Ah, so they're not cumulative.

Nominate Myself for MOS

[Ardas]

((Well, that makes my proposal pointless. If I knew it will be penalized like that beforehand I would have not proposed it. Now I have to go back on it. Cross it out. Besides, aren't voting powers assigned by constitution?))

[Azthor]

Order the construction of ten rank I ships and recall the Senate fleet. If the Senate fleet does not turn over, they are to be immediately destroyed by Terra's own fleet.
Have the Terran military arrest any representatives who do not comply. Mars is asked to abide by that decision; should it not, it is to be placed under orbital blockade, but not bombarded.

"It would seem we have made a profound mistake in trusting those representatives to safeguard the well-being of humanity. Whatever their merits be, it is clear those are no statesmen, but mere popular idols, unfit to rule a country, even less so lead the vanguard of mankind's future. With those best interests of our species and, particularly, Terra, for Terra is all but our home, and home still to most of mankind, in mind, I am forced to dissolve this Senate and institute martial law, grieve me as it may"

"As Terra's Senator and sole controller of its military, soldiers, I order you to arrest any of the former Senators who do not abide by this new resolution. Those who abide will be reinstated once this legislative body is deemed fit to resume its activities, meanwhile, another emergency government will take place. You shall be allowed to stand at this chamber, but shall do so under restrictions until then"

"Governor of Mars, due to the nature of your position, your situation is different. Governorships will not be revoked, and you will maintain control of Mars, as long as you too abide by this new resolution, otherwise, the due measures will have to be taken"

Dissolve the Senate. Instate a provisory autocracy with autonomous governorships.

[Ghazkull]

((OOCLY yes ICLY no. I mean what differentiates a Senator from a Rep the moment the Senator gives all control over his colony to the Senate? Nothing at all. With the establishment of a Unified Treasury you are killing off all possibilities of Planetary Defense Forces. And even if a Senator sets up a Military for some reason, why should he conquer a richer planet, if he could conquer a poorer one just the same for the votes? In other words a unified Treasury kills off many aspects of the game  and i will thus penalize it.))

[10ebbor10]

((Anyway, why the sudden coup? Not that you'd get away with it, ship construction is not instantaneous and I doubt that the Senate would not act upon such a massive build-up of forces.))

[Ghazkull]

ship production is not instantaneous the first few ships were to make the whole thing faster and colony ships are also instantaneous but military fleets take one turn to produce.

[10ebbor10]

That is what I intended to say, but anyway.

[Playergamer]

"Why am I not surprised?"

Doe steps out of the shadows.

"It always happens. Power, power corrupts."

Doe walks to the Senate room doors.

"You may want to reconsider this."

He opens the doors, and a squad of armed men walk in.

(Probably OOC. Probably.)

[GiglameshDespair]

((what.))

[Azthor]

((*laughs as he feeds the flames of discord* that should get us some activity))

[10ebbor10]

((*laughs as he feeds the flames of discord* that should get us some activity))

Well, not really. It really all depends whether Terra stays loyal to the Senate or not. Whoever comes favored out of that roll wins.

[Ghazkull]

vor all your OOCly needs:

Mandate OOC

[Playergamer]

(Lol, FLAMES OF DISCORD. But seriously, that was mostly to give myself a reason to run for the ships screaming "THE SKY IS FALLING")

[Nirur Torir]

((Vote me for Mandateless Senator and I'll remember to vote.))
