Office of the Judiciary - Term 5

[disorganizer]

Propably thats the reason why nobody pi's this issue any more... ;-)
But what would happen if a pi was started directly before the end of the game? What could be the measures? Shaitan?

 

[Shaitan]

Not much of anything as the game would be over before completion of the PI. It doesn't really matter if somebody is impeached when their position is over anyway. What would it matter to issue a warning when there's no chance for a repeat offense?

The only way an end of term investigation would matter would be if we carried over the "criminal records" of the players to the next game.

Maybe not. Maybe they just think we had enough PIs? Or maybe some ppl decline every request brought up to them to start a PI for someone else? Who knows.

At least it terms of term 4 and 5, the PI request I have been presented is yours dis in term 4 where you asked for an investigation of the Kashmir province:

I herewith request judical investigation on the following issue:

Toasty requested build-queues in the turn-thread, though he:
a) was not in the position to do so (no governor yet)
b) did not base his post on any decission of citizenry nor did even talk back to the cities belonging to his province
c) ignored the proposals of the national park project by requesting a research lab

I then asked you to confirm that you were calling for a Public Investigation of Toasty, to which I received no response from you.

If I have missed other calls for PI's please do bring them to my attention immediately. Having a real world job that distracts me now and again, I may well have missed one. I have never declined a request for a PI though.

Please also remember that a PI requires a person as the target of the investigation, not an issue. Issues are dealt with through reviews.

Actually, I am disappointed in donsig...been on the job six days now and not one PI...jeez! We're running out of time here mister!

The revised Constitution in html has been uploaded here. Changes include COL addition for Parks and COS change for candidate eligibility. Also, formatting has been changed to make it easier to read and it now uses the Civfanatics graphics and background.

Bookmarks have been added to each section so they can be referenced directly. Bookmarks are formated with CON (Constitution), COL (Code of Laws) or COS (Code of Standards), plus a dash, plus the section letter. For example, Constitution article D has a bookmark of CON-D. The link for that section would look like this:

Maybe that was the reason for all of the PIs in Term 3.

I might as well face it. Chieftess is the Ronald Reagan and I'm the Richard Nixon of Phoenatica.

I am not a crook!

Well, I posted instructions in the turn chat thread and no one complained. I'm getting too old for controversy I guess. Did you all notice how much I aged during term three? I've got grey hairs now!

 

[disorganizer]

@Bill:
just wait. donsig will hopefully also be at the next game, so you will have many chances for pi's ;-)
@donig:
just take over the chat ;-) i would propose just starting 5 minutes before ct would start so you would have done a turn and no one can undo it...
@all
maybe we really should carry over criminal records for the game after the one where they occured ;-)

 

[disorganizer]

hmmm. is inciting someone to do a crime sueable in our game?

 

[Chieftess]

Conspirarcy... hmmm...

@Donsig

Richard Nixon? But you weren't actually impeached, which probably makes you the Phoenatican version of one Mr William Jefferson Clinton

I ain't that lucky. I've decided that I'm actually more like the Phoenatican Rodney Dangerfield...

Well, actually, Clinton was the only one of the two to actually be impeached. The "trial" that Clinton won in the Senate was made necessary by that actual impeachment.

Nixon was never impeached, nor was a vote held to do so. Obviously his resignation forestalled that event, which would have likely ended in conviction and removal from office.

[Eklektikos]

Well, there goes my credibility!

I'd just like to point out to all that I do research my judicial reviews rather more extensively than my spammy remarks

 

[disorganizer]

a good example why to implement different quorums on different issues ;-)
i believe all our official polls should be open unlimited until minimum of 2 days or quorum reached (whichever comes last).

maybe all officials should receive a pm upon their start in the job stating how to put up official polls... just a idea to prevent polls being invalidated due to lack of knowledge of the rules

Just looking for a second & third opinion from my judicial colleagues here:

If a governor wishes to pre-appoint an acting governor to cover possible future absences from the fora, would that governor need to run an acceptance poll for every instance where the acting gov takes control, or could one acceptance poll remain valid for as long as the governor wishes?

My view is that the one poll should be able to cover the rest of the term if the governor wishes it to.

 

[Shaitan]

I agree. One confirmation poll is all that is required.

Sounds an awful lot like deputy governors. That's borderline treason.
