DISCUSSION : Are you sure you want a REVOLUTION ?

[Pandemoniak]

This constitution is not an amendment, but would make a passage from the Second United Nations Organization ot the Third United Nations Organization.

Main changes from the last Constitution :

• Changing of Names : Committees instead of Directorates, etc...
• Creation of Vice-Presidents of Commities, so that the game invite more players
• Bill of Rights replaced by the UN Charter of Human Rights

I may have forgotten some

Preamble

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,

Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,

Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between factions,

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

Whereas Member Bases have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,

Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,

Now, Therefore the General Assembly of the Peacekeepers of the United Nations declares this Constitution as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping the Declaration of Human Rights constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member Bases themselves and among the peoples of other territories.

Alinea 1. Purpose:
The Court is constituted to rule upon: contested disputes involving legal interpretation, validity of polls, violations of the Constitution, or any other legal dispute involving the game.

Alinea 2. Construct of the Court:
Alinea 2a. Size of Court:
The Court is composed of five Justices. Each Justice is to to be elected by the people.
Alinea 2b. Terms in office:
There is no limit to the number of terms a Justice may serve. Each Justice serves a term of two months. All appointments and re-appointments must be approved by a majority vote of the public.
Alinea 2c. Senior Justice:
At the beginning of each case, the complainant is to select a 'Senior Justice', who will be responsible for ensuring that a report is published for each decision made by the court, showing the rationale behind the decision. If the report is not provided, this may be grounds for an appeal. The Senior Justice will also preside over any hearings before The Court.
Alinea 2d. Other Governmental Posts:
A Justice may serve in other governmental posts, but may not serve as Commissioner or Alpha Talent while a serving Justice.

Alinea 3. Case Structure:

Alinea 3b. Rulings:
All rulings are immediately official and final except where appeals are granted.
Alinea 3c. Appeals:
Appeals may be granted if there are grounds to believe that the constitution has not been applied properly. Any citizen directly involved in the case may make an application for an appeal.

Alinea 3d. Injunctions:
The Court cannot stop the game to make a decision without a 2/3 vote amongst the people. In case of an emergency due to timing of a turnchat and poll of the populace, the Court may halt the game for 24 hours, but only by unanimous vote of the Court and only if a specific case has been presented to them that must be decided prior to the turnchat. In the emergency case, the Court would immediately have to present a 24 hour poll to the people for their approval of the Injunction. If not approved by the time of the poll's closure, the game immediately resumes where it was before.
Alinea 3e. Case Presentation:
The Court cannot act on any issue until a citizen of the nation brings forth an Issue to The Court. Issues to The Court should be posted publicly and must involve a dispute that the court is empowered to rule upon.

[Cedayon]

I read through most of it, but skimmed parts...

An interesting idea, if you're aiming to encourage new players (or get old ones involved again)... but would it really make much of a difference to have more offices? We're already shorthanded with 2 governorships (1 if TKG takes Aurillion) open to any willing & warm body, yet the response is somewhat small.

Also, what are the exact differences between this and the current? I can't be the only one who doesn't want to read the whole thing

[Pandemoniak]

The Vice-Presidents can take place of the President so that we dont run of people when there are impeachments and resignations, more people would be able to play the game even if not able to connect every day or so. Ie : It is more likely that two players have the time to make two halves of a governorship, than one player has the time to make the full governorship.

[Cedayon]

I agree that the additional posts would mean we deal more easily with impeachments/resignations... but do we have the people to fill those additional posts?

[Pandemoniak]

I think so. I think many of the "Regular" citizens of the UN Peacekeepers dont have the timeto handle a full-seat of governor or director : people like Lucky22, Tassadar, maybe, probably many others, dont want to run for full seat office because they dont log in often enough. If their commitee/governorship consists of several delegates, I think they'll be more likely to participate, knowing they wont be troubling the game by their "only ponctual" visits.

[Cedayon]

Fair enough on the people that would likely fill such positions.


A question about this bit, though:

Originally posted by Pandemoniak
Alinea 7 : Directors must poll all major decisions, such as deciding what science advance to pursue, what to build in a city, or where to place the workers in a particular city. They are only given the right to act without polling in case of emergency during a turnchat.

I think this is in the current Constitution too, or something like it... obviously we don't observe this fully, in that I've never seen or made a poll for build orders or worker placement. The two polls I did do on terraforming were voted on by all of about 3-4 people, telling me that the people didn't really care so long as I acted reasonably and gave them time to dispute my orders before the turnchat. Does your proposal include the "reinstatement" of polling every "little" thing?

[Maniac]

So if I get this right these are mainly name changes, and the right to appoint an unelected second-in-command? Though vice-presidents would of course be nice, I have also my doubts about whether the people to fill thos seats are available. Before we change our constitution, I think we should do a survey of all our citizens, asking them questions about their degree of activeness (posting, voting in polls...) and whether they would be interested in an office if they don't get a load of work by it.

[Voltaire]

I have to echo Maniac’s sentiments; we are already shorthanded as it stands. First we should attempt to resolve the issue of the lack of interest in government positions, then attempt to work to solve the problems within the current system which we have. The current situation doesn’t warrant scrapping the constitution and replacing it with a new one. If we do receive more interest in the director/governor positions the influx of candidates could all be accommodated as we grow and create new regions. Nevertheless I find the proposed constitution to be unworkable under the current circumstances since we lack the necessary manpower to fill all the positions. So in short, let us wait and see.

[Method]

correct. not only do we not have enough people, but i don't like the name change, and you used a quote from civ3, something that is not allowed around here, my friend

[GeneralTacticus]

No. There is absolutely no need for us to create a new constitution, and as Maniac and TKG have said, this would not improve anything over the original.

[Archaic]

Agreed with Maniac, TCG & GT. No need for this whatsoever.

[Pandemoniak]

I just suppressed the examples, thus there is more place for interpretation, making almost legal this kind of actions.

Originally posted by ManiacBefore we change our constitution, I think we should do a survey of all our citizens, asking them questions about their degree of activeness (posting, voting in polls...) and whether they would be interested in an office if they don't get a load of work by it.

This is also what this thread should be used for. I think this DG is really limited by the fact that we always have the same players -- no offence meant to all of you.
... And about not liking the names, they're all real names from the UNO.

This is precisely what this constitution is for : preventing the lack of people in government, so that everyone actually plays : Precident and their Vice Presidents, Local Representative and their assistants. Making the Governor job easier will sure invite more players. I'm positive many people feel concerned about the game and would like to be more involved with it, but just looking at a sheet of Governor orders would destroy any good will of helping...

[Pandemoniak]

And I forgot to notify this change as well : instead of "people cant run for a fourth term" I put "people cant nominate themselves after three terms, but they still can be nominated by someone else", to refrain from iron hand on a seat, but to keep in contact with someone considered worthy enough.

[GeneralTacticus]

When you already don't have enough people, asking for more to come and help isn't the answer. We could always set up a system where Directors and Govenrors can employ assistants as is, without changing the constitution.

[Pandemoniak]

It is an answer, since they are more to share the chores and thus awill prbably be more likely to join.
And amending the constitution over and over again is just plain stupid, sometimes the whole thing needs to be rewritten or some things are forgottten.
This also the purpose of this new constituttion : point at whats not working, whats useless, what has been amended but is not in the current constitution, etc...

[GeneralTacticus]

Why are people more likely to join simply because we need more people? Just because you give them a job doesn't mean they will necessarily do it; I refer you to Diablero and dmm125.

And the main reason why the current constitutionhasn't had all the amendments applied appears to be that DBTS ha sbeen lazy. What has that got to do with eh old constitution?

And finally, why would we need to amend the constitution to have Directors take on assistants? All that would be required is someone willing to help.

Oh, and I consider this to be frankly ridiculous:

or where to place the workers in a particular city.

Worker placements are hardly a very major decision,e xcept for small abses, which rarely have much choice anyway. Forcing us to poll worker placements will just lead to the whole forum being clogged with polls.

Because their job would take less time, so more people who have not a lot fo time could play.

Well, someone sure has to do the job, dont you think. If DBTS is busy elsewhere, this is no problem, but we gotta fix that crappy paper we call our "constitution". Even a crappy attempt like mine is a start.

And finally, why would we need to amend the constitution to have Directors take on assistants? All that would be required is someone willing to help.

Because anyone willing to help is not allowed to post official pollsor give orders.

Well, this is in the current constitution, I didnt change a word... When was the last time you read it, ignorant Justice and Commissioner ?
Though I agree this line is stupid. -- will edit the first post

[GeneralTacticus]

Because their job would take less time, so more people who have not a lot fo time could play.

I don't think they left for lack of time, I think it was for lack fo interest; neither of them posted anything at all to resign or say anything, just vanished.

Well, someone sure has to do the job, dont you think. If DBTS is busy elsewhere, this is no problem, but we gotta fix that crappy paper we call our "constitution". Even a crappy attempt like mine is a start.

All that needs to be done to fix it up is copy it, add the amendments, correct any spelling or grammatical errors that might eb present, and then post it. No need for such a huge reform of it.

Because anyone willing to help is not allowed to post official pollsor give orders.

Your point? The jobs that require the most work are the govenrors, and they don't ahve to post polls very often anyway. Besides I wouldn't see anything unconstiutonal about a director making somebody else's orders 'official'; they could just have them sent to them and then post them as their own, after all.

Well, this is in the current constitution, I didnt change a word...

No, it's not. Govenror's are allowed to give worker palcement orders and don't need to poll it.

When was the last time you read it, ignorant Justice and Commissioner ?

1) I'm not a Justice.

2) About 5 minutes ago, and it backs me up.

Not those two, but sure some others would like to participate but dont have the time to take a full seat. This also applies to newcomers.

Im all confused, now. This constitution is not a huge reform of the old one, it's simply a rewrital.

I agree about the possibility of director to make polls offficial, but this has to be clarified in the constitution. I think it's a nice idea that worthes to work on it.

No, it's not. Govenror's are allowed to give worker palcement orders and don't need to poll it.

Yes it is. Third paragraph of the second section : Director Branch.

In which case it contradicts itself, as it also gives Governors the right to place workers without polling.

Lets work on it for an amendment or a new consitutiton then.

When I tell you its old and crappy...

From Cedayon : Excellent, he doesn't even notice me, time to move to the next phase of my plan Huh? Oh, yeah

Seeing how often you post in the DG, I already considere you as a veteran More new people like you or WarofArt would definetely be good fun, and I dont think many will come if, like you or -Jam, they need lot of spare time to play.

The purpose of this consitution is to reduce the amount of time needed by a player to play the DG.

[GeneralTacticus]

I'd probably actually support an overhaul fot he constiution, I just dislike the language (and before you remind me that it's from the RL UN, I know, and I don't consider this a good reason to adopt it). All this stuff about 'Commitees' sounds a bit too bureacratic to me... and I don't really like the names either, I think the Directorate names are just fine as they are. We could always just adopt the C3DG method of having Directors appoint assistans for variosu tasks, which would work in a similar way to this.

[Pandemoniak]

You dont even like the "Disarmament and International Security Committee " for the Minister of War ??

And I think there is more work to do than just the assistants.

[GeneralTacticus]

Nope, because his job isn't to disarm other factions, ro even to ensure international security, merely to command our military forces to the bes tof his ability in order to achieve our aims. 'Peacekeeping Operations' is fine, IMO.

And I don't see why there would be; Being a Governor, even on your own, shouldn't take up more than an hour or two per week, so just having someone in charge of, say, terraforming, wouldn't require them to put in a huge effort.
