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.

Have you tried inviting anyone to join your empire? Maybe you should try doing some kind of recruiting campaign.

I am.

Since FB and SP are tied for 1st place I think they should be forced to fight to the death for leadership.

I call for a recount.

And whoever dies first...wins!!

And I know I can't win under those conditions.

Use the Fire FB, Use the Fire.

Or you could use a coiler 890mm Lancer Rifle and melt SP where he stands.

Just to let you know what I plan to do if I become the senate leader.

As far as I know, the only ways some of the more vocal empires compete with each other are through the metaverse(+altmeta) and role-playing. The former is too slow and latter is, for lack of a better word, indecisive.

The alternative is an idea put forward by Nequa. Credit goes to him.
A somewhat-MVL based competition between EMPIRES instead of teams, administered by the senate.
This is what I propose,

-None of the rules base the MVL has. Any and all disputes to be handled by the senate leader(believe me, this will nitigate almost all of the time commitment)so you better elect a fair minded leader(not a requirement though, evil is better... you can bribe them

).

-A "round" lasts 1 week, the competition lasts 3 weeks(the senate leader's term). Map sizes are tiny or small, random settings.
At the end of the competition, the scores are tallied and winner declared. Wash, rinse, repeat.

-None of the individual points(it gives larger and more experianced empires the advantage). Only empire averages. The more players you have, the higher the divider.
But the empire must have 3 or more players in the "team" to compete(otherwise, the divident goes too low).

Well, that's it.

genious! That also means that each empire can only appoint 5 senators (maybe a few more)! otherwise anyone can vote and it really should only be the top guys!

so wait, now nequa has 4 votes?
