With technology from the 80's (I have ~250 SA), perhaps the Star Wars program is on the books
Socialistic Britain, Rica Nardis, Vordoslavia, Mjau
the people demanded a new fairer SA system
they GET A NEW FAIRER SA SYSTEM
Kaidia, Vordoslavia, Mjau
god dammit
I had way too much planned
Socialistic Britain, Vordoslavia
I was literally going to create a hyper-reactor and space cannon
Vordoslavia, Mjau
Ok.
Kaidia, Vordoslavia
well
i know what to do now
but
i don't know what to do now
Vordoslavia
Nice. 70s-80s tech
Kaidia, Vordoslavia, Mjau
But wait...
Pyhdon isn't even close to space colonization!
How is he even on Earth and Gaia simultaneously?
i require answers, Socialistic Britain
Vordoslavia, Mjau
What's your definition of "close to space colonization"?
Do you mean the current SA system or old one?
Kaidia, Vordoslavia, Mjau
Boo NS stats :P
Kaidia, Vordoslavia, Mjau
Idk, maybe just the ability to travel to and back from Earth and Gaia (while also transporting colonists)?
Vordoslavia
well yes but.. I meant as in being close to it
because pyhdon has 70s-80s technology and going off that, it could maybe be possible that pyhdon could colonize space
there is no strict guidelines, I and RP Admins will only step in on what we think would constitute or is a clear RP rule violation

How are you doing today
Kaidia, Vordoslavia, Mjau
Good
Bored, but good
Kaidia, Mjau, Western Arba Fir
Ok that be a good idea
Vordoslavia, Mjau
Keyword, maybe
Kaidia, Adreabhal, Vordoslavia, Mjau
I like the new SA system and I like that Adreabhal is canonically in its 2000s era culturally... time to make some cult classics in terms of movies, songs, etc. The real fun won't begin til we reach the 10s, though...
Socialistic Britain, Kaidia, Vordoslavia, Mjau
this is more unfair for me
I finally reached modern technology two days before your new SA chart
and now am late 20th century instead of modern
I feel violated

Well yaknow if you didnt complain vordo we wouldnt be in this situation now would we?
Kaidia, Puttt
So I literally just dont want to hear it
Ya know what, how about next time you make the chart instead of just complaining and doing nothing?
Hmm vordo?
Kaidia, Puttt
Be respectful, Lemona.
Kaidia, Vordoslavia, San Jorentino
I will admit.. I agree with lemona from that viewpoint
but yes it could've been worded better
Lemona, Kaidia, Puttt, Vordoslavia, Sasnakria
hello.
Kaidia, Vordoslavia
did for the past few days, I had reached 200
and Lemona, I only complained cause my issues were trash, listen to Mjau
hmm, Lemona?
Hello!
someone didn't pay attention to my SA!
Kaidia, Adreabhal
? i just got here. what do i do?
Kaidia, Vordoslavia
Well, in a few moments, you may get a telegram listing all the things you can do!
Kaidia
k :\
Kaidia, Vordoslavia
when?
Kaidia, Vordoslavia
it should come any second now!
Kaidia, Jimmy Bobby 2
what would happen if i declared war on a diffrent riegion
Kaidia
you are not a regional officer or higher, it wouldn't count for anything
also you might be banned now
Kaidia
So...
You only had a problem with the old SA chart because of your issues?
Vordoslavia
tbh yes
none of my issues boosted my SA, and until last week, none of them really did, I just hit a boom for some reason
but it's not just my fault, other people wanted change too
Kaidia
Hm...
Well, I guess this is the new standard until someone else calls for a change. I'm just kinda mad I wasn't able to pull off my hyper-reactor.
And I'll never get to...
Vordoslavia
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
'Cause if I say I miss you I know that you won't

Hello everyone I am United Democratic Christian States aka the JEFF founder and as per my post N day announcement I said I would engage on the RMB of each JEFF region to try and directly speak with the JEFF members as especially on this N day, there are a lot of you I have never spoken to. So I have created this list of questions to both help me get a better understanding of all of you as well as allow you to engage with and get to know me. You may also choose to answer anonymously by TGing instead. Without further ado, let's get into it.
Also please dont reply unless you participated in JEFF, thank you.
[spoiler=Questions][list=1]
[*]How would you rate your most recent N day experience out of 10? Did you like anything about JEFF? Dislike? And how did it compare to your experiences with a different faction (if you were in a different faction previously)
[*]Did you agree or disagree with allowing GCRs and major UCRs into JEFF, breaking our historical trend of mid-sized UCRs? Why?
[*]What did you think about our alliance with Anime Nations Against Liberals and Starlight Brigade?
[*]Do you think we should have attacked Anime Nations Against Liberals at any point? If so, when? (For context on what I assume the most likely answer is, post KHAN we were both smaller and already 30% radiated. Compared to I think Anime Nations suffering 6% radiation)
[*]Are there any faction changes you recommend for next N day or the World Trade Fair?
[*]Would you like to join JEFF again in the future?
[*]Finally is there any other comments youd like to add, questions youd like to ask of me or fears youd like addressed?[/list][/spoiler]

Kaidia, Puttt, Vordoslavia

no worries! Parliament is a group of nations who vote on laws for the region. You can join once you've become a Citizen, which usually means being in the region for 30 days. Welcome to the region by the way!

1. I always enjoy Nday, however in recent history, this one was my least favorite. There felt like a lack of a coordinated approach this time around, however, this was mostly due to the huge influx of regions/ high command participating. I loved the opportunity to meet new people, only issue with Nday is the lack of time to actually chat with people because you are too busy concentrating on everything going on.
2. I tentatively agree that GCRs should be open to joining JEFF. But only if they agree with our approach. It's an added bonus that they bring on board a high number of nations. The frustrations on the night seemed to be due to different regions having a different perspective on strategy - new members of JEFF were more eager to have fun at the event (understandable) with older members understanding that we have a really good relationship with ANAL and Starlight meaning we wouldn't want to go against them unless provoked. We were almost looking ahead to the next Nday rather than focusing on what could be the most fun. So TLDR, we need an agreed Nday approach, if GCRs our onboard they are welcome would be my view.
3. As alluded to above, we enjoy a great relationship with these two factions. On the night it worked out brilliantly meaning that we effectively were on the winning team, however there were clear frustrations that we just sat around and did nothing for a large portion of Nday. Honestly, in future, we should probably just have a bit more fun (although I myself understand the perspective of wanting a good position on the leaderboard). The most important thing for JEFF (IMO) is that if we ally, make an NAP, or general pact with any other faction we don't break that ever, unless mutually agreed or broken by the other side. This is why our relationship with ANAL and Starlight has been so positive because it's built on trust, I'd always want our faction to be committed to any treaty that we've made (may sound like common sense, however, it seemed others were quick to suggest we break our word - especially regarding NAPs)
4. Most likely towards the last few hours we should have just had some fun. Only when it was less consequential to the score, and if agreed with our allies. I know ANAL was keen to actually do something, but we turned down helping them break the intercept record, because of concerns it could accidentally just turn into a war. Also earlier in the event, they suggested JEFF & Starlight vs ANAL which could have been fun (towards the last few hours).
5. High Command needs re-organisation, the whole power and authority dynamics were strange. We cannot be an effective alliance unless we know who the people are making decisions and communicating decisions. My suggestion would be High Command (HC) and Event Command (EC). EC would be maybe 5 people who we knew would be online for Nday, these can be either put forward and agreed by HC prior to the event. EC would be empowered to make those decisions in the moment, but also be responsible for a coordinated communication plan. JEFF Nday 9 worked well because we had UDCS, AC and me online all on the same page and effectively communicating with our faction. We just about managed in Nday 10 but there were at least 3 occasions where orders were screwed up due to poor communication. Next time round, if I am part of high command, I would want to run fewer puppets to help manage communications (I feel this is one of my strengths anyway). Also, I would like to re-iterate a point made by Neso on the night, that our orders out to faction page and RMB weren't good enough and need a re-think. Essentially our forum of communication is Discord, maybe we can think about improvements to this next time around.
6. Yes, I know I certainly want to see The Region That Has No Big Banks, and the InterLeft participating in JEFF for the foreseeable future.
7. Mainly just to re-iterate, an agreed strategy an approach prior to Nday that consists of more than just taking part in a pact, we need to think further ahead with scenarios, albeit I recognise this is difficult. For example, on the issue of 'punching down', if we'd known that factions whose scores were already screwed up 'were on the menu' earlier I believe we would have got second place. We had about 2 hours of having a decent number of people active, but no real command other than 'finish off KHAN', with Starlight at this point also pretty quiet.
Anyways! Overall a massive thanks UDCS, High Command members, TRTHNBB members, and all the other cool people who took part.
Whilst I'm on the topic of Nday, this time round I won't be collating a Nday report like I've previously done sorry! - I usually get quite enthused to make these anyway, but as alluded to earlier this Nday wasn't my favourite and I have a lack of time due to study deadlines.

Speaker of Parliament
Vordoslavia, Mjau, Western Arba Fir
Western Arba Fir, could you explain how and what powers a DPM that served 6 terms in a row could take from PMs. Im all for term limits, but Id just like some extended reasoning.
America The Greater, Vordoslavia, Western Arba Fir
map.....
Vordoslavia
Does the bill mention 6 terms?
Vordoslavia, The Kaverian
I believe that if a DPM serves a while he could be more popular than the PM therefore he could really have more power
Vordoslavia, The Kaverian
No he is using it as an example
Vordoslavia, The Kaverian
This is a point that I very much agree with - I feel the bill isn't clear about how extended terms specifically would allow the DPM to take power from the PM
Vordoslavia, The Kaverian
Well think of this this way who do you think would be more popular a DPM who has served 6 terms or a PM who has just started therefore the people would listen to the DPM more than the PM and the DPM would mainly hold the power
Vordoslavia
Popularity doesn't influence specific powers in the Constitution, and you haven't outlined a clear pathway for this kind of power-grab to take place -- also, why wouldn't this popular DPM just run for PM?
Western Arba Fir
He is an idiot lol

Exactly, on one hand, I like term limits, but at the same time it seems unnecessary in this case or at least no good reason has been presented to me

Referring to the hypothetical DPM, not ATG

Jesus ATG go touch some grass :P
America The Greater, Puttt, Mjau
ATG has written minus 14 bills :D
Also, I've written more bills i assume this is active legislation?
America The Greater
If you Dm me on discord (or tg i guess) we can talk about any Minor Officer Positions that you might be able to support in?
America The Greater, Puttt, Vordoslavia
This is based off the data on ATGs bill archive and yes, theyre just active laws
America The Greater
Time to repeal some of ATG's bills huh :D
America The Greater, Puttt, Vordoslavia, Western Arba Fir
Corrected to reflect the repealing of the Speaker of the House Act and NUCLs contribution to one of Yodles laws
