Ok, slow down, but I've never met this dude before he was laid to rest, so can someone give me a catch-up?
Vista Major
Well fvck, I stand corrected: ◔_◔
What.
Nuclear armed lunatic France scares you?
OK. That'll be odd with Soviets in France. Would make for an interesting time.
Well, I'd still argue that it doesn't, seeing as to how once again, it carries the multiple connotations that could lead to the assumption of regional history not being understood there when Oel has literally just said he did understand.
Furthermore, I'm happy to be able to quote you, actually, because-
- really fits that spoon feeding comment pretty well.
Frankly, we could argue about connotation all day and it would benefit no one, so I'll just support Sul's motion to not kick dirt on the past regions -in my eyes- and bug out of here.
All of the Baltics
La Commune Francaise, mon mec. Ca va etre trrrres bien.
Also, not true soviets. Just revolutionary.
Its okay if that doest fly, I can go be a Chinamen with my Sino in my name, sit in a pile of a billion homies to do my bidding with
Just France, full stop, scares me. Did you know that, if anything, Napoleon was actually slightly above average in height? What type of false sense of security are they trying to lure us into?
Jaslandia
I am vivvidly aware >:)
Picture this though. Napoleonic communards. Picture it. Picture it real good.
Jaslandia
No, it's fine. It'll be fun for me and Oel in the ITF, who are basically rivals of the communist (the Unfallian kind)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Commune
I can picture it very well
Sinovet, Jaslandia
Yeah, and then the truecommunists can yell at the pseudo royalist french for being despotic nondemocrats
And Sine may make ready the All French World Rampage. One man vs the world :p
Que- Québec?
Sinovet, Jaslandia
Well, taller than the average Frenchman at the time. By today's standards, 5'6" isn't particularly tall.

Why think you I said communards and not communists. Though technically the commune in France is just a political division, they just happened to be of the paris commune when they rebelled.
We'll go mess with Quebec when we want some goofy anglicized version of the true mother tongue
Oh yeah. Down with the communist! lol. :p
o fuk
das me
Sinovet
You don't know insanity until you've met him
It's not that
Sinovet
Payback for pronouncing "oui" like a quacking duck.
That'll learn ya.
Sinovet
Faire des courses, not magaziner! Lazy Quebecois, just translated english instead of use time honored unique french phrases
I leik this. It pleases me.
"Oui oui" he says in the most Québécois accent.
Sinovet, Oelesa
I'll have ye know my nation's Anglophone government has a rich history of oppressing the Francophones in Quebec! Hell even until several months ago, French wasn't even legal. And then it was legalized and recognized and people in Quebec felt like having a revolution and that was quickly put to rest so they're back in the corner where they belong.

I want to start off by saying that the poll concept is still in its trial stages, and that these notes about the system are appreciated and duly noted.
I was completely aware that polls did not allow the voter to change their vote. However, I allowed for that to occur in the belief that members would adapt to wait for a sufficient amount of debate to occur before casting their vote. This has been my main focus during this trial period - whether the lack of ability to change one's vote encourages or stifles debate. The jury is still out, which is why the polls are still in a trial phase.
To the second issue, that of verification of members, I will admit that I failed to consider the necessity to verify votes in that way. There is no way, at current nor possible using the ZetaBoards forums, to confirm voters in polls. For this failure, I sincerely apologise. And while I recognise that this is indeed an issue, I want to note that the chances of a mass false-vote campaign attempting to sway our legislative process are minuscule, as is any effect thereof to date. To mitigate any concerns about legislation passed through the polling method, I have listed them and their final vote tallies here:
[1] Approval of the President's Nominee (Foreign Affairs) - Humpheria - PASSED with 11 AYE - 1 NO - 2 ABSTAIN
[2] Elected Ministry Amendment - Vista Major - PASSED with 8 AYE - 4 NO - 0 ABSTAIN
[3] Approval of the President's Nominee (Justice) - Humpheria - PASSED with 10 AYE - 3 NO - 1 ABSTAIN
Given that these all passed with large margins, I see no need to reconduct the votes listed here.
Again, these have been all noted.
So Baxten, we good for Sinoveen France or do I need to apply all official like somewhereabouts?
You're good.

Sinovet, what is your WA nation?
Also this region is filled with socialist and communist states.
Yes, but now me an Oel are sandwhiched between Sin and Bear
Oelesa
I have a Grand Great Lakes Empire. I border Merc and the most capitalist nation in this region, Magnatronia.
Oelesa
He's, but Sin's run by the "Mad King" and Bear is in the most competitive alliance against the ITF.
Sinovet, Oelesa
Dont have one. You can consider this my one and only nation
Welcome to the neighborhood, neighbor.

Vista Major, Oelesa
I know
It's the irony of your predicament
Oelesa
Yup.

I appreciate the time the Speaker took to provide a response and discuss the poll feature. Given that the forum polls do not allow for the voters to be verified against the citizen roster to determine if the voters are indeed citizens and that they retain legal right to vote (i.e. are not the President or the Speaker in cases where a tie has not occurred), I believe that polls should not be used as the means for recording votes for future bills, motions, or nominations in the House.
Recognizing this flaw now and the fact that Article I Section I of the Constitution cannot be guaranteed as long as it is in use, I'd ask that the poll feature be removed from legislation not yet concluded within the House.
And although I recognize the Speaker's point regarding those pieces of legislation that have already passed using the poll feature, and I agree with his findings, it is my opinion that once legislation has been considered passed by the legislature it moves out of the jurisdiction of the Speaker. Determining whether those three items have legal validity would therefore fall within the jurisdiction of the Courts (should a citizen ever feel compelled to challenge them).
Jaslandia
Same.
Kumania could prolly be considered West Scandinavia tbh bc of how socialist and progressive it is
Minnesota Dakota
Bax, I have a question. Who would ever choose the tiny sliver of land bordering Vista?
Hey, when the lands get low you get desperate. Bear want a border between Vis that was more than a border, so I made that land.
Oelesa
Someone with no need to overcompensate?
Baxten
I should say this: We're fine with socialist like y'all. We're against Unfallian type radical communist and we're suspicious of what Sin's got brewing over in France.

As well you should be >:3

I'll have you know that this action Oel has taken has brought dishonour upon my family and if the closure request isn't cancelled I'll have to commit seppuku out of shame.

Noose or guillotine?
Post self-deleted by Magnatronia.
In real life, I would say neither.
But in character, I would say put death row inmates on an island dotted with various weapons, and then televise the entire thing.
Isn't that a movie?
How is everyone today if I may ask?
You tell me.
It's called the condemned.
Never heard of it!
Oh, well it's a lot like what you said. You should watch it.
There's also "Hunger Games" [the books not the sh*tty movie] and "The Most Dangerous Game"
Oelesa
But the condemned Is the more modern one I know. I love the hUnger games
who knows, maybe we could do an RP of it.
Oelesa
Hold up, first we have sino come back from the dead, and now we have this? Oh, boy, someone call an exorcist, oh wait, thats me.
I like how I read this after I got the issue with the line, "These people, these simple farmers, they just take what they don't understand and then claim its magic!"
i take offense to this.
What are we collectively on about?
beats me.
I didn't make the issue, I just connected the dots as happenstance occurred
i know.

Act to repeal of the Ministry of Engagement is still up, but without the poll because that's a flawed system. Using the old system of writing "aye" or "nay".
