Before we do that, one thing:

QuoteOkay, the change sounds good to me.  I'll make it: "3. No person shall hold more seats in the Cosă than thirty times the total number of seats in the Cosă divided by two times the number of ballots cast for the Cosa in the most recent General Election, rounded up to the next integer."

Under this formula, the seat limit in a 20-seat Cosă is 4 if turnout dips below 100, which as far as I could tell is the normal case. This has to do with how the limit strictly rounds up. Perhaps the following would future-proof things somewhat:

Quote"3. No person shall hold more seats in the Cosă than thirty times the total number of seats in the Cosă divided by two times the number of ballots cast for the Cosa in the most recent General Election, rounded up to the next non-zero integer."

EDIT: An as a side note, if you insist on moving voting system minutiae into the OrgLaw to make them harder to edit in the future, I expect we could just as well move the 20-seat Cosă in there, instead of continuing the "200 by default unless otherwise specified by law" dealio. In fact, I insist.

I got the email and would like one as well. (Does it matter if the person you got into Talossa is a half-assed citizen who is seldom active on Witt?)

Maybe we just set aside the party standards thing and put it in the CRL right away?

EDIT: Sorry, waiting to hear from primary stakeholders is a good idea.

Let's get this to the CRL urgently. Like, next 48 hours urgently. @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP your input is sorely required at this last stage.

Hmmm, I am glad I checked in then, XPB, and thank you for your transparent response. Good luck with your extra-Talossan constraints and I hope you can return to fuller attention earlier than August. I must say with the personal challenges mentioned by the Culture Minister and your report here it is looking like the government is largely manned by the Seneschal currently.

Not unprecedented but not ideal and also quite stressful I can imagine.

Just saw the email. Looking forward to getting my Patriotic Award.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 08:41:51 AMOk, fair enough.  I apologize for not reading carefully enough to see that post!  I don't quite see why it's still better to separate News and Governmental, but I'm happy to defer to you in that regard.

To be fair, I do think we should revisit the cultural mailing list later if we can strike a balance regarding the issues I raised there. And for what regards separating News and Governmental, I mostly just outlined why it's been written this way; at the end of the day, it probably does make sense to just merge them.

This has been laggy in no small part to my peripheral activities.  I remain fairly constrained by other work likely till mid August 2026.

Since I think the underlying bill is a pretty good one, it seems like a good idea to provide a chance for it to pass into law.  If you think people are likely to vote against it or abstain because you're the sponsor and because you were condemned by the Ziu for your predatory behavior, then we should have an available version that might actually pass.

Ok, fair enough.  I apologize for not reading carefully enough to see that post!  I don't quite see why it's still better to separate News and Governmental, but I'm happy to defer to you in that regard.
