1. I am right that under the 2017 Organic Law, the CpI has the authority to recognize crimes at common law (Seventh Covenant) and has the sole right to impose the sentence of revocation (Twelfth Covenant).  Neither the Seventh Covenant nor Twelfth Covenant contain any provision akin to "The Ziu Shall have the power to enforce this Covenant by appropriate legislation." Which is the very line that moron Tärfă hangs his hat on.  Tärfă entire argument that the Ziu somehow gets to interpret what is cruel and unusual punishment to claim that this includes revocation of citizenship is not only stupid, it's laughable—the Org Law already allows that punishment, it is not subject to the whims of the Ziu. But keep thinking this is a wilder legal theory, Meistra. Let us not forget that you flunked out of law school. I graduated at the top of class.
 
2. The reality is that the 1997 Organic Law required a citizen to participate in an election to avoid the two-strikes rule.  Abstention counted as participation. The referendum was tied into the election. Therefore, abstaining counted as the overall number of people participating in the referendum.

3. Why did I not raise the referendum sooner? Because Miestra expressly told me not to.  She said, "but leave out the issue of the referendum[.]" If she were so confident in her position, why did she tell me to leave that out?

4. How did I handle the Fifth Covenant? I got the Fifth Covenant fixed.

5. None of you really want to take Talossa seriously.  This is akin to Model UN in school. It's a low-level larp.  The mere fact that you're all ostensibly okay with trashing civil liberties and steamrolling of a defendant because you don't like his macronational level crime is disgusting.

6. Miestra, this is at you—you're a disgusting excuse for a person. How quickly you cycle through political allies based on whether they're useful to you tells me the character of your person.  I wish nothing but the worst possible future for you.

7. Tärfă, you're just an idiot.

8. Gluc, you're also a moron. 

9. FreeDems, good luck EVER winning an election again.


I resign my seat on the Uppermost Cort, and I resign my citizenship. Talossa doesn't deserve me. Good luck playing your game. There, you can all celebrate my departure from this shitshow.

It is with regret that the Chancery recognizes the renunciation of Viteu Marcianus.

I'm not sure it's quite as clear as that.  Abstention is usually counted for things like establishing a quorum or merely indicating presence at the vote, but it's not usually counted for voting thresholds unless the vote requires a certain percentage of those "present" or the like.  The language of the OrgLaw in this instance is ambiguous to my reading: "two-thirds majority of voters participating in the referendum on the question of the amendment."

It is definitely wrong to say that abstentions always increase the denominator.  By default, abstentions are held not to affect the outcome.  This is apparent from any reading of Robert's Rules (or from watching the US House try to choose a Speaker a bit ago).  The only reason there's a question here at all is because the language of the OrgLaw describes the denominator as all voters participating in the referendum, and that's a broad concept.

She very plausibly says that she didn't want to argue with you.

I'm sure none is pleased when someone renounces his citizenship.

No I'm not. Bye

Only a wildly overinflated ego could mistake pity for celebration. Good luck in any and all your future endeavours ^^

What a fucking piss take.

For someone who seems to think this is all just a game he sure seems angry.

Okay...

On X (ex Twitter) yesterday, KoT wished a happy birthday to Viteu 🎉

That is my fault. I scheduled the happy birthdays several months ago and neglected to remove his birthday wish in the meantime.

This shows that we do forgive ! ;-)

It's not out of the question that V will be back. This isn't the first time he's stalked out of Talossa yelling how we're all scum, and Miestra in particular.
