Just to let you know, Hyzhenhok:
Von Hapsburg was the last party chairman of the ENP's predecessor, and was considered borderline moderate, so he feels that the party line is not always completely right. He and Talbott were basically the party in its latter years, and thus are ambivalent on the new leadership.

By the way, the meeting with the President and the soldier is already over.
And if it weren't...the door would have been locked.

Okay, I've got the code inserted.
Craig, unclebrian, I realise the voting on these amendments is somewhat whacked, and Mycroft is being somewhat stupid about the whole thing, but he has started off this way and doesn't want to admit he could be more clear. I will conduct future votes in a more normal fashion, I assure you.

Just saw your post in the voting thread. That works for me, voting for two ammendments concurrently makes sense.
Mycroft was suddenly thrust into the speakership, so some settling-in process is expected. When you or someone else does something out of order, you can expect someone to say "Point of order" and explain why it seems out of order. You can respond by making a ruling accepting that point of order, or you can say that you don't, and perhaps why not, from a rules perspective, not a political one. If the person who brought up a point of order isn't happy with the ruling, then he can shout "division". If that is seconded, then you have to take an immediate vote on the matter. I realize this is cumbersome on-line, so it would be better to accept most points of order, as J-L had M-L do when others objected to him throwing Colin Leary out of the chamber, if they have a real basis in Parliamentary procedure. Your explanation in the voting thread is a plausible response, so Woody won't call for a division now, but he wants to wait and see how the Colin Leary amendment fares before voting on the Sykes amendment, i.e. he would vote no on Sykes if Leary passed, but yes if it failed, so if would be helpful if the deadline for voting on Leary's amendment was a day earlier than on the Sykes amendment.J.

I've decided I don't like this Forbes character much. I believe it's time to bring back the always forgotten, always misspelled Kazimierz Reczynski!
Hajji Giray I said:Would it help if I constantly spelled it Forbse? Or Frobes?
Too late, he's already on his private plane out of the country. He's going to the Bermuda Triangle for a few years...
Oh and I might not have Reczynski return right now or anytime soon, just resigning Forbes for now.
This is not an official mod ruling, I just want to write something in color for once, but really you should have a better reason for ditching a character than just you don't like him anymore. Imagine if, in the next week, Amric, unclebryan, and jcolson all decided they wanted new characters, or in ub's case to go back to his old one - then things would get just plain ludicrous. I spose it's too late, but in the future PM the events guru and ask for your character to be blown up.Sterkarm said:
Otherwise, if after a month or so of KR you get tired and want Forbes back, I will personally scream very loudly thereby scaring the bejeezus out of my cat.And you wouldn't want that happening!

If the crytic hint in the St. Esprit thread means they are considering even closer ties with France, then Loic might need to move to Tilapia.
We have a good idea what the Tilapian budget looks like:
New ships for navy: 20%
Art for her majesty: 44%
Security/spy forces: 35%
All other departments: 1%
Keeping New Bengal Tilapian: priceless

Well, it was mainly that I figured he had been idle faaar too long. Basically, I didn't think I could get back into Eutopia without a new character, and I wanted to get rid of this old one so nobody would think I was still playing at the present time.

That's a fairly generous allocation for all other departments there. We'll have to look at slashing that during the next legislative session we feel like holding.
Incidentally, Tilapia is the Spanish-speaking provinces, right? I believe 'della' is Italian, and if you want Spanish in that embassy thread title, you should go with 'de la'. Or 'del' if Tilapia happens to be one of those weird words that is masculine with a feminine ending.
EDIT: Now that I look at the thread title again, it should just be 'de'. I seized on the Italian usage and choked.

In much the same way that, say, Argentinian Spanish is dialectically different from Spanish Spanish and Mexican Spanish, Tilapian Spanish has it's own unique usage rules. One such rule allows the elision of "de la" into "della", both in spoken and written Tilipian Spanish.
As for why it's "della Tilapia" rather than "de Tilapia", this would be because "El Reino della Tilapia" is a convenient abbreviation for "El Reino de la reina del pueblo soberano y independiente de Isabela y Nueva Rioja, unido debajo de la corona de Tilapia", that is, "The Kingdom of the queen of the sovereign and independent people of Isabela and Nueva Rioja, united under the crown of Tilapia." Newly flush with independence, the Tilapians were a little... overzealous.
Why is the country TilApia but the adjective is always TilIpian? Everyone writes that and it confuses me :wacko:
