WHAT TO DO? AT and DTC

DeathByTheSword · October 18, 2002, 15:11

ok i think Pande doesnt want his job back so we have a problem for this saturday........MWIA has been AT for the time being (well he said that he would be....he hasnt really done anything

) but will we let him do the job for so long OR shall we do...........something else?

Kassiopeia · October 18, 2002, 15:18

I'm sure MWIA can handle it, the job of DoSE isn't that hard...
(whoo, that'd mean three simultanious tasks. Must be a record or something.)

DeathByTheSword · October 18, 2002, 15:23

yes it is....that why i wanted to ask....he MIGHT grow a terrible EGO

Kassiopeia · October 18, 2002, 15:32

Yeah, with that new girl on top of it. The next thing you know he's running for Commissioner. Then we are all in trouble.

DeathByTheSword · October 18, 2002, 15:38

i have special ass....eh cleaning people on stand by if that happens

Method · October 18, 2002, 15:41

you have a special ass?

DeathByTheSword · October 18, 2002, 15:45

stupid me.......but IF you want to now....yes i have.....i will make a CNN article from this i think.....

Kassiopeia · October 18, 2002, 15:56

Three microcreds say that he's gonna pull the old "ass is a donkey, you perv!" routine with that article.

If Pandemoniak really refuses to sit out his term, I might be willing to already test my poll ideas for the next term. I can't promise I'll have time for everything though. Certainly not if our commissioner would intend to play a turnsession Wednesday and Saturday.

We have a problem:

Quote:

FROM THE CONSTITUTION

Alpha-Talent:
Has the duties of:
*Being a substitute when a goverment official is impeached or has resigned

this would mean MWIA would now become the DTC, since he is the AT. however:

Quote:

FROM THE CONSTITUTION
Office Terms:
All office terms shall last one month. A member can run for a different office at the end of his term, but he cannot change offices during it.

MWIA's change of office from DoSE to AT is illegal. ooh, a juicy matter for the court, methinks

DeathByTheSword · October 18, 2002, 16:37

I now but the when WMIA got the job THIS (referring to DCT) wasnt an issue..... so that wasnt a problem now it it.....WHAT to do? WHY isnt that court up and runnig yet....

@Maniac the wednesday thingy isnt working....so forget it....pity do

Method · October 18, 2002, 16:40

MWIA becoming AT was still unconstitutional

Kassiopeia · October 18, 2002, 16:53

Blah. You seriously think the court thinks it would've been better to run on without an AT at all? Besides, MWIA is *both* AT *and* DoSE. He didn't switch, he's range of office just widened a 'bit'.

MrWhereItsAt · October 18, 2002, 21:30

I can always NOT be AT officially if you want and do the job as a volunteer.

Officialdom and strict rules. I hate them.

Let's say for a moment that TKG, you're perfectly right and my widening of responsibilities is unconstitutional. The reason that rule is there is so flagrant ofice-changing and swapping can't happen. I'm not doing that - we don't HAVE these positions filled anyway. If someone else wants them, go for it. If not, why not let me do it (AT at least)? And as I said above, if you still don't like it, then just call me the bureaucrat running things in the office and deny me the official title.

Besides, I don't yet accept Pande's resignation, as he has far more support here than he might think (me amonst them!). As for AT, what should I have done so far? AFAIK all he does is act as backup and start the election polls. None of these has been needed yet, and I think I can handle this much.

So if there are any serious complaints against me doing the AT's job (credited as AT or not), let me know and find someone else to do it. If not, at least let us keep the game going, hmm?

I COULD do the DTC job also if necessary - but let me know!

Method · October 18, 2002, 21:47

i don't have a problem with you doing the job, just pointing out...

MrWhereItsAt · October 18, 2002, 21:52

I know TKG... sorry. I am in a mad rush and I tend to get testy when that happens.

Mr. President · October 19, 2002, 05:01

Maybe we don't need an Alpha Talent for a while. Indonesia managed without a Vice-President from 1997 to 1999.

Unfortunately, their constitution wasn't that of a Democracy Game.

GeneralTacticus · October 19, 2002, 05:58

Yes, I don't think Indonesia used polls very much under Suharto...

DeathByTheSword · October 19, 2002, 08:07

oh they used polls or right to beat up people

Darkness' Edge · October 19, 2002, 11:49

I can't see why MWIA couldn't fill out the three jobs. AT and DoSE are virtually inactive at this point, so taking over as DoTC wouldn't be too much of a problem.

DeathByTheSword · October 19, 2002, 12:47

I agree with DE about that who is coming to the turnchat tonight?????

DBTS

AdamTG02 · October 19, 2002, 14:28

I'll be there. As a candidate I ought to at least start coming to turnchats.

My suggestion: The Court should rule ASAP on whether it was constitutional for MWIA to become Alpha Talent after Diablero's impeachment. If it wasn't constitutional, then for all intents and purposes, he never was.

If we have no Alpha Talent, then I'd suggest that the Commissioner take over that office's duties, including those of DoTC unless and until that office is filled. If MWIA is in fact Alpha Talent, then no problem -- he can take over DoTC (and DoSE) under the Alpha Talent's power to run an absent Directorate.

I'd also recommend that, as it's uncertain whether or not we have an Alpha Talent, DBTS run the elections, both midterm elections if we have them and end-of-month elections. If the Court rules in MWIA's favor, of course, forget I said anything.

That sound reasonable?

DeathByTheSword · October 19, 2002, 15:33

i dont think the court can do all this in before the turnchat begins and well apointing MWIA was just out necessity and we have no problems with it if someone brings it to the court then i suggest just for keeping this game going to begin that after the turnchat and then decide and i pronouns MWIA as official AT-substitute until the court rules and i am in my right to do so.....

but ok good that you are comming about the turnchat......i was thinking When an director is present quickpolls about subject that matter to him/her are not needed. the director has final say a quickpoll for advice is ok....but it would speed up the progress and well if the directors orders needs to be polled then why do we have directors if the director is not present then ofcourse we quickpoll.....that was all i had to say see you all at the turnchat

Darkness' Edge · October 20, 2002, 01:10

The court isn't in operation yet, therefore he can get away with it.

Now that the calls for a repoll seem to have disappeared, we can get on with starting the court.

Or alternatively, we can keep arguing about the meaning of "expressions of interest", and maybe start the court next game.

Just kidding. I'm still annoyed, but nothing more can be done.

Do you guys learn this stuff in English class, or is it just somehow universal? I'm embarrassed not to know any double entendres in French, let alone some crazy language like Swedish or Finnish.

Maniac · October 21, 2002, 18:04

I'm already preparing the major poll about what the general terraformation should be for each standard tile. Should I wait with posting it or can I already start it since Pandemoniak resigned? DBTS? MWIA?

Meh. I'm an exception really. Just too much Apolyton, and Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett in the original language. I stopped learning English in school when I was eleven. Like TKG said in the chat, I, as frightening as it is, know words most native speakers don't.
