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.

Now 324 members...that would be 2916 votes!

I vote yes on both proposals, especially since PlayJeff so graciously (how uncharacteristic!) supported my candidacy. "Excess" is a relative term, and is the perception of each being, so I think everone should be happy with that.

Break out the beverages...

Now we're talking, First of all, I agree with Neilo that the MVC is pretty much gone and void. Somewhat replaced by the more functional MVL, which DSap, you should look into joining.
If this is going to have serious issuues, then I would fully support it and maybe put my lighter side on hold for a few moments.

I caught that remark about "DSap!" I am not pleased...Maybe some pie would do you good

maybe i'll join the MVL when TA becomes MV compatible.

P.S. I'm making an automatic amendment...no vote on this one (sorry but it's a must) I'm raising the amount of votes you need for something to get passed to 10 because 5's just stupid because of super senators!

Sorry, I now see you are Dsip

However you do realize that with the other people here, no matter what, it will get passed, cause we are all "super senators"

Ok so this is not a serious endeavor. Back to the taunts then....

If we actually want to accomplish something, there's a framework already in place. It's been mentioned a couple of times recently. The Metaverse Council still has some pull with the Devs. Not a lot, but it's the semi-official channel that remains available to us humble mortals.

Mumblefratz, neilo, TheGreatEmperor and a handful of other select veterans are members. Even if they haven't had a council meeting in a while, it's still a viable way to be heard. That is, until it's eventually dismantled.

This "senate" and the other pseudo "council" are all good and well, but if you have real concerns, remember that there's still a real body of members with at least some pull that can actually get stuff done. They've accomplished real goals and brought our voices to Stardock in an organized and recognized way. If we don't use it, we'll certainly lose it.

I'm interested in participating in the MVC, if it can be brought back from the dead.

First Place Empire Leader: Kzintzi Patriarch

Owwwwwwwwwwwww, looks like there's gonna be a whole lot of bloodshed!

Im all for reigniting the MVC. There needs to be some dust brushed aside for sure, many members of the MVC are either no longer playing or not as interested as they were. I'm sure we could use you in the MVC KP, especially since the MVC has no Kzinti representation it would seem only natural.

What issues or goals had you in mind to address or achieve DSep?

Setting rules for MV empires and for bringing MV issues to light etc.
