Ascent Sector Council

yes

Hi all...o/

Uhm...?...wheres the poll?...all I see here is a discussion?

I didn't know we officially were voting on anything.

That being said I vote that RAMS very first suggestion should be implemented. It was simple and to the point and doable for a fleabrain...lol

No official poll, more a call for consensus. The options were to add one extra vote for Senators, or just go with a straight one account, one vote system. Seems the original suggestion of adding an extra vote for each Senator that declares in open thread is showing strong support and pulling ahead.

I vote no on extra senator vote. Make it simple.
Hopefully lowers the bar for more to join the voting and discussion.

The reason behind giving Senators an extra vote is because they are usually the ones who supply the vast resources for gates that are used freely by all

Now thats a thin argument, its "usually the ones who supply the vast resources for gates"? But no real connection rigth? What about the big contributers to gates that doesnt have a senator seat, those wil not get an extra vote? Heavy miners dont always have time for politics.
And should senators for that reason get an extra vote in matters not related to gates?

I think 7 Earth days(54 Apollo Sector days) of discussion will be sufficient to work out the structure. If we seem to not have hashed out all the issues, this can be extended.

I think extending it would be good, gives all a chance state their arguments and vote. Not all of us have time to return to apollo several times a week.

And, I'm trying...really I am...to remain formal and in character as a proper Senator for role play purposes here...but this is not fun IMHO

Those who doesnt enjoy it shouldnt feel like they have to either. Especially when discussions are a gameplay related matter, it should be done in the gameplay forum. Forced political discussions arent fun for all, and kills the "setting" for those of us who enjoy the politics. If you struggle to avoid words like game, players, Jam etc the post doesnt belong here.
I do appriciate those who tries like LH, and want to encourage more to do so. But forcing by keeping all discussions that affects us here is not the way to do so.

So have we set the rules? I am ready to open the topics of T2. My factories are warming up as I speak. I have many and can crank out much if there is a place to sell it, so let's talk price already.

After today, I feel the informal call for votes are sufficient. I will now present a formal poll with all the articles for the ASC. I will run that vote for 7 days. If it passes, I will immediately present the pricing structure for the T2 items.

I am closing this part of the deliberation. I tally 5 yes and 2 no. I really do understand the reasons for the no vote, but I do support the yes votes also.

I will be starting a new thread with a poll, you can not attach a poll on an existing thread.

I will be asking for a clear yes no vote for the entire structure of the ASC. I will run it for 7 days. I will also be looking at starting a thread that announces polls. This would allow PC to subscribe to that thread and receive notifications that something was posted in it. Only announcements of new polls would go there, this would keep needless notices going and only that there is a new poll to consider. This would give PC who may be otherwise distracted to be aware that there is something we are deciding on. I will do this as a service, but not an obligation of the office or ASC.
