Yes, I have an incredible plot in making sure that Laborites score well on their exams rather than wasting time on Atlasia.

Sheesh. Are you always so paranoid, JTC?

*shrug* I don't get to choose when exams happen, JTC.

[JustinTimeCuber]

Every week it's a new idea to stop us from doing anything.

[NeverAgain]

Well, we've had a week off. Now, it's time to get to work.

I think we should wait to hear from all the actual delegates, Nev.

Hey Blair, maybe instead of making silly attack ads against DFW you can make one against the guy who is trying to vote himself some extra time off duty? Ben, I thought you were elected as a public servant. Given that you can argue on the internet right now, it appears that studying for those big exams ISN'T something that consumes literally every waking hour of your day.

Actually, Governor Never Again expressed his concerns about activity to me in a PM.

Many Atlasians are students. I don't see why we can't accommodate students with a week off during examinations.

Yes, because obviously all schools do it the second week of April.
Oh, they don't?
Let's just call off the whole session then.

Ben, if this is a problem that is affecting you, then I'd suggest taking a leave of absence. It's ludicris to assume that we should end all work because of the possibility that some one has tests on a week that many, including myself, are on spring break.

My "concerns", were more a call to action, than anything else.

Nev, it was your PM and you expressed concerns with the lack of participation in the Chamber of Delegates. This is the end of the term which is a very busy time for students in general. I figured the best way to address Nev's concerns is to give the students here a short recess while their exams are taking place.

Ultimately, this is a game. People have real lives too, Nev, and we should be able to accommodate them.

Atlasia isn't going anywhere. Everything will still be here when we get back.

No, we really shouldn't. My job is not to accommodate people's real life issues, it is to do my job in executing the law, as it is yours to legislate. If people need to take a breather, they can, but not at the expense of this region. I will recall, that during a period of being a "student" with tests, your Chamber was less than helpful, even going so far as to cut off debate hours before it was supposed to. But that is here nor there.

Again, are you keying on someone specific? If so, they should have the mental fortitude to state they actually have something going on and take their own self-initiative.

My PM said nothing of giving a break. Y'all have had now weeks, and we can't pass a single bill because of inactivity and confusion in our rules. Both of those things, I seek to fix in the coming days.

Are you suggesting that it's illegal for the Delegates to take a recess? People are busy right now and that's reflecting in their participation in the Chamber of delegates. An issue I might recall that you just brought up with me.

Again, this is an issue that you brought up, not me. I think a week break is more than reasonable and wouldn't detract from the work of the chamber.

You tell me. I've said nothing about the participation levels in the delegates. You have complained about it. Now, again you're entitled to criticize us, but you are not a delegate.

What is going on to make people less likely to participate in Atlasia? It's the end of the term. This is nothing new. I'm sorry you're unhappy with it, but you are not a delegate. If we want to take a recess then we can do that. We don't need to ask your permission.

[Blair]

Firstly this isn't the place to submit motions; they have to be done in legislation; if you want to create an exam recess period it would have to be done through a bill, or an amendment to the orders.

Besides Ben's motioning for a recess simply has to be challenged by one of the assembly mebers, and then it goes for a vote.

Motioning for a recess isn't the end of process.

[JustinTimeCuber]

Ben, why are you responding to this instead of studying?

[Wisconsin+17]

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Motions for recess do not require legislation, and can be issued by any delegate at any time. Previous motions for recess have been issued in this thread.

Precisely so.

[JustinTimeCuber]

To make it clear, I object to Ben's proposal.

[Wisconsin+17]

Fair enough. Are you calling for a vote now, or shall we continue discussion from the rest of the members? We've heard from you and me. That's two.

I'd like to hear from the others.

[JustinTimeCuber]

I think we should vote because "next week" starts tomorrow.

[fhtagn]

I think it's silly to call for a recess because of studying going on. You're more than welcome to take care of your grades and focus on that. None of us blame you for it. But we're not asking you to be 100% engaged 100% of the time. We all have lives, even I sometimes have some days I don't get on here. But this is why I've been lax about the length of time I've waited on discussion, and why we give so much time to vote on legislation.

[Wisconsin+17]

Understandable. Like I said, Nev brought up the activity issues to me and I thought a break would be helpful in addressing them.

[JustinTimeCuber]

Do we need a new Deputy Speaker?

Also, guys, seriously? We've only gotten through one bill in almost four weeks.

A-F**KING-HEM EVERYONE

[JustinTimeCuber]

Which rules are we operating under? Jbrase hasn't responded to the court case yet.

He mentioned in another thread that he's been having computer issues.

Same rules we've had since the session begun, Cuber.
