Region: The Mystical Council
Hm. This is a problem. What do we do about people outside of the region who are part of our region but aren't able to cast a vote? I didn't anticipate this dilemma. I really don't know what to do about this!
Everything we try to do ends up creating MORE PROBLEMS!
*Snaps*
*rants*
*calms down*
Ok, is there a way that we can find a simple, and I mean simple way to vote in elections? I am truly baffled right now.
Naumadal
Is it ok to allow nations to vote in our polls who aren't in our region? We've never done this before? And wouldn't that just open the doors for voting to become corrupted yet again?
I'm going to go crazy.
Naumadal
NO, that's not what i'm saying.
Just saying people that move their 'main nation' but still have a secondary here should be able to vote, or a trusted person here who has been here within 24 hours
Forestavia
already registered voters who are temporarily gone should retain their rights i mean
Forestavia
That's good. I think that is a good compromise. So what does that mean? Your vote, Parakkas vote, and Emforia's votes will all count then?
sure.
and i would say alistia, but i know you're doing your audit so yea just us3
I would be cool with that. I think it's fair and reasonable to do it that way.
----------------
Is there anybody online right now who objects to this idea? And if so why? Are there any potential problems that could arise down the road by doing this?
Naumadal
I support it.
Forestavia, Plugo
I just want to prevent any more poll confusion down the road because this poor region has really been through the ringer lately. I really like Naumadal's idea. But there is this feeling in the pit of my stomach that somehow it's going to come back to haunt us. Because literally every decision we make creates more problems.
If you take two mirrors and face them toward each other and stand between them, that's how I feel right now. Somehow... we are going to get stuck in the vortex.

All I know for sure is that three lefts make a right. I think the number of wrongs might be up for debate, though.
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Plugo
should we just embrace this problem?
Hey! Welcome to the Mystical Council! We were involved in a pretty heavy discussion before. Didn't mean to ignore you. Feel free to swing by in the future and chat with us. We're building a constitutional monarchy and boy do we have our work cut out for us.
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Lampar, Plugo
0 wrongs = 1 or more rights
1 wrong = 1 wrong
2 wrongs = justice/revenge
3 wrongs = chaos
4 wrongs = anarchy
Republic Of Greater Cuba
What is that?
Exotic Lemon
as long as random people dont take advantage of this to vote in the polls when they are new to the region.
this should be reserved for 'natives.'

why the sigh?
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Plugo
Something I just came up with.
Yes! Me gusta mucho.
We need a definition for native. A week, two weeks, a month?
Republic Of Greater Cuba
2 weeks and actively commenting on rmb?
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Exotic Lemon
I think 2 weeks or a month
Because we are screwing ourselves either way. I would like for us to just stop worrying so much about this corruption sh*t when we can just ask a moderator to see if any nations are puppets of one main, but since we are not going that route and we want things the hard way, then we should just embrace it because this is democracy, but no, someone is mad at me for saying that and wants only natives to be able to vote, and in my views, that is a very light type of creating social classes and a tiny bit of segregation

thats not a native.
Republic Of Greater Cuba
How about three weeks?
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Exotic Lemon
mods cant disclose information about other nations.
and they are not our slaves, even if they could divulge info about other nations, they shouldn't have to answer a stupid question about 20+ nations.
Forestavia
ill create 50 puppets and make sure people that i like win every election then :)
Republic Of Greater Cuba
Post self-deleted by Lampar.
WA will still be a requirement. Three weeks with a known WA?
Exotic Lemon
I could actually care less if you won every election
You have 50 puppets. Probably more. But you don't ruin elections with them.
Plugo
what about [nation=short]VIVA ITALIA[/nation]? he doesnt have a wa and I doubt he will ever get one.
I really cannot believe how complicated this is...
Exotic Lemon
dinner brb
I am laughing and crying all at once
Forestavia
According to our rules, their vote doesn't count. Unless we start getting into more exceptions which will just confuse everyone.
Republic Of Greater Cuba
just make it so this is a one time thing.

Could you go into detail? What do you mean?

I declare this region a Banana Republic by Royal Decree! Everyone will be given a title starting with Charlie the Unicorn.
Republic Of Greater Cuba
all registered voters must have a puppet here to represent them if they need to leave the region for some reason.
Eh, can we be a central american dictatorship?
I think my brain is shutting down.

i got to arena 7 on royale but lost all my good decks and everytime im close to winning some bum uses a rocket or lightning on my tower and i lose
Republic Of Greater Cuba
Can you give me a concrete example? Let's say I have WA on Forestavia and I move Forestavia out. Oakplumington has to stay? (Might be a poor example since Oak needs to be here anyway.)
Plugo
I've got to go to bed soon. I didn't sleep well last night.
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Plugo
Wow, that sounds like an interesting situation.
Republic Of Greater Cuba
plugo leaves, so i move germania here.
if your main nation leaves, a pup must be here to rep your vote.
Republic Of Greater Cuba
So Naumadal, Parakka, and Emforia would need to have puppets here for their votes to count then right? Is that what you meant by a one time exception letting their votes stand this once without having a puppet in the main region?
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Plugo
correctamundo.
Forestavia, Republic Of Greater Cuba
It sounds really complicated to me. If we do all that, we might as well just require them to be present in the region to vote.
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Plugo
I just made the stupidest user manual ever in my free time, wrote about how to use a brick
Forestavia, Plugo
I could probably use a brick right about now.
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Plugo
just make it so all registered voters can vote no matter where they are, but lose registration after they are gone for 5 days (excluding orca/tbg ops)
Exotic Lemon
i could probably use a good deck right now.

Forestavia, Republic Of Greater Cuba

Forestavia, Exotic Lemon
Wow, I am so burned out right now. Before we have any more elections let's get our voting rules straight. Should I start working on another dispatch about voting rules? Maybe we should vote on that before we continue these elections.

I'm laughing so hard right now.
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Exotic Lemon
this is the greatest thing I have read all day.
Republic Of Greater Cuba
Place your Brick on the bottom corner of your door for an easy to use door-stop.
Use tape or other adhesive on your Brick to hold your balloons in place for easy decoration of any room.
Place your brick in parachute bag in place of parachute for fun cartoon style prank on your friends.
Place your brick in pillow case and tie rope to the end for a useful weapon during apocalypse.
AND THERE IS SO MUCH F*CKING MORE TO EXPLORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exotic Lemon
You can go ahead with that since it's not an elected office. But I'm just concerned about the continuing voting problems.
Here's what I'm going to do. Over the next couple days, I'm going to take my decrees, the Fraud Act, and some of the ideas from tonight's discussion and lump them all together into one big voting guide. We can vote on it and then (if it passes) we can proceed without anymore election confusion. Hopefully.

TMC Brick Tip! Use this on April 1 for an excellent prank on an unsuspecting bellhop! When he asks what you've got in there, bricks? you can respond "Yes!" BrickCorporation is not liable for any injuries incurred from your Brick's unwitting participation in puerile practical jokes

Ahem. Caught red-handed.
.....There will be two lists that are related to voting.
One list will be of all nations that are able to vote and have proven that they control a wa nation or showed their wa ban screenshots. The second list will be of all nations who cannot vote, either because they have not registered or are proven puppets.
all nations out of the region for more then 5 days will lose their voting rights.

I think we are going through a brick fetish
FYI - We decided to include Naumadal, Parakka, and Emforia's votes. We also began discussing the intricacies of voting in this region yet again. Turns out we need to pass a comprehensive voter guide before we continue with anymore elections. Crazy, huh? I never thought government could be so complicated!
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Exotic Lemon
or why our flag would be a picture of bricks, literally, I looked up "brick wallpapers"
Forestavia, Exotic Lemon
I'm going to bed people. I know the fleeters won't attack us a long as we have a brick wall surrounding this region. Build the wall - Build the wall.
