    [Proposal] Hostile Entities and Persons Act

    I guess my concern is that this law, as passed, could result in citizens losing their citizenship here based on the actions of an outside party to which they may not have been privy, without Lazarus actually agreeing to that. I can think of some silly and serious ways for this to manifest. In no...

    [Discussion] Assembly Procedure Act Amendment (September 2018)

    As I said, I have first hand knowledge that it does. Take this as y'all saying "let's split up to search the creepy house" and me screaming at the television "noooooo can't you hear that creepy music playing noooooo".

    [Discussion] Citizenship Act - Vote - Threshold for a Waiver

    I voted "indifferent" because I don't support this regardless of vote threshold.

    [Discussion] Citizenship Act (October 2018)

    Second verse, same as the first! Acutally it's completely different from the first. C'est la vie! So neither of these clauses is outright objectionable, it's just not really clear what they mean. What are the eligibility requirements of citizenship? Are they the things they had to disclose...

    [Discussion] Citizenship Act (October 2018)

    Sorry for the delay on my end, life's been a bit I think the wording on this could be improved: For Section 1, I've added a mention of residency as well as citizenship; this would allow us to reference residents Alright, so I have some concerns about clauses 3-7 of this section, which I...

    [Discussion] Assembly Procedure Act Amendment (September 2018)

    I think this is getting silly. I have first hand experience with how these things get out of hand, and you can see it starting to happen right now. If you allow something like "synonyms", you're going to get people voting in other languages, some of which the Speaker may understand and some of...

    [Discussion] Criminal Code Act (September 2018)

    I guess, but NS courts really don't have the capacity to compel testimony even with that. Like "Oh no, I'm in NS jail, guess I'll chill in literally any other region for a while." And that's assuming they're even convicted of contempt, for which charges would have to be filed and then heard by...

    [Discussion] Citizenship Act (October 2018)

    They don't need to have committed a crime in lazarus for forum administration to ban them, and someone who's done something like that should be banned without question. It's not necessary to address their political citizenship, since administratively banned people can't access the forum to apply...

    [Proposal] Criminal Powers Amendment (September 2018)

    I agree, and I'm envisioning that being described in regular law rather than mandatical amendment. One of the parts of my planned court amendment involves actually explicitly prohibiting the court from exercising any of its powers without someone first bringing a case to it, which I think will...

    [Discussion] Criminal Code Act (September 2018)

    Alrighty, here we go in full. I approach laws, and particularly criminal codes, from the perspective of "If Mall joined this region, how could he twist things to work out in his advantage? How would he get away scot-free and make us look silly with what we've written? How could our courts or...

    [Proposal] Criminal Powers Amendment (September 2018)

    Yes, I think I agree with this take. When the only use of the delegate's power to remove someone is defined as "regional security", you end up with an incentive to craft ridiculous justifications in order to meet that standard... or you ignore it and ban people just because you think they...

    [Discussion] Criminal Code Act (September 2018)

    I have several thoughts but until quoting is fixed I'm struggling with getting them to show up properly. <_< One quick one though, I think Espionage is too open. Under that definition, the Delegate releasing information from a private executive area to the Assembly would be espionage. I...

    [Discussion] Citizenship Act (October 2018)

    augh post eaten by forum. Trying to respond to NR's post on the last page about denying cit to predators etc. "I don't think you're necessarily right there; if admins ban someone from the forum for the behaviors you mention, they wouldn't be able to get citizenship since they'd have no way to...

    [Proposal] Regional Currency Act - Feather

    I still haven't really seen a solid argument for why this is needed (aka, why we can't just start using the currency without legislating it first), but since others don't seem to have the same concern, I do have some suggestions if we're looking at passing something along these lines. I don't...

    [Discussion] Court Nominees Question Thread

    I'm not generally thrilled with it, honestly. In general I think defining procedures in the law is problematic - the law is generally pretty inflexible and it's extremely hard to account for needed variations. For example, people often want to write in strict deadlines. "The court will issue a...
