I motion this to vote.

Are there any seconds?

 

[McChimp]

I'd rather this didn't go to vote just yet. I've been thinking in my spare time about this. It's quite an important law and a discussion thread with no replies is not really an appropriate amount of discourse for something of this magnitude.

 

[Eldarion]

I'll withdraw my motion then. I figured since only Debussy objected and I corrected it that everyone was fine with it.

 

[Eldarion]

Added possession in.

 

[McChimp]

I'm working with NR to make this more comprehensive and to properly establish the degree of control lazarus will retain over her territories.

 

[Ellenburg#8639]

Yes, I think if we are going to have possessions and Territories there needs to be a well-defined law that covers all our basis needed to ensure we have complete control over said possessions and Territories.

 

[Eldarion]

I feel we need something in place so we can at the very least get a placeholder region organized. We can always modify or rewrite it if need be.

I think this ready to motion to vote.

 

[Eldarion]

I'll motion this to vote tomorrow, if folks are fine with it.

 

[Eldarion]

I motion this to vote. Does anyone second this?

 

[Lowe]

I second the motion.
