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.

I'm also on the MVC. Really, it doesn't seem like there are major issues that we need to address at the current time however... and the improvements Stardock has coming down the pipe for TA solve several of the concerns other people had.

My guess is that the MVC will actually have plenty to do in about a year, when the interest in TA is starting to fade and GalCiv II starts to have less of an active following.

Nothing in here seems serious.

I guess we should start campaigning then.

By now, most people will know my platform. If elected, I promise firm leadership with total disregard for those pesky suggestions that seem to clog up the tyranny process.

Campaign funds and bribes will be accepted and hey, you might even get your idea moved to the front of the line if the BCs are good.

Remember...A vote for Motti Khan is a vote for me!

Things have already been started. What is the point of two councils to further the MV. If your serious about these matters then lets get the whole council together and whoever else is interested in being a part of it, like yourself DSep and KP and discuss what goals we wish to achieve.

Sporing races in games and voting on leaders is not being serious.

I agree with you Wyndstar, after the shine of TA has been washed off there might actually be a call for the council to help promote and keep alive the MV. With any luck the MVL will still be going strong but id like to do something like the MVL but with the TA tournaments......

As I understand it, we ARE discussing very serious issues...

....in role-play.

I'm placing my 2 votes for SethPenguin to run this council. For a little green lizard guy he is turning into quite the evil Dictator! Sorry Motti, I was going to vote for you but I figured it would be far more damaging to this council if SethPenguin was elected.

Irrefutable logic.

I second Adrian's nomination of SethPenguin and add my two votes to it!

SethPenguin, the campaign funds I collected so far are yours. Let's see...A peanut, a rock, some pocket lint...Yep. It's all there.

I vote 2 votes for me and 1 vote for MottiKhan....just couldnt quite decide who would be a more diabolical evil dictator, so I'm hedging my bets.

Sentient species taste better...

I made an Empire just for the occasion, coupled with my two senators(if Firebender and Alcadeias are still senators) in the Tyranny, that should make 3 votes.

I nominate... Playjeff! My 3 votes to him, this senate needs a bit more flavour.
