[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][i:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn notices Ash sitting here. So, yes, the judiciary bill is going to be discussed. Check![/i:1ef7sgo4][/color:1ef7sgo4]

[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: uh, we forgot to remove it [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Olive:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Simon Butoh[/b:1ef7sgo4]: i'm sorry, i just have to say somethin: no wonder you don't have any new members! what is this, a nursing home in florida???[/color:1ef7sgo4]

[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: No, the nursing home is far more lively. This is a political discussion... :-p[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: ty to simon and goodbye[/color:1ef7sgo4]

[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Really, what was he expecting at a political discussion - pole dancing?[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: now, the judiciary bill? do we need to discuss this any further in principle? or are there tactics to consider[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: LOL[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: tactics, please [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Hmm...[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: he should have stayed, i'm planning to do some naked pole dancing later[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: LOL![/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][i:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn takes out her Amazing Roll of Duct tape.[/i:1ef7sgo4][/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: just before we sacrifice the goat and hold the orgy[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: TO be fair, I've never seen a pole wearing clothes...[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: pfft Pat![/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: did u remember to bring your pose balls?[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: hrmpf Ash[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: :-p[/color:1ef7sgo4]

[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][i:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn *covers her ears*[/i:1ef7sgo4][/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: anywy... tactics[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: yes,[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: I remember taht at some point in time,[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: are they gonna vote for it?[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: I suggested something and someone (was it you Pat?) asked me what it was,[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: and it was a principle of accepting the judiciary bill "in principle"[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: and moving then to the details.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Isn't that effectively what's already happened?[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: oh yes, that blew ppl's minds at the last RA. lol![/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: In essence, what this means is "Will we vote on having a judiciary? Aye/No"[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: I don't think that anybody in the RA seems to be opposing it on principle any more.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Good.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: One point less to discuss,[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: next one? [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: But I'm not sure what the point would be of such a thing anyway, since anybody can submit legislation to the RA to discuss...[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: But that's probably irrelevant now [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][i:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant listens to Jon[/i:1ef7sgo4][/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkOrange:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Jon Seattle[/b:1ef7sgo4]: hmmm.. wonders what Rudy's group is up to on this one[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: It's hard to say exactly what the point of the constitutional "convention" is...[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: On the judiciary?[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Which is why I asked about the agenda.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Ah On the constitutional convention.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: well rudy's suggested scrapping the judiciary proposal in favour of a constl convention[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkOrange:1ef7sgo4][i:1ef7sgo4]Jon Seattle nods[/i:1ef7sgo4][/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: i really don't think that idea is going to fly[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: well, from what i gathered, they stand for a simplification of the current system[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: who wants it?[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: What does he mean by "convention" in this context, anyway?[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: It doesn't seem a popular idea so far...[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Ranma has suggested that the "judiciary" should be the Chancellor as judge, and picking randomly 2-3 people as juries,[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: and end of story.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Perhaps it's a good job that Ranma's not in government office, then [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: i think he means a 'symposium' to use your phrase ash, i guess he's modeliing it on the us constl convention (hopefull not the EU one )[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkOrange:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Jon Seattle[/b:1ef7sgo4]: hmmm. that sounds like a risky approach.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: anyway, whatever it is, we should be present there[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: i intended to go along[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: yes, i am going as well[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: despite the grid problems i met up with rudy, ash and justice last week[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkOrange:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Jon Seattle[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Oh, Delia, did you raise your hand?[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: My suggestion was, as those of you who have read the forums this evening/afternoon will know, is to have the event just as an academic discussion of our constitution in general, with the aim of education, without actually trying to change anything.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: feel free to jump in delia, if you have a question or statement you'd like to make [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Green:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Delia Lake[/b:1ef7sgo4]: ok, thanks[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: ah, btw Pat[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: dunno if you have seen but there is another proposed bill[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: change to covenants[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: so, i get the impression we're not wildly enthusiastic about rudy's proposal?[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: but i haven't read it yet[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Well, I know what he's going to suggest, Pat...[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: (sorry, was just looking at agenda now)[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Not about a simplified constitution, but it's not clear if he's asking whether we should discuss the constitution at all, or propose changes...[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: ok moon, we'll try to get on to that[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: nods[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: "Scrfap it and start from scratch!"[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: *scrap[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Maybe he should join Port Neualtenburg [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: gah! and waste six months writing a new one?[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: well, issue really abut const, at this moment is, is teh system that it defines scalable?[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: he wants a tribal model. One Councilperson and 10 Chairpersons [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: And nothing more.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: I really don't understand this fashion for oversimplification.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: hehe Ash.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: hmmm, with CN definetely on the run, and franchulates, i think it is just not feasible for much longer[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: well, i would have supported that...two years ago. but we are where we are[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: I think that his point is that demcoratic structures can be minimalistic[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Actually, Moon, can I share with the rest of the gang our discussion on the "complexity of democracy"?[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: That depends on what they're democratic structures *for*.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: and our structures are perfectly scaleable, in my opinion[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: lol, your idea there gwyn, not mine [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: i'd be interest to hear that gwyn, moon[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Indeed, especially with the recent reform of the executive, and the (hopefully!) upcoming reform of the judiciary.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: i was doing the nodding .)[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Well, I'll try to keep it brief. It won't matter much now, but you'll see the point ...[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: So, Neufreistadt, up to now, had just "one" model of democratic structures,[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: But I don't see why everybody thinks that our system is so complex anyway: it really is very simple compared to real-world governments![/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: complex enough to allow to scale,[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: vague enough to let us fill in details later.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Both the CSDF and DPU share this, In some cases, the DPU simplifies,[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: in others ? like the federation model with a bicameral structure, it's far more complex that the "republic"[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: But we are basically at a similar "degree" of complexity.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Then, we have our beloved Ashcroft [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: LOL![/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: No vagueness ? everything should be defined to the utter details.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: That scales even better,[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: As I have said, vagueness means, in practice, far *more* complexity than detail.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: will be harder to change and adapt with some degree of flexibility, though.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: And at last,[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: we have a completely new group, around Rudy,[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: and Ranma certainly[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Who are all for minimalistic democracy.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Now.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: We don't know if Rudy + Ranma will create a new party.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: At the upcoming elections, however, they'll use the minimalistic model,[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkOrange:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Jon Seattle[/b:1ef7sgo4]: /md nods[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: as a basis for a very popularistic party.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: well, at least they will challenge other models into discussion[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: "Democracy Can Be Simple! Even YOU Can Understand It!"[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Exactly Moon[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Imagine the impact on the potential franchulates,[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Rudy had originally thought of forming a party, but later decided not to do so, from what I understand.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: who get scared away from our utterly complex models,[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: which are even going to become MORE complex soon.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: (bt, info also on franchulates next)[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Why on earth do you think that anybody has ever been scared away by our complexity?[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Yes, Ashcroft ? BUT he might still try, or Ranma might do it and get his support.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Oh,[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Just comments from lots of groups[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: As far as I can see, complexity being frihtening is a myth.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: "you're interesting, but far too bureacratic, SL is about a quick pace" etc[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Not at all, Ash[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Nobody to whom I have ever given a tour and invited to become a citizen has ever balked at our complexity.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkOrange:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Jon Seattle[/b:1ef7sgo4]: yes, I have heard that from others.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: i think ppl are more likely to be frightened by the dramah, back in the day[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: or if it is, it's a myth used as an excuse for some groups never to join us, although they watch with interest.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Oh, i mean people away from the drama...[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: The sort of people posting in the fora are exactly the sort of people who don't like democracy at all.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Anyway[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Even if it's a myth,[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: well, let's look at it from another pov[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: the Minimalistic Party will certainly use that as a very strong argument.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: It's not strong - it's fallacious.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: a carefully written legislation, is a safety to people[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: The rational must set about showing how it is fallacious, and gathering evidence now.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Yes, quite, Moon [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Ashcroft ? thing about a *populist* party. They want nice buzzwords that everybody understands![/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: soundbites [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: it is a strong argument (even if fallacious) but i'm not sure it will gather enough steam[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkOrange:1ef7sgo4][i:1ef7sgo4]Jon Seattle agrees with Pat[/i:1ef7sgo4][/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Ok. As said, both the DPU and the CSDF are much more in the centre of this debate, we avoid minimalistic approaches...[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: it was the right debate to have two years ago, but we have better things to do than reinvent our system of govnt every year or so[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: But... it could work out.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: As far as I can tell, most of the non-politically active citizens don't terribly much care about the details of our administration as long as they can have their nice little shop in a nice little medieval Bavarian sim filled with nice people.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Quite, Pat.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Ash, that is also very,very true[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: ash makes a sound point, many citizens find this sort of debate v uninvoving[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: So the sort of people who might be thought to be interested in that sort of model are precisely the sort who won't be likely to care much either way.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: i had great diffciulty getting ppl interested in the last election campaign[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: i think though that this notion can be popular on teh franchulates, who are joining mainly for economic reasons, methinks[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: the isssues seemed too abstruse to be popular[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: yes, Pat [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: well i rememeber it [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: As we have discussed before, commercial parties want and need certainty. Certainty entails complex rules.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: but it's worth keeping in mind that this new pole of attraction is forming in the city[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: it is quite interesting, from an observers pov [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Consisting so far of two people, one of who, isn't even sure about whether to do anything about it?[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: shall we move on to the rest of the RA agenda?[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: yes, please[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkOrange:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Jon Seattle[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Ash, I think we do need to take them seriously even if not yet so infuential[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: on the convenants: i haven't read that yet, just diagonally[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: If there's no more on the Judiciary Bill, I'm going to leave - I have a *very* early start to-morrow..[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: And it's already twenty to midnight.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: indeed [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkOrange:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Jon Seattle[/b:1ef7sgo4]: see you Ash[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: i don't think we plan to discuss the judiciary bill further, do we?[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: we can let ash get to sleep[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkSlateGray:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Ashcroft Burnham[/b:1ef7sgo4]: LOL![/color:1ef7sgo4]

[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: lol, see you there [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: so, covenants. has anybody had time to read the proposal. i just skimmed it[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkOrange:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Jon Seattle[/b:1ef7sgo4]: I just skimmed it as well[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: no, just read it very briefly[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Aw. No. I just sent to Claude the "original" ones....[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: some careful reading must take place, to see if namely the CN convenants are well translated into it[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkRed:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Moon Adamant[/b:1ef7sgo4]: CN convenants are complex...[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: i find it difficult to get excited about this. it seems like we don't take them very seriously in any case[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Yes well... I had sent to the whole Bureaucracy Workgroup a list of the covenants for CN[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Ah. Well. That *might* change [/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Indigo:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:1ef7sgo4]: We now have the person who most violated all covenants sitting in the position that enforces them![/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: well indeed! that makes them seem less of a restriction[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=DarkOrange:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Jon Seattle[/b:1ef7sgo4]: Gwyn, Indeed.[/color:1ef7sgo4]
[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: i was planning on adding a spinning neon sign above this place[/color:1ef7sgo4]

[color=Navy:1ef7sgo4][b:1ef7sgo4]Patroklus Murakami[/b:1ef7sgo4]: something tasteful[/color:1ef7sgo4]
