Well, I submitted my app. Do I just vote on laws now and do whatever is sensible (or otherwise?) ?

Sensible or otherwise is an excellent way to describe what you can do, yes. No laws are at vote at the moment because we're trying to confirm judicial nominees (I think). We've also just had a massive natural disaster; follow the link posted just at the end of the previous page.

What's this? A merger?

Ah, how nice - a natural disaster as well as a political restructure.

"Fortunately" for me, I have to be stuck on a sofa for two days to a week irl so I get to join properly when things quiet down. :clap:

You know what, if we're now in a place where someone can't go on holiday for a week without Merizoc being a dick then I'm out. Enjoy yourselves.

Yeah, impeachment is very clearly an overreaction, but it's an IC overreaction.

Sorry, but we waited long enough. No senior CU figures were doing anything, people were talking about the RP being dead, and we had a natural disaster that needed to be solved. I'm not being a dick, I'm trying to keep Fernaõ running.

Everything is going freaking insane right now. We have people saying the RP's dead, a natural disaster, sudden impeachment ( :eyebrow:

), Sarian leaving (

), some new neoliberal-communist party ( :eyebrow:

) . . . God.

Boy, does it seem like it. I come back to NS under a fresh new nation and it's almost like the apocalypse broke out in NSG. The senate has gotten smaller and politics has fresh new faces, no one I truly recognize from back a year or so ago.

Yeah, I joined during Elizia, and I was looking through some old Aurentina and Calaverde threads. I saw that some parties had over one hundred members and I was like DANG! I can't imagine the Senate being that big.

The 10 day election period begins now, details below.

The Constitution says a few things about elections.

Article 126 says the following:

Article CXXVI - Election of the President
The President shall be elected in a two round first-past-the-post system held over the course of ten days.
Each round of voting shall last three (3) days, with a two (2) day period in between the rounds, and a two (2) day period before the first round to allow for registration of presidential tickets.
Presidential tickets must register with the Electoral Commission prior to the first round of voting to be included on the ballot.
During the first round of voting, voters shall vote for one ticket, with the two tickets who receive the most votes advancing to the second round. Voters will again vote for one ticket, with the recipient of the most votes being elected President.
Senatorial elections during Presidential elections shall coincide with the first round of voting.
Voters may write in candidates.

We have the following schedule, starting right now.

July 12: Candidate registration opens. Register yourself by stating your candidacy in the Lobby, including whether you have the support of a party. You must state whether you have a running mate as well.
July 14: Candidate registration closes. First round of voting opens. There will be a separate thread for this.
July 17: First round of voting closes. Campaigning period begins.
July 19: Campaigning period ends. Second round of voting opens. There will be a new thread for this.
July 22: Second round of voting closes. We have a President.

Next we'll see cats and dogs living together.

I am just going to gently bow out of this RP b/c I don't really have the time to continue on as actively as I would like.

Well understood. Hopefully we see you again in not too long.

The MNP is open to any support/confidence deal/alliance that might be proposed with any other parties.

Goodbye Malgrave. It was an honour to run against you and serve alongside you.

Couldn't afford a website this time, but Vienna's campaign will power through anyway.

Knock it off. We don't need to traipse into political nicknaming.

Thank you.

I, Beto Goncalves, declare my candidacy for President, with Julie Shah (Electrum/Coconut Isle) as my running mate.
