Term VIII election: Director of Internal Affairs

[Drogue]

Although the constitution allows it, I thought we had voted that the DIA couldn't be Governor If he can, that means he can bias things towards his region. It also gives im 2 votes on the Governor's council doesn't it? I trust TKG, but I think having the same person in both is a little worrying.

What Governor's Council?

That's a group of people sitting in the rec commons every weekend, doing nothing and getting paid for it.

The body that is supposed to decide faction wide internal events. I was refering that the constitution states that:

The Director of Internal Affairs is the head of the governors council/

If he is also a governor, then he has two votes.

Moreover, why is it constitutional for the DIA to break any tie, yet other directors are not allowed to? Surely it is undemocratic for one person to have more power in any particular poll? Indeed, I cannot find a section of the constitution that states that this is so. Can someone enlighten me?

Ssshhhhh ... might I highlight the getting paid for it, as in we'd like it to continue

[Maniac]

Okay I'll keep it silent. After all we all benefit from it. I because I'm a big shareholder in the Recreation Rommons Ltd., DIA TKG because he provides the Xenobrew for these councils, and all the governors because they can get drunk on the government's cost.

i always thought that it was the person who was responsible for the poll was the one who broke the tie. so being DIA and governor really would make no difference in a regional poll because i'd be breaking the tie as governor anyways.

Ok... If that is what is acceptable, then can we write it into the constitution? I always thought if it was a tie, then it fails, since we needed a clear majority, but that isn't in the constitution either.

*scribbles into the constitution: "TKG always wins"*

[DeathByTheSword]

/me scribbles under that: aprils fools day

[Drogue]

* Drogue scribbles "Cedayon is a fool" and classifies it under April Fools Day

[Cedayon]

*scribbles on a SETSP hit request form, the name "Drogue" is in there somewhere, along with the phrase "lots of money"*

[Method]

the SETSP is forbidden from assassinating government officials. Tassadar tried that nearly 2 centuries ago, when he had his UNN (presently CNN) goons kidnap and dispose of Commissioner Crisler. His body was later found in the Recycling Tanks, a popular hangout at the time, and Tassadar ran off before his trial, never to be heard from again. some say he still lurks in the forests near Antioch, preying on passing christians

*mysterious music*

anyways, we've learned that assassination jobs tend to be a bit messy, and besideswhich, Drug called me holy master, so he's forgiven this time

[Drogue]

Besides, you think you can keep it from my agents? I'm probably the hardest person to assassinate in our faction

[Cedayon]

"hit request" doesn't mean "assasinate", it just means, uh, uh, "hit with a bunch of banana cream pies"

And Tassadar, blood of martyrs is not a good thing to have on your hands
