Dukes/Margraves get 10 votes. Barons/Thanes can speak. Anyone else is barred. The Kaiser, being above Patrician can speak, but isn't granted any votes. Votes can be disseminated to subordinate nobles as with the old system.

I agree with this amendment and move for a vote.

I'm happy with this.

If you wish to register your participation in the vote, but not have it counted towards neither Aye nor Nay, you may vote PRESENT (kind of like abstain).

NAY -
PRESENT -

[Malliki Tosha]

I vote Aye.

[Andreas the Wise]

AYE

[Daniel Farewell]

The House of Kalir casts "Aye".

[Kaiser Mors VI]

It pleases me to see this passed through the Landsraad. I'm glad we could get some new procedures for a new system written.

[Malliki Tosha]

I ask unanimous consent to close the vote early.

[Kaiser Mors VI]

Is that necessary?

[Malliki Tosha]

The rules mandate four days. That period expires soon.

[Kaiser Mors VI]

Fair enough. I thought we had a rule for 4 days or when a majority is reached, or something like that.

[Kaiser Mors VI]

As Acting Praetor I declare this passed. Yay us!
