Dwarf4explosive, why do you change your vote on such an important issue?  Tell me your concerns that I might assuage them.

Well people are still discussing the vote, and we need to leave time for blackmail, negotiating and the like (I expect due to vote changes that someone is buying loyalty or rping someone into changing their mind). Would be all for time advancing, once the current issue is finished.

Dwarf4explosives (+10) Proposes a law (The Dwarven Culture act)
Dwarves are noble creatures, and as such, their hard work should be honored. If done properly, this area can also serve as a simple overview of past acts.
The Dwarven Culture Act:
A long hallway shall be dedicated to historical events. (Important/valuable) artifacts shall be put behind glass walls. Sieges shall be marked with two goblin corpses, snatchers with one (again, behind glass). Important dwarven historical figures shall also have a slab here. Large engineering projects shall be marked with either miniaturized versions, or small lava or water circulation systems if these are deemed to unwieldy to miniaturize.This hallway will present these items in chronological order.

What a great idea! The great hallway of glory would certainly inspire the generations to come, and will help to record our glorious history. Just imagine the beautiful halls of history, where each period, each important event will be represented by the relevant artwork, historical items or their replicas! Where the very same enemies who once came against us, with their weapons flaring, are held in eternal suspention with the very same weapons, looking at the offsprings of their victors!
Building such a museum and gradual expansion of it can become our great megaproject, and it will greatly inspire peasantry to hone their skills to perfection.

My reasons are of a rather sensitive nature.

So, the revised and final version of my proposed law, rewritten slightly to lay the concerns of other Council Members to rest:

The Dwarven Culture Act:
A long hallway shall be dedicated to historical events. (Important/valuable) artifacts shall be put behind glass walls. Sieges shall be marked with a single whip, snatchers with a sword (again, behind glass). Important dwarven historical figures shall also have a slab here. Large engineering projects shall be marked with either miniaturized versions, or small lava or water circulation systems if these are deemed to unwieldy to miniaturize. This hallway will present these items in chronological order. Unruly dwarves will be sent into this hallway to have the importance of obeying their tasks impressed upon them (i.e. dwarves that throw tantrums will be sent in here to cheer them up).

[neblime]

This revised law I can approve.  I shall change my vote.
For:3
against:2
Now why may you not explain your reasons for disagreeing with my own proposal, sensitive as they are, so that I may amend it in a similar manner?

[Dwarf4Explosives]

After careful reconsideration, I have deemed the issue of the Dignified Burial Act to be too important to be influenced by outside issues. Therefore, this act is now once again likely to succeed (for: 3, against: 2).

Teledwarf Towntunnel (+14) Acclaims Cain Tongstell
For:1
Against:0

Dear Friends!
On behalf of all of us here I would like to thank one lowly peasant, who shows great devotion and willpower at these turbulent times.
He was the first to feel the pain of the loss, when his child was forcefully taken and his wife froze to death. Nevertheless he was first to offer his own bed to the wounded peasants after the first ambush.  Even without any reward and recognition he constantly strives to help our settlement by designing buildings and structures. And what beautiful structures those are! He is inspired and thoughtful and diligent. I am of course talking about Cain Tongstell. We surely need to reward him for his devout service, and to encourage such persistance in others. Do you agree with proclamations of his awesome service for all the peasantry to hear?

Indeed he has worked diligently, seeking no recognition or reward other than the satisfaction that comes with hard work and frugality.

Ah yes, We still mourn the loss of his wife and child. Of course, Me and Domas are now his only family. We must look out for each other in the time of need. We can see that the loss of his family had severe impacts on him but he doesn't give up! I shall try to guide him through these hard times along with Domas, But it seems he can hold his own. I approve of this acclamation and hope he will be better soon.

I guess one of the things we need is an overview of the current votes:

The Dignified Burial Act:
All citizens, no matter what their social status, upon death which preserves the body in a recoverable state/location, must be buried in at least a 2x2 stone room (rough-hewn stone is acceptable) with a coffin or casket.  (slabs and other additional furniture are not legally required)
Any citizen found guilty of directly obstructing the burial of a deceased citizen shall be sentenced to have the corpse in question placed inside their house or bedroom until it rots into a skeleton.

For:3
Against:2

I feel happy that all these matters are proceeding in a timely fashion. After all, there is need for efficiency.
A matter that may need to be addressed in the future is the effectiveness of our defenses.

[neblime]

Rest assured, as we improve our industry (which is our next focus is it not?) improved equipment for our soldiers will result, excellent idea with the vote summary.

Spoiler: OOC (click to show/hide)

About the dwarven culture act, isn't it more of a labour proposal, as we're going to build something, and there won't be punishments for anything or anything like that?
Wouldn't change the outcome (at least not at this rate), I just thought, what exactly will I put in the law section for it when(if) it goes through, the specific items which represent specific things?

I thank you for your praise, but I am simple doing as I should, as you do when you go to battle, or when a doctor treats a patient, or as my wife did that fateful day. While my wife's death is plagues me still but I will not let it become my own. I hope I can continue to be of service in future.
