OOC:Shouldn't some body be keeping track of the voting?
IC: May I request a 5 minute delay in voting, I have some thing to ask of my fellow senators!

IC: May I request a 5 minute delay in voting, I have some thing to ask of my fellow senators!

If the vote isn't over, it doesn't matter. We can always go back and count it.

And no, you may not. We do not give special time away for random Senators to go asking questions in the chamber ESPECIALLY when a vote is going on. The lobby is the perfect place for that.

Ok, oh and it wasn't a question, I was going to tell my fellow senators that we have been bombed twice and that both times, a little unit was made to find who did it! Well, that isn't good enough .we should have put a law in place during May when the first attacked happen! But we didn't, so now we need to put down a bill that will keep this form happing!

Okay, I don't know how hard it is for you to understand this, but, by saying "I was going to to tell...", you just said it. Plus, what you said made no sense. Unless you're voting, get out of the chamber. Further comments will be given administrative action.

Sorry for being inactive, how are things going? Any important news?

Well, for one, rules haven't changed about not being able to commenting in the chamber. So....yah.

It's okay. It's just important you realize that. Forgiven and forgotten!

[Yanalia]

Point of order against Costa for slandering several senators.

Upheld, however on a PPUBA offence rather an a SEA one. Costa, you are being given an opportunity to withdraw your remarks.

EDIT: Sneaky ninja

I would like to point out that the remarks have not been withdrawn, and that Costa has posted in the Lobby since then.

He has not, however, posted in the chamber since then, which is the relevant thing.

The removal of a senator is something the admins take very seriously, so I thought it was best to make sure everything was clear cut about the process. In hindsight I could have waited for Ven or Yan, I suppose. Sorry about that.

Why is MV moderating the Senate? He is not the PpT or PoS.

Administrator is an IC position established by the 1A-REA and MV was justified in moderating the chamber by clause 3.4 of the PPUBA.
