[Forum Game]Fallout Realism: Vault 191

[Nodscouterr]

Danijela, battered and tired, pushes Marcus aside and steps up on a small crate.
''Romans! Today, I have finally returned to where my heart lies! The day I stayed behind to see our exile be successful, my men and I washed away our sins in blood. We were willing to give everything, some of us did, to secure our future. To safeguard our truth and our glory. Few made it out alive, even fewer are here with us today. It is nothing less than a tragedy to see these men remain in the clutches of the thieves of Vault 191. I promise you, our Exodus shall not last forever. One day we shall free those who gave their liberty away to safeguard our lives. They are heroes, each man no less deserving of honour than I. We shall move on, but never forget.

To see my people having found a place to rest, to be safe and to soon expand warms my heart. Here we will rebuild, and here we will regain what made us great, and what will make us great in the future. In honour of this, I shall from now on take the name Decima Domitia Nerva. Let us honour our Princeps for his actions by following them.

But I must end now, with less pleasant news. Khan, former commander of one of our Roman squads, was not captured while out scouting. He is a traitor, who came to the vault and surrendered to the vault in an effort to spare his own life. Today we can not tolerate traitors or deserters, and thus, I order you to arrest Khan immediately.

Sic Semper Tyrannis, my brothers and sisters.'' Decima walks off towards the Princeps as the guards begin to walk towards Khan.

 

[LatinKaiser]

Sic Semper Tyrannis, my brothers and sisters.''

((That expression... I do not think it means what you think it means. ))

 

[Tufto]

Order: Guards! Seize the traitor! Take his weapons and bring him before the Princeps at once!

You have done well this day, Decima Domitia Nerva.

 

[Rovsea]

What is the point of accepting a constitution we know is flawed with the basis of 'we'll change it later'? And might I remind you that by the constitution as it is, the judges can block any legislation they feel like, which could very well be the case against laws that would limit their power.

Not if we amend the constitution before we appoint the judges, good sir.

 

[parabranko]

Order: Guards arrest Khan immediately, if he tries to run shoot him!

Address to the Citizens of Nova Roma​

Romans,

It is with both the greatest of pleasures and worst of pains that I address you. For us the greatest of heroes has returned: Decima Domitia Nerva, a woman who nearly gave her life for us to allow us precious time to escape and find our new home, a woman to whom we owe our lives and our eternal gratitude. As such, I would gladly appoint her as the Commander of the Praetorian Guard, for she is someone all of us can trust our lives to. We also have had a newcomer, Marcus Caepasius Gracchus, to whom we are also in eternal gratitude. Not only has he left behind the luxuries of the vault to join us out of loyalty and dedication but he is also the one to whom we owe our thanks for the release of the great Decima. With them they also brought Khan, the man to whom I bestowed the first Consulship and one lost to us...we had feared he and his men were captured or killed by whatever dangers lurked in the ruins of New York City...yet a worse news has come to light: Khan, a man we trusted, not only abandoned our cause but submitted himself to the vault, our enemies!

Whereas there are many times where I would call for mercy and clemency and also motion for a trial to take place, these words come from our great hero and have been affirmed to me by her rescuer. It is therefore, with a heavy heart and sadness, that I not only confirm the arrest warrant for Khan but order the Magister Militum and his forces to immediately put him to death by whatever means is necessary. Whilst I hate to do this I must make an example for everyone: we cannot allow deserters and traitors who believe they can wander back and expect to be given the same treatment as before, especially if they were senior officials.

We must remain positive however; tomorrow is a new dawn and a new day, and we shall grow stronger and prosper, we will build ourselves up as a great nation.

Ave Nova Roma!

I reject the proposed Constitution, as the constitution requires the suggested parts about the Security forces.

 

[Bialaska]

I propose that until a Constitution has been made and we have ensured that there are no more thefts of resources by those who break into our secure facilities, we must seal the vault, only opening it for the returning explorers.

I second this motion. We must make certain that we are safe, and if we can not be certain that those we hold prisoner remain as such, then we can not be certain that we are safe from attack.

 

[DharmaHelper]

I graciously accept the position of Censor, and look forward to serving Nova Roma with honor.

ORDERS: Walk up to all Congresspeople who have yet to vote, and slap them, repeatedly (although not enough to cause lasting damage) until they vote.

The Execution of Khan'

Slavko Brankovich Bulbus and five men of the first centuriae were the first to arrest Khan and they were to be the ones to execute him. Marching him out on the night of the tenth Slavko blindfolded him then ordering his men to aim he waited for Khan to begin to whimper before firing off a volley. Slavko even managed to get a headshot blowing Khans brains across the wall.

The Great Slapping

In a holiday which would long be celebrated by future generations of the vault congressmen Armstrong walked across the chambers of congress backhanding every man woman and child he came across. Some cried while others fainted it would be the event known as the great slapping every year from then on, on the 11th of February a special congressman or woman would get the privilege of slapping the entire congress at least once.

 

[Rovsea]

((I must point out a slight inaccuracy. Khan was first arrested by the righteous forces of Vault 191 as he turned himself in. I only say this because Baboush included the words "were the first" for no reason.))

 

[jeeshadow]

I must also, sadly, reject the Constitution. Congressman Swanson makes very good points on the military, and we should implement them before we ratify this Constitution.

It is imperative that we get a Constitution up, or else all the people that died against the Tyrant died for nothing. I will personally propose an amendment to the Constitution when, and if, it is passed.

-Steve C. Olbert

 

[Bialaska]

"Mr. Olbert, why is it such an imperative that the Constitution is passed without the military being included in it? The fact is that once the contitution is passed, there will be many more requirements in order to make amendments and additions. And I do believe that the original may need to have the Judicial Branch clearly specified as being an office, and that corrupt judges may be removed by a 2/3 majority vote."

Sir, corrupt judges CAN be removed by Congressional vote, unless I am very much mistaken. If not, then we can make any and all necessary amendments before enacting any Constitutional policies.

 

[Korona]

Article IV

Section A
The judicial branch shall be headed a Supreme Court, consisting of five justices.

Section B
The primary duty of the Supreme Court shall be to oversee cases involving the constitutionality of laws or actions taken by either the executive or the legislative branch. All five justices shall cast one vote, with a simple majority required to reach a decision.

Section C
A Supreme Court Justice may be appointed by an Overseer, but must receive a two-thirds majority from the Congress of Vault 191 to be confirmed. Said Justice must not be corruptible, and must adhere to the Constitution of Vault 191.

Section D
A corrupt or unruly Justice may be removed from office via a 2/3 majority vote in Congress.

Section E
Congress can overrule the Supreme Court's decision via a 3/4 supermajority vote.

Section F
Supreme Court Justices have 10 year terms before three new Justices are elected. The remaining two new Justices are elected 10 years after the election of the first three. Justices can hold the office of Justice for two maximum terms.

I have revised Article V due to popular demand. Feel free to disagree, I deemed it necessary to end some arguments that should have ended a long time ago.

 

[Rovsea]

We can all vote unanimously for that once we agree to have a constitution. Let me put this as simply as I can, and I don't mean to be offensive here: Is there any person here that is opposed to having a constitution?

 

[aedan777]

This is almost acceptable, however there is no mention of term limits. Would these judges rule for life? Judges should be appointed every 5 years, like the cabinet or other important positions. And yes I agree we should have a constitution Congressman Armstrong, but that does not mean we should accept the first piece of garbage labeled 'constitution' put before us.
