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.

Dang! I just read this amendment. I am in two Empires but I am only a Senator in one. So I guess that means I only have 1 vote. OK...then with the 1 vote I NOW have and the 2 votes I USED to have, I cast 3 votes to have PlayJeff become president for a few minutes again!

As a newcomer to this 'senate', I do lawfully declare it to be one of the weirdest democraticly operating bodies to date.

With that statement I elect myself president with um... the backing of the Natinal Rifle Association, which was kind enough to give me this gun.

Oh btw.
Gun > sword

How's the vote going? Do we have a new spokesman yet? I didn't see AdriansCamaro's name up there. I could have sworn I voted for him at least once.

So, to amend my votes, since that'll take care of whatever might have happenned, I switch one of my votes to AdriansCamaro. The other will remain for whom it was cast, unless it changes.

As a senator in the ToE, I'll vote for AdriansCamaro as well. I like it much more than AdriansPacer

HMMMM.... I am pres once again, I now hereby pronounce AdriansCamaro President for the next little while. Nice to see you or see your typed words TGE.
Dsep, you are not in any position to tell us how many votes we are allowed, and since TGE has been away for awhile he gets 4, sorry no rifle association benefits for you.(But only for the next vote, when is it?)

Elected leader of what, the drunken buggers society?

So how is the vote tally going? It's a bit hard to tell at this point because everyone has been so...enthusiastically voting multiple times

Sentient species taste better...

Since PlayJeff has pronounced me President for the next few hours (and with the help of MottiKhan's and DethAdder's votes) I shall have my car converted to reflect my status.
