I'm not following what is going on here.

I think Ray isn't, either.

Sorry I missed that, OlimarandLouie's bill has been implemented. The previous policy list and the OP have been updated accordingly.

Wait, we do not receive new Secret Policies for the new year?
Technology is just going to keep getting bashed into oblivion. ;o

We get new policies every 4 years, and also a new presidential election at that time.

No, every four years. If we received new policies every year, there'd be no point in even having policies. You couldn't make deals with people, form alliances, or implement any form of strategy since you couldn't account for what would happen the next year. The winner would be determined mostly by random.org.

Every four years works pretty well at changing things up a little while still giving a reasonable time frame of stable policies to work within, plus there will be another four years after the new policies are distributed in order to regain some of the points you may have lost in the previous term.


Well it is the least popular policy, and I want the fewest number of people to be negatively affected as possible. Even people with +Technology were adding -Technology to their own bill, it's in the best interests of the whole. That being the case, all bills must include -Technology. It's the only right thing to do.

You can counteract this by passing a bill which has more positive points than negative points for you. Contact me with a bill draft, and I can check with the members of the SRP to ensure it does not hurt any one of them in particular. I'm sure we can work something out.

I just wanted to let my fellow SEN citizens know what kind of corruption is currently ruining their awesome island.
Do we really want someone manipulating the Powers as a President?

I demand a referendum to know the population's vision toward their current leader now that they know that an elected members of their Congress is being threatened for wanting to remain an independent candidate.
I am here to represent my electors' voices, and not the ones from the candidates themselves.

More Democracy, More Freedom!

This Year's Bill: "The People's Bill"

I'm gonna submit my bill

+Equality
-Technology

Well, if I understand properly, all the bills that have already passed will be resubmitted for the next 4 years.

I still prefer the idea of randomizing policies more often.

Also, NO to Rai's bill.

I note NEIGH on payne's so-called "people's bill" that does nothing but curtail their freedom and equality, and YEA on Raitaiki's bill.

...Neigh lol?

Nay for payne's bill

Yea for Rai's bill.

Yes, I would also like the island of SEN to be aware of the corruption present, which I have attempted to curb both diplomatically and then forcefully. However, the corrupt self-serving Payne refuses to listen to the people, or to be reasoned with in any capacity.

He is so greedy and determined to focus only on his own desires that he would rather attempt to publicly misconstrue a perfectly harmless comment out-of-context than actually take a moment to negotiate an outcome that is best for everyone.

This is the entirety of my attempted negotiation, which clearly demonstrates the great willingness I had to work out favorable terms for everyone, especially payne.


As you can see, payne has refused from the beginning to be civil, helpful, or provide any feedback whatsoever. My comment to him was merely a statement of fact; if you do not work out favorable terms with a majority of players, you will end up with a negative score in the triple digits, because your bills will never be passed, and your favored policies will be entirely overlooked.

In order to ensure this kind of corruption does not spread, I will state the following:

Anyone who is voting "yes" for payne's bill at the time of its deadline will have their own bill vetoed.

This is only for the duration of this year, as I would like to give him the opportunity to reform. Stopping this kind of behavior, like the underhanded leaking of private conversations taken out-of-context to smear an elected official, is exactly what the SRP is trying to change. We want a government that is to-the-point, one that is for the people, not for themselves.

I implore payne to reflect on the abuse of his position, to look back down the dark road he has traveled and to choose a path more brightly lit to walk in the future. I would like to reopen negotiations with you for next year payne, and hope that you can be more willing to reason, to have a conversation rather than simply stating your demands. Please, from now on consider acting in a way that is best for the people of SEN, instead of just yourself.

I look forward to working something out with you in the future that is as fair for you as everyone else

I finalize my vote NO on payne's bill.

I hereby draft my Save The Fishies bill:
+ Economy
+ Environment
- Freedom
- Technology

This bill will ensure toxic sludge from designer jeans factories do not kill our fishies through a multiple-pronged approach:
1. The economy will be encouraged grow away from consumption and towards a service-based economy.
2. Strict water quality regulations will be put in place, now that we have secured our forests against future exploitation.
3. The freedom of the people will be curtailed: no designer jeans are to be legally sold within SEN's borders.
4. The designer jeans factories will be prohibited from operating within SEN's borders.

I finalise my NEIGH on payne's bill.

+Morality
+Economy
-Technology
-Order

Dat draft.

LANTHANIDE'S A HORSE

Also, ditto Azrael.

I am here to represent the greatest interest of my electors, and not the ones of the other candidates.
Fellow citizens, I hereby quote your elected President:
If this looks like democracy, and does not look like dictatorship and abuse of power to you, you are a lost soul.
Not to mention that this President was elected solely by the members of the Congress, and that citizens didn't participate at all in voting for the person that has the anti-democratic right of "Veto" against bills that would be passed by their elected candidates.

My current remedy is rather simple: abolish the position of the President (if the game allows it), and abolish any form of "false freedom of choice" (like the current regressive and anti-democratic form the Sen Reform Party has taken).
We will soon end up having to bend to certain people's desires because of the dependence this system will have created.


NO to Lanthanide's bill.
NO to Tikel's current draft.

OH LORD

HERE WE GO

I vote AYE for Tikel's bill.

I vote YES for Tikel's and Lanthanide's bills
