Message | We still support this. |
Date | 04:29:57, July 20, 2007 CET | From | Liberal Party of Malivia | To | Debating the Unmuzzle the Jawa |
Message | The Liberal party would probably support an increase in the number of bills per year, although 12 seems to be an excessive number. |
Date | 23:04:27, July 20, 2007 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Unmuzzle the Jawa |
Message | We added the drop in the accumulated limit to counterbalance the increase. |
Date | 04:03:30, July 21, 2007 CET | From | Supporters of Science in Design (IP) | To | Debating the Unmuzzle the Jawa |
Message | Wait. Wouldn't the second portion limit the number one would have to 5? |
Date | 20:12:08, July 21, 2007 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Unmuzzle the Jawa |
Message | Yes, the current makeup of the bill means parties are limited to a 5 proposal "bank" and when they use any they will be replaced 1 per month back up to 5. This keeps people from flooding the Jawa with bills at once, but permits a party to submit plenty of bills over time. (OOC: if you log in once a day you can submit all 5 proposals and have them replaced in full before you log in again the next day) |
Date | 01:01:58, July 22, 2007 CET | From | United Malivia | To | Debating the Unmuzzle the Jawa |
Message | We will support this bill when it is put to vote. |
Date | 02:40:52, July 22, 2007 CET | From | Liberal Party of Malivia | To | Debating the Unmuzzle the Jawa |
Message | The personal quota is fine at ten. We'll have to negotiate to the number of proposals/year. The Liberal Party will settle for 8. |
Date | 19:21:06, July 22, 2007 CET | From | Supporters of Science in Design (IP) | To | Debating the Unmuzzle the Jawa |
Message | We would support the Liberal Party's compromise. |
Date | 15:37:24, July 23, 2007 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Unmuzzle the Jawa |
Message | We would support 10 per yr with a 5 limit. We prefer a lower overall limit to prevent the Jawa from being slammed with dozens of bills at once. |
Date | 21:32:10, July 23, 2007 CET | From | Liberal Party of Malivia | To | Debating the Unmuzzle the Jawa |
Message | I'll settle for 8 and 8. |
Date | 01:08:10, July 24, 2007 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Unmuzzle the Jawa |
Message | agreed. |
Date | 01:15:25, July 24, 2007 CET | From | Supporters of Science in Design (IP) | To | Debating the Unmuzzle the Jawa |

Message | Why not 10-10? |
Date | 09:45:39, July 24, 2007 CET | From | Supporters of Science in Design (IP) | To | Debating the Unmuzzle the Jawa |
Message | Should RSM make a 10-10 bill, we will support that. |
