The page is done, I think?

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Am I moving too slowly? Are we, as a body, reasonably active?
Want to hear from y'all.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Question: is there anyone does not wish that they be PMed when final votes occur, or does not see that as necessary?

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

who is the Dean of the Chamber?

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

When I wake up I am going to PM the other 4 delegates if they plan to introduce any legislation (or swear in, shall they not done that yet).

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

What is going on here?

I PMed everyone in question. I plan on putting all the bills I can put on the floor by midnight (taking account for the fact that it's the midterm election day).
Do you wish to be PMed when they hit the floor?

Bill is on floor only 4 minutes after being introduced. Maybe I've broke a Southern record.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I move to sponsor every Spark498 bill currently on the floor.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I appoint Wulfric as informal Deputy Speaker.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I appoint Wulfric as informal Deputy Speaker.

the role of Deputy Speaker was abolished as part of a rules change.

I can't give you a role that doesn't exist.
I'd be amenable to a rule change that could create a Deputy Speaker position that serves at the pleasure of the Speaker, and changing nothing else though...

Were the rules actually changed or am I just a less appealing Deputy Speaker candidate than Wulfric?

what happened was you becoming GM.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

The Governor also supported the idea of appointing him. Truth be told, you were my first choice but there was this big asterisk that was too much to ignore. And we will saving all your bills.

Did u know that all weekend?

I moved slowly on that because primarily 1) I felt actually appointing an informal deputy required a rule change, and I would not be as good at rewriting the rules to account for that as you would be. I persuaded by the Governor that it was easier to do than I previously thought, and I was given a quasi-modest recommendation (Wulfric can do the job, etc; you wanted to lighten your load, etc) to appoint him.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I move to sponsor every Reactionary bill currently on the floor that my name is not already on. I further move that any Reactionary bill brought to the floor in the future shall be considered to be sponsored by me upon the beginning of its consideration on the floor, unless it has already been sponsored by another representative or is brought up under the "Citizens's Slot".

Thanks.

Well, either me or Wulfric had to do it.
There was a lot of good bills you had in the queue!
