I've renumbered the sections properly.

Wunderbar!! 

I should probably cross-post this here:

I'm glad people have been contributing to the discussion, and I feel like it's been very constructive. So thank you to all who have spoken up . And please continue to discuss if there is anything more you wish to say.

From what I've gathered on all of this, the majority think that:

1. there should be no waiting/trial time requirement to join the new Storting -- all citizens of Wintreath will automatically be joined,

2. citizens can only have voting rights suspended by a Storting 3/4 supermajority vote as stated in Article 1, Section 3, of the Storting Reformation Amendment Act,

3. voting rights should be tied directly to citizenship, so citizens can only lose voting rights by losing their citizenship, and Paragons cannot lose voting rights as they have indefinite citizenship,

4. some sort of code of conduct should be included in the new Storting's procedural rules (and not this act) meant to be more as behavioral guidelines than a way to punish, and the current UH should be the one to implement it,

5. a provision should be added into the new procedural rules stating the Speaker (or all officers) will have the ability to lock Storting threads for a specified amount of time if the discussion is getting out of hand to let people cool off.

I believe if all of the above are true, then the current draft of the Storting Reformation Amendment Act is good to go.

I wonder what all of you think, seeing as how you may/may not be part of the "majority". Surely we also ought to add a procedural rules section when April rolls around.

It's time to determine whether we will commission a vote or table the bill without one, seeing as how we've run out of enough stalled time to extend debate. However, I wanted to note that if we are desperate to include our new Skrifa in the debate/vote, given the impeding runoff election news, we could always

vote down the bill or table it, and then reintroduce it and expedite it right after the elections are over.

...I agree with Barnes.

*slinks back into the shadows.* 

I motion to vote.

And suggest we hold off on actually voting till later.

4. The Speaker shall open the vote no later than five days after the motion to vote has passed.

Hm, I guess it can be done.

I second the motion to vote and hold off like North said.

Alright, I'll motion to "conveniently forget about the vote" until the end of Tuesday

Like, I third the motion to vote? 

Alright, I'll motion to "conveniently forget about the vote" until the end of Tuesday

And it'll be nice to have a forgetful Barnes for a change...

You may very well think that, I couldn't possibly comment.

LIKE x 1,000,000,000,000,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uh. Why was Pengu able to post in the topic?

Anyway, I'm here now.

I think Pengu was technically in the UH for like half a day until Wintermoot realized it was actually a tie.

And, @Barnes, let's do this.

Congratulations Laurentus, for your reelection! I'm sure you'll do great here the rest of this term.
(side note: seconding what Gerrick said, Pengu received Underhusen masking before the vote was recounted, so he was able to post. @Pengu, my condolences; you were a wonderful candidate as well, and I hope this doesn't discourage you from pursuing prominent roles in the Open Assembly if it's passed.)

I seriously doubt he will stop pursuing prominent roles. I look forward to many more tough election battles with him and Weiss.
