[NSG Senate] Lobby-ing a Scimitar

[The New World Oceania]

This may come as a shock but the overwhelming majority of people aren't as sensitive - yet surprisingly horrible - as you are.

You misspelled "nasty woman."

Coul someone explain to me what we do here...i am really confused

Well, the main purpose of the Senate is to roleplay as legislators of a made up nation. In this iteration, we're Senators for the nation of Elizia. Right now we're voting on bills like we do most weekends. Other than voting and discussing legislation, many members also write their own bills and try to get it passed by collecting co-sponsors for it and then attempting to get it through the Senate.

There are two coalitions, the forward-thinking Liberal Coalition and the backwards National Coalition. The LC is made up of the Liberal Democrats and the Social Liberal Party (my party) while the NC is made up of the Socialist Equality Party, the Elizian National Congress, Elizia First, and the Elizian Communist Party. There is also the Progressive Movement, which is part of neither party.

We recently overthrew the NC government in a no confidence vote, but the LC was, unfortunately, unable to get its own nominee elected as President and a new NC government leads the country. At the same time, members of the RP roleplayed their own re-elections. While most of us won re-election, a couple roleplayed their character's defeat and created new characters.

Is there anything else you'd like to know?

Just as a quick not, the ENC are not a member party of the National Coalition, we're just in government with them.

PtH is in the National Coalition and I'm pretty sure that while the Progressive Movement isn't a member of the NC, I think they support the NC.

How would i go about posting a bill?

How would i go about posting a bill?

Hmm. Well, first, I'd recommend visiting the Bill Depository thread. It has a list of all the bills the Senate has already passed or failed to pass (although, the list is unfortunately not up-to-date). After that, the Coffee Shop is where you'll want to go next. That's basically the workshop thread where members write and advertise their bills, ask for constructive criticism, and seek the five co-sponsors required to post said bill in the Bill Repository thread. You can use the WIP bills already in the Coffee Shop thread as a sort of outline for whatever bills you want to write. You can also, if you decide to join a party, post your bill in the party's thread and ask for advice, feedback, and co-sponsors. Freyhill's formatting here is pretty exemplary.

After that, the Speaker will eventually put up a set of bills (usually four per week) at the beginning of the week in the Chamber thread. Each bill has a designated day in which we discuss it and the authors and co-sponsors defend their bill and answer questions members may have about it. Then, on Saturday, the Speaker will initiate a 48-hour period of voting on the bills for that week. For example, here's what we're voting on right now.

Of course, authoring legistation and voting on bills aren't the only things we do here. You can RP with us in the Daily Life in Elizia thread. There you can roleplay as your Senator, a journalist, or a random citizen. You can roleplay as almost anyone who isn't in an important political, legal, or law enforcement position. You can also create your own character(s), location(s), and organization(s) in the Yellow Pages thread if you so desire. So long as it's within reason, of course.

After being presented with new evidence, we have become aware of the fact that the player behind Nariterrr is the same as the player behind Skyviolia, and has been both continuing to puppetwank as well as evade the ban we previously gave them for said puppetwank. Thus, the player behind these accounts has been given an indefinite ban, which we will further evaluate in 8 weeks from this post.

Hopefully now people will start taking me seriously when I call, once again, for account verification.

[The Sarian]

Before this gets out of hand, can we have some action of Belmaria threatening to dox someone?

19:49 <Belmaria> Jeck wised up and masked his IP.
19:49 <Belmaria> I know you use IPv6 though, and I already have a copy
19:49 <+Ike> What, you gonna dox him or something lol
19:49 <Belmaria> You've fucked with the wrong fucking person

[Lykens]

Belmaria is threatening to Doxx or otherwise cause harm to my good friend Jeck, I demand immediate Admin action on this hypocritical and cowardly action.

12:49:21 PM <Belmaria> Jeck wised up and masked his IP.
12:49:30 PM <Belmaria> I know you use IPv6 though, and I already have a copy
12:49:35 PM <Belmaria> You've fucked with the wrong fucking person

You have no idea what doxing even is. Jeck has hijacked the IRC, and this is your primary concern.

Tell your good friend Jeck to stop hijacking the IRC channel and muting/kicking/banning people for fun.

I believe the term is hijecked.

I believe your bullshit needs to come to an end.

Edit: Also, I want to point out to Sarian and Lykens that Jeck already banned me from the IRC channel that he now effectively owns. I don't think forum admins should get involved, particularly when the most sinister thing I would have done was DOS him for a couple of hours. (Hint: You can't dox someone just using their IP address).

[Tumbra]

Can we start voting on the proposals that have gotten the requisite amount of seconds yet?

[Ainin]

As an OOC comment on the bill currently being debated, requiring the president to answer well over twenty questions during PMQs is really absurd and requires an incredible time commitment that this RP has never sought from a head of state or government.

Can someone please explain the queue system and where the rules on it are enumerated?

[Roosevetania]

Can someone please explain the queue system and where the rules on it are enumerated?

You propose a bill in the Coffee Shop, and once it has five sponsors it's put on the order paper.

First it's put in the Bill Depository and then it's put in the Order Paper.
