That Called the Vlagh

I have requested a Constitutional Convention forum to be set up in this category from administration. Once that has been established we can get to work on restructuring the forum government. Thank you all for your patience.

Can we have a Constitutional Convention forum set up within the West Pacific Government category? Thank you.

The Constitutional Convention will begin shortly. Archsium's outline seems like a good place to start so we will begin with that. I believe you will find that the entirety of the HGA is a subset of my Ministry. Claiming that my appointment, which comes from the Delegate directly, is somehow invalid is a bit much, even for you.

Considering that at least half of the HGA do not wish to see Elegarth replaced as Prime Minister, I have decided, as Minister of Legislative RP, to reject his initial resignation and reinstate him to the position effective immediately. Elegarth is the Prime Minister from this point forward until either the end of his originally elected term or the end of the HGA, whichever is sooner.

This discussion is over. I will be making an announcement shortly.

I think the world is about to end. Everyone get ready.

Then they should have made time to be present within the last five days.

I have sent a message to the Delegate asking her input on my opinions. I would like to await her response before making any decisions. That said, I am not in favor of any further elections for the Prime Minister position, regardless of timescale.

I believe #2 is called the Regional Message Board.

How are we open to NPO influence?The Delegate and Guardians protect TWP. I have known most of them for a very, very long time and know that they are strong willed individuals that would not consider subservience to any other region.

I think the name of the body will be determined through the course of a convention on the subject. Since this is not a bill it should not be treated as such. I support the idea of a full constitutional convention taking place since it is becoming increasingly apparent that certain parties are unhappy with the current government structure. I also agree with Arch regarding the title. Prime Minister implies authority that simply just doesn't exist within the confines of this body.

Are you really so ignorant and out of touch? Just because I oppose you in this election you think that justifies disparaging the entire governmental structure on the NS Gameplay forum? You even include part of your supposed platform as a reason I voted for Elegarth in the complaint there? I like how you are already spreading your incompetence to the rest of NS on our behalf.

I believe it is being suggested that this is a constitution and that the current laws be replaced in entirety.

My main concern with your candidacy is that you don't seem to have a firm grasp of how our system actually works. It would appear that you will win this election, but it may be the case that some will leave the Assembly and form an opposing government or simply go with Arch and try out a new constitutional convention to create something different. Who knows. What I do know is that I am surprised that so many people are voting for someone to uphold the ideals of a system that he doesn't seem to support.

I look forward to your draft.

It's bare, I think. I am all for the abolishment of the current legal structure but will insist on maintaining the Delegate's decision to keep the offsite community and ingame governance separate.

Considering that the Pacific Senate currently consists of the Emperor and two Senators, both of which were old men in the NS world before Milograd was conceived, I sort of doubt he has much influence at present.

Elegarth

I believe Eli was pointing out that this is an incorrect way to look at the position of Prime Minister. To be honest, even if you win this election, as it seems you might, I am not so certain having you take up the role would be in the best interests of the community since you clearly are seeking to undermine the ultimate reason for the role to begin with. The PM can not have an ingame component in TWP because the Delegate has stated that it can not be so. This has been clear from the onset.

Why?

He may have a puppet nation in the region but I am fairly certain he is not a part of the government on any level.

I was about to post a similar question. I believe I know the answer since it has been stated several times that the Prime Minister should be a Guardian within this thread but I would like to know for certain what other role Llamas envisions. I personally see this as the problem with the entire idea of a Prime Minister. It was all well and good to have a Speaker for the Assembly but a PM implies a certain level of regional authority that this offsite community was not ever meant to possess under the current structure, in my opinion.

Unfortunately, I can not speak to that. I was personally on LOA for this entire event and upon my return my associate in The Pacific seems to have immediately begun addressing this issue in Gameplay. It would appear that Feux made some private deal with AMOM about NPO reinstatement which didn't pan out and resulted instead with a senate appointment in the NLO. What I can say definitively, based on my own sources and investigation, is that regardless of AMOM's post, and any dispatch (which I have yet to see), AMOM was not ever reinstated into the Pacific Senate for any moment. He never had access to anything relating to NPO government. As to why this was not addressed, from what I can tell certain parties were contacted privately to disavow this position. But, it seems that the NPO's primary diplomat resigned in protest and the secondary person for that role was busy in Lazarus. If you couple that with the apparent lack of communication internally that seems to have occurred between what the NLO was planning and what was shared with the NPO you get a nice big clusterf*ck such as we have seen here.

No, he was not. He was never reinstated and his statement regarding this was a lie. Also, at least one such player has decided to take up an active role again.

Yes, it would appear that acting against the will of the Emperor has consequences in The Pacific.
