Verbal filibusters simply don't work on an online forum. Only thing that works is the things we already have in procedure.

Really the whole point of requiring a super majority to proceed to consider is to allow for consensus to built, not just to jam up the system.

It'd inevitably jam up the system because at heart we're all partisan hacks :P.

There is bad history in the Senate with anonymous "event" or "political group" accounts in the Senate.

Painted Gate, Vienna Eliot, the ASPM, etc. have created some of our best roleplays. Not sure what you're on about.

Many of those accounts used extensive god-modding to accomplish their various "best roleplays." I saw what worked and what didn't in Calaverde and ultimately people were more tired of Vienna Eliot than anything else when I finally put a bullet in his damn crime spree. Painted Gate I ran the investigation on and I insisted on knowing who I was playing with in part because the player demonstrated their inexperience with running such an RP and just how frequently it fell into god-modding.

And then there are the many organizations that Werp has made that tend to focus around making working class people look deranged, the numerous "mafia" accounts that did fuck all except clutter up the daily life thread and, lest we forget, the Counterforce Militia.

Anonymous groups that can't be traced to at least a player account are bad for the RP.

Painted Gate was an inexperienced roleplayer? That's no way to talk about our head admin.

He was for that type of RP. He multiple times took control of my police officers, ignored the protocols I established for my officers and forced escapes that relied on the cops bungling. That's in part why I insist on the player account behind the anonymous political group account. If you're an admin doing an admin event, fine, say as much. If not, then make clear who you are or get out.

And I'm done with this conversation. Commencing ignoring this account and any "events" associated there with.

People have always made separate threads for events, since Aurentina, and even when we've had a daily life thread. This is nothing new.
