Region: The Mystical Council

History

The region has about one hour left under the rule of Oakplumington Insanity. :)

We let an anarchy rule an organized government? How does that work?

Oakplumington wrote:Lunar Council President Malcholm has said something similar earlier today. I am opposed to the idea. I love the unpredictability of this region.

Similar, though it was a 'should we' rather than a 'we should'. I'm not entirely opposed to the way things are; its consistently brought in a flow of new nations from the hallowed depths of [nation=short]TRF Submarine Group V[/nation] to the mountainous glory of [nation=short]jegerkompaniet[/nation]. What I'm opposed to is a region led by a majority of raiders, but I'd guess that sort of thing belongs in a political party! I won't presently pursue some sort of reform or policy, but if [nation=short]vaspassia[/nation] wants to pursue a resolution to our issues when they become a member of the Lunar Council or President of Sentagon the way I vote will be entirely dependent upon the intent of the legislation. Generally speaking: I'm opposed to number 6 and would enjoy something closer to a mix of 1 and 5, but I'm not against the occurrence of 2 or 3 and their potential outcomes.

Oakplumington wrote:"As Acting Delegate, I would like to propose abolishing the Interregional Council. Can I count on the Lunar Council to back me? I already have two votes."

Frogcha sent out official letters to Chingislan, Jegerkompaniet, and Trf Submarine Group V asking for support.

The letter said...

"LISTEN UP!!! WHEN NEW BACON RECLAIMS THE DELEGACY I WANT THE LUNAR COUNCIL TO HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT ON TAHARQA'S DESK READY TO BE APPROVED BY HIM. IT IS TIME FOR SENTAGON!!!"

When you do come over, vote for option two please. The third and fourth options are not really options if you vote for them this region really could explode. Seriously, we might have to resort to direct democracy or something. And Option 1 is not effective either. When I created the Interregional Council, I thought I was being creative. But I'll tell you the truth. I created a monster. It's Frankin-government!!! So please vote for two. It's the only answer.

----------------

Separate issue -

And also, Chingislan and Jegerkompaniet I have an idea. If you are serious about being active in this regional government, we should work on a project together. There are forces at work in our regional government that wish to prevent raids in this region. What I propose is that we, create a political party called the Flexible Government Party. Now I'm assuming that you are both partial to the raiding cause. Theoretically, if we work together to create the Flexible Government Party (FGP) we could solidify raiding tradition right here in The Mystical Council. This will help preserve regional chaos for generations to come - fluid government in other words.

I think when embassies get cancelled other regions tend to notice as well. That in and of itself could be a form of advertising.

I agree with your opposition to 6. Passwords really tend to kill activity. UTNA seems to kind of be an exception but even then it isn't as active as it used to be.

I truly believe the key is establishing Sentagon as our third branch. Every single nation will have a voice. And I am also considering doing what we did in UTNA for a time and give the WA nations of Sentagon 2 votes and nations without WA status 1 vote.

Malcholm

I'd be against the WA bias in Sentagon. While WA nations are typically more reputable, it would give one part of Sentagon more power than the other. A natural 50/50 split between a WA nation and a non-WA nation would then inherently go the way of the WA nation because they have a technical majority with. 2-1 vote. Itd give a select few power over the rest of the region, meaning that Sentagon wouldn't be, in my opinion, truly representative of the entire region.

Also, I don't believe that Transfan200 will be returning anytime soon. I know him IRL; he got himself into some pretty bad sh+t at school. Elections are really close in the Greater Holy Isles, so he'll be replaced right around when we have our elections here if he doesn't CTE or get impeached for inactivity before then.

I added a bit to our constitution that allows a member of the Cabinet to be impeached based on their general activity and conduct IC and OOC. If a suitable case can be presented, it'll be taken to the public polls where they'll face the region. In my region, inactivity in excess of ten days without notice is enough to potentially get you evicted from you position so that the government doesn't become stagnant.

In his absence, I'll hold a poll in the region so that we aren't forced to abstain from the IRC vote.

That is a good point. I'm looking for a way to encourage WA membership. You're absolutely right though such a system wouldn't be truly representative.

*sees that bacon still isnt the delegate*

The ambassador to the region sees his opportunity. 'Here's my chance! Its now or never.'

Seconds ago: The Federal Republic of New Bacon became regional WA Delegate.

The Twelfth Delegate of The Mystical Council

12. New Bacon: 12/3/2015 - Present

The Mystical Council

With the support of Oakplumington, New Bacon returned to the Delegacy. Oakplumington stepped down as Acting Delegate.

Discussions continued about Sentagon as well as the legitimacy of raiding.

Oakplumington proposed the creation of the Flexible Government Party (FGP) in order to protect raiding tradition in The Mystical Council.

Oakplumington wrote:You should totally make a bid for the Delegacy. You would win.

Maybe if the Greater Holy Isles goes stale..

..or I enact a forced migration? Who knows at this point. I've got a lot of IRL friends in the region but none of the really do much. [nation=short]tatertotia[/nation] and [nation=short]deafviper[/nation] have been my right hand men as they've been the only ones this far to step up and do something.

And now that most everything with [nation=short]new_pyrosky[/nation] has simmered down, I don't really know where I want to take the region.

I've considered taking off the password lock numerous times, but there's no better way to prevent complete and utter destruction

Embrace the destruction, man. It's the only way to fly.

Do you think your friends would be cool making their home in this crazy region?

I am going to bed. I spent waaaaaaaaay tooooooo much time on this game today. I can't wait to see what adventures this region will see tomorrow. adios amigos!

Malcholm

I just had the greatest idea!!! We should play a game. Every player gets authority over communications. The game ends when every post is suppressed. The idea is to make the most coherent story out of everyone else's posts. So for example, let's say I suppress Malcholm's post. The one that says:

Seconds ago: The Vereint Reich of Malcholm altered the region's flag.

Seconds ago: The Federal Republic of New Bacon became regional WA Delegate.

'Craap..so close..maybe he won't notice?'

Now what I have to do is take the first five words and the last five words and try to put them together.

Like this:

Seconds ago: The Vereint Reich....close maybe he won't notice?

Now rearrange it:

Maybe seconds ago he won't notice the close Vereint Reich.

It should be a ten word "sentence" that is as close to a sentence as it gets.

Since I suppressed Malcholm's post it's his turn to pick someone to suppress and he has to do the same thing with the five words on each end of the post and try to make a sentence out of it.

No one is allowed to play out of turn.

You guys want to try it?

New Bacon, Malcholm

I know it's unconstitutional but it won't be any worse than the raid we just dealt with today.

Malcholm

Oakplumington wrote:Embrace the destruction, man. It's the only way to fly.

I'm sure they wouldn't mind all that much, but I'm also sure that most of them kept playing because they didn't fall into irrelivancy under the weight of a bunch of other people. If they moved over, its likely they would all slowly CTE..OR they'd step up their game because this region is insanely active. I'd have to ask, but it'd definetly be controversial with all we've done in the Greater Holy Isles.

The following unconstitutional actions were taken by Wuqumof:

3. Buddhism, The Utopian Freesocialists, and Darkstar were rejected without the approval of the regional government.

4. Another nation's poll was cancelled without the approval of the regional government.

5. All five members of the Lunar Council were illegally stripped of their authority.

6. About one or two RMB pages worth of posts were suppressed without reason.

I just wanted to point out that Wuqumof did not perpetrate action 6, I did. :D

As it presently stands, the majority of voting nations within The Greater Holy Isles have motioned their favor in establishing Sentagon as The Mystical Council's regions third form of government.

That's ok, I'm just worried that the raiding tradition in this region may be done away with if we are not constantly vigilant. We have to form a political party in this region that is pro-raiding. It would do wonders for the cause of chaos. I think there is a Greek god called chaos, actually come to think of it. Kinda fits with the whole religion/mystical sort of theme.

Ok so any raiders that own businesses in New Bacon should prepare if the Corporate income taxes go up.

However Plum Oakton the President of Oakplumington has announced that Taharqa will be ok and that other Mystical Council agencies should not have to worry. Corporate income tax in New Bacon is currently 1.69% which Congress is considering to raise it to 2.25%. OOC: I GO BY MY OWN TAXES BUT NOT BY WHAT THE GAME SAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TGHI IRC VOTE STATUS UPDATE]

As it turns out, Transfan200 actually made his return today. He's motioned his support of the manner in which the poll has been conducted, and wishes for my vote to continue representation of our region throughout this ordeal. Every nation who has voted thus far has motioned for the complete and utter destruction of the Interregional Council, and that the building be torn brick from brick. However, they'd enjoy maintaining the current relations with this great region, in that many of them seem to hold more favorable opinions of the nation's who reside here.

Anti-Criminal Mafia wrote:Can I get a summery of how to become a part of the regional government

Technically, you already are! Just by being in the region you're admitted to our House of Representatives, 'Sentagon'. If you're talking about the Lunar Council, asking nicely and praying to your God that the members of the region aren't a bunch of asinine lunatics usually works.

[spoiler]Lucky for you, we aren't that crazy.[/spoiler]

Really though, all you have to do is ask! Elections for my and [nation=short]TRF_submarine_group_V[/nation]'s positions are around Christmas, if you can wait that long. From the sound of it, you'd be running against Sentagon President [nation=short]Vaspassia[/nation].

[spoiler]If a spot opens up before the elections, you can always overthrow [nation=short]New Bacon[/nation] and decimate the Lunar Council like [nation=short]Jegerkompaniet[/nation] and [nation=short]chingislan[/nation] did. They were raiders who got admitted to the Lunar Council nearly immediately after they ravaged our home; not without penalty, of course.

Just remember, I wasn't the one who told you you can do that.[/spoiler]

Anti-Criminal Mafia wrote:Can I get a summery of how to become a part of the regional government

You are a part of the Newly formed Sentagon(Maybe) but you can also run for lunar council seats. Like If you are a raider then of course you're gonna overthrow my seat like what happened to me twice and then try to dissolve the Lunar Council with my seat powers. Although like Malcholm said elections are around Christmas so maybe you could run for a seat then I mean it is your choice.

Malcholm

Hey, what's up everyone? I missed a couple days.

Where are we on the Suppress-A-Post Game? It looks like it might be fizzling out. Is it my turn?

Anti-Criminal Mafia wrote:Can I get a summery of how to become a part of the regional government

Like they said, once we get Sentagon established, all that will be required of nations to be in government is to be present in the region.

Our government is like this:

The Delegacy - the WA nation with the most endorsements can be elected at anytime.

The Lunar Council (five nations) - Two seats up for reelection every lunar cycle.

The not-quite-established Sentagon - Everybody else.

Right now we have a body of government called the Interregional Council which I am trying to get rid of. It's not very functional (the experiment failed). I created a political party called the Anti-Interregional Party whose sole purpose is to get rid of the Interregional Council and to establish Sentagon as The Mystical Council's third branch. I'm the only nation officially registered with it right now.

The Malcholmian Ambassador looks longingly out his office window at the Circle Centre, imagining himself standing strong and proud in place of the infamous statue of Zolo Wilson. Out of the corner of his eye, he spots something..

'..a new flag?'

He pulls up a new tab in Chrome, confused as to what he just noticed.

'I've never seen something like that before..'

A quick search brings him to something he'd never expected.

'AH! New Bacon?! What's going on?

He looks back outside, now seemingly content with himself.

'Hmm.. well, I like it.'

The Ambassador decides to shoot an email to President Taharqa; 'kept it simple and sweet.'

It reads:

OOC: The Circle Centre is the area outside the LC offices that houses a flag of every nation in the region in a circular fashion. In the center of the Centre stands a large monument to Zolo Wilson, the first delegate of the region. The Centre acts as a home for international government facilities and booming commercial industries in the region's capitol.

Hola! привет!

I don't know French either. I know a little Spanish and a microscopic bit of Russian.

The Malcholmian Ambassador looks longingly out his office window at the Circle Centre, imagining himself standing strong and proud in place of the infamous statue of Zolo Wilson. Out of the corner of his eye, he spots something..

'..a new flag?'

He pulls up a new tab in Chrome, confused as to what he just noticed.

'I've never seen something like that before..'

A quick search brings him to something he'd never expected.

'AH! New Bacon?! What's going on?

He looks back outside, now seemingly content with himself.

'Hmm.. well, I like it.'

The Ambassador decides to shoot an email to President Taharqa; 'kept it simple and sweet.'

It reads:

"Hey, nice flag. It's pretty cool."

Corrected OOC: I kinda reorganized my nation's structure a little bit and on the flag it quotes "Quinquaginta Unum Provincias" Which means 51 Provinces in Latin. IC: New Bacon Congress and The People of New Bacon have voted to change the flag Taharqa is happy!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm thinking outside the box a little. Hey Malcholm, what if we say that the Red Fleet Victims Union is back on the Interregional Council? Then we could put that vote towards our 6 Interregional Votes.

Taharqa is like................................................

Right now the Interregional Council has 10 members.

A. If Friese ceases to exist today we will go from 10 to 9 Interregional Council members.

B. If we put Malcholm's puppet back on we will go from 10 to 11.

If A and B both happen then we will be right back at 10 members and will still require 6 votes to pass it.

We currently have from both polls...

Pro Sentagon/Abolish Interregional Council

Pyrosky for Transfan, The God of Play, Alternate Universe 716, The Prayer Room, 4 votes

We will have 5 votes with Malcholm's Victim's Union puppet

Keep the Interregional Council: New Pyrosky (Leodora)

The Interregional Council is very close to passing this.

We still need one more Lunar Council vote.

We have New Bacon's approval.

I think Sentagon is going to happen. It might take a few more days but I think we might have this in the bag. We might also have to wait until the Cold Moon elections to replace Captain Misley. That will give us the Lunar Council vote we need. I am throwing full support behind Vaspassia's run for office this election.

5 residents are for it

13

3 are mine

3 are malcholm's

We have 9 residents (puppets excluded)

5/9 = 55.556%

We need two-thirds. So we're about 10% away. On that level.

Yeah...Once we get through this, Sentagon will replace two categories: the residential nations as well as the Interregional Council. This will simplify our crazy government.

I hope nobody minds that I'm literally thinking out loud on the RMB.

Done. The letters (AIP) appear after your nation name on the regional government factbook.

Oh yeah Sign me Up for the Anti-Interregional Party!!!!!!

Please vote for option two in the poll or just state that you're for it on the RMB. We could be just days (maybe hours) away from a functional regional government. We're so close...We need you. Bring ChingisLan if you can.

Hello!

Um, I should vote for option 2 you say?

Malcholm, Oakplumington

Wolfdon wrote:Hello!

Your vote officially represents your region. Unless I hear differently from the regional government.

Announcement everyone: Unless we hear differently from Werewolves Of The Flame, we are going to count Wolfdon as their IRC representative. We officially have 5 votes (6 if we count malcholm's puppet from that other region).

We are so close... It's killing me. If Freise ceases to exist today, then we will have the approval of the Interregional Council.

Wolfdon wrote:Um, I should vote for option 2 you say?

Yes. :) Thank you!!! Thank you!! :)

Oakplumington wrote:Yes. :) Thank you!!! Thank you!! :)

Should I send a puppet to the region?

Here I am anyway.

You don't have to but you can if you want.

Actually, a puppet would help with our residential nation statistics. We're hovering at 56% right now and we need two thirds.

Are you going to ask URN to vote in it too?

Residential update

6/10 in favor (Crimson Coalistion is Wolfdon)

60% - 6% left remaining almost there.

Crimson

AU912

Malcholm

Vaspassia

Oakplumington

New Bacon

Interregional update - check?

5 or 6/11 (all we need is the ok from Malcholm and the Victims Union Army Puppet will count as a vote)

Approved by the Delegacy - check

One Lunar Council vote away from approval - (Are we really going to have to wait until Christmas?)

Recruiter friendly tag. :) Any raiders looking for a home, just stop by the Walls of Alpha Wolf.

So what's shaking?

Not too much. Trying to reform government. Fix the constitution. Ya know, the basics.

Crimson Coalition wrote:Are you going to ask URN to vote in it too?

We can't. We don't have embassies established with them. I'm actually waiting for friese to cease to exist and Malcholm to give me the green light on a region that he runs. Then we'll be done with the Interregional Council side of things.

The constitution requires four levels of approval for amendments. Since abolishing the Interregional Council is a major consititutional alteration we have to jump through all the hoops. We can manipulate the stats a little bit but only so much. Puppet votes don't count here but if it happens via the Interregional Council, that's ok. This Interregional Council thing is just a confusing mess.

Unless.... someone from URN physically comes over and votes for option two as a resident nation. That would work. If there's a loophole I'm going to find it. All we really need is one more resident to vote, then we can scratch the residential nations off the list.

Maybe... I could vote for URN and then Wolfdon could vote for WotF? :/ That sounds corrupted or something..
