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.

As do I. Making a unilateral grab for power is a most evil act. Truly despicable. I change my 2 votes in favor of DSep and encourage others to do the same.

That's what you think! All you need is to ask me for some beer and i'll provide, as it says in the third amendment:

3. Free beer for all in attendance, but not to excess.

As for sporing goody two shoes races, i think all senators would would vote to sanction it!

I propose that this amendment be...uhh...amendended. I propose to strike out "but not to excess" from the amendment and that we change amendment 3 to the following:

3. Free beer for all in attendance, and no issues shall be voted on by any member who is sober.

Only DSep and SethPenguin (the TRUE leader of this Senate with 4 votes) will be allowed to drink Kool-Aide until they are in the midst of an extreme sugar high (as they are too young to indulge in alcohol).

That's pretty cool looking, neilo. I change my 2 votes to PlayJeff45 and encourage everyone else to do the same.

Also, I vote for the proposal that neilo posted. Twice.

(How long does this election last? I need to know how many times I have to change my votes.)

The election started Tuesday, and it's now Thursday....we are all eagerly awaiting the results.

I cant remember who I voted for the last time I voted, so I may as well vote again. It really seems that SethPenguin has built some momentum, so I'll jump on the bandwagon and support him with all 3 of my votes. Long live the lizard-king!

Wait! That'll leave you without any votes! We can't have that!

I change one of my two votes to KzintiPatriarch and nominate AdriansCamaro with my other vote!

(edit: Almost forgot - I encourage others to do the same.

I hear AdriansCamaro is a grass-eating sthondat! I hereby un-nominate him with one of my votes that I had previously cast for Sethpenguin.
