I was aware of that, only after I took control of the NA. J-L can you make it official for game purposes?
(You better do it, JL, before Josephus has your character brutally murdered )
P.S. I'll be gone tomorrow...

Hajji- Your column in the EUtopian Today made me laugh out loud, causing my wife to give me the ol' fish eye wondering what was so funny.
Josephus, Bramarius- Since I am no longer affiliated with the DA, I will say I am kind of surprised that the two of you think I ought to run for President....

Who published "The history of the von Maazarins"?
Does this mean that Centrist Magazine has finally produced something? (Hint: answer should be "Yes")
If so, it may help their stock. Who wants to own a magazine that doesn't print or publish?

So, I've just joined up in this little game and was wondering about a few things:
1) How can I propose a law to the legislature? Do I need to be a member, or can I pitch it to the member representing me?
2) How free form is this game, anyway?
Thanks
V.

1)You gotta get to NA. You can post your suggestion to a MoNA
2)You can do almost everything as long as it's realistic.
and, add your character's name to your sig for recognition reasons.
Above all, welcome!I hope you enjoy

Welcome
To explain a little more, only elected members of the National Assembly can propose legislation in that thread. Sometimes Ministers are invited to make recommendations, and in rare cases other non-assemblymen have been invited.
There are elections every couple of months when new assembly members are chosen, but replacements are chosen by the parties if their is attrition during the term.
A lot of important legislation and public policy can get proposed without being in the legislature, usually by creating a lot of support for it in the "media" or through a special commission or committee created by the President, the Ministers, or even a private group. For example, there is a "Charter of Rights" that was debated by the EUtopian Bar Association, who then held an open meeting for public comment, and now it has been presented to the assembly.
As for how free-flow the game is, please read the "Things you need to know" FAQ and other background info. There are a couple simple rules posted there that will really help you if you make sure you know them in advance. For example, you can't control other people, (players or non players) beyond some basic background characters such as a secretary, a driver, a small crowd, who doesn't impact any other characters or the game. That is, you could talk to your secretary or lead a demonstration outside a building, but you couldn't send someone to blow up something. There are always exceptions, but the FAQ is a good guide.
Generally, just use good sense and if you want to take an action that will impact other players directly (anything that would physically restrain or affect them, their property, etc.) check with a GM (Me, Melanchthon, or Blade) before you do it.
Hope that makes sense,

Would some mod be kind enough to unlock Tabor News and Talk for me so that I can sprout my center-left propoganda on occasion?
Josephus- To be honest, I have become disillusioned with party politics for now. I also, to also be honest, have no desire to become President. I know, hard to believe, there is a player who doesn't want to become president, but I really don't. I'm really pondering my role in EUtopia at the moment. I am seriously considering going back to my independent, businessman ways and the ETE. I just haven't decided yet. Sorry to disappoint you and others, but I am suffering my own form of burnout.
BARKEEP IS BACK!!! Let's celebrate!!!!
...oh, and hello, Voshkod Would you be interested in taking over EUtopian National Defense Technologies (ENDTech), a company which designs various stuff for the military? Seems it's right up your character's alley.

Thanks Hajji. Would you be up to doing one of the sumamries I know you used to do oh so well to catch me up on what all has happened? I've figured a bunch of stuffout, but there is only so much I have been able to piece together about what has happened this term.
Yes, it's good to have Barkeep back. I'm hoping Craig Ashley returns too.
Mel, not picking on you about the whole "nit picking" thing. I know you work hard and do a great job as CRO....it's just being speaker for the first time in this rather confusing NA climate...it's hard to keep track of things.

looks like the left candidate is a lock to win this terms presidency. going to be interesting if they can sneak off winning 6/8 seats...
Basic Summary
The moment I sent you a PM asking you to be my VP running mate* you disappeared, thereby destroying my chances of winning. Professor Pierre Talbott won, made some speeches, and opened a flurry of Presidential activity. MDIA Julseau's trip round the world was cancelled after he died during a sex orgy.
The military tribunal ended up with Haynes in jail for quite a while and Tulp killing himself. Jacob Langley redisappeared. Morgan made snide remarks about everyone from the sidelines. The favor was returned when a gala in honor of Miss Witney von Vaam and totally organized by Morgan fell apart.
The National Assembly sat on its fat buttocks for waaay too long, so that almost half lost their jobs because an angry Blade! returned from the 1800s with some crazy law saying that lazy government officials have the right to get fired.
The opposition watched helplessly as the government sat idly; Morgan built an Italian villa, Amric quit the District Attorney Party, Michael Lundgren quit the Speakership after Roberto Martinez quit the Speakership, John O'Floinn started a HILARIOUS TV show, I started the Post of the Month awards, various newcomers started their engines, Konstantin Vilms started the Royalist Party, Amric started EUtopia's only remaining newspaper (sigh), Morgan started writing for it, and almost everyone started leaving.
*starts crying*
Everyone's leaving! Soon there'll be so few people here that I'll stage a coup and no-one will notice!
*cough*
Heh.

*Yes, Morgan WAS trying to forge a Morgan/Glasser ticket!
