Ratification of the Constitution

i just don't see the logic behind that.

Are you referring to a draft in one city, or a full-scale mobilization? What I'm referring to is starting full-scale drafting in every city for a major war. If you mean just a draft to fill in a city so that it doesn't go into civil disorder, then sure, that can be up to the PW Minister.

Some positive developments. Encouraging.

I told you guys already, I'm not on some sadistic rampage, I'm just trying to gain some kind of stability here as soon as possible. I'm not against amendments, I'm not saying this is a perfect document, and I'm not against what people are proposing here. But how long do you think it would be before discussions on each and every subject brought up here would take? It could be another month or more until everything is at a point where most people see it as a fit document. Pick the thing apart, give suggestions, and we can fix it as soon as possible. Criticism of the constructive sort is always welcome.

I have a question. How many terms can people serve?

[civman2000]

infinite. Trip: in a full scale thing, the SMC would probably play a larger part but the city planner should also have a say. It still makes no sesne for thje president to be in charge of it though.

Well, looks like the Constitution passed with a super-majority (2/3), so not even the people who wanted that can complain. I'll get working on those proposed amendments, as well as adding this to the "The Apolytonian Government" locked and stickied thread at the top.

Wait a minute, the Constitution doesn't make sense. It's vague on some key things.

Regarding the polling, does the Constitution make the NEW poll invalid if carried out WITHIN 3 weeks, or the OLD poll invalid? Or does it mean the NEW poll is invalid is carried out AFTER 3 weeks? Or the OLD poll is invalid if a repoll is done AFTER 3 weeks?

Second, what do we mean by 2/3? Do we mean 2/3 of ALL citizens? Or just 2/3 of voters within a poll?

[Jon Shafer]

2/3 of people that voted. We've never gotten more than 70 people to vote in a single poll, and that's quite bit less than half our total population. No way anyone can ever get a majority of citizens in any poll, even if people vote unanimously.

What I meant with the polling bit is that if you repoll before 3 weeks, then the repoll is invalid. If you repoll after 3 weeks, and the opposite option wins, then the first poll is overruled by the second repoll. Maybe I should clarify.

Damnation and Hellfire.

[Captain]

Hmm, based on that, I wonder if anyone would have wanted to change their vote?

Perhaps an amendment is in order?
