Senate floor

Proposal 1

Each stream represented shall receive 1 senator

Aye

aye

october elections i would like to see streams get more based on the followers count.

Aye for now. Perhaps ultimately some streams oughta have 2 Senators — LGBTQ has 1200+ followers for instance. Can revisit.

Aye

aye

Don't listen to OP. He doesn't know what he's talking about. The Senate doesn't exist yet. And even if it did, the things they're voting on aren't even its job. Once it does exist, the Senate will only vote on foreign affairs not internal matters.

Proposal 3

In order for a stream to be represented, it must have an active membership (at least 3 different users posting per week)

Aye

aye

Aye. Sounds good. Hopefully any stream big enough to meet Senate criteria clears this requirement easily.

Aye.

aye

What stream do you represent?

Rup

RUP is connected to this stream and can’t have a senate seat.

Proposal 2

In order for a stream to be represented, it must have a minimum of 50 followers

Aye

aye

Nay. Agreed with Surly, They oughta have at least 100 followers IMO. Maybe even 150 or 200.

It really should be higher. Like 100 people.
Very small streams don't need Senate representation.
Abstain

nay

The biggest party, rup, only has 35 members, making it impossible to have any party represented or existing

that’s not what the senate is. the senate is representing streams not parties.

50 followers total, not 50 followers that participate in Presidents.

Proposal 4

In order for a stream to be represented, that stream must hold an election of some kind to choose the senator. This may be a general election, or an election by moderators, or by owners, etc.

abstain

Nay. Some streams may only have 1 person interested in serving. This should be worked out internally based on the stream’s situation, sections may not be required.

Nay.
Some of my streams might be interested in sending representatives (if one of their members are active on this stream) but none of them want to hold elections. Let each stream's owners decide how to select Senators.

Nay

I think having elections would be the best course of action if possible. However, I don’t think there’s enough people who would actually be willing to get involved in the RP for elections to really make sense outside of the very largest streams.

nay

EAM is holding elections for senator, correct?

For the October elections, yes. Until then, I appoint you as EAM’s Senator.

oh cool

Under who's power?

op owns EAM

Okay, stop, the Senate does not exist.

Maybe it does and maybe it doesn't.
If you actually could find the CURRENT rup constitution you might be suprised as to what's in it.

Additional proposal

One person can only represent one stream at one time.

what i said for the first proposal.

Aye. Can’t have some Senators be more equal than others with more voting rights.

Aye

Aye.

nay

The Senate doesn't even exist yet, bodoh.
