Well that's not exactly a fair comparison since all major WA threads get archived.

Seriously.

If it weren't for the autoprune I wouldn't mind being in F7. At all.

Which are incomplete.

On the Belmaria terrorist plot thread, the google cache conveniently skipped over page 9. :(

Admittedly not convenient, but it's been pretty reliable so far.

Except for the Belmaria thread... Can you try and get page 9 for me? I had no luck on either Bing or google.

The title was "Liberty Isle NSGS" (I assume you know how to use the intitle: and site: operators) and the URL was forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?t=264381 (make sure to try it with and without f=25, and any other tricks you can think of)

Senät wän Aurentina needs its own thread, something we ALL agree on. Wow. It's been a while since that has happened. But it seems like the losing of our threads is part of our culture now.

Are vote counts always this low now, or do people just not vote on the boring procedural bills?

A little of both. The bigger bills typically get more votes, but not a ton more.

In that case, we definitely need a bit of a revitalization.

For a start, we could just have party leaders start TGing their members about bills again - something which I don't think has really been happening for quite a while.

Yeah, it's when an bill with a controversial ideology behind it come's to the floor that people get interested and TG's are sent out. Also when the heated debate happens.

Umm... the next SIMBEDS category is Safety & Order, for which the list of bills doesn't appear to be in the chamber.

Does this mean we skip to Health?

(the next health omnibus vote will contain the following eight bills:
- Artificial Sunbathing Statute for Influenceable Schoolchildren and Teenagers Acting for the Nonproliferation of Cancerous Emissions
- Nutritional Information and Genetically Modified Organism Labeling Act
- Limiting of Electro-Shock Practices
- Access to Unisex Restrooms Act
- Food Labelling and Allergen Safety Act
- Contraceptives Act
- Treatment of Drug Users Act
)

The bolded ones should be able to provide the controversy we need to stir up activity again.

It might seem a little confusing but the order is the order they are listed in the PpT chamber posts not listed in the bill or the OP. The current order is thus,

Health
International Relations
Orderand safety
Miscellaneous
Business & Finance
Environment & Energy
Domestic Development
Senate Procedures

Ah, okay.

Health has five potentially controversial bills. I'm going to take advantage of this in order to re-energize the Senate. (or so I hope)
