Eutopia's Asylum for the Incurably Sane, Admissions [for OOC-talk]

[Josephus I]

Of course, Joe could run as someone's VP (like Loic's) and, after a day or two, Loic could resign, resulting in the elevation of Joe back to the job. Of course, he'd have to win a special election after that, but there would have been a gap in an otherwise consecutive term of years.

You guys are so devious.....

 

[Voshkod]

Ah, you have spotted it as well or almost, so the cat is out of the bag. More effective (and what Loic whispered to the President) would be to have a sitting president resign just before the CRO filing deadline, and run for the next term. His VP would serve for the rest of the term as it would be close enough to the regular election not to require a special election. That way a president could serve say 33 months out of 36 of each term for as long as he could keep winning, there was a constitutional amendment, or he was deemed unable to serve by the council of state.

Well, that does make a lot more sense than my method. Hats off, sir.

actualy i think the worst long term affect of the 4-hour deal was revival in interest in the business association. the ECL was "growing" in influence but as i said, i believe the ESA was a few weeks too early in this move as well as it being timed with josephus dealings. senate elections "could" get ugly for the ESA IF* the UMP or CUE find a stable footing.

Thanks, but it probably violates what the mods intended when wrote the constitution, so perhaps, as an MGA, you might propose an amendment when it reconvenes..."no one, having served two years as president in the prior term may run for president..." the language needs some tweaking, but you get the idea.

HELL HAS FROZEN OVER:

I think Josephus has strayed to near the center to support anything like this

a purge is afoot....

If Gonzov knew what was happening, he would flip. He's always been suspicious of the Communists.

fun times are around with a potential internal battle in the "leading" party

They're goddamn insane! What are they trying to accomplish by splitting the party?

This may be the only chance for a Socialist Government with a majority in the GA in Eutopia for a long time, and if they wreck it, I will personally hang them.

Nice to see some political strife after a long drought. Go Weatherman! Go Helter Skelter! Raise the Red Flag.

Bandiera rossa, trionferà!

More like the "Skull and Crossbones on a Red Background" flag.

Communist Swashbucklers?

May God have mercy

 

[Voshkod]

Communist Swashbucklers?

Red Pirate Captain: "Arrr, maties, I mean comrades! We'll hoist the red skull 'n bones, boys, and plunder the rich! Then we'll divide it, to each according to their needs, from each according to their abilities!"

Crew: "Arrrr!"

Captain: "Then I'll lock half the crew below decks until they starve."

Crew: "Arrrr! Wait, what was that?"

Captain: "Then the first mate will drive an icepick through my head and take over! Then the suviving crew members will plunder everyone and keep it for themselves!"

Crew: "Arrrr!!"

Captain: "Then we'll notice that between the killings and the plunderings, no one's steering the boat! Then we'll hit a reef and sink. Arrrr."

Parrot: "Squawk, comrades!"

Vosh...my press conference is ready to go; but I'm gonna wait until you make yours first....

Just posted it. Any press types who want to ask questions of Levarge (and the observers) are welcome in the HIDDEN HERALD thread.

 

[jacob-Lundgren]

questions fired away

 

[jacob-Lundgren]

now for the senate elections all i have to do is convence the people, aka mods, that josephus either is defending his values and worthy opinions or twisting his words and supporting foolish ideas vosh wasnt playing into my hand though perhaps the correct words will get him to give me what i want to be able to quote

a newspaper of excellent quality

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS! FREEDOM OF THE PRESS!

*bwee bwee bwee* *Jedi knights surround the President*

Now think about it. What would you do if George Bush said, "Well, I'm glad you asked that, Mr. Fox News, because I know you're such an excellent TV channel"!

Actually not a bad press conference, except for the fact that you had to keep explaining all the crap that's happening, which naturally makes for...um...unfavorable subject matter.

Well it isn't any secret to anyone that Josephus was editor in chief of the EW for like 20 odd years....surely he would say something like that, knowing that the press has a sense of humour

Yeah, well, couldn't ignore it now could I..whole reason for a press conference is to explain all the crap that's happening
