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.

to clarify:

we can only allow people to join the game, if someone who already is playing makes the motion to allow a person in, and the vote passes.

Bladerunner, I am confused. You just initiated a motion to close the roll. However, the motion has been seconded, so it shall be put to a vote.

All in favor say "aye," all opposed say "nay." Should you wish to abstain call &quotresent."

I called it because I wanted to prevent the game from going into a standstill whenever some noew player wanted to join. I figured that if they wanted to join, then we might as well set up channels to allow them to join without interrupting the game. that is why I called for the last two motions.

Mr. Blade, would I assume this makes your vote an "aye?"

Motion to move to committee.

Sorry if this isn't right; I do mock congress for debate, and you can just call out motions on legislation if theres a decent lull in the conversation.

If not, I ask for the floor, and make the same motion.

Maverick, your motion is accepted. If there is a second then all voting on the previous motion shall be stopped, and a vote will be taken on this motion.

I second maverick's motion.

I also vote "aye" on the previous vote (seeing as how I drafted it).
