I have had this idea for a while now, namely to have a mock government on AG. On this thread, players will propose, debate, and ultimately vote on resolutions put forth by other members of the "Congress." I need 12 members to start, and the number will be allowed to increase by a 2/3 majority of the current government. I will be the Chair for this government. All actions done in this game shall follow Robert's Rules of Order.

If you wish to play, just call &quotresent." I will close the roll after 12 users sign up, and then proposition of resolutions may commence.

I move that we ban Onion-flavored ice-cream from the marketplace. The taste is horrific and so is the conversation with loved ones afterwards...

Girlfriend: You have awful breath!
You: What?
GF: You stink! What did you eat?
You: I ate ice-cream!
GF: Yeah, right...
You: Honest to god I did!

Mr. endlessrampage73, your motion is out of order. If you would like to propose this thought to the Assembly, it must be in the form of a resolution, which would then be presented here with an explanation.

The floor has been yielded to a different speaker due to inactivity on the part of the recognized person.


Is there a motion?

Mr. Speaker, I move that we end with the registration right now in order to end the need for a tie-breaker.

this is essential because of the possibility that we could get into a deadlock, and you might not be able to get on when needed for its resolution.

...well THAT was fast...


All in favor say "aye." All opposed say "nay." If you would wish to abstain from the vote, just call &quotresent."

The roll is open for one week, or until a 6 member majority is reached.

if there is not a quorum, then i'll have a quorum call, and then those who don't respond will be reminded once, then stricken from the Assembly
