Senators Emeritus
I've created a tag for Senators Emeritus:
I've already asked Mike to upload it to the images directory, which he will try to do tomorrow.
I've also removed two Senators from active duty and added them to the Emeritus list, those two being Sonnenburg, who resigned here, and Sea Skimmer, who I was told by CmdrWilkens wanted to resign. If either of you don't want the tag, please let me know and I'll remove you from the usergroup.

Excellent! Was it going to be added to the Duchess's account as well? (Since that was what started the whole idea?)
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!

No, she's washed our dust off her heels from what I understand

Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

Was the Duchess even active when the Senate was formed? I know she got chosen with the first Senators, but I think that may have been after she parted company with the board.

Her last post was Dec 31. Literally. The Senate started at feasible around Jan 2-3.Gil Hamilton wrote:Was the Duchess even active when the Senate was formed? I know she got chosen with the first Senators, but I think that may have been after she parted company with the board.
So she literally never stepped foot into the place. Ever.

Going along with this we have a current headcount of 50 eligible votes (Rob Wilson as chancellor has discounted himself excepting ties so 51 total users with posting access). That headcount includes 1 inactive (Duchess) and 2 temporarily inactives (Yosemite and Zaia).
For those keeping score this means we need:
25 votes for quorum in category A with at least 15 in favor (60%) for measures to pass
20 votes for quorum in category B with at least 11 in favor (51%) for measures to pass
20 votes for quorum in category C with a plurarily in favor for a candidate to be elected.

"But, Aslan", Lucy said "What time do you call 'soon'?"
Aslan replied, "I call all times 'soon'."
Still, if she hasn't set foot in the place, I don't think she can be called a Senator, let alone Emeritus. How can she retire from a service she was never in?

Well, if she's interested in still being a Senator, there's nothing stopping her from letting us know in here.

Marina is currently refraining from posting at all on the board because someone else asked her to for personal reasons. She is currently looking at resolving things with this other person who has been busy and unavailable recently.
I'm sure she'd like to remain a Senator, but if she is removed from the role, I for one will have no qualms in re-nominating her.

I actually kind of liked Marina despite the fact that I felt she was wrong about almost everything.

Ladies and gentlemen of the Senate, I do believe that this discussion has reached a point of irrelevance.
Thank you, Mike, for the kind words--they were very important to me in deciding to come back.
For the record, for all our differences (and I'm sure we have more in some areas, and far less in others, over the course of the past year and a half--my political thinking has changed rather drastically, as I understand some of you know, but that's not all bad), I have always had the utmost respect for you. You are ten times the father than most average men in our modern society can dream of being; and from someone so worried about the future as I, that is not a compliment given lightly.
I know that, of all the problems I expect us to see in the future, none will be contributed to in the slightest bit by any child who has been raised by you and your wife, and I think that is clear enough in what could be said of my opinion of Michael Wong the individual.

Good to see you again, Marina. My opinion echoes Mike's in that despite all of our differences of opinion, I do find that I sort of like you. Welcome back, Duchess.The Duchess of Zeon wrote:Ladies and gentlemen of the Senate, I do believe that this discussion has reached a point of irrelevance.
