  • Time to come together and get to work

    As our landing craft approaches Planet, the time has now come for us to begin to work of forming an orderly and structured society.

    First I wish to thank God for this election, His mercy abounds forever. I wish to thank the other memebrs of the Fundamentalist Faction and our Allies in ACE and the Capitalist party. Finally I wish to thank all those independents and people who votes outside their party, your faith in this Administration will not be forgotten.

    Our first order of business needs to be providing our people with some formal document outlining the Goverment we wish to represent them with.

    To this end I wish to call for a Constitutional Committee to be formed. I ask the leaders of each Party, yes folks Party not Coalitions, to be members of this committee. Since I cannot directly work this committee as a conflict of interest I appoint Leland as the new party leader for the Fundamentalist Faction. Today I stand before you all not as a Fundamentalist, but a represenative of all the people of our colony.

    I would ask my worth second in command, Darkness' Edge to join me in working as represenatives of our people, not as party members.

    Now then I ask that this committee meet within the next 24 hour and provide a role call so we know all have been properly informed. Next, once this committee has properly formed I asked that within the next 7 days they present to myself and Darkness' Edge a draft of the Constitution they have completed.

    My goal is that once the Committee has approved their draft and the Executives have approved the draft, we will present it to the people for discussion for a period of one week. This will have us at the 24th. At the end of that week any tweaking that needs to be done will be completed and the final version of the Constitution will be presented to the people for radification on the 26th.

    I also call for the closing of nominations for all cabinet position within the next 48 hours. This provides enough time for any last minute runners to come forward.

    Darkness' Edge I would request you take charge of running the elections for the cabinet positions in the manner you think will work best. I would suggest that we have the elections for thos positions completed by the 21st. This gives enough time for debate and discussion of views.

    I welcome any suggestions to the proposals I have made. I have made the timing decisions based on the information I have seen in other posts and the original idea that our craft will make planet fall on September 1.

    Again thank you for your faith and support as we begin this great experiment. My comm screen is always accessable for any ideas and discussions.

    Quick question before the people. It was discussed about allowing each commissioner to name a city. As such does this office allow me the priviledge of naming the First City?

        yes folks Party not faction,
        what's the difference between party and faction?

          Many of these groups are now composed fo two or three parties that form a faction or colaition. Sorry maybe the wrong word was used. The idea is to have all parties represented.

            Question from the public: Am I correct to understand that those directors elected at 21st will be the directors of the September month? I know many people consider it pointless to appoint directors for August.

              I believe I’ve already congratulated Crisler on the victory in the News thread, but perhaps this one will be more appropriate. The people have spoken, and it is time for us to unite behind the Commissioner in a show of solidarity (the backstabbing will come later ).

                That's how I understood it too.

                  I believe Darkness' Edge is going to be away for a while (he did mention it a few days ago) though I’m not certain for exactly how long. Perhaps someone else could take on the responsibility of setting up the polls for the Directory candidates (at least until he gets back).

                    perhaps DBTS will be the acting Alpha Talent until Darkness' edge came back? or would you like to appoint someone crisler?

                      I would be honored if DBTS was prepared to accept the role for a short term. However if you have no desire to take the position let me know and I will appoint a special assistant to the Commissioner to handle this item.

                      As for the election issues, yes I understood that elections will be for the directors for the entire month of Sept. My question before the people at this time is;

                      Does the term of First Commissioner last through the month of Sept as well or does it end on the 10th of September?

                          I was hoping to get some of the actual play time in. :-) I guess I will just have to work hard and have the people demand me stay for a second term :-)

                            Constitutional committee

                            Congratulations on your election, Commissioner Crisler. While we have not always agreed, I respect your integrity and believe that you'll do an excellent job as Commissioner.

                            Although I founded the EDP, I have never claimed the title of leader, preferring to call myself an equal voice among many. However, I have asked the party if they will consent to have me represent them on the Constitutional Committee.

                            Assuming that that is approved, where would the Committee like to meet? The chat here at Apolyton is a possibility -- although I've never tried to use it so don't know if there might be probems. Another possibility is IRC.

                            I'd prefer to deliberate in chat rather than in a thread format, if it's feasible. However, if there is no single time when everyone is able to meet, I'd be willing for us to start a thread on the topic, rather than chat.

                            I will be leaving on a survey of the Xenofungus beds near our base site in two days. [I'll be on vacation in Utah for a week.] During my absence, if the committee allows it, I will support FlameFlash as the temporary representative of the EDP. If the committee would rather not have the change in two days, I will step aside and support FameFlash as the EDP member from the get-go.

                            That said, let's get this thing off the ground! Any other thoughts?

                              Adam, thank you for your kind words. The actual Committee meeting and discussion area is up to the Committee. However I have begun to post many of my own ideas for the Constitution in the public forum.

                              I will not participate in the actual Committee discussion since that is why they are formed. However I hope to stir some lively public debate on some of the specific issues so as to provide some areas of consideration for the Committee.
