NSG Senate Lobby: Bread, Circuses and Automatic Weapons

[Ainin]

Wait a minute, I thought senators elected the president ICly.

Well, the Presidential Election Procedures Act is one of those weird IC/OOC hybrid bills.

I, and a lot of other people, have always considered the presidential elections to be ICly open to the public.

But that's completely illogical. No nation in the world has public voting for the presidency every two months.

That's why I used med's IC name.

No nation has legislative voting for the presidency every two months either. It's mostly for the OOC good of the RP.

But legislative voting is much more convenient if voting happens this frequently.

Actually it does for this.

I suppose someone should count the votes. I've tried and failed.

I would, but I feel like it's a conflict of interest.

On it.

Thought this was quite fun. Don't agree with the need for spelling reform, it's a stupid idea, but I had a go anyway:

Hè smìld understandingly - muich mòr thaen understandingly. It wos òn of thòs raer smìls with a cualiti of eternul reassurans in it, that ù may cum across fòr òr fìv tìms in lìf. It fàsd--òr sèmed tu fàs--th hòl eternul wuirld fòr an instunt, nd thaen consentràtd òn ù with an iresistable prejudis in ù fàvor. It understùd ù juist as far as ù wantd tu bè understùd, belèvd in ù as ù wùld lìk tu belèv in ùrslf, nd assuird ù that it had presìsly th impreshun of ù that, at ùr beist, ù hòpd tu cunvae.

Five accents in their, all graves, are easy to understand and from there it should be simple to read:
à - Similar to a capital A, or the A in "faced"
è - Again, like a capital E, or the E in "he"
ì - Same idea. A capital I or the I in "five"
ò - Like an "ouh" sound, or the OU in "four"
ù - An "ooh" sound, like the OU in "you"

Apart from that, it's the basic English alphabet. Looking up the posts, I agree homophones don't need different spellings. In my paragraph "then" and "then" are both spelled "thaen" - Though that may be specific to my accent more than phonetic common sense. However, the same could work with "there" and "their" both being spelled "thaer", with "they're" being thrown out as a shortening for "Thà ar".

Thoughts?

Second round prediction at this point if votes are redistributed to the optimum eventuality following expected vote patterns i.e no abstentions is as follows.

Still giggling slightly, an unsightly aftermath of past events for such an otherwise looming figure, Alonso lurked in the corner of the lobby.

After calming down and regaining composure, he paced forward towards you: Yes, that means you. Already his hands were in that great dark trench coat, pulling the side away to reveal an inner full of... Leaflets. Leaflets about the Harmful Side of Effects of Smoking - An ANHS guide to qui- He sighs and quickly screws the top leaflet up, throwing it away with a small glimmer of embarrassment in an otherwise cold face. Now the leaflet is about the elimination of gender boundaries and the path to one true heaven. He motions for you to take one.
