Speech In The Hall Of Speakers

[*Darkrob]

///Sel gave me the go ahead when he had Haskar nod to Garen. I took that as an "okay".

[*Hydra]

// Its not ok if you end up the session before giving any other involved person have their say or have any chance to reply.

[*Tomekk]

//Its still polite to wait. Is that too much to ask?

[*Darkrob]

///Then I have to ask, why did you post it? If no one can comment on the thread until you decide to come back, why did you post it?

And as I stated, "Haskar nodded to Garen and sat back to listen" is a pretty strong indicator of "go for it".

[*MimiFearthegn]

//. . .And why there are Namers in such a high profile meeting is beyond me :P//

//Selebius also previously said the plot was open to all factioneers.

[*Xndar]

((Just a quick point here:

Generally in Parliamentary Procedure, one can make a MOTION to adjourn insofar as registering their opinion that this is the direction the council should take, but that motion would have to be accepted first. Garen isn't automatically shutting down debate (nor is Darkrob), he is simply prompting a vote which the Factols or whomever is moderating the discussion could easily defer or deny for the time being if they wished to hear more debate. If the Council operates like any other legislative body, the ball would be in the court of whomever is actively facilitating debate right now (aka Selebius)))

[*Midnight]

Emila sits up she glances around at the other Dustmen and then stands up.

"Before I and my Faction casts their vote I would like to be sure I understand the situation. The representative from The Fraternity seems under the impression that the Revolutionary League are a Faction. As I understand it they are not, and that is why they are not represented here. So again to my understanding they would not be afforded any protection under this measure.

Secondly I would like it clarifying if as the representative from the Fraternity personal homes are considered Faction territory. I was always under the impression they were not so they would not be covered by the bill making this concern groundless. I await for confirmation from the representative from the Believers of The Source on these points."

She glances down at the areas occupied by the Triad representatives.

"There is the worry that this measure would limit the power of this council, but I would like to remind the honuorable representatives of The Harmonium, The Mercykillers and The Fraternity of Order that this council is the Factions all of them not just the three that make up the Triad of Order. Anything that empowers more of The Factions empowers more of the council The laws that the Triad enforce are the ones that are passed by this council, and that their potions as guardians of the law are granted by the will of the council. Recently the Triad has demonstrated it was unable to execute its role effectively. The Harmonium occupation of the The gatehouse is of particular worry to my own Faction. Whilst we would have offered aid to our allies in The Bleak Cabal we were unable to do so. The Harmonium would allow no one else into The Gatehouse."

She clears her throat.

"Members of The Triad. Recent events have shown your three Faction's incompetence and inability to work effectively together. In your clumsy and blundering occupation of another Faction's headquarters you caused far much more harm than benefit to the city. This has led my Faction to believe that The Factions and therefore by extension this council may well be better served if allowed more autonomy over their own domains, and if you wish us to side with you and vote against this it falls to you to demonstrate that these events will not be repeated, because at the moment we have very little reason to trust you to execute your duties competently and we feel we are both better equipped better inclined and better able to manage the affairs of our own headquarters."

Emila sits back down.

[*Selebius]

(( Guys- be nice to each other. It would a pity if I have to close this before it even started.

Kala made her starting speech, other players can present their opinions, speeches.

There will be no voting yet- everybody can make a statement, make a post. Godsmen, Guvners, Dusties- whoever else wants to add stuff.

In short: what Xndar said.

There are namers allowed. I want this to be player driven- the less NPCs I have to use the better (especially as I do not want to type a lot right now).

So keep it going, please.))

The Signer in charge of this meeting listens to the statements, makes sure the construct writing up the protocols works correctly then looks over the crowd, ready to let the next speaker to be heard.

[*Taurus Daggerknight]

\\ just to clarify; does this mean that Namers are permitted to speak up in this event, or just be present?

[*DarkArc]

Listening to Kala's speech, Charae kept to herself. When the Godsman was finished, the dark elf looked to Factol Nilesia org Factor Swan's Son before she would speak.
