Northeast Assembly Thread II

[sentinel]

I second Cinyc's nomination of himself for Speaker.

I third it, for the record.

[Cincinnatus]

I'd like to remind all candidates, seconded and potential, that the Standing operating procedures of this Assembly are completely different from previous versions.  Keeping this in mind, I think any one of the other four Representatives would excel as Speaker.

In any case, should the newly elected Speaker need assistance regarding proper procedure and law, I think it goes without saying that either the Governor, or myself would gladly help them.

[Cincinnatus]

I suppose we should follow the traditional voting period, even if only one member is actually nominated..

The nomination period is over.  A 48 hour voting period for Speaker will now begin.  The following candidate(s) are officially nominated;

[ ] cinyc

[Cincinnatus]

[X] cinyc

[Deus Naturae]

• cinyc

[Lincoln Republican]

[X] cinyc

[cinyc]

[X] cinyc

[Cincinnatus]

cinyc is elected as Speaker with four votes.

[cinyc]

Thank you, Mr. Lt. Governor.  We will start debate on the Uniform December Election Day Amendment in a separate NE1 thread within the hour. 

Northeast Representatives are encouraged to place their proposed legislation in the proposed legislation thread.  I will generally be taking things up in the order proposed for the NE2 slot.

[Earthling]

I am resigning from the Assembly and leaving Atlasia.

That's too bad.  Thank you for your service in the Assembly!

[Deus Naturae]

That sucks. Good luck with everything, and hopefully you return someday.

[Lincoln Republican]

Best wishes to you Earthling in whatever path you choose to follow.

Can someone explain to me the Canadian aspect of the game? I was under the impression that certain Canadian provinces were part of the Northeast, but now it seems that not only does Canada have a government of its own, but that government is, at the present time, somewhat hostile towards Atlasia. What's the deal here?

[Deus Naturae]

When will the next regular Assembly election take place?

Question for the GM or the SOEA

[Poirot]

There was no merger with Canada. From what I understood at the time, the agreement gave voting rights to Atlasians living in Canadian provinces (each region is matched with some provinces).

[cinyc]

The last session of the Northeast Assembly is now history.  The new session of the Northeast Assembly starts today.  Northeast Representatives elected in the recent election are encouraged to swear in using the official swear-in thread on in the Atlas Fantasy Government forum. 

I trust our new Governor will name his Lieutenant Governor shortly and we will then commence electing a new Speaker.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

I trust our new Governor will name his Lieutenant Governor shortly

It'd better be someone who will update the wiki this time.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

Given that Cincinnatus likely won't be with the Assembly for much of this session, I'm announcing a bit of a shake-up.

I'm appointing Deus Naturae to the Lieutenant Governorship.

[Deus Naturae]

Let the session begin!

Seeing as how all Representatives have sworn in, I will now open a 24-hour nominations period for Speaker of the Assembly. As Lieutenant Governor, I am ineligible for nomination. I'll close the period earlier if a consensus is reached quickly, which I expect it will be.

[Deus Naturae]

I nominate Cinyc for Speaker.

[Cincinnatus]

I nominate Cinyc for Speaker.
