Westwind Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I think we should leave details, debates and discussions to a new Regional Assembly rather than have a constitutional convention. The idea of having yet-another-constitutional-convention hurts my brain. 2012 Charter of The West Pacific We the gathered nation of the NationStates region of The West Pacific, in order to provide understanding and a basic structural framework, hereby establish this Charter. I. The World Assembly Delegate of The West Pacific is the Chief Executive of the region. II. The Regional Assembly consists of all nations the reside in The West Pacific that wish to participate on the offsite forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big-G of Neandertron Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 How many of them have we been through Big-G? Three? Four? I was also a delegate of like three other regions so at this point I have no idea how many constitutions I have conventioned... convened? But yeah flexible and simple is good, I like the idea of letting everyone just debate it in a regional assembly sort of set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolheath Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 starting with anassembly at first makes sense to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkdaddy Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 You know we had an Assembly. It did not do much. I kinda favor a more radical approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedy Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Constitution Regional Assembly - Internal Legislation/WA discussion Town Hall (can we lock the Mayor in?) Roleplay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedy Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Rather than a constitution, I would prefer an ad hoc arrangement to deal with situations as they arise. This arrangement (call it what you will) would involve the Delegate in charge of a pyramid organization of for example guardians, followed by a House of Lords or just members with various responsibilities or none. All decisions and discussions of various matters would be saved and used as a reference source for future actions or judgements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 *nods* An Ad Hoc arrangement works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Anarchy in Teh WP!! structure is meaningless chaos is all *wanders off looking for the bong* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAO Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 *chuckles* What Eli doesn't realize is that he never was given a bong ... it was simply a long curly straw set into a barrel of vodka and, to produce 'smoke', a little dry ice chunk was floated on the top. The anarchy stuff is real though: Eli is an ardent anarchist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 yeah never was much on the smoking, least not for thirty years now vodka is another thing, do like me some v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Vodka is great for cleaning things. Anarchy is great though. Both All Good People and Westwind are anarchy. I continue to be surprised how long I've been able to main them that way, even with answering new issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yy4u Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Good grief....anarchy It has come to this has it? LoL Actually, an anarchy does make sense for the structure that TWP has been slowly evolving to. Is Tweedy proposing a court? Judges? Jurors? Whatever the final destiny for all this will be, there still has to be a standard of behavior defined(loosely or specifically) to base decisions on. Anarchy will redifine the delegate, will it not? Will this be too far removed from what the game may define it as? Does this matter? Antimatter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Antimatter. The Delegate is defined by game mechanics regardless of what else we do ..... or don't do As it stands (or sits) now, IMO, the structure is simply: The Delegate The Guardians The Mayor Toss in an Assembly/Committee-of-The-Whole/Courtyard for everyone that wants to participate, and see where it all takes us.

Yy4u Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 A younger nation would be ideal for that. The older players are needed at home for the moment. You, Westwind may have candidates in mind for such an entity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I can start working on that. I can be an Ambassador myself to those regions I already frequent. Others should be able to do the same without it being a burden on their time. But I'll need someone to help write updates for our Embassies or I'll get overloaded They don't need to be epic, just enough to let other regions know we're alive and kicking periodically.
