Right. I think we are on the same page now...

I'm gonna have to agree with Mike... Maybe I just don't understand. But I don't like the idea of house/individuals just grabbing land. Just walking over and saying "Yeah.. this is mine now." and expecting the Imperial government to just give it to them with no proof it'll get used.

I'll run for it when my reign ends if people want....

Count me in. I think I'd like to give it a shot again. I'm not sure how good I'll do.

I'm not arguing any particular point. I'm just saying, like for gambling, if we remove it, is it still legal? Is it now illegal? Does silence of the law bespeak consent? We have no law barring marriage between two men, thus is it legal? Illegal? I've always assumed it to be legal cause it was never ...

I have absolutely no objections, not that I can do anything if I did. I thank you Mike for compromising with us on this matter.

Welcome to House Mortis! Death shall spare you!

So yeah. I like the avatar...

Did I give it to him or the House?

How bizarre.

Mike.. I can't vote in the Landsraad right now, but I can speak. I am doing so. When my reign ends, I will lose that right. Even if I had no vote, I wouldn't mind a direct voice.

US constitution: Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Does that count as a law stating that something...

Ryan has spoken in this body on several occasions. If I were to have the rank when my reign ends, I too would make much use of it.

Go troll elsewhere.

So did I. Though officially I wasn't around for it.

Yet, you are stripping the Equestrians of their privilege to speak in the Landsraad, shrinking it.

OKey... in some places you argue that the law should only deal with what "IS" (permissible) and not what isn't. Yet you say the gambling section isn't valid cause if it's not listed it should be considered legal. These statements contradict. Does the lawbook assume everything is legal unless stated ...

If they do nothing.. nothing lost. If they bitch about not being able to vote, it gives them something to strive for. I can tell you this, it was my hope to gain a title of rank Equestrian after my reign was over. But if this goes through as is.. what hope do I have of gaining any say in the Landsra...

I'd put it before the Landsraad to set up.

I might line item veto some parts of this. But like Andreas, I'll need to go through it. The parts where the Kaiser is mentioned, I feel should be kept in to help prevent confusion. While the kaiser CAN do everything, mostly, sometimes it needs to be stated to mention what the Landsraad cannot do. S...

This also removed the Equestrian priviledge to speak, but not vote, in the Landsraad. While I wholly support the changes in this bill, I think we should retain the Equestrian right to speak but not vote in the Landsraad. Else there is no real difference between Equestrian and Civitis.

Maybe start with 1 or 2 elected Margraves, to keep things odd, and see how that works out?

I appeases my love of darkness.


I think I can access the forum directory. Sadly, I don't recall the pw, I have it remembered by the system. ...

And here I thought it would be a SMAC reference.

Oh.. Now you've done it. I'm not trying to shoot your ideas down ric. I just think the Lawbook was one of our better achievements. We tried the disorganized act thing, and it caused issue. So we codified into one document. And the problem with the Decreebook is one of levels of authority. I'm sure I...

Why?

Administrators should do only that.. administrate. No decision making. If something must be decided do it by consensus. If it stirs controversy then it obviously is to much. The organizations should be regulation free. It's not that we want free trade, it that we want a common currency and banking s...

That's what breeds my hesitation.

Most of what is in the decreebook can't go in the lawbook, cause it's stuff having to do with the Kaiser.

We used to do the loose acts thing, but that got confusing as to what was active and still in place. The Lawbook was the reform of that system to make it possible to know the law.

Which I do. I haven't been as active as I should have been. I just wish you had come talk to me first. And I mean directly. Not with sorta obscure PMs, but out right ask me a question.


Okey, then what subtle reforms would people like?

Lakhesis could be linked up with some of the old Brookshire lands.
