Pass Emigration: Pickle and Associated Accounts

[Dirk Funk]

am I being removed from the citizens list too?

Not that I know of. Why would you?

[WillsZenith]

make me a citizen so my vote counts, and I voted to keep pickle,

 

[Dirk Funk]

Can't do that in the middle of a vote. You know that.

*feels Ily* nice and warm

 

[Ilyanna]

Indeed... and as long as you continue 'feeling', I will get warmer and warmer

 

[Ilyanna]

Oh, and Dual?

5. Those citizens who emigrate from the Badlands can be stricken from the list of grandfathered citizens by a majority yes/no vote.
A) A citizen who has emigrated must not have posted within the Badlands for a period of one month.
B) A current citizen must nominate someone for an Emigration Vote.
C) Just because someone is unliked does not qualify them for an Emigration Vote.
D) Emigration Votes will be held seven days prior to every second election.

I really can't remember.. when is the next election to be held again??

 

[Dual]

It's a clearly implied range. The emigration votes must be held at least seven days before the election, but not within that last week. As the next election won't be held within seven days, this is a valid time.

 

[Ilyanna]

Nope. It does NOT say 'at least'. It clearly states, I quote:
'Emigration Votes will be held seven days prior to every second election.'

I strongly believe that if Conchaga had wanted to have stuff implied in the Spamstitution, he would definitely not have created 22 paragraphs of legalese....

 

[Dual]

Would you like to hold a vote on the interpretation of that clause? I will.

 

[Ilyanna]

Of course, dear. But maybe it'd be a good idea to wait 24 hours so I've had time to update the Citizen's list before we do another vote. It's so much easier if we don't have to edit the voting results in order to kick out all the invalid votes, don't you think?

 

[Dual]

Let's hold it after the conclusion of this ballot, yes. If your interpretation stands, Pickle's accounts will be welcomed back into the citizenry, for the time being. If mine wins out, this vote remains.

 

[Ilyanna]

Fair enough.

 

[Thor]

The god of Thunder votes to strike down this "Pickle". May he meet us in Valhalla!

 

[Omar]

[Ilyanna]

Yeah, well... problem I have with this is..
as explained in that other thread, quite a few people who voted here have not been citizens when they did. Or, to be more precise, since there aren't any time-stamps on the votes, there is no clarity if they were citizens at the time of voting or not. Since this has quite the consequences for the result of this ballot, I herewith object formally to the vote itself and request a re-election after the issue of citizenship for Classic_Forever, Nice Bad Guy, and Aquehonga has been sufficiently resolved.

Also, classichummus vote clearly is based on personal dislike, which is, by our Spamstitution, not a valid reason for an Emigration Vote, so his vote does not count.

Oh yeah, and then there is this issue of when to do an Emigration Vote...

In light of all this, I think it'd only be fair to let Dark Pickle stay until the above-mentioned questions have been resolved.

 

[Dual]

Vetoed. Even if you discount the questionable votes on the "yes" side, the illegal votes "no" maintain the ballot's result.

 

[Ilyanna]

Vetoed my ass. The whole election is a fraud, so I demand a re-election. We did it with the mod election Omar vs Dirk Funk, so we should do it here, too.

 

[Dual]

Omar and Dirk tied. This isn't even close.

 

[Ilyanna]

Doesn't matter. Invalid vote = re-election.
