2014 Resolution Popularity Contest! Wild Card Round

Postby Omigodtheykilledkenny » Fri Jan 16, 2015 4:02 pm

Alrighty then. You've made your choices. Here they are:

You have seven days to narrow these down to two. They will of course appear in the final round, along with the top two resolutions from the four previous voting rounds. Standard disclaimer on cheating applies: don't do it.

We'll use this thread to nominate resolutions that didn't make it through during the quarter rounds, but which some people may think deserve a second chance.

Any resolution nominated and seconded will be voted on. (This means hopefully there won't be more than ten nominees. It's slim pickin's this year so we'll see how it goes.)

Your choices so far:

FIRST QUARTER:
278: Repeal "Anti-Cyberterrorism Act "
279: Right of Emigration
280: Repeal "International Radio Act"
282: Repeal "Protect War Correspondents"
283: Repeal "Industrial Pollution Control "
285: Assisted Suicide Act
287: Cultural Site Preservation
288: Right to Adequate Sanitation

SECOND QUARTER:
289: Radiological Terrorism
290: Protecting Migratory Animals
291: Sustainable Forest Management
294: Repeal "Multilateral Prosecution Act"
295: Repeal "Oil Tanker Standards Act"

THIRD QUARTER:
296: Prevention of Wildfires
297: Child Welfare in Adoption
298: Reducing Spills and Leaks
299: Legal Competence
301: Ban on Leaded Fuel
303: Debris Prevention

No, we are not a nation of cat people. We're all humans (and a few annoying gnomes) here. The cat's just there because our king is such a genius, he saw that it would be a good military strategy to have a distractingly cute flag, to blind our enemies to (our) victory!
Technological level: FUTURE TECH. We also have MAGICAL TECH, and a lot of the people here still play with MEDIEVAL TECH and PRESENT TECH. We're cool that way.

I nominate Repeal "The Landmine Convention."

(The only other resolution from Q4 that didn't make it is Repeal "The General Patent Charter," but I'll let someone else nominate that one if they want.)


EDIT: And I'll be adding a poll sometime this week, if there aren't any other nominations to discuss.
