Walshington Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Sad to see this doesn't include the only red sphere alliance that matters, SRA. :( God bless ya for noticing. The Screaming Red Asses were indeed offered a spot in this sphere of unity, but after discussions with an NPO representative decided that it wasn't something we wished to sign. Our thought was that either: 1) We just let democracy take it's course, and let the chips fall where they may. Whomever gets elected, gets elected. If we do not like what they do, we elect someone else, leave the sphere, or deal with it. Y'know -- embrace democracy . OR 2) If there is a desire to control the Red Senate to assure representation of all, we adopt a plan wherein each of the five Red alliances automatically get a seat: NPO, Invicta, SRA, KofN, and one from the Die Linke Bloc. This level of control would assure that all alliances are represented equally in senate decisions and ensure cooperation -- it takes three to pass a vote. This apparently garnered no traction. The current set up, to us, seemed only to assure an NPO voting majority in the senate in exchange for eliminating problems that seemed rather unlikely to occur, in our estimation. That said, we appreciated the chance to be a part of this, even though we declined. NPO has had the voting majority in the Red Senate since we can remember, and so far we have not had an issue. Screaming Red Ass members will continue to exercise their right to vote for the candidates they wish to represent them, regardless of AA, and expect that if they gain enough votes, that member will be present on the Red Senate, regardless of AA. The Red Team can expect us to abide peacefully with the the decisions made by the Red Senate, whether our candidate gains that seat or not. Seems like a reasonable enough position from my vantage point -- if it was perceived as "not willing to work together" by our Red Team cohorts, that is unfortunate. I think we're actually pretty easy to work with, unless "easy to work with" means "agree with our plan without question." o/ Red Team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pansy Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 This just ensures NPO can do what it deems best for itself no matter what, all Reavers will be adopting another Sphere that more embraces the will of the inhabitants.

Thrash Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) good to see this posted.. To those who think this is NPO exerting control of red, get a grip. While there's no love lost between us, I hardly see some dastardly deed being done by them as it would affect them also.

Walshington Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 good to see this posted.. To those who think this is NPO exerting control of red, get a grip. While there's no love lost between us, I hardly see some dastardly deed being done by them as it would affect them also. I am not saying this is dastardly. I am saying that by signing this, you are agreeing to guarantee therm the majority vote in the Red Senate. They are not exerting control -- you are ceding control to them via treaty. It WILL most certainly affect them -- by ensuring they control each and every senate vote. If I am wrong here, please correct me -- but did you not just sign a treaty guaranteeing them a majority in the Red Senate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrash Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Did they not also come to us to see how we wanted to vote on the proposals? Yeah, thought so. Nothing is different from the arrangement we had before, except now we have to talk to each more often to figure out which crap to vote on. But, feel free to put your tin foil hat on and think that something bad is going to happen to everyone on Red except NPO. You were invited, you declined. If you had specific reasons for declining, you should have made people aware of it and your concerns could be alleviated.

SirWilliam Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Since he won't bother I'll go ahead and answer your question, Walshington: They did. :) You're strong-willed so I don't need to tell you this but ignore the passive-aggressiveness, you're doing what's right by you and that's allllll that matters.
