Term 1 President : The Great Experiment Begins

[DaveShack]

CivGeneral is appointed to lead the Chat Office.

Ravensfire is appointed to lead the Information Office.

Donsig has expressed an interest in serving in the Information Office in addition to being Vice President.

Others who wish to join an office may contact that office via posting in its thread.

 

[ravensfire]

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Donsig as Vice President.

To all the candidates, thank you very much for your interest in this position. It was a very difficult choice, I started writing this post several different times, and had written in each of the candidates at one point or another.

Congrats to donsig!

You've got a great team assembled, DS - this should be a great term!

This city should be indeed called Camelot, it fits with the luxuries, bonus resources, river and bountiful land and somewhat borealic terrain. It also honors the Cyc awards.

Mr President,
I would like to request that the next chat be postponed until a later time. There is no concensus at this point on where we should settle. There seems to be some concensus on building a warrior and then curragh.

There is also no TCIT or instructions as near as I can tell.

 

[Chieftess]

Please post the turnchat thread, seeing that it's only 12 hours left. (granted, those of us on the east coast might find it hard to post while sleeping..)

*Remembers Disorganizer wanting to jump on the oppurtunity to create a PI just because I didn't post a turnchat thread while I was sleeping.

 

[DaveShack]

The initial chat is postponed until Monday 3/7, 3pm PST (5PM EST, 10PM GMT) to allow suffficient time for planning.

 

[Ginger_Ale]

Yes! Thank you - I woke up early today to put up my tcit threads - two days wasn't really enough. And I still can make Monday's turnchat.

 

[Chieftess]

And I'll be coming home from work during Monday's chat.

Well, Donsig is not eligible for Vice President, not having signed in the citizen thread before 1 March. The Judiciary should follow the law and ask for a registered citizen to be nominated by the President (registered prior to March 1. ) and respect the law and the citizen registry list.

 

[Chieftess]

hmm, I thought anyone could be nominated as long as they signed up. I don't think there should be a cut-off date. What about those who join mid-term? Are they going to be forced to wait a whole term? If only those registered before March 1st can be nominated, then that's pretty restrictive.

 

[Donovan Zoi]

With no laws in place, we should let it slide this time. But I see Provo's point because ideally the President should have named a VP on March 1st. I think if someone is appointed to fill a mid-term vacancy, then the restriction should not apply as long as the citizen is registered at the time.

 

[Provolution]

DZ I remember you from last game wanting a citizen approval poll for every conceivable contested decision, and to follow the law.

This should definitively be done here as well, unless the Pesident picks a registered citizen prior to 1 March. I suggest this to be handed in for Judicial review, all the other registered and rejected Vice Presidential candidates that have been rejected to benotified by public announcement and PMs and to have an open Judicial Review on the Matter. DZ, you learnt me to protect citizen rights and the rules, and even though you are a close PBEM buddy to the nominated VP as your signature suggests, I firmyl believe in the equality of the Law.

I therefore deem the nominated VP as illegtimate by the Constitution and Appoinment Laws and call for a new appointment.

I also cannot see the nominated VP register yet, at all.

 

[Dominik]

Now I'm not the most familiar with laws, but if the law says that the VP must have signed up before March 1st and the VP in question hasn't, then they should not be VP. Otherwise, what's the point for these laws?

 

[Provolution]

Dominik, indeed they do. We need a new VP nomination.

Now I'm not the most familiar with laws, but if the law says that the VP must have signed up before March 1st and the VP in question hasn't, then they should not be VP. Otherwise, what's the point for these laws?

well first off we have no laws saying there is a DP, president, or vice president, or any other position.... These are in the ratifacation process... It is very very hard for me to give a concise opinion, because we have constitution articles lying all over the forum

 

[TimBentley]

I'm not concerned about the time of registration, but I also do not see donsig in the citizen registry.

 

[Provolution]

WEll it is a no-brainer, Donsig did not register at all by the timeof the appointment, so a new appointment needs to be made based on the registry prior to 1. of March.
We need to repsect the election times and due procedure or we will get anarchy.

 

[Black_Hole]

I would suggest someone file a JR over this matter

 

[Ginger_Ale]

What is the point of a JR? Can we not just have donsig sign up in the Citizen Registry and be VP? We don't have to turn this into something more than it is.

 

[Provolution]

Ginger Ale, this is a government simulation, and without that a mere succession game.
Without laws, we wouldhave no Judiciary. I know you are not into legalities and politics Ginger Ale but respect those of us wanting this to be a civilized game.
