OOC: This post follows from this post: viewtopic.php?p=29816046#p29816046. I do not actually have ALS.

With my regrets.

Statement from the Office of Abraham Kamassi

Dear colleagues and constituents,

Effective in three day's time, I will resign all my offices and positions: Member of Parliament, Home Secretary, and Chairperson of the Labour Party.

It is my regret to inform you that I have received a diagnosis of illness, ALS, which will, in time, prevent me from being able to fulfill my duties. At the moment, I do not feel its effects, but over time my condition will deteriorate, and I see it to be the most prudent course of action to resign at the onset.

I trust you all to preserve the dialogue which we have strived to establish, and to work together for a better Elizia.

Abraham Kamassi

Tjilik Beluluk meditates in a convent somewhere in Kentang, silently and somberly reflecting on the scourge of ALS and all the other sufferings of life.

The Licentian Isles' Senator replaces Abe Kamassi as Home Secretary.

by **Britanno 3** » Wed Sep 07, 2016 2:06 pm

How's this for a first draft? I took inspiration from a bill written by Britcan and another one by Costa in Aurentina. This isn't anywhere close to my area of expertise so I'd appreciate feedback.

National Railway Network Act

Oh and thanks to Sarian for the formatting that I stole from him.

Guess I should probably tag this thread then.

Good pick.

Updating thread now.

In lieu of my appointment as Deputy Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I resign as Minister of the Environment and Rural Affairs, effective immediately.

by **Arkolon** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 11:38 am

Atlantica's portfolio now goes under the Social Development Office, who will now be headed by Merizoc's character Ujang Duong, who is themselves ceding their post as Foreign Secretary to Sarian's character Jiang Muhammad.

Will likely try and write a bill in the next couple of days, depending how much of the time I'm sober and not in introductory lectures. May end up being next week.

by **Britanno 3** » Sat Sep 17, 2016 8:22 am

I'm away this weekend, but I have a couple of bills that'll be ready for Monday or Tuesday next week.

Has a prison service been established yet ?? Started writing a bill about establishing one, then didn't realise I hadn't actually checked whether it was needed or not.

An passing man mumbles something about 'fascists' at the sight of the Government building.

I won't be here for the end of voting in the Chamber since I'm a normal person who leads a normal life, so I'll announce OOCly that we're moving a motion of confidence within this week just to solidify our term. Can someone say that on my behalf as soon as voting ends? I'm in a bit of a rush rn

I resign from the post of Public Services Secretary.

OOC: Thanks for having me but I was getting a little bored of being one half of a two-man party and not having much to do other than think about what boring shitty bill I could write next.

The Shadow cabinet imposes the same rules as ours. Interesting choice nonetheless. But you couldn't join a realistic party instead of reinforcing the growing Westernists' subversion that is the Liberal Coalition?

Again with the assertion that it's supposedly impossible for a liberal to get elected in Asia.

Well it wasn't the legislation rule, just the fact that I felt that's all I could do in the RP. And even if it were, I'm just a backbench SLP.

And yeah, the SLP may not be the most realistic thing in the world but it looks fun and I've tried realism and got bored.

Didn't say that. But to have liberals make up what is increasingly looking like a parliamentary majority in a country like Elizia? That's just nonsensical and only makes sense because many new recruits aren't reading the GDoc properly.

Not all players have to have the same ideology of gameplay, Ark. You can try to be as stereotypically Asian as you want, but there are those of use who prefer optimism and idealism over pragmatism.

Let's drop this since no one is going to change their mind.

One has to question why they would join a role play...

"Yes I know this is a Harry Potter roleplay, but gun beats wand. NOT EVERYONE HAS THE SAME IDEOLOGY"
