Peacekeeping Force: Posillipo and Utrova will send naval forces to assist Loftindor in securing the sea west of Samastra from Pirates.




Log:
¤ Chip: This will commence International Assembly Biweekly Meeting One.
¤ Jon: ☑️
Kurt: Yay
¤ Chip: Kurt: I gave weeks of warning.
Kurt: I didn't mean you, don't worry Smile
¤ Chip: All decisions here will be valid decisions of the International Assembly and will be treated as so.
Kurt: Sounds good
¤ Chip: First off, I'd like you welcome you both.
¤ Chip: Thanks for showing up.
Kurt: So what will we be discussing tonight
¤ Chip: First order of business.
Kurt: Ok
¤ Chip joined the chat
¤ Chip: Sorry, my crappy internet.
¤ Chip: The Kingdom of Posillipo would like to propose the partial repeal of IAR #0009 or the Resolution on Standardized Assembly Procedure.
StanislavSoltys joined the chat
StanislavSoltys: lol is it admin only?
¤ Jon: Hello Stan
¤ Jon: No one else showed up.
StanislavSoltys: oh ok
¤ Chip: Stan: Nope, no one showed up.
StanislavSoltys: oh ok
¤ Chip: I take that back, it will be amended instead of partial repealed.
¤ Chip: We would like to replace the google docs voting with Forum Poll voting.
Kurt: Razz
Kurt: I need to read the IAR #0009
¤ Chip: Section III., Part iii. will now read: A voting poll shall be created by the Speaker.
¤ Chip: http://www.usnw.net/t947-standardized-assembly-procedure
¤ Chip: That amendment would also void Section IV..
StanislavSoltys: i agree with the repeal
¤ Chip: Some dislike for this voting method has been expressed, which is the reason for this proposal.
¤ Jon: And Section III, Part vii
Kurt: I think that those Google Docs are a good idea though, espicially if people are too lazy to get on Chatzy is my only concern
¤ Jon: Would also be voided.
¤ Chip: Correct, Jon.
Kurt: If we didn't have laziness than I would vote yes
¤ Chip: This is so we can go back to using the polls.
Kurt: My current thoughts are not really sure
StanislavSoltys: we should do another checkpoint
¤ Chip: People aren't voting because of the google docs.
Kurt: Stan: We just did one
¤ Chip: Stan: We are, it's been recently posted.
StanislavSoltys: actually have them monthly to at least try to get more activity
StanislavSoltys: l
StanislavSoltys: oh
Kurt: Chip: Yeah but Chatzy seems more out of their way though
¤ Chip: We'll most likely be doign that, but the concern right now is IAR #0009
¤ Jon: http://www.usnw.net/t1091-february-member-checkpoint
Kurt: It may encourage less voting

StanislavSoltys: btw i cant read the union announcement
¤ Chip: The current proposal on the table is the partial repeal and amending of IAR #0009, this repeal would require the repeal of sections III., part vii and the entire section IV.
Escil: IAR 9 is?
¤ Chip: It would also amend section III., part iii. to "A forum voting poll shall be created by the Speaker."
¤ Chip: Standardized Assembly Procedure: http://www.usnw.net/t947-standardized-assembly-procedure
Kurt: I'd vote yes then

Escil: D:
Escil: tha
¤ Chip: Escil: This is for an amending of it, it doesn't matter what you voted earlier.
Escil: what change exactly?
¤ Chip: What I said above.
¤ Chip: The current proposal on the table is the partial repeal and amending of IAR #0009, this repeal would require the repeal of sections III., part vii and the entire section IV. It would also amend section III., part iii. to "A forum voting poll shall be created by the Speaker."
Escil: oh I like that idea
¤ Chip: It essential gets rid of the google docs voting, which, in my opinion, has drastically slowed down voting.
¤ Jon: I'm ready to vote, not really much to discuss with this one.
Escil: BRB, when we vote I say yes,
¤ Chip: Okay, vote Y for yes, or N for no.
Escil: Y CYA

StanislavSoltys: id like the ID part, if everyone actually used skype
¤ Chip: 2-0-0 so far.
StanislavSoltys: Y
¤ Chip: 4-0-0
¤ Chip: Passed.
StanislavSoltys: Smile)
Kurt: I already said Y so I didn't know whether I should've said it again
Kurt: Sorry
¤ Chip: 5-0-0
¤ Chip: Repealed.
Kurt: Smile
¤ Chip: IAR #0011 will now be the repeal of IAR #0009
¤ Chip: Second order of business.
¤ Chip: Well, first, does anyone have a proposal or issue to discuss?
StanislavSoltys: ok
Kurt: We need to do something to make this union more active.
StanislavSoltys: yes
StanislavSoltys: but what?
¤ Chip: I'm working on a proposal for that right this second.
Kurt: I have no idea actually
¤ Jon: I'm planning a lot of stuff to do with my ministry, which is the events one.
StanislavSoltys: ok
StanislavSoltys: btw, can you change me back to associate?
StanislavSoltys: k ill be more active now
Kurt: Ok
¤ Chip: Stan: Yes.
¤ Chip: http://www.usnw.net/t72-declined-minimum-post-rule I'd like to repropose this.
Kurt: I don't think they should be as high as they are but we should have something like this
Kurt: I'd say 10, 20, 30
¤ Chip: I'd actually say that's pretty low.
¤ Chip: an Average of one post a day.
¤ Chip: and 2 times a week for observers
Escil: back?
Kurt: Yeah, since times are tough around this time of the year
¤ Chip: wb
¤ Chip: One a day is easy...
Escil: Thanx
Escil: So what's the topic now then
¤ Jon flipped a coin. The coin showed: Tails
¤ Jon: http://www.usnw.net/statistics#7
Kurt: Chip: What if people are busy enough to not be able to post for one day?
¤ Chip: It's an average.
¤ Jon: Chippy
¤ Chip: ou don't have to post every day.
¤ Jon: Nate is trying to get in but can't
¤ Chip: Yes?
Escil: Pat1 used to be active, what happened with him?
¤ Chip: I don't know why it's doing that.
Kurt: Well maybe 35, 30, 10 then?
¤ Chip: No idea.
Kurt: I think may just not want to be in here
Escil: I think that's pretty resonable, miss a day just do a couple more the next
¤ Jon: 7 people have cleared 35 this month.
¤ Jon: :p
Escil: me?
¤ Chip: I think that's very reasonalbe.
¤ Jon: Yes you have Escil
¤ Chip: Escil: Yep, 72.
¤ Jon: I haven't
Escil: :O
Escil: wow
¤ Jon: Been a rough month
¤ Chip: Alright, let's vote.
Escil: 9988?
¤ Chip: Y for yes, N for no.
¤ Chip: Escil: no...
Kurt: I haven't ;(
Escil: for the post minimum thing
¤ Jon: Y
¤ Chip: Y
Kurt: Y
¤ Jon: Will it apply to this month?
¤ Chip: no
Escil: I don't know, he was pretty active as well...
¤ Jon: k, good :p
¤ Chip: Was and is are two different thing. Crying
Escil: I know GG on ST really well, I think he should be more active
Escil: Crying
¤ Jon: 9988 may have had a disadvantage with his activity index, I never reset his, don't know if anyone did.
¤ Jon: Like when he became a member.
Kurt: I didn't because I don't know how to
¤ Jon: But still.
Escil: We should just have a USNW day, where in all our CJ's we just promote USNW and "recruit
StanislavSoltys joined the chat
StanislavSoltys: ummm...
Escil: hello
¤ Jon: I think we should start the Activity indexes over, they haven't been properly managed so some people's aren't "right"
¤ Jon: I like Dan Dabu's AI Razz
¤ Jon: -527
¤ Chip: We'll start them over next month.
Kurt: Shouldn't have he been in the checkpoint?
¤ Jon: He is
¤ Jon: Illua
Kurt: Oh
Escil: I'll promote USNW on my CJ, perhaps we can get more nations and activity
¤ Jon: I have that little badge in mine
¤ Chip: More nations doesn't necassarilly mean more activity.
Kurt: Has you gotten any pms from the inactive nations Chip?
StanislavSoltys: or quality
Escil: Chip, yeah Cross
¤ Chip: Nope, which is, in my opinion, pathetic.
Escil: What about Dan, he hasn't posted in a while either
¤ Jon: Chippy, do you think we should make relations with the frencgies?
¤ Jon: *frenchies
¤ Chip: Not really.
¤ Chip: I don't see what we'll get from it.
¤ Jon: Yeah...
Escil: who are 'dem frenchies?
¤ Jon: Plus I don't thing anyone here speaks french :p
¤ Jon: Simland
Kurt: Wait are they still alive?
Escil: Simland>​ LOL
¤ Chip: Jon: Yeah.
Escil: more alive then we are now
¤ Chip: Anyway, I need more votes.
¤ Jon: Kurt: Alive and well
¤ Chip: 2-0-0
Escil: 2-0-0 for resetting stats?
¤ Chip: No, for the minimum post.
¤ Chip: Stats will be reset next month.
Escil: oh Y
¤ Chip: Passed, 3-0-0
Kurt: I already said Y
Escil: what happens, if you don't get the minimum, I think we should be a little lenient, like 37 for a month...
Escil: and it's 40
Kurt: I wanted 35, 30, 10
Escil: Does it work like that?
¤ Chip: Yeah, we won't be super strict.
¤ Jon: This guy is simland http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/journals/3286/entry-15598-novaya-tulsk-the-harbor/
Escil: Smile
Escil: Jon: Very Gorgeous!!!
¤ Chip: What else to discuss?
Escil: oh, I got the pirate thang
Escil: https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img856/3628/194075963670002425.gif
¤ Chip: We'll now give the floor to the ambassador from Loftindor.
¤ Chip: Elaborate?
Escil: basically red area if where a Loftindorian Merchant Ship was attacked and sacked, and I want the USNW peacekeepers to monitor the West Seas of Samastra due to their inability to provide protection to trading Ships
Escil: Please *Pardon my Manners
Escil: Gateway Shipping has lost tens of thousands of dollars to ransoms and to repay for stolen goods
¤ Chip: So, you'd like to request a peace keeping force for this?
Escil: Yes please
¤ Chip: How many?
Escil: Just a couple of Patrol boats.
Escil: I would not like Samastra to feel threatened and their ministers say it is okay for the USNW to patrol the area for a while.
¤ Jon: Escil, do you want an event forum for the Gateway meeting btw?
Kurt: That's a good idea
Escil: Yes please
¤ Chip: What types of ships? Destroyers, cruisers?
¤ Jon: Need a description line.
¤ Jon: Insulo will send a few.
¤ Jon: We don't participate in the United Forces thing.
Escil: I would say small naval boats, according to reports from the recent attacks, they we're poorly armed.
¤ Chip: Posillipo would send a destoryer and cruiser.
¤ Chip: With smaller patrol boats.
¤ Chip: Without need for vote.
Escil: Thank you very much, Loftindor is planning to send small patrols as well. The area is a hot spot trading area for Loftindor. All of Loftindor would like to thank you, as well as the Gateway Shipping Co.
¤ Chip: Posillipo is happy to help.
Escil: Smile
StanislavSoltys: Utrova will surely send a few
StanislavSoltys: what kind would you like?
Escil: Thanks to Utrova
Escil: Perhaps a cruiser?
StanislavSoltys: how many?
¤ Chip: Posillipo is sinding 1 Cruiser, 1 Frigate, and 1 Destroyer, if you send one Cruiser that should be plenty with smaller patrol ships.
¤ Chip: If they're poorly armed there's no need for the big guns, really.
StanislavSoltys: oh BMV army ships are pretty armed
StanislavSoltys: Razz
Escil: Samastra wouldn't like 2 many, and like Chip and I said, they are poorly armed
Escil: 2 *to*
Kurt: Shayden will not help with ships to try to keep pressure low.
StanislavSoltys: we can make modifications
Kurt: Plus it seems like everyone else has given enough
¤ Chip: Just send a cruiser and small patrol ships and it should be fine.
StanislavSoltys: we'll only send one though
StanislavSoltys: and two smaller ships
Escil: Yes agreed, Along with Loftindors navy, I think there is too much patrol...
Escil: Samastra may feel threatened...
¤ Chip: Next up?
StanislavSoltys: we'll mave a little away?
Escil: TBD?
StanislavSoltys: *move
StanislavSoltys: hmmm...
¤ Chip: Yes.
¤ Chip: Anyone have any thing else?
Escil: Is there a USNW wiki article I can debrief on?
StanislavSoltys: i have one
StanislavSoltys: i have one, but i forgot
¤ Chip: Escil: Make one.
Escil: Razz
¤ Chip: Wait, huh/
StanislavSoltys: crappy internet
Escil: Chip: Really Smile
¤ Chip: What do you mean?
¤ Chip: Are you asking if you can make a page for the pirate conflicT/
Escil: I guess I can squeeze in a couple NP countries along with it. But note: I'm not the best writer
¤ Chip: It's alright, and yeah, just make one.
StanislavSoltys: i would like to change Utrova drastically, to model a large version of Switzerland
Escil: I will thanks
StanislavSoltys: as well as take away a section of Anoka that used to be Ostrelanka
¤ Chip: Anything else that needs proposing?
¤ Chip: Stan: That'd have to go to the cartographic committee
StanislavSoltys: a new country called Switzara, what used to be Otstrelanka
StanislavSoltys: oh ok
Escil: Anywho? When will the next updated map be up?
StanislavSoltys: chip, dont mind my land change, i dont want it anymore
StanislavSoltys: Razz
¤ Chip: Not sure, when I get a chance to update it, it takes a long time.
Escil: Thanks, Loftindor has nothing else to discuss...
¤ Jon: bbl
Escil: I have to go bye now.
¤ Chip: We're done then, unless Utrova has anything to discuss, or Shayden?
¤ Chip: Guess not, we'll close with that then.
