The Galactic Senate

Published on March 31, 2008 By DSep In Metaverse

Welcome all! The Galactic Senate will be our new meeting room to decide on metaverse matters! This means that this is it's sole function...for now. This may change. This is not a slander thread like the Galactic Council one. There is no tolerance for profanity and swearing.
The leader of the senate will be voted upon once every 3 weeks! When the leader's term is up, he may be elected as many times as the voters want...unlimited! You may vote for yourself!
If the leader of the Senate does something inappropriate on this thread, then he will be immediately ousted and his throat will be slit with a razor. Then we'll rip his heart out and "The Legions of Darkness" (The Raiders special forces) will feast on it!
To be elected, one must have at least 12 the most votes! You may only vote for 1 person each ELECTION!
All issues must be brought to attention by either a senator or overlord of an empire! A citizen may bring up an issue, but it will not be voted on until a senator or overlord formally proposes it. To be considered a senator or overlord, you must have at least one other person in your empire besides yourself and you must have senator status!
That's all there is to say....now let's get started!

AMENDMENTS:
1. Anyone who is a senator in more than 1 empire counts as 2 votes but NOT 2 people! If you wish to be counted as a "Super" Senator, you must send me a PM telling me which empires you're a senator in.
2. The leader of the 1st place empire counts as 3 votes!
3. Free beer for all in attendance, but not to excess.
4. To pass anything, it must receive at least 12 6 votes, but if the nos outweigh the yeses, then it does not get passed.

Current First Place Empire Leader: Kzinti Patriarch

CURRENT SENATE LEADER: DSep

NEXT ELECTION: Whenever I decide...but i'm a dictator, so i proably won't.

Actually there is no such thing as true anarchy-that is being one of three definitions:

"Absence of government; a state of lawlessness due to the absence or inefficiency of the supreme power; political disorder."

"A theoretical social state in which there is no governing person or body of persons, but each individual has absolute liberty (without the implication of disorder)."

"Absence or non-recognition of authority and order in any given sphere."

That is because someone or some group, or the collective whole, always steps to take charge. Anarchy has been tied culturally with chaos, but in its most basic form it is the Ultimate Liberation, that is complete freedom. It doesn't necessarily have to be "evil", but the nature of Man unfortunately skews it heavily in that direction.

Actually many opponents of Democracy, especially on a large scale (ie early American Republicanism) feared Democracy as a form of controlled Anarchy that could too easily fall into chaos. In its truest form, Democracy IS Anarchy; just anarchy within a certain set of codes (that is everyone has a voice- "freedom", but the majority voice wins)

I take offense to that! Why would you put cheddar on a perfectly good bratwurst?

Rosie! It's time to pay a visit to DethAdder's screensaver!

So...and I never thought this would happen, but it appears that I will have to run as the conservative candidate in this Galactic Senate, if just to counter all the Pure Evilness of its members. As the Emperor of the Olympian Gods and the Commissioner of the MVL, I think I'm pretty darn qualified (heck, that already gives more qualifications than some of the people a certain President put into positions of power).

As such, my first vote is: Yea-Bratwurst is awesome, cheese or not; so I'm all for that

My second vote: Nay-Everyone should not be allowed to gang up on one person

Who do you want to gang up on? Silver for trying to take evilness away from evil?
And as your fearless leader for the next few days, I vote we all pick on Dave, while eating Bratwurst.

Sentient species taste better...
