Quorum Call for Term VI

[E_T]

As we have (at the moment) 46 people who have voted in the Presidential Elections, we will need to know who they are for possible senate Quorum Calls on votes.

Please post here that you voted in the election. This is also for anyone who might wish to join the game during the next term.

The quorum is a quantity, not a list; it results from the poll for election of the President. Votes are private as per the constitutions (old and new).

[GodKing]

I voted..... not that it really means anything.

[joncnunn]

Do you really think we might have a situation where an offical poll gets 11 or less votes?


(And I voted)

[DAVOUT]

As anybody can propose a new law, it is well possible that some proposal interest a very small number of people; the quorum is just made to make sure that any voted law has retained the attention of at least 25% of people having shown their interest in the democratic life in voting in the poll for President election.

[civman2000]

I voted

[Torbjorn]

I have also voted

This is for several reasons:

1) to see who is still active in the game
2) For the possible future Senate leader to know who to PM if a critical vote is up for consideration and still might not have voted. That way if someone is away and checking things on a semi-regular basis, they will be aware of issues that might require their attention.

With the New Con coming into effect shortly, this could be a nice thing to have.

Also, our current sheet of who is in the game is way outdated (200+ people) and this will allow us to see who is still playing.

Yes they are private, I'm not asking for HOW they voted, just IF they voted or not.

The CivGroups, though is rather accurate as to the active member list.

PM'ing for votes...how would this proposed leader know if person A is the one to have not voted yet? I am against this whole concept of creating a list. Always have been. Quorum means you need X number of people to pass whatever law. Not these SPECIFIC people.

And what is wrong with using other methods of getting peoples attention to certain votes? There is a NewZupdate that is on the main page...there is a Gazette that E-mails roughly 70 people...if they want to vote, they can. I don't need any more PM's cluttering my already overstuffed inbox.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Yeah, I'm not very supportive of a list either. What if Aggie decides to kill every third person on the list for sport?

[Epistax]

By your picture Ghengis, I think you are far more likely to. That is, if Mr Bont doesn't stop you.

[roadcage]

I, Ssgt roadcage (retired) do hereby attest and affirm that I have voted for President (...witheld...)

[Panzer32]

Wouldn't quorom be the number of people who voted in the poll, including the abstain option? If it is not, I see no functional purpose for the abstain option. Also: There may be some people who vote in some polls and not others (I did last term), and some who are too busy to vote. Therefore quorum should be the number of people who voted in the poll.

[adaMada]

I voted (in some of the elections at least) and am active, but I agree with those who say we probably couldn't use this for much else besides informational purposes -- our membership is constantly changing. What about someone like UnOrthO, who is traveling and can only be active some of the time? We've had many people leave and return, and even people who are active throughout see changes in their level of activity.

I'd also agree that the CivGroups work pretty well for now, though I imagine that too will eventually overflow with members .
