Exactly, and we all know that's what he meant.

I have no vested interest in protecting Nihil. I don't know him whatsoever and he's not part of my party or coalition. I just call out an injustice when I see it.

I'm aware how the vernacular term is used. I was referring to the literal meanings that inform it. It doesn't really have any meaning without being informed by the concept of someone suffering the consequences of rape, now does it?

OOC: And Jesus F. Christ, it's a warning in a minigame. I really, really wish that were the only consequence of this fiasco for me. Though I wish you no ill will, at this point I wish you could have a taste of the excruciating pain so you understood what I was talking about. I have appointments today and a million other things to do and they're all going to be done half-assed because of this thing that happened in the place where I come to play. Nihl was harassing me about that, and while I didn't and wouldn't have reported him for that (I've been well trained and anyway I'm much more concerned about the incident itself than Nihl's references to it), I'm not shedding any tears about his little warning either.

Do you know how fast I would trade this pain for a warning in a minigame? Jeez, talk about mountains and molehills.

This has enough sponsors to be added to the queue (wherever the queue is exactly)

Prime Minister and President's Questions Act


Co-Sponsors: Geilinor, Great Nepal, Arglorand, Ainin, Eliasonia, Fulfflood

UNDERSTANDING that many senators may have questions they would like to ask their Prime Minister or President.

REALISING the need that all senators should have the right to question the Prime Minister or President regarding anything government related.

HEREBY;

1. Orders that once a fortnight two separated threads will be created, one for Prime Minister's Questions and one for President's Questions.

2. Orders that the Prime Minister and President must respond to every question asked.

3. Allows the Prime Minister or President to reply with “No Comment” if they do not wish to answer a question.

The National Executive and Legislative Powers Act


Drafted By: Senator Owen Tarniff II and Great Nepal

- May Ratify or Veto Declarations of War created, and passed by the senate;
- Acts as Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces;
- Grant pardons to anyone convicted of either criminal or civil offence,

DEFINES The power and duties of prime minister of commonwealth as follows;
- May Veto one bill passed in the senate unless overruled by president or bill was passed by two third majority;
- May appoint, and remove senators to and from the various ministries established by the Acts of senate or by executive orders issued by prime minister or president;
- Acts as the Highest Level of Law Enforcement in our nation,
- Grant pardon to anyone convicted of crimes equivalent to or lower than derelict.

FOUNDS The Office of Speaker of the Senate, to serve as the head of the Senate of our nation,

DECLARES, speaker of the senate shall be hold power on the following terms;
- There shall be no more than fifteen speaker of the senate at a given time;
- Current speakers of the senate shall be Aeken, Britcan, Denecaep, Great Nepal, Maklohi Vai, Quirina, Regnum Dominae, Slazliyka, and Wolfmanne.
- New speaker of the senate may be appointed at discretion of existing speakers of the senate after internal consultation.
- Speaker of senate may be removed at discretion of existing speakers of the senate after internal consultation.

DEFINES The Powers and Duties of the Speaker of the Senate as Follows;
- Maintains the Queue for Legislation in the Senate Chamber;
- Moderates Debate;
- Keeps the official count when voting;
- Ensure civilized proceedings within the senate;
- Prevent and reduce filibusters

SHOULD The president be impeached from office by the senate or resign, a vote will take place five days following the passage of the Vote of No Confidence or resignation on the same terms as the above. The new president will serve the remainder of the three month term, and elections will be held once again,

DECLARES That a Vote of No Confidence may only be conducted after a motion of fifteen in the senate, and it may only pass with four fifth majority, that is conducted over 48 hours.

The National Executive and Legislative Powers Act has enough support to add into queue. I also move to ensure this skips queue and goes to top of the queue due to obvious changes this would make.

I second that motion.

If you feel like lovin' me, if you've got that notion...

All I did was bring up that it seemed to be an unfair warning, and responded to replies. I even stated I didn't want to make a controversy. Even in our conversation I said it wasn't the place for this.

And I'm not trying to sound unsympathetic, because I have sympathy for anyone who would have to go through that, but what allegedly happened in RL to the people behind the usernames really has no bearing on how the rules are enforced. Nihil nor anyone else never had to know anything about your life in the first place.
