Mideast Assembly Thread

[DC Al Fine]

I nominate Inks for Speaker.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I accept the nomination.

[Anna Komnene]

Hey Inks, are the bills from last session still on the floor or do they need to be re-proposed?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

They will be need to be re-proposed.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I nominate Siren for Speaker.

[Anna Komnene]

I'm honored by the nomination but respectfully decline.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

As 24 hours have now passed, and there is only one nomination on the table, I ask unanimous consent that Inks.LWC be elected Speaker.

[DC Al Fine]

Aye

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I object regarding the motion for unanimous consent and request a one day extension of the deadline, if there is still only one nomination on the table then I would not object to unanimous consent.  This is nothing personal against Speaker Inks, but on principle, I don't like the idea of one person serving as Speaker for 17 terms.  I think I've even mentioned this to him in the past, 17 sessions as Speaker should be enough for any man

In other words: Nay

[Filuwaúrdjan]

So Inks acts like a power grabbing prick in fantasyland as well? Shocking.

NAY

(is 'prick' a parliamentary acceptable word in this here legislative shack these days?)

I strongly urge the Mideast to create a regional park system. This has been accomplished in the Pacific, and is currently being considered in the Midwest and IDS.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

So Inks acts like a power grabbing prick in fantasyland as well? Shocking.

NAY

(is '----' a parliamentary acceptable word in this here legislative shack these days?)

We've done this EVERY nomination where there's only one nominee. I don't ever recall an objection before.

Nominations will remain open until 12:23:32 PM EST tomorrow.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Objection withdrawn, ftr
