New amendment: [00010]. [Official Game Start]: An amendment allowing this forum game to officially commence. To start things off right proper.

(Because I refuse to regard any votes as official until I see an amendment stating that votes are now in fact official)
If you refuse that, then no one can vote to official game start. >:)

Well once the amendment passes, all votes(including those previously posted) will then be considered official. Until then, this game is running strictly unofficially.

"Special Privileges" includes, but is not limited to, the granting of veto privileges to those bearing a Pony avatar, or the removal of personhood from all bearers of a Troll avatar.

Quick, someone make an amendment for the upper limit of running amendments at a time. :p
At this rate, we'll be too busy with 50 amendments before a single one is passed.

Vote for: [00010]

*ahem*
We, the people of the united site of Bay12 have existed for a long time without any higher powers other than the administrators, the great Toady and Threetoe. This is perhaps a unique achievement, having a site this large, but with only two men presiding over law. However, on this very day, a law attempting to break and unbalance this group of equals, no man or woman superior to nor inferior to another, has dare been proposed! People, we are united as a flat society, where prestige and fame do not tag in like a wet dog from the rain a break in fairness; we are united as a flat society, where everyone has the ability to talk and not be subject to negative pressure. We are united here, and as this phrase has been repeated many times in the history of humankind, here it is presented again: United we  shall stand, divided we shall fall! Unless the five hundred sixty forth law is prevented from raising its hackles in the Parliment ever again, we shall fall together. Are you going to head into the night of inequality without a fight? My companion senators to whom I ask; stand strong and show once more the power of fairness, justice, the power of the same — and Bay Twelve itself shall thank you for keeping its values.
Thank you.

Vote against : [564 and 564b]

((I was going to write for 564, but writing against is easier...))

I shall sum up my policy as follows:
ANYTHING GOES UNLESS THERE'S AN AMENDMENT AGAINST IT, A FORUM RULE AGAINST IT, OR THE CONSTITUTION IS AGAINST IT.

Proposal:

The Plaintext Amendment and Laws Act, no 4294
WHAT THIS ACT DOES: Reduces confusion and increases precision of voting, cutting down on paperwork and clerical errors.
  - All amendments and laws to be passed from the lagalization of this act henceforth shall be called by their plaintext name AND their number, without exceptions.
  - Any votes or legal papers without both the name and the number shall be rendered void. Said votes and legal papers may not be voided if they were submitted before the passing of this act.
  - The plaintext and the number must be clearly and legibly stated, and shall not be altered or ciphered, or any other method, to be illegible by any circumstances.

*'Plaintext' is understood as normal English.

Due to conflicts with 4294 and 4834, if either passes, the other shall be removed from voting.
