Gerikes
User of Run-on Sentences.
At the meeting hall, a number of issues are passed, some which cause heated debate, others joking laughter. Gerikes took his turn in front of the assembly.
"With land being explored and no standard way to communicate destinations, I propose the idea of landmarks. The idea is so that we may find a language to communicate locations in even far-distant lands with accuracy via agreed-upon naming conventions. However, in order to ensure efficient naming, I propose we establish a formal ruleset for deciding landmarks. It seems to me that to call a Nation-wide vote every time a landmark name proposal is made would be inefficient. However, to accept every proposal would result in chaos. A common medium must be met."
"And so, I propose that rather than agreeing upon placing landmarks at any time, that we use a system that could utilize the separating of our citizen-base to our advantage. The idea is this:"
"At most once per term, if the citizens of a city feel like a landmark near the city should be named, then they contact the Deputy Governor. The Deputy Governor is then in charge of taking an informal, city-wide poll that, if passed, will officially name the landmark. All landmarks would be collected and placed on a map of the area with the name and the year established by the Information Office for public display."
"The idea is in its infancy, and I'm looking for how we might improve it or completely change it for the better."
With that, Gerikes stepped down, and as was the case with other meeting-hall ideas, others stepped forward with their ideas.
