NSG Senate Chamber [NSG Senate]

[Rumostan]

But the vote counter assumes 48 hour vote. I thought we were using 24 hour vote now?

I thought it was 24 hour debate.

But then it gets awkward and I need to shave off all of the votes from the last few hours

[Yanalia]

We have a 24 hour voting period now. 24 hours for debate also, with an option to extend debate by 12 hours.

[Regnum Dominae]

We have a 24 hour voting period now. 24 hours for debate also, with an option to extend debate by 12 hours.

So is voting over then?

It's not like these are close votes anyway...

Has it been 24 hours

I don't know, man, you're the President of the Senate.

I don't know, man, you're the President of the Senate.

Actually, I'm VP.

And it seems that voting started 22 hours ago [link], so there are about 2 hours left.

You're right, I was mixing up "Senate" and "Aurentina".

My appointment of Venaleria is going to need to be confirmed by vote as well.

Can you do the vote in the Lobby (or somewhere) so Chamber business can go on?

[Distruzio]

Noted. I was out of line.

Thank you for your apology. I will take this into account when contacting the admins. However, logistically, as the Senator has still motioned for a censure, we must relay consequences accordingly.

That is perfectly accetable.

[Oneracon]

The Protection of Religious Freedom for Minors Act has enough sponsors to be added to the queue, and I motion that it be added to the Civil Liberties Omnibus.

*admin hat on*

Under Article 4, Clause 1, of the PPUBA, this matter may be considered closed if Distruzio withdraws his statement. The administration, seeing no violently malicious intent in the quote, deems this an appropriate and harmless course of action. Further under the provisions of Article 4, if Distruzio refuses to withdraw, he will receive a warning and then, if still refusing, a five day ban if the censure motion eventually receives 5 sponsors.

[Gothmogs]

If I haven't seconded it then I will do so now (I don't think that I have done).

That's a sixth then. We only need one more.

Motion to add the Animal Protection Force Act to the Environment Act omnibus.

Consider it withdrawn, sir.
