NSG Senate Chamber: It's Not Business, It's Personal

The NSG Senate
The Worst State of a Republic

〉 An Introduction
_________________________________________________________________________

Welcome to the NSG Senate. This is democracy at its worst.

In brief, we are a character-driven and dynamic government simulation roleplay where you will be a politician in the fictional Freezing Cold nation of Dagmar, where your actions and the actions of your fellow senators will shape the present and the future of the country, for the better or the worse. Will you choose to be a good and trustworthy representative or will you rise to power through backhanded maneuvers and shady deals? Will you be a crossbencher? A minister? Even a general?

Founded by Denecaep and maintained by chief admin (OP) Maklohi Vai and co-admins (co-OPs) Ainin, Malgrave, Britanno 2, and Zurkerx. Our roleplay has existed in several iterations for well over a year, and we are the non-NS political RP.

Where do I get started? 〈
_________________________________________________________________________

First off, there's the Senate Lobby, which is our OOC thread, where we discuss about everything related to the roleplay, and sometimes even things that aren't. When needed, it also doubles as a thread where we can roleplay character interactions and other events that are RPed to occur in the legislative building's lobby. Then, there's the Coffee Shop where we propose bills for peer scrutiny and have lively debates on them. The third and arguably most important thread is the Senate Chamber, the one you are currently in, where we debate bills right before they come to a vote, and cast our ballots to decide whether a bill passes or fails. And last but not least, Daily Life in Dagmar, where all roleplay that does not happen in the legislative building goes, whether it be a bus ride, a television broadcast or a Pagan Revolt.

"Given Robert's Rules Association has not translated the book into any other languages, it'd be terribly inappropriate for the assembly to adopt parliamentary procedure which some of our citizens may be unable to understand. As such I move to postpone the member's motion indefinitely, only to be revisited should an appropriate translation of the book be made available to the public".

"Quite an impressive feat considering the book is 816 pages long; by my estimate that is over a page per minute. But still that isn't Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised unless the Rules Association itself published the translation - at best is a facsimile from a century old edition which is in public domain, at worse it requires a legal team specializing in international copyright law to look through your contract with the association to ensure your translation can be publicised and used in parliament"

Please stop your bullshit. We all speak English and we're going to publish our bills in English. We don't even have an official or real language, so just drop it.
