24th RA and Chancellor - Swearing In

Post by Aliasi Stonebender »

I'll reply to this post when the full ceremony is done, but here is the swearing in of Rosie Gray and Shep Titian done today, for posterity.

[13:04] Aliasi Stonebender: anyway, 3 after, so let's get this show on the road. This is not a meeting of the RA as such, as the Saturday event will be, but a small session ahead of time to swear in Rosie and Shep.
[13:04] Aliasi Stonebender: At that time the RA will be officially electing the LRA and other such official business.
[13:04] Aliasi Stonebender: So, Rosie, if you'd care to approach the stage?
[13:05] Rosie Gray: yes m'am
[13:06] Aliasi Stonebender: Please proceed with giving your affirmation.
[13:06] Rosie Gray: yes
[13:06] Rosie Gray clears her throat
[13:06] Rosie Gray: I, Rosie Gray, having been elected Chancellor of the Confederation of Democratic Simulators, do solemnly affirm that I will faithfully discharge my duties as such to the best of my ability,
[13:06] Rosie Gray: that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Confederation of Democratic Simulators,
[13:07] Rosie Gray: and that I will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of Confederation of Democratic Simulators.
[13:07] Aliasi Stonebender: Thank you, Rosie. Now, Shep, if you would care to come on stage?
[13:07] Rosie Gray: ㋡
[13:07] Aliasi Stonebender: Shep, if you would proceed with YOUR affirmation?
[13:08] Shep (shep.titian): Certainly
[13:08] Shep (shep.titian): I, Shep Titian having been elected as a Member of the Representative Assembly of the Confederation of Democratic Simulators, do solemnly affirm that I will faithfully discharge my duties as such to the best of my ability, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Confederation of Democratic Simulators, and that I will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of Confederation of Democratic Simulators.
[13:08] Aliasi Stonebender: Thank you Shep, and and thank you both for volunteering your service.
[13:09] Pip Torok: APPLAUSE .......
[13:09] Shep (shep.titian): Thank you for your time :)

What's the reason for swearing in Shep separately from the rest of the RA?
I asked her if she was able to attend Saturday and she led me to believe she'd be able to be there.

It's one thing for Nolligan --who cannot attend because of RL-- to take a seperate oath, but it's BS for anyone who can be sworn in with us to take one.

This is some rinky-dink bullshit, y'all.

Rinky dink BS eh ... what an encouraging start ... basically it was just oportunistic of me .. I asked if it were possible and was told yes .. end of .. no drama .. we should have been sworn in by now with LRA elected and able to move forward ... and there is no ceremony attached to being sworn in, we cannot do our jobs until we are and that's it .. no subterfuge .. no drama ... no conspiracy ... just wanted to get the job done ... oh and yes I still hope to be there on Saturday .. RL permitting ..

I am not a sheep ... I am the Shepherdess .. An it harm none .. so mote it be ..

I was there and did not take the opportunity to be sworn in because not every Rep was present. It makes no difference, Han, it is just a ceremony that needs to be done asap.

Oh, btw, I hope we can have two RA meetings in December. As Shep explained to me we can do no substancial work on 12/6 but elect a LRA because we will have no valid Agenda...

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If y'all don't care, no reason I need to...it's not like my plate isn't full to over-flowing anyway.

[10:05] Hannah Marie Bloodwolf (han.held) waves silently to Pip
[10:06] Aliasi Stonebender: Most of you are aware, but for those who are not, the purpose of this meeting of the RA is to both swear in the new representatives, amd to allow them to choose an LRA who can begin drafting up the agenda for the first normal meeting of the term. Shep was handled earlier this week, although I'm glad to see you were able to attend now, but the rest of you, I've handed the affirmation notecard.
[10:06] Aliasi Stonebender: As I call on each of you, please copy it into chat with your name in there.
[10:07] Aliasi Stonebender: guillaume? Go ahead, please.

[10:07] Aliasi Stonebender: Thank you, Gaius. Han? You next.
[10:08] Hannah Marie Bloodwolf (han.held): Thanks...

[10:08] Aliasi Stonebender: Thank you, Han.
[10:09] Aliasi Stonebender: Tanoujin?
[10:09] Tanoujin Milestone: I, Tanoujin Milestone, having been elected as a Member of the Representative Assembly of the Confederation of Democratic Simulators, do solemnly affirm that I will faithfully discharge my duties as such to the best of my ability, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Confederation of Democratic Simulators, and that I will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of Confederation of Democratic Simulators.
[10:09] Aliasi Stonebender: Thank you all. And in a mild repeat of last term, I present to you all 4/5ths of the 24th RA. :)
[10:10] Pip Torok: Applause ......
[10:10] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): ㋡
[10:10] Aliasi Stonebender: So, as seems to be traditional at this point, would the RA care to select the LRA now? If so, I would like to hear nominations.
[10:10] Rosie Gray: ··•°•··..☺ Applauds! ☺ ..··•°•··..
[10:10] Tanoujin Milestone: I nominate Shep Titian

[10:13] Shep (shep.titian): I only have one bit of business for today
[10:13] Widget Whiteberry nods to Lil. Or affirm...

[10:13] Hannah Marie Bloodwolf (han.held): She's unopposed...it's the unopposed RA :3
[10:14] Hannah Marie Bloodwolf (han.held): Congrats, Shep
