Senate Thread

[Alexi Hesith]

As a result of discussions held between leaders of the Imperial Sovereignty and the NR military leaders involved with this thread

The Battle of Bestine

I am arranging a Senate debate. The broad parameters of which are as follows. The deabte will be an emergency session called to deal with the military crisis on Bestine. There will be two factions involved. One will be calling for a full military response to remove the Sovereignty from Bestine, the other (of which I shall be a member) will be caling for moderation. It is possible that a third group may emerge depending upon the people involved.

The outlined course of the thread shall be as follows:

1. Lion El'Jonson, as the senior NR officer involved with Bestine, shall submit a proposal to the Defence Committee that will call for the release of military forces for an expanded operation over Bestine. The committee discussions will be kept brief so that we can...

2. Bring the matter before the full Senate. The Defence Committee will move for the deployment of forces to Bestine. The motion shall be debated.

3. The end result will be that some military force is deployed to Bestine. How large a force and with what orders shall be determined by the debate.

All Senators are welcome to join the debate. We are also looking for someone to put the case for full deployment and people to be on the Defence Committee. The thread shall begin on the 1st August. All those who are interested should post here before then. Any questions may also be posted here.

Thareena is in.

I'm very about the other Senate threads.

I'm your man, Alexi.

[Nagal Aursoni]

Well since this involves the navy I supose Kuatii ship builders are involved. I'm in.

[Alexi Hesith]

Excellent. Any other takers?

[Alexi Hesith]

Is that a no then? Oh well. The thread will begin shortly and will be open to any other Senators after a certain point. PM me.

I shall contact the three of you with plans.

PLease be patient whilst I get the military types to post.

[Lion El' Jonson]

Hello there. I'll be posting in a second.

[Alexi Hesith]

Lion got your message, but your in box is full, but no problem the questions you asked needed to be answered here anyway:

Lion, something along the lines of "So we are agreed. Admiral X will do y whilst General B does C" and so on. A full version of your plan essentially because during the meeting with the defence committee you would present a reduced and sanitised version but we want to see the whole plan.

Once you've done that I will act as narrator and present Senator Kensington. Tercer, you set up the Committee idea since you know all about that stuff and then we begin the main body of this thread. Aursori this is your bit as well.

Once the committee meeting ends I will link in you, Thareena, and my own character. Then we can begin the full Senate debate. Lion at this stage you are a spectato since you aren't a Senator you can't take the floor without and invite- but you'll be sat in a gallery off the Chamber watching and, if you like, providing analysis.

Format is fairly straight forward- past tense is preferable since that is what most of us use anyway.

Posting order will be whatever seems best for the situation. In the committee stage it would probably be Kensington asks a question, Lion answers, then someone else asks a question and Lion answers that. Senate debate would be the Speaker (no COS ha ha!)- anyone wish to NPC that?- and followed by a Senator. Then I suppose the Speaker again or possibly another Senator objecting.

Anything else? Questions, suggestions, comments?

[Senator Kensington]

Right-o. Waiting for Lion.

[Lion El' Jonson]

*Whams head on table*

My apologies for taking so long. I flew back to China, and I've been jetlagged, and getting ready for school, and...ugh...

I'm sorry. The end of summer is so depressing. I'll post.

[Telan Desaria]

I thought you just gotu OUT of China.

I am confused. either way - - - you're neglecting your war!!!!!!!

[Alexi Hesith]

Lion- don't post unless you feel up to it. I tried posting whilst half asleep once and that proved a little bit, ever so slightly, disasterous.

[Lion El' Jonson]

First day of school was crazy...I ended up with two giant holes in my schedule, and had to plug them with AP Chemistry and AP Economics.

I'm going to pull everything regarding Bestine together tonight and write a post for the strategy outline.

*Is no longer jetlagged*

[Alexi Hesith]

Hurray!

[Senator Kensington]

You guys have AP Economics? Whooo. Fancyshmancy.

[Alexi Hesith]

Lion, Lion where are you?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Thareena went ahead and posted.

[Lion El' Jonson]

I feel like an idiot now.

I've promised to post three times now, and I've broken that promise enough. I'll post as soon as I can.

Now that everything has settled down, and I don't have a cold anymore (hurrah!), I'll be back on Fans.

Once again, my sincere apologies.

~Lion~

[Alexi Hesith]

Not a problem really. I was more concerned by your inexplicable absence than by the delay.
