This is a thread for citizens who are not members of the Magisterium to bring up ideas, request posting rights, etc.

How should I vote?

One of the things I've been thinking of is having votes for WA resolutions that will occur when they reach queue, not when they reach the floor. Doing this will do four things:

  • It will further decrease the potential of votes from being tampered with in any shape or form (I think).
  • It will remove more power from the delegate's opinion on the voting, and will instead be replaced by a more known opinion by the region.
  • It will still give us a strong voting presence early on, combating the likes of other "fast-voters" like Alsted and what not.
  • It will give voters more time to vote.
This will, of course, require a little more work from our Liason, which is unfortunate, but again, if it works correctly, we could at least be well into the WA voting process in a particular resolution right as it hits the floor, if not already finished with the vote and moving on to the next resolution.

Ambassador masks:

A few ambassadors have come to me and to the forum asking if we had special permissions for ambassadors. We currently don't, lol. While I agree this is something pretty minor, it's still something I feel could be debated by the Magisterium. Unfortunately, for me, I don't think I'll be able to help if it's passed, since I'll eventually lose the delegate mask on these forums and consequently lose all admin powers, sadly, unless it's determined somehow someway I can keep those things.

Maybe TEP should discuss pardoning criminals. This is possible on rare occasions, but is not foreseen in the Concordat. I.e., if a criminal shares information, which helps the Elders preventing another crime, maybe they should consider pardoning him. It looks to me that pardoning a criminal should be the right of the Conclave, but maybe this power should be shared with the Delegate. What do you think?

Thanks for the interest FRFA. While crime might be too harsh of a word, since we do have a procedure to punish members who misbehave, we should have one to grant pardon as well. And legally i think it should be a conclave only power.

A while back, some requests went in for WA voting reform. The discussion seems to have gone into the question of whether votes should be public or private. However, the question was also asked of when the Delegate should vote and when voting on this forum should begin, with options discussed here.

While the question of voter integrity and voting privacy is important, it bears mentionin that our Delegate cannot and has not been voting until the region makes its opinion clear on this important matter. Privacy is nice - but I'd rather actually have a vote. Could we resolve this straightaway?

I have a feeling that TEP lacks actual legislation. Perhaps we could get a little more IC with the government, like opening trade pacts with foreign regions and viral diseases and medals for military service... and stuff like that.

It's just a suggestion, and does not need to be taken to heart.

Suggestion ar always welcome, Alejandro.
But i think portraiting the government ICly is more of the realm of RP.
Nevertheless, EPTO and the soon to be ACTEP could provide a few medals.
With so many embassies, a trade rp between regions might feasible.
And viral diseases... You can always have as many as wanted! Just please not on my country :)

Due to current circumstances, it has come to my attention that older members do not really have much incentive to stay here sometimes.

As such, I would like to ask the new Magisterium to embark on a proposal that allows nations that have put in a minimum of two years into the region to have the right to breech the endorsement cap.

Currently, one such instance is Pack who is bound to abide by the 80 endo cap rule. I personally am not comfortable asking someone who has been around this region a lot longer than I have to drop endorsements to meet rules put in place to prevent rogue members from trying to seize control, especially when that said nation has extensively proved their trustworthiness and loyalty to the region. Now, we also cannot make every old member a Vizier lest we turn into TEP's old guard deal, so I think the healthy medium would lie somewhere between.

My idea is that nations who put in a minimum of two years of service, as to be defined by the Magisterium as to what service entails, should have a higher endorsement cap, say 125 to give them the ability to gain more influence.

Thank you!

^_^

The Concordat requires the Viceroy of the East Pacific to keep a record of all Citizens. This I have done, but it is an extremely long and tedious process owing to the fact that the overwhelming majority of forum users in the Citizen usergroup are ex-nations who haven't looked at this forum in anywhere from six months to seven years. Of all the accounts in the Citizen user group, only about one in six are recently active and have nations in the EP.

I would like to do some pruning, removing Citizen masks from the nationless and inactive. I would also like to move those who historically had an impact on TEP from the Citizen group to the Historical Protection group. The reason for this is because I would like to make the job of Viceroy easier. I would like others to be able to hold the position in the future, and keeping track of the status of all citizens (past and present) is hard enough for me with my admin access and vast knowledge of the history of TEP. My successors will likely have neither of these things, and I would not like to saddle them with an unmanageable burden and leave the Viceroy position as a position that can only be held by me.

However, I understand that removing Citizenship from a three-digit number of accounts is likely to be controversial. Therefore, I put these questions to you:

1) Would my intended pruning be permissible under the Citizenship Suspension Act? All usergroup changes would be logged, with the understanding that in the unlikely event that any of these people did return, they would get their full Citizenship restored.

2) If the answer to the above question is 'no', I ask that the Magisterium create a law for the expiration of citizenship, detailing how long players can be inactive on the forum before being moved back into the Member or Historical Protection groups. I list forum inactivity as the criteria because Citizenship should always endure as long as one's nation remains alive in TEP.

I wanted to caution on a recent development in the term limit thread. I know this isn't really my place to question the Magisterium, since I'm not a Magister and will not be running this term, but to change a resolution this close to the elections with just two Magisters active (one of which will not be running for re-election), seems odd to me. The 6/18 rule doesn't seem like a very good one to me, personally, but that's not really for me to say (I personally would not mind a rule that has if a person holds the delegacy for two consecutive terms, they don't run for 1-2 terms after that, depending on if anyone else runs at all, lol). Regardless, I think it'd be best to wait for the new term to hash it out, especially since we will be having a new term next week.

It's just a suggestion though - my opinion doesn't really factor here.

Although many of the Feeders have created guidelines for Adspum posted on the RMB, many badvertisers still do not know the rules. And more confusingly for some of the n000bish badvertisers, is the mention of GAME rules (like the 24-Hour rule) in addition to REGION rules.

While TEP has a link in the WFE pointed to the region's Adspum guidelines, the guidelines themselves contain only our preferences. I believe it would be of benefit to add a link to the TEP Adspum guidelines pointing to the ONE STOP RULES SHOP. Having a clearinghouse link in our region's WFE for badvertisers puts the responsibility for compliance squarely on their shoulders and frees the delegate from frivolous complaints about "heavy ban-fingered discrimination".

A sound suggestion.

There's also the idea of simply banning any and all WFE badvertisers from the region if they are spotted, which has been thrown around for a while now. I wonder if the rest of our current Magisterium would consider initiating a law like that for TEP?

Actually, the claim is both frivolous and not frivolous. Everything except the discrimination would be correct.

In response to your new proposal, I am willing to lobby against this. I'm pretty sure the mods (fuck 'em, but you still gotta comply) will shoot this down, not to mention the fact that it violates UCR rights, so why bother?

Besides, don't you have a region of your own?

The situation concerning the recent administrative concerns has been moved to the executive section to avoid clogging the Magisterium's boards. The executive branch will actively work to resolve this issue and present proposed changes to the Magisterium to be voted upon.

Hi there. I've been nominated for a few posts here, and I wanted to say I'm deeply honored for that. I like to help where help is needed and, as long as I have fun with it, it's purely symbiotic. But if it is determined I should only be selected for one, can I maybe give my opinion as to which I'd enjoy more? Personally, I think if I had to choose, I'd pick being an arbiter over a vizier, just because I feel there's a lot of work that needs to be done there and I think it'd be a lot of fun working with the other arbiters in creating some protocol for trials and the like. *shrugs* Just seems more fun to me than being slightly involved in the government and endo-swapping by myself, if I had to choose. I'd like to be able to do both, as I do have a high influence and could help out viziers and regional security, but if it's a conflict of interest or some other reason that a choice would have to be made, I think I'd pick the arbiter spot over the vizier.

Ultimately, this is the Magisterium's decision to determine if I should be selected for both, one, or none of the posts. But I just wanted to say where I'm coming from. I debated on not saying anything for a while now on the forums, but maybe it'd be best if I spoke up about some of this, lol.

If you need my word on any more of this, I'd be happy to respond here, or in PM / MSN
