I was never removed from the voter rolls in Atlasia, and therefore never removed from my role as Registrar General, because there was nobody else functioning as or appointed to the role of Registrar General who could determine the eligibility of my registration status.
Additionally, no moderator ever confirmed the banishment
in Atlasia, a process I as Registrar General have always required to be done within the confines of the FE boards in order to deregister a citizen - a primary example being sawx
[1][2] - based on my interpretation of the
De-registration of Banned Members Act, which says that a forum moderator must confirm the banishment (in Atlasia). The Fantasyland Senate doesn't have the authority to dictate to the forum at-large whether or how policies enacted in-game must be enforced, so it only makes sense that events that occur outside of this domain are not recognized without in-game acknowledgement.
To interpret this any other way would ignore the reality of precedent, namely that there have been many different instances of banned voters over the course of several years who have remained on the voter rolls in Atlasia because their banishments were not reported to the Registrar General via the FE boards. Voters are not automatically removed from the game by virtue of being banned if no announcement is made on this board, and they sure as hell are not if the RG does not recognize it. This is how it has worked for years.
Automatic removal from the rolls is not specified in this act, meaning that the Registrar General must act in accordance in order to validate it, or in cases where the de-registration might be disputed, a relevant court case must be filed to determine eligibility.
This case might have merit in any other circumstance, but not in this one.
I am the Registrar General; I and I alone have authority in determining who is a valid and registered citizen of Atlasia and who is not based on the updates provided by my office to the Atlasian public, presumably unless otherwise ruled via the courts. No valid updates or changes in registration could be made with the authority of the Census Bureau during the period that's outlined as meriting this case, and without a component for automatic removal, the de-registration in question never occurred.
As RG, I declare that the registration in question was and has remained consistently valid since January 24, 2014. The plantiff contests the validity of such registration - his opinion is not fact - and as such, he or someone else should file the appropriate case and a verdict should be rendered by the court
before the current case even be considered, if not outright dismissal of both potential claims.
As such, I request that this case be dismissed and if the plantiff and/or court finds it applicable, a new case can be filed/granted certiorari contesting the validity of the registration in question, which I declare to be valid, consistent and never subject to de-registration.
