What's up?
The entire elections the newspapers are very active. Now they're over, there ain't no more news to tell anymore? A new PM, a new Government, major discussions on Gun Laws, new editors. And the media remains silent. Is the writing staff on strike or something? Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 18:04, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nothing interesting to write about. :P New government. Pffft! --Semyon 18:21, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nothing interesting? These are exciting times for Lovia that should be documented. Even the fact feed does not show any more facts. :::Maybe print media is dying in Lovia, and TV or radio might take its place. HORTON11  18:50, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Frankly it isn't newsworthy, they're not well known yet and nothing major has occured, the gun convo has already been reported on and done. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.PCP 21:23, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * I just don't have the time for Lovia at the moment. It seems unimportant to me right now. Edward Hannis  [[File:CogHammer.gif]] 02:10, February 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Time is the problem of a lot of people. Other occupations (like studying) are given precedence. 06:29, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

LSCA Major Soccer League 2011 12 Teams
These are the final 12 best teams to play in the 2011 season. The second division will include six teams and will be announced next month. Here are the 12 teams: So that's that! Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.PCP 17:03, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

3 things: LTV already airs some mathches but We'd love all games to be watched. Sure! Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.PCP 17:04, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) There's only 8 teams
 * 2) Can FC Caltrava participate
 * 3) Could ATV broadcast the matches
 * 4) HORTON11  16:59, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding my team. I was thinking, you might need some tournament sponsors, so maybe Edison Electric could be one of them. HORTON11  17:07, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Guys, couldn't we cut down on the number of teams? Take FC Muntegu for example: it's not even Lovian. We've got too many pro teams for such a small nation, and most of them are not up to date or not even wikified. What about keeping ten teams, and no more than two per city? That would make it a whole lot livelier. We've got to get people involved in the game, and we can do that by making it attractive. Too many obscure teams is not attractive. 18:33, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 10 seems pretty reasonable. Teams like Muntegu should not be participating, and not even one of their players is Lovian. HORTON11  18:55, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

Sure Agreed! You can delete the following pages: East Hills Kangaroos, FC Molenbeek, and FC Muntegu the others are fine. We'll work somthing out. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.PCP 20:11, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * I deleted them as requested. And oh, go go rockets!  06:23, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm with the Walker Cavaliers though  07:51, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Dry Period
Wikination is very unactive latley, which i can understand Dimi and Yuri have work, which they annouced and my laptop was literally infected with 421 virsues =[ which kept me out of the game the past week. Just pointing this out but i'm quite disappointed with the slowness of the trial. I hope to see all soon. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.PCP 20:08, February 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * I, too, am disappointed. The site has not been this unactive in months... However there is nothing I can do to make the trial procceed any faster. And what good is it propose new laws if there ain't nobody around to vote for them? Hopefully things will turn around for the better. But in all honesty, I can't really say I've been spending much time online lately. Not at all. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 21:20, February 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've been really busy here in Brasil (note the use of the "s"), but hopefully next week I can be around more often. HORTON11  23:53, February 27, 2011 (UTC)

Oh I forgot there's a pardon for you too, Horton ust relax! =] Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.PCP 02:26, February 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, February usually isn't the most active month :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 05:45, February 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Contributing in a meaningful way takes time, a very valuable good to us all it seems. I'm confident editing will take off again once some of us have found their new rhythm or enter a holiday period. 06:31, February 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * :) --O u WTBsjrief-mich 15:50, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

Magnus
I am afraid that the user Magnus last night admitted at IRC that he is the person behind Drabo13. We blocked magnus for this reason on Llamada, what you do with this message is up to you, if you guys like evidence we have some but we do advise to send someone that talks dutch. Jillids 17:48, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, an IRC discussion can't be evidence, because it's very easy to fake it. What we'd like more is a confession made by the user account of Magnus on a wiki. That's evidence. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 06:10, March 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * He also made a nazi account yester-yesterday on llamada. I have a mail from magnus saying he is DRabo 62.195.163.100 06:22, March 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it is fair to say we can not act on ourselves considering the lack of 'strong evidence'. But I do believe this information should be passed on to the central wikia administration. Also, I'd like Pierius to clarify what this is all about. 06:31, March 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * First of all: yes, I have been on the IRC of Llamada. And yes, I did have a conversation with Jillis. However the content of this conversation – which is private – has absolutely nothing to do with what he claims: not once did any of us mention Drabo nor wikination. Of course, information can be easily forged, especially IRC conversations, as OWTB already pointed out. Whatever evidence any of these people may come up with is therefore already tainted. There has never been any confession whatsoever, especially not on any wiki (or wikia, for that matter). All claims made are based on sources outside of these wikis I have been a member of. If any of you want to pass on this information to the central wikia administration then by all means, do so. I couldn’t care less. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 09:10, March 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you took this serious by making a statement and, as I expected, you denied any involvement. Truthfully or not is only for you to know. I join in your view on the mentioned possible evidence, which I feel should be handed over to the central wikia just for the record of it. 10:58, March 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Reaction deleted @Jillids: Don't Feed The Trolls. Apoo banaan 15:16, March 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Mevedev since you know dutch we can show you a screen print from pierlot. I am afraid we don't have more evidence and don't feel like go discuss with magnus so he has more attention. Jillids 17:52, March 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not even going to dignify this with a response. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 18:22, March 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * One of two things the statements made by you all should prove my innocence when it came to the false accusation that I exchanged votes in some way. Second there really should be some proof, alot of people have accused him of this and nothing has came of it. Also I thought Pierlot was banned for being drabo. He was banned for a year. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.PCP 20:38, March 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, Pierlot was banned for: Abusing multiple accounts; vandalism and other unproductive wiki drama. (as in the logs). When Pierlot was banned, Magnus had an open goal to say: He is Drabo! It's well-known for ages that Magnus and Pierlot aren't friends. Apoo banaan 10:17, March 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * I received the print screen and it looks authentic. But then again I can provide similar proof that makes Dimi say he is the queen of England. Bottom line: suspicion noted, no action possible. 06:41, March 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * You know that e-mails got 'headers' right? And that 'headers' contain IP-adresses. Bottom line: Suspicion confirmed, action possible. Apoo banaan 10:09, March 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Under the condition that headers can't be tempered with, you are right. 15:03, March 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Headers of e-mails? They can be falsified very easily :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 15:28, March 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Then everything in this world is falsified, including you. So start deblocking everybody, since nothing can be proven. By the way: Authorities accept e-mail headers as evidence, so it would be strange if wikia would not. Apoo banaan 15:37, March 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've only blocked people because they vandalised a wiki (proof which can't be falsified) or because of revenge (and they are unblocked already). --O u WTBsjrief-mich 05:55, March 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Can you post the email or somthing here? I wanna see it, I remember when i was falsly accused of somthing they posted somthing from IRC with half the convo deleted and then said at the bottom that I went to Gay Rights rally, which made no sense. So if you could in your consince post a uneditied version if you can, but I do people you didn't edit it. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.PCP 20:22, March 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Assuming that whatever it is they photoshopped as "evidence" is is written in Dutch (Llamada being a Dutch website) I doubt you'll understand. But please by all means: share it with the community! Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 23:25, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

Well, this leads to nowhere, so this is my last reaction here (I'm obvious feeding the trolls again). But you have to know that headers of email's cant be falisfied. Because hotmail gives every message a unique 'X-Message-Info' and a unique 'Message-ID'. And there is no way to falsify that, unless pierlot works at hotmail (but I don't think so... and even then it would be nearly impossible). I'm sure that if you request the email according to this ID the mail of magnus will pop-up. I'll keep contact with Wikia staff and people with common sense, and we'll see what happens. (By the way: You've done wel on en-wikipedia magnus :)   ) Apoo banaan 10:31, March 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, to be honest, I just falsified a header to find out and it perfectly works :P OR perhaps you mean something else, but I don't clearly understand what you mean with headers of e-mails. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 11:41, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

I must say good gathering Apoo, I must say that is somthing it shows intent and a pattern for abusing people and accounts. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.PCP 12:28, March 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well Marcus, all he has managed to gather is stuff that we already knew of. He did not come up with any new information. The Mrlob account for example has been blocked since 2007 and hasn't been used since. Then that block log clearly shows the last block was in early 2009. I never denied my past as a wikipedia vandal. However I fail to see the relevance in this case. It's old news, basically. Been there, done that. Lame, *sigh*... Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 13:28, March 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * @apoo "X-Message-Delivery: Vj0xLjE7dXM9MDtsPTA7YT0xO0Q9MTtTQ0w9MA==", do you mean that with header? It's very annoying that we don't have more evidence. I heard magnus him self saying that he is Drabo so it wasn't a hard desision to block him. Jillids 17:41, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

There's alot of small evidence that is building up but not enough, One other question would be why would he confess to all of the people at Llamada but not here, Only thing i can guess is that he loves us more Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.PCP 21:07, March 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe he din't get what he wanted on Llamada but does'nt want to lose his position here. But he probebly wants attention. Jillids 11:46, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Well until more evidence pops up i'll believe it. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.PCP 14:21, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Supreme Court Judge
I had three men in mind who could replace Mr. Jefferson as our new Supreme Court Judge - Aesopos, Semyon and Bucu. I decided that of all these three excellent men, the most neutral politically speaking is probably Aesopos (Mr. Washington), and also the most expierenced.

I therefore advice all MOTC's to go and visit our Second Chamber a visit and vote either in favour or against this proposal.

With this, I must leave you. I am sad to inform y'all that due to unfortunate circumstances I found myself entangled in a case, a case which I lost and for which I will be severely punished. I have to accept that loss, and take it as a man. With these words, I bid you farewell!

Good luck, and take care, everyone! May Lovia florish without me as it did with me, Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 16:07, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

A sad day in history
This is a sad day in history. It is the day that democracy died, and all of our endeavours. Political views triumphed of justice, and party links defeated fairness and equality. In the Galahad v. The Brigade Trial, the flaws of our justice system were exposed, and the political alliances of our judge have been exposed. I implore to all Lovians to help prevnt this unjust and unwarranted sentence from being handed out, in the name of Justice, and of Democracy, in order to ensure peace, order and unity within our nation. HORTON11 16:48, March 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Our justice system needs some redesigning, nonetheless your statement is itself colored. As court has confirmed, the Law has been violated. You can discuss the measure of the sentence, but you can't deny the nature of the Brigade: created to flatter ego's and kept alive despite a law to bring it down - kept alive with blind confidence. 06:36, March 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, it's all over now. The Brigade is no more, and neither am I. At some point during the trial I actually thought I could get away with this, or at least, reduce the sentence to a minimum of two weeks, which would have been reasonable. Sweet dreams, I lost the @#!*% thing! Well, to bad. It's all over now. But bear this in mind: I regret nothing. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 09:25, March 17, 2011 (UTC
 * I did not give my speech in support of the Brigade. It is just that the sentence handed out is unjust and unreflective of the crime committed. The Brigade members heve broken a law, but they did not harm, steall, kill or otherwised do something towards a person to violate their rights. HORTON11  11:36, March 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * The sentence is a harsh one indeed, in every way draconic. The problem remains however that the decision can not legally be overruled. A settlement would have been thinkable, were it not that Donia himself is the Secretary of Justice - the key figure I would build the compromise around. I urge you all to leave as much drama behind as possible; we must look through our legislation and see if there is any chance at a reduction of those six months. 13:14, March 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well Mr Jefferson has violated Section 12.2 of Article 9, whrerby any sentence "must be in proportion to the violation". I don't know if that is of any use. HORTON11  14:00, March 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, according to Jefferson a group of licensed hunters parading around my private property are a "threat to national security". Sounds pretty menacing, doesn't it? More then dangerous and severe enough, I'd say. At least in his mind. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 14:56, March 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * It seems he is overstating things. The Brigade is not a threat to national security, and they did not plan to disrupt Lovia's integrity. It may not be menacing, but it is not entirely truthful. HORTON11  15:29, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, the brigade was not legal according to the law, but sentencing someone for six months for this? Guys.. Where has our common sense gone? --O u WTBsjrief-mich 18:26, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, any sane person would see that a 6 month sentence it unreasonable. And anyways, the Brigade did not disrupt Lovia's integrity as to merit such a sentence. HORTON11 18:39, March 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think we all got the point by now, just consider doing something about it. In other words: undertake action or accept the punishment. 06:36, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

Don't lay dow and die. Fight back. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.PCP 21:42, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

 * Applicants, please contact Cristian Latin 
 * Just on time to arrest me. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 15:40, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * PS: Thought you were gone. ;) Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 15:40, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sort of :P --Cristian Latin 15:41, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Lol, I'll soon be gone for a much longer period of time (if not forever) but the Judge
 * doesn't seem to be in a hurry when it comes to carrying out the verdict. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 15:46, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah I know. But don't think you'll get blocked for such a long period. Cristian Latin 15:54, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * It sure seems that way. Nobody on here beliefs it to be reasonable but @#!*% it, it's the law so it doesn't matter what the majority feels. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 15:57, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, if the majority is against it, then maybe we can amend the law? HORTON11  16:13, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * You could - but the trial still stands. While the verdict is not in any proportion to the "crime" committed, which is against the law, I do not know whether or not Jefferson could be punished for it or his decision overturned. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 16:18, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * As he broke the law and went agains the constitution, he should be tried. HORTON11  16:24, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well then, you have reasonable grounds for doing so. Of course Jefferson must first be replaced by Washington for obvious reasons (Jefferson cannot lead his own trial and when he is the accused party). Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 16:29, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, if we bing him to court now, someone will have to replace him for the duration of the trial. HORTON11  16:34, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a fine possibility. Washington comes to mind. Or maybe even our Federal Police Commissioner, Latin. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 16:38, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Washington would be the best choice, but he's not around too often. Latin is also a fine choice, but people may question his former links with the CCPL. HORTON11  16:41, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * People may question all the want but I say he's a fine candidate. Then there is also Semyon Eykidovich, completely a-political, low-profile and reliable. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 16:45, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Any one of them is fine. But if we amended the law, we could have 2 or 3 judges serving on the bench. HORTON11  16:49, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes indeed, we definitely need a jury. Especially because none of us has got the education for being Judge. Cristian Latin 16:52, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should organize a vote, or put an advertising in one of the newspapers. Oh, silly me again, never really getting the pointe. Aesopos 17:55, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Aesopos: do as you please, sounds like a plan! Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 17:56, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * We could also start a Judicial Refom campaign and introduce bills in congress, to make it official. HORTON11  17:59, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Great! It is really necessary, so don't hesitate! Cristian Latin 18:02, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Number of judges
I don't think that the law says that there can only be one Supreme Court Judge. It only mentions that a Supreme Court Judge leads the Supreme Court. However, as I just wrote, it does not explicitly say that there can only be one.

Well, anyone can become a Judge when a proposal of the Secretary has been approved by a normal majority in Congress.

I repeat: it is necessary to have more Judges in Lovia. It is all about neutrality. Eg. Abrahams and I cannot start our cases because Jefferson himself is involved (up to a certain level). Arthur Jefferson being an admin, a Judge (not theoretically nor legally, but practically he is above the law - if arrested by an admin (he is an admin himself), he can be tried "correctly according to Constitution" by himself because he is the only Judge around) and a Member of the Congress. Something has to happen.

So please, Lovian MOTCs, the least you could do is voting for Lars Washington in the Second Chamber. For the sake of Justice. Cristian Latin 18:26, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * I am Ygo August Donia and I approve this message. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 18:30, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * I too support this. HORTON11  18:32, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * "1.The Supreme Court is an independent institution and the nation's only and supreme judicial organ, led by a Supreme Court Judge." Cristian Latin 18:33, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

It even says on Supreme Court. "A second SC Judge will be appointed in the near future". It's clear now. Cristian Latin 18:46, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Then two it is. Jefferson has just been removed from Office. Being both the Prime Minister and the Secretary of Justice, I have the authority to do so. He is hereby permanently dismissed. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 18:53, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Yes but it would have to be a set number maybe 3? They can't be in congress or in a political party(just be secretly in it ). And if they wangted an appeal they would go to the head lead judge of the three and have a new trial. And to not toot my own horn but i would love a life in law.


 * The thing is you are too politically associated (with the PCP) and you might not be too impartial. I think you'd have a better chance at becoming a judge if you quit congress and the PCP and remained outsde of politics. HORTON11  01:17, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Limit to judges (read the *** Consitution)
The Constitution does pose a limit:  The Supreme Court Judge must maintain his or her duty until another is appointed and confirmed; only then is his or her service terminated.

Singular you see, it speaks about one judge which stops when he/she is replaced - and only then. This actions also requires a Congressional majority as I pointed out to our PM on several other pages. Please read the Constitution before talking. 07:26, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * I got my information for the page on Judges, actually. Someone was kind enough (or silly enough) to show me. It read that the Secretary of Justice or the Prime Minister of Lovia has the right to dismiss a Judge. So I exersised that right and did what I believed to be just. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 09:11, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * So now we don't check the Constitution anymore? It is true the Sec. of Justice and the PM together decide upon this matter, but only with Congressional majority. The page was correct but incomplete. I can understand why you made the mistake but it is a mistake. If you want to replace Jefferson, please file a request in Congress. Until such a proposal is approved he remains our Supreme Court Judge. 15:55, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * I have already filed such a request in Congress - it is currently in the Second Chamber and being voted upon by the Members of Congress. In it is clearly mentioned I am to replace Jefferson and appoint Washington in his place. You know that, and you've seen it too. In fact, you've even voted on the proposal (against it, no less ). If it passes with a majority of 50% (which I suspect it will) then Jefferson will be replaced. I agree with you that until then, he remains the Supreme Court Judge. I'll have to agree, as I now know I have no other choice. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 18:32, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, Ygo was wrong. And yes 'we' don't read the Constitution anymore (it isn't supreme, what did you say, Yuri? & too many people locked up without a trial... oh that was what you meant, right?) and yes there can be more Judges: " A Supreme Court Judge leads Supreme Court. Not The ." It implies that there can be more. Actually it is completely retarded to maintain this situation in which only one person has a monopoly on jurisdiction. Especially because there are issues in which AJ himself is being involved. Cristian Latin 20:06, March 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * @Cristian- We should propose a motion in congress to increase the number of judges. Then it will be possible to have new/other judges without issues. HORTON11  20:14, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * You could do so, for an explicit description in law, however I don't think there really is an issue (because there can be more judges ) and besides it is not very likely that we will find a +66% majority in these times of inactivity... Cristian Latin 20:25, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * It easy. If only 3 people vote and two say pro, that's 66%. And anyways, many Lovians support reform. HORTON11  20:41, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Horton, I wish it were that easy. When you want to amend the constitution, 66% of the entire congress is needed to get something trough. Not 66% of the voters. And as Mr. Latin already pointed out, there is no need for it as the Law does not state there can be but one Supreme Court Judge. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 20:48, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * @Latin: it is your lack of knowledge on judicial matters that causes such a mixed-up view. If I had the time for it I'd always explain every word I say, not that anyone would read it. I explained the contradiction you think to see elsewhere. 18:00, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

Letter of protest
Bucurestean and Donia have been blocked by Jefferson for respectively two weeks and six months. All I can say is: please stay calm. I know it is lame but I can't think of a better advice. Also, especially Donia's punishment is according to many (including me) draconic. Out of solidarity I suggest those who want it sign this letter of protest:

''I do not agree with the heavy punishment issued upon Donia for his involvement in the Brigade. I support a reduction of the term to at most two weeks. If no consequence is given to massive support to this letter of protest, I am willing to contribute to other non-aggressive actions like the abstinence from editing for a while.''

 * Although the sentence is rather severe, we should respect our country's independent judicial. Politicians interfering with how the court sentences breaches of the law seems wrong to me. A bit of civil action, on the other hand, sure, why not. 13:46, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Two things:
 * 1. It seems that the judicial is not wholly independent, as Mr Jefferson has unofficial links to the LAP party
 * 2. Politicians (and people in general) must have the right to change judicial decisions if they are unjustified and illegal. HORTON11
 * Just one word: Justice . Now I'm out of here, mission accomplished. Apoo banaan 22:42, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Dead Air
Is this wikia dead? Seriously? should we start a new wikia (I had one planned) or should we start a new wiki like the original model set up by Dimi, make a new wiki about a city in a real country, with more shop orintated with a dose of politics passing a budget and making laws and building parks. A small eight member city council, with a Mayor and Vice Mayor. Just wondering. Marcus/Michael Villanova 22:32, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * We could also make one like a city-state, somewhat like Monaco or Singapore. HORTON11  02:10, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually this results in less activity. One of the reasons that many wikis eventually die is that people think that a new concept will attract more people and will result in more activity. Unfortunately, new wikis result in people being spread all over, so less people per wiki, so less activity. And a wiki with only a few active members is more likely to die out than a wiki with more active members. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 05:21, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

We have no Government currently, no one is passing the law- providing the budget. The King is off some where due to studying and I'm not sure if he'll be back soon until summer, Spring Elections should be taken RIGHT NOW at this very moment. I say we start some activity by this week and start elections, or sweep the entire Government off the sheet unless all of the Congress members sign in by Friday of April 29, and in the mean time we should begin the process of getting campaigning started.

Alright, we should start getting the Police re-organized, seeing that lootering and riots would begin to happen, as funding would be shut down and laws woulden't be passed.

Yeah but the poster says, (looks at it again) ohhhhh you did it the europeans way here in america it would have been 05/01/11, i get it okay!!! Yeah i've watched that movie at least 10 times, his name is Bernie Sanders, the only one of his kind in america. He recently fillabustered a bill for 18 hours (talk before a vote to change minds and stuff, to stall). Pretty impresive but it didn't beat Storm Thrumond a racist from South Carolina who fillabuster the civil rights acts for 24 and a half hours. He was so rascist that he them got elected from 1940 -1990, in either Senator or governor from or for of South Carolina. Marcus/Michael Villanova 14:32, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thurmond was no true racist; he had a black daughter with his black girlfriend as a young man. Google it. The Master&#39;s Voice 14:35, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Whom he raped. Marcus/Michael Villanova 14:38, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * No he didn't - they were in a short relationship and then seperated - he did not know of his daughter until later in life and he made sure she went to college in a time it wasn't common for black women to go to college. Does not sound like a racist to me, boy. Get your facts straight. The Master&#39;s Voice 14:41, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * From wikipedia: "He helped pay his daughter's way through college. Though Thurmond never publicly acknowledged Washington-Williams while he was alive, he continued to support her financially. These payments extended well into her adult life.[28] Washington-Williams has stated that she did not reveal she was Thurmond's daughter during his lifetime because it "wasn't to the advantage of either one of us."[28] She kept silent out of love and respect for her father[6] and denies that there was an agreement between the two to keep her connection to Thurmond silent.[28]" The Master&#39;s Voice 14:42, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

So the fact he wanted blacks segregated isn't racist?Marcus/Michael Villanova 14:46, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not neccesarily. Black Nationalists are also in favour of segregation. And you know very well that in the politically correct USA, blacks cannot be racist no matter what they say or do. It is, apparantly, a white thing. The Master&#39;s Voice 15:12, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Racism is racism i never said one kind was better than the other. Marcus/Michael Villanova 15:26, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well I personally do not believe there is anything wrong with segregation. As long as it is voluntary it is okay in my book. What I think is wrong is to force diversity upon people who do not wish for it, and thus increase tension and crime in return. Nothing wrong with an all-white neigborhood or an all-black school if you ask me. It's a choice people are allowed to make. The Master&#39;s Voice 15:31, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * But they're just people, black-white-yellow, all are red once bleed. Well this 'choice' will never happen and even though its voluntary it would still create tension, and being multi-cultural is an American base. I can't believe we have a segregationist in our Congress, what group of people in Lovia would support him..thats what I'm wondering. I'm so glad that racism is out of my school, a medium income area with no metal detectors or any gangs, I love my multi-cultural school and all my black friends and Chinease friends and all my Mexican friends and all my white freinds. I see no color, I see who you are and what you are inside you by getting to know you. Nathaniel Scribner 16:44, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Others have had less pleasant experiences with multiculturalism, Mr. Scribner. You are the exception rather then the rule. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. However there is nothing wrong with schools or neigborhoods for one single ethnicity. It's a choice we are all free to make, just as it is your choice to live in this "multi-cultural valhalla" you describe here. The Master&#39;s Voice 17:21, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * We should push all our schools to become multi-cultural valhalla's, stop the hate and racism. I'm so glad I have the choice to tell my children to love all, any where, any time, for not what they look like, but by they're deeds. Nathaniel Scribner 17:29, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * We should not push anyone, give the choices a free choice. You cannot force your idea of the ideal society upon everyone - I say if a school wants to allow everyone, let them. If they don't, they don't. Accept that. Live and let live. I too will tell my children to love all - but also to be proud of who they are themselves and to marry within their own ethnicity. Since we live in a free society, I have that right, as do you. And I will not let anyone force multiculturalism upon me. The Master&#39;s Voice 17:34, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thats not loving at all, you sir are a man of hate and racism. Nathaniel Scribner 17:40, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * No sir. In fact among my best friends there are several muslims; some Kurds, an Iranian, a Palestinian and an Afghan family. I was invited to dine in their house, and had pleasant conversations with all of them. How does that make me a "man of hate and racism"? I just don't believe in the mixing of races and the mass immigration of foreigners. I am not a racist, I am a racialist. I believe in the preservation of races and culture. I believe in purity. It would be a shame if these nice people would "Westernise" and lose contact with their own culture. And it would be a shame if my people would lose contact with their own cultural and racial identity. I think these values instored in us by our ancestors are worth protecting and safeguarding. I am all for preserving not destroying. Love, not hatred, drives me. The Master&#39;s Voice 17:46, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * My brother in-law is a Muslim from Jordan, my sister is from the deep south, they both preserve they're cultures just fine. Telling your kids not to marry a child of different color or culture is HATE. Nathaniel Scribner 17:51, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * It is not - my love for my race is to big to allow my children to come home with someone from another race. But I know they will not, because that is not the way they are brought up. They are taught to be friendly towards all people; which is not the same as seeing a potential partner in everyone. If not, I fear the white race is doomed to die out, go extinct, as is currently happening with the native American Indian, of whom almost none are of pure blood anymore because the genocide committed against their people. The Master&#39;s Voice 17:58, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * @MV - A Rascist will always find a pretext for his rascism. Marcus/Michael Villanova 17:57, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * @MV: you defended race as a scientific concept, right? I totally agree there is variation within the human species, BUT it remains the same species. Advocating 'racial purity' is just one bridge too far, because it can never happen without a sociological concept of race - thus making a non-existing division on the moral level. Besides, racial purity is pure nonsense: we all have the same genetic pool, only superficial differences exist. 05:43, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * I was just wanting to know, is there any people that have been very successful in developing society in a left-wing political stage as with economical and technological? My history teacher sees left-wing politics the base for no more moving in to the future with nothing to peruse them to they're goals; money. Nathaniel Scribner 06:05, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Frankly I find that a very poor view. It shows a lack of understanding of how rich the leftist thought is. Self-interest is always the dominant motive behind progress, even so in a socialist system. Money would be the means by which people secure their self-interest in a capitalist system. Socialists/communists (as dominant faction on the left side) claim that organizing yourself in a society - thus giving up some of your personal liberty - is in fact a way of self-preservation. A strong state can provide healthcare, education, economic stability, etc. It is a story of 'less (economic) freedom in exchange for more (economic) security'. Hope this helps? 09:32, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * About the innovation thing: I believe in Europe most innovative research is done on a state-sponsored basis at (semi)state-governed universities. Members of the European Union are obliged to make a certain investment in (technological) innovation - as in they have to plan it . Money isn't the only motive behind research, some people actually think the world will benefit from what they do. 09:36, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Since no one has offically started the betting i'll start it at 0.01$ to be then donated to MoMA in NYC. Marcus/Michael Villanova 19:55, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * ??! I believe the owner has the right to determine the starting price? Also, the Museum of Modern Art is working out a joint ownership with The Master. It would be a shame to let Lovia's only Mondriaan leave for the US. 05:52, May 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Its not the only Mondrian, the MOA has 2 others. Generally a work like this is worth around $ 10,000,000. HORTON11  12:34, May 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I will buy it then donate it to the museum. This is both an act of kindness aswell as a personal choice, as the painting depicts degenerized modern art. I buy it and then the museum may put it on public display. The Master&#39;s Voice 14:35, May 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * If you'll do that, then I will accept the deal. HORTON11  14:50, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

 * @TimeMaster: I agree. It is a shame that part of a common cultural inheritance is locked away. All works of major importance should be available to the public. 07:02, May 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Why not donate it to the public immediately then, Horton? That way you're sure it isn't locked away. If you sell a painting to the highest bidder, it being locked away is a risk you know you take. The Master&#39;s Voice 07:04, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

Who will become PM might be more interesting though: with little votes in play the competition gets real hard. 05:55, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

State Reform 2011
As far as it exists, I still want some major changes to the constituion. You can see the changes at User:Crystalbeastdeck09/State Reform 2011 it has some changes, but major ones.

@Yuri -On the sidepage I included your Fair Trial act in the Reform and already put in the changes from 8.2 in it.

This will create a larger congress, lower the kings power, and make Lovia more democratic and better. We would have to also conduct another census to make lovia at least have a higher number in the population. In any case thanks in advance. Marcus/Michael Villanova 15:01, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

I don't like it. 100 seats is excess. That's one person for every 200 citizens. Also, are you going to instate the PM reform I suggested? Having a PM as the highest voted MOTC is really weird and unrealistic. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 15:20, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

If read it i said we need to conduct a new census wth an offical census taker, new numbers and eveything., I did do some PM reform. Marcus/Michael Villanova 15:47, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

It's Crunch Time
Only a few days until elections start! And i'm setting the number so everyone but one person gets elected, at eight. Also the most important thing is that we need to pass State Reform 2011 now. If were gonna have a 100 member congress let's do it now. Okay Either we pass mine or the LDP's version i don't care both are equally fine. From Prime Minister - Marcus/Michael Villanova 21:53, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

I'll vote pro to any/both, but we should have a vote in congress before the end of elections period. HORTON11 22:03, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

The main difference is that the LDP's includes the PM reform while CPL.nm's does not. In mine, say that the LDP got 20% of the 100 seats in Congress, CPL.nm got 20%, and SDP got 15%. Then the CCPL got 20%, the UNS got 15% and PCP got 10%. LDP, CPL.nm, and SDP might form a coalition and made Yuri their leader. The opposition, CCPL, UNS, and PCP, would simply form a collective "opposition". Then we could draw the Congressional diagrams by the government being on one side and the opposition being on another. This would be more realistic. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 22:42, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, also, the red line would no longer exist if we use the 100 member congress thing. Instead, your percentage of the votes would be the amount of seats you control. For example, if I got 16% of the votes, I would receive 16 seats. The only thing that is messing me up is mid-term elections. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 22:45, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

Could we not have separate elections for Prime Minister? HORTON11 22:54, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

The position of Prime Minister is not decided by the people. It is decided by the members of congress which are elected by the people. If you want separate elections, we should instate the position of President. If we had a Prime Minister which did not reflect the majority of Congress (like Donia for example), it would not be realistic. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 23:39, May 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * We could make a post of President, which would be an active head of state and thus making the King a ceremonial head of state. HORTON11  23:56, May 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't get the whole President/Prime Minister thing like France, i just think its way to over complicated. We obviously have to stop mid-term elections, the red line thing, and have to have a government fully supported by the parliament, meaning a majority. Marcus/Michael Villanova 00:20, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

The Prime Minister is the head of government (like the leader of the congressional government), and the President is the head of state, plus a few extra powers in most countries. It does make sense, just read about the government of france on Wikipedia. Horton, I think that would be fine but only if the President is allowed to be an MOTC, like the monarch. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 00:44, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

Yes the Presidet should be in congress. @Marcus- he would replace the King in congress, but be a democratically elected leader. HORTON11 01:35, May 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Just so you folks know: I oppose the idea of a president in the line of French or American tradition. One person shouldn't get that much power. I mean did we constantly took power away from the King just to give it to another individual? I don't care how democratically elected a president may be, no-one should be granted a seat for free. 07:16, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

So we can't agree on the preisdent thing, let's not do it then. But we can agree on the 100 person congress, and the repealing of Mid-terms. Marcus/Michael Villanova 10:49, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, what do you think of my PM reform? —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 11:00, May 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * @Marcus: I support the fictional Congress construction but am somewhat opposed to appealing mid-terms. I want block the proposal if there is a majority in favor, but mid-terms do serve a good purpose. @TimeMaster: what reform do you mean? 11:45, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

I am talking about the reform where the PM is not the most voted for candidate, and is instead the leader of a government coalition, a group of political parties that form a government coalition. The current system is not realistic, although maybe we could change it to Speaker of the Congress. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 17:33, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

So in your reform you should add


 * The PM reform you wanted, but keep it as PM, i'm okay with that sorta part of our system we have now.


 * and I saw you also added the 100 member congress so that's good.

 * Some of important matters on the European integration were discussed at a restaurant so this is no scoop. 10:43, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah and we all need to sober up but also when putting it in the second chamber, we have to approve it article be article if that article was changed. Marcus/Michael Villanova 19:51, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Also, with this system, say that the CPL.nm received 24 seats. They could put in Alyssa, Szohad, Johnson, and Frum as some of the congresspeople, and if they return, the seat could be donated to them. Also, long term people who went inactive wouldn't be inactive IC, their votes would just be controlled by their party. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 01:28, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a great idea, TimeMaster. The Master&#39;s Voice 09:54, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, in that case the party system should be changed a bit. People generally don't stick to the party views (at least in the past) and we should hold more "party assemblies", but I guess this is just a minor change. I like this idea too and it's practically the same as the system used in Mäöres.

Laws concerning the practice of cloning
If you ask me it's and open and shut case:
 * Someone wants to clone people\animals\whatever. There is no law preventing this from happening - whether or not this is ethnically correct I leave in the middle - so in order to prevent this from happening you can do one thing, and that is to propose proper laws on this.

 * Cloning is no good. Only cloning of cells for medicinal research should be allowed. Aged youngman 15:18, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * If cloning is "not good" because "man may not create life" then how about artificial insemination for infertile couples? I mean, where do we draw the line here? And: is it okay to break moral and ethical codes for the sake of the greater good? The Master&#39;s Voice 14:49, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think genetic tempering with non-sentient organisms should be allowed with a two restrictions: (1) it may not pose a treat to either public health safety or the ecological system and (2) the goals need to be restricted to issues of medical or scientific nature. This principally allows making vaccines, enhancing crops, IVF-related things, cloning for medicinal research. This does not allow the cloning of pets, engineering babies and creating human clones. 14:55, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * How does engineering babies pose any sort of threat to public safety? For example: breast cancer, autism or sickle-cell disease are hereditary; they run in the family. If you can choose to implant only the embryo that does not carry these diseases in IVF you give the unborn child an advantage in life and save future generations a lot of trouble by, as you call it "engineering a baby". It does not have to be a bad thing. The Master&#39;s Voice 15:01, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Education should be more visible!
I think we all agree - even with the commies :P - that education is at the base of our society. In order to make education tastbaarder (I guess in English that's more tangible, right?) I think it could be a good idea to write "edubooks" (books used at school and yes, that's a calque from Limburgish órbeuk, 'cause I've got no idea what to call that in English :P) for at least those subjects only taught in Lovia (so I was thinking of Oceana language - History of Lovia and the world - Geography of Lovia and the world - though we could leave out the part "and the world" :P). I've done the same thing in Libertas when Nýttfrón was still an independent country and I believe it's useful, interesting, making things clearer, more easy to look things up when finished, fun to create and not having to do with politics (especially the last one, at least if you write NPOV :P). I could make a start for Oceana language, but because it's quite a lot of work, I'm not going to do anything until I've heard some reactions from our other beloved Wikination users :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 10:53, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

We will have full update in awhile...but so far the LDP is far in the lead. Marcus/Michael Villanova 00:02, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

A look back from the end of last years election...
I came last year, I was new unexpirenced user the second wiki i ever edited on (The first was Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki hence my username) and i really wasn't that smart on politics (some say i'm still not ) but i've learned alot ALOT!!!...about politics and cultures. Anyway here was a article I wrote in 2010 at the end of the elections call "The Great Election of 2011"

T'was a great election with Yuri Becoming Prime Minister once again. This years congress is a mixed bag of liberals, commies, and some WLP. But as all countries do what about next election? I know your thinking thats a whole year away, but lets just see.

Coalition LD+WLP- they'll try to host more candidates this time around. I think it started as a PM race but i think alot of people like the two parties combined as is.

Liberal Democrats- Maybe instead of hosting three candidates they'll host none. Like I said try to do the WLP+LD again and could win 7 maybe 8 seats. I think so.

Walden Libertarian Party- Alone this party can't win more than one seat. But combined With the LD they could finally, (In the way later times...lol) could win PM.

Progressive Democrats- Wow, again winning the PM spot again, but it's a little weird how they only got three guys into congress. Tho there has never been much gridlock in the congress you'd think they'd want more congressmen. Good luck and what a great job!

Lovian Communist Party- Great party that causes trouble. Sometimes it's there fault but 90% of the time i think people are just wanting to fight. Any way with one solid win with Mangus you'd think they'd make a colaliton or somthing. Watch out they could get 2 or 3 members next time around.

List Oos Wes Ilava- What a weird party name. Maybe they could attract more members if they named there party. Lovian Conservative Party, Lovian Populist Party, IDK. Scince there the only really conservative party you'd think they'd have more members.

Smaller Parties
Lovian Democratic Party- Small party and since there are really no pledged members and to large and in charge liberal parties it will be kind of hard to win a congress seat.

IGP- facist parties will never thrive in Lovia. But with it's headlines and weird views at some point in the next 50 years they'll get a MOTC.

Lovian Republicans- The "pouplist party" is small in numbers and has me as one of there members.

So check out all of these parties new members.( if there are any present and would be also randomly reading this)and be prepared for next years Elections!!!!!

None of the parties lasted, and we defintly changed. this came from The Pub archive/4 Please enjoy! Marcus/Michael Villanova 22:36, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Interesting. So, did the IGP actually run in the elections? The Master&#39;s Voice 05:29, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * @Marcus: those parties changed significantly: Progressive Democrats became CPL.nm, List Oos Wes became CCPL, out of the IGP ashes rose the UNS and LD/Walden/others are now on the rise as 'liberals'. I thought it'd be nice to stress the continuity too.  07:49, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Vacancy: blues band members
I am starting a blues band, The Bayside Dumpsters. Are you into blues? Then join on in. We are still looking for someone to play the piano and an additional guitar could also come in handy. If you are interested than let me know. Harold Freeman 15:21, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, I play the guitar, but politics is taking over all my time, so if you can't find anybody else you could contact me è :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 15:24, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * I would do most of the writing but I hate to create fictional people. They need too much background so I simply contract users. I will let you know. :) Harold Freeman 15:28, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * I. G. La Blaca has a pleasant, deep singing voice (the result of much whiskey & cigars) and can play a nice tune on the guitar.
 * He looks old as dirt and in blues that is a good thing you see. I just have some questions concerning his political views. Blues music is not a matter of color but is does carry a certain inheritance. Harold Freeman 15:58, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Music and politics shouldn't have anything to do with each other, if you ask me. I'll play in a band with anyone regardless of who they are: in music, all people of the world can be united, albeit for a short moment. Look at football games! The Master&#39;s Voice 16:04, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not really into blues, though I have some contemporary blues-rock artists in my playlist. @TMV: I'd love to see La Blaca sing rock that thing baby to a mean ol' @#!*% . (no disrespect meant, just my prejudices on blues music) 16:18, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * He fits in well: face like Methusalem, voice like Howlin' Wolf. The Master&#39;s Voice 16:20, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Still, I don't see him singing nasty bits of lyrics about heavy women committing adultery which is in my mind what blues songs are about. I'm probably wrong so never mind. 16:22, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * We'll see what happens - maybe he'll run away screaming after one repetition? The Master&#39;s Voice 16:24, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Gaming Commission
Does anyone think we should have gaming commissions for each of the states? This would be for regulating casinos, and lotteries. HORTON11 17:12, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

I'd support a national commission, but state commissions is too individual. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 17:36, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

We need the states to do something, so this would give them some control over their affairs, but not too much power. HORTON11 17:38, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

We really don't need the states to do something, plain and simple. We don't have enough people for the states to have control over their own affairs. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 18:00, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * We could just pretend that they do, untill we get more members. The Master&#39;s Voice 18:01, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * We can just give them control over this, but its more of a formality. HORTON11  18:09, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * If Kings would only license casino's which pay heavy taxes (to protect the citizens of Kings) but Seven would allow any casino, then Kings can no longer protect its citizens since they will all go gambling across the state border. I don't mind executive power for the states on this matter, but there should be national legislation. Dividing the legislative power will only result in competition between the states, a race to the bottom. 10:58, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well we could make a minimun federal standard, and then allow the states to make the more specific regulations. HORTON11  12:40, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

History
I've had some ideas about developing our nation's history, and I was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions. To be honest I find that when big projects are developed on wikis there tends to be a lot of discussion but little done, so if you have any ideas for interesting events, political movements etc. could you email them to me? Then I can combine it all together before proposing it formally. I hope no-one thinks this is taking a liberty? --Semyon 19:16, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Eh.. I think it's too "closed". We can't see what others have proposed.. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 19:19, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't see the advantage of that. Also, are people really interested? I assume not, by the fact no-one has done anything with this for three years. --Semyon 19:25, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Semyon, a "big discussion" doesn't have to be bad. It will draw much attention to your project and since most of the "old garde" appears to have left I don't think too many users would oppose your ideas, however revolutionairy they may be. I like your idea, though, and believe it could very well result in more activity and some well-written historical pages. I must ask you to try and incorporate as many pre-existing historical figures in our history as possible instead of inventing a bunch of new-ones which will leave us with 200+ founding fathers and all that nonsense. But again, I like the idea and would be willing to cooperate. The Master&#39;s Voice 19:28, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Of course. Alright, I'll try writing down a few ideas. You'll have to wait a moment tho'... --Semyon 19:40, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * How we kept neutrality durning WW2's pacific war.Nathaniel Scribner 19:46, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I too feel it's bland...but i guess it has to be bland in some places beacuse we didn't have users then to make decisions. But we could liven it up. Marcus/Michael Villanova 23:38, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Correction: we should live in up! ;) The Master&#39;s Voice 07:58, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * @Semyon: 'no-one has done anything with this for three years' - that is incorrect. I wrote a general history for Kings tying political changes to socio-economic circumstances etc. I also proposed a theory on why Lovia was never occupied by a colonial power/the US. Others did things as well: Hurbanovan wall, immigrants comming from places, etc. It might not always be as detailed as we want to, but there is history. On the WWII issue: my take would be we followed the pattern of Latin-American states. 08:59, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * What is strange is that Arthur II was killed by a German spy yet despite this massive provocation we remained neutral. That's rather weird, you must agree. We need to find a decent explanation for this. The Master&#39;s Voice 09:05, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Easy: our sensible leaders knew that the axis powers didn't pose a treat to us due to our proximity to the US. Going to active war would cause more costs (funds and people) then needed to secure our safety. We could however say that the authorities became more alert in looking for spies. 09:12, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay. Then we could write that the Germans murdered the King as a means of provocating the Lovian people enough to enter the war; which failed. The Master&#39;s Voice 09:17, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * And what exactly makes Lovia so important to the Germans? I hope not our 'strategic position' because the US would simply overrun the Germans within a day. 09:30, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * I have no idea, frankly. It was the King who wrote that thing about Arthur being murdered by a German spy, you should ask him. ;) The Master&#39;s Voice 09:44, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Updates
I wish i could do this, but honestly would anyone know how to find a vote to seat ratio right now? I can't fin it in the back of my notebook. Marcus/Michael Villanova 23:41, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Easiest thing in the world: AMOUNT OF VOTES PER PARTY / TOTAL VOTES GIVEN would result in a good estimation. Of course in the end we will have to round up the numbers, moving everything .5 and higher to a 1 and giving precedence to the highest one (conflict between .8 and .9 means the .9 gets the seat). After that we must divide the party seats over the candidates based in the votes, using the same rules in calculation. Does that help you? 06:22, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Made a calculation for the parties based on the current votes (06:33, June 8, 2011 (UTC)) and only for the parties: CPL.nm 39, LDP 22, CCPL 12, PCP 9, UNS 8, SDP & Semyon Breyev each 5. That makes for a 100 seats. 06:33, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nice, hopefully this keeps up! If you check out my side page for my list of congressmen, not all will be going to CPL.nm but all are going to be progressives. Marcus/Michael Villanova 10:42, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * There is still the UNS, Marcus. We, too, will make it into Congress. Would you call us progressives? If so, I'm flattered, in a way. The Master&#39;s Voice 10:48, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * No i meant my congressmen i'm creating pages for Marcus/Michael Villanova 10:54, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Pff, it will be a lot of work for us. I don't mind you handing out seats, as long as we remain in the some spot in the ranking, which would be first. I'm thinking of some figures too, but that will be for after the examinations (I have my last on the 20st).  14:38, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * My school is in panic mode for finals, so they made some up...this is not joke. But i did well on my French final, I got a 89/100 so i'm pretty happy, still got math and science to go. 70% of them are going to CPL.nm, but all would still vote for most progressive things. Marcus/Michael Villanova 19:36, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Also back on track: I wouldn't vote for Dae-su he seems inactive and the more votes he gets the more seats he gets to be inactive. Marcus/Michael Villanova 19:53, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah well, he's a fine politician and an excellent user. He has been around several times - not as often as you and me or Yuri but when he is active he edits a lot. He said he was looking forward to being elected so that he could be in politics. I think he waits for his elections, then he will become more active. The Master&#39;s Voice 20:05, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

I mean he's not a bad user, but i would like the politicans to be more active. Marcus/Michael Villanova 20:08, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * We should give everyone some credit these times. If I'm honest I know I should be studying this instant, not visiting Lovia.  12:59, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

Well, the spotlight thing's a difficult job. I remember we did this also before you guys came and there were quite some requirements still to be met. Including already being active enough, which currently is not the case. Also, a large influx of new people is difficult to handle (citizen registers, keeping track of the newbie edits, lots of vandalism) --O u WTBsjrief-mich 09:40, June 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * These are difficult times, only 24 hours a day of which 7 spent sleeping, about 1.5 on the collection and consumption of food, 8 for studying, ... I will inform myself about the spotlight as soon as the new Congress is in place - like I committed myself before. A reminder doesn't hurt though.  12:21, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

We always need another admin to keep up when you guys are gone, i know somone who would love this job! Marcus/Michael Villanova 12:25, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

 * Yuri, I'm also admin ;) --O u WTBsjrief-mich 16:57, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

I think we have a suitable amount of active admins right now. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 01:23, June 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * @OWTB: sorry, I confused admin with the thing above again. Currently the site is kinda in the governance of all users anyway.  08:57, June 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah :P Well, admin just means you can delete pages and should be looking RC for vandalism and stuff like that. Activity is necessary, but not a reason for being admin. It's also no state, 'cause you can be admin and not even in Congress, so you ain't got nothing de tell :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 12:19, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

Photoshop
If you download the free version is good? How long does it take, i think somwhere around 10 hours? Well if these are answered thanks! Marcus/Michael Villanova 15:45, June 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * I downloaded so called 'cracked software'. It gives you a full version with a license key (or a bypass to avoid having to enter the key) in little over an hour depending on your internet connection. Please note that this is considered theft in a moral sense since you don't pay for the product. In most countries it is however only illegal to offer cracked software, downloading and using it is legally alright. I don't know how familiar you are with torrent downloads, but it is comparable to downloading music files. If you need any more assistance you should mail me (joerivds [at] live.be) since Lovia is hardly the place to discuss this. 06:16, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Commiepol
With the new Congressional workforce in place, we want to know who is your favorite CPL.nm politician? Marcus Villanova : Moderate, reasonable and ambitious. Just the way I like it. Yuri Medvedev : A man who knows what he wants and says what he thinks. Juliette Thomassen : A talented young woman with a lot of potential. Jonathan Frum : He's no politicians, he's an artist! I don't think CPL.nm has any (good) politicians.

Let us know, so we can publish a lost of 'most popular party members'. Additional comments outside the poll-box are welcome too! 09:02, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

If they really did take all the property from the greedy corporations, destroyed the monarchy, give the flag a hammer and sickle and then I'd call you a communist party. If Vladimir saw you allowing a monarch live in a mansion off the wealth of the people and giving him a status over the people with just blood and a title would absolutly insult them.

 * I must admit that I am not communist if that is defined as 'preaching the proletarian revolution and trying to achieve a stateless, possessionless and classless society'. Yet I dare to say I am a marxist, for I believe in a strong state directing a large set of public domains. The CPL is against the monarchy, yet doesn't want to decapitate the poor guy. We just want Dimi to be the last monarch. Lenin was is great source of inspiration when it comes to theories such as the intellectual vanguard or the international capitalist system, but he isn't a demigod. I dare to oppose his views of a bureaucratic society and I don't think that makes me any less communist. I don't adhere soviet-dogma, hence the 'neo-marxist' addition to the party name. 09:35, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

I don't like Monobook almost as much as this skin I'm using right now, which is Wikia/Oasis. Also, rich text editing sucks since it always thinks you are a noob editor and don't know how to do anything past making a link... So I just use the code editor. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 16:05, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

The new editing page thingy is way better, the rich/complex/source code thing is faster and better. Marcus/Michael Villanova 17:02, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

It may be faster, but it is not better. It assumes you are a noob editor, and keeps people as noob editors (instead of teaching them code). —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 19:53, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

Indeed, I miss those good ol' times when you still needed to know what you were doing. Those rich text editors and other extra stuff generate bad codings which can be not-conform the standards of a certain wiki and therefore are irritating to users who like a different system (f.e. cats before iw, instead of iw before cats, if you place iw before cats it'll create a space between the text and the cats in monobook, which is very ugly) --O u WTBsjrief-mich 21:04, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

Looks like I'm on the conservative side for once. I agree it is nice to 'help' people in their editing but if it leads to making them dependent I'm not so happy with it anymore. Knowledge and craft empower the user. 05:41, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Historical census data
As part of the project on expanding our history, I thought we could add some historical census data. I've therefore uploaded a (somewhat radical) plan. As you can see from the graph the key features are: Lovia's population goes up rapidly to around 180000 after the world wars, only to decrease to around 3000 after the Great Famine.

Advantages of this would be: What does anyone else think? --Semyon 06:55, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Integrating the Famine more into our history. I always felt disappointed this area of history was never expanded.
 * Allow broader scope for imagination. We could invent historical towns and even possibly states which were deserted.
 * The large population would help to account for how unrealistic Lovia is. For instance it would explain why we have a university.
 * If we want to increase Lovia's population, we could initiate a German-style Law of Return. This would to my mind be more realistic than saying 'yeah population suddenly increased to 200000.'


 * @#!*%, that famine killed 80% of the population or something... Did it kill any royals or celebrities? The Master&#39;s Voice 07:29, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, this is too much. If it goes from 180.000 to 3.000: where are the ruin cities? And also, take a look at Oceana (people) for other data which can't go with this. Anyway: we do have places like Scotland in Oceana which have been deserted (though prior to the famines, I could change it a bit to match it with this) I'd say we make it a little bit less radical to let's say 50.000 to 100.000. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 11:36, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * It is indeed much to drastic. And if we would go from 100,000 to 50,000, we would face another issue, because then we would have to explain why the population continued to drop even after the famine - because we are a small nation and have less then 50,000 citizens, if I'm not mistaken. The Master&#39;s Voice 11:54, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, a small scale drop after the famine could be possible due to emigration (people might be afraid of another famine) or because the harvest continued to be bad for a few years. Forcing farmers to search work elsewhere and lowering the number of child birth. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 15:19, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * The numbers of children born to Lovian women have always been remarkably low, especially the last decade, although most celebrities and politicians have quite a few nowadays... Maybe a (recent) increase or decrease in population has to do with immigration or emigration of Lovian nationals? The Master&#39;s Voice 15:41, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well I'm for creating the historical towns, but do not think killing off 180,000 Lovians is good. I'm sure the US would have send food and aid, maybe not officially but I'm sure local fundraisers would. HORTON11  15:56, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree. Atm it's too drastic. And historical towns... It'll be difficult to prevent people from creating 2.000 new villages within the next decade then :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 16:59, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

I also agree, it is too drastic. I'd like to see a peak of 30,000-ish before the famine knocks it down to 10,000. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 17:09, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, sounds okay. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 09:49, July 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * I can see this idea isn't too popular, at least in its current form. But I don't see the problems you've raised are insoluble:

Would it be possible to have at least a decrease from 100,000 to 10,000? --Semyon 20:46, July 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Having to change the pages of famous people: actually this is OK because 'royals and celebrities' wouldn't suffer too much in a famine.
 * Oceana statistics: also OK, as immigrants would probably stick to NC. Furthermore, it wouldn't surprise me if a nationalist governor introduced very strict immigration laws to prevent cultural dilution.
 * Ruined cities: personally I think it would be cool to have a ruined city lying about somewhere. But it wouldn't be hard to explain disappearance of the ruins. A flood could have swept them away, or a canny farmer might have razed them to the ground to create more land.
 * 180,000 people dying. Sorry, should have made this more clear. I intended emigration rather than death, tho' of course some would die. This is quite possible, see the Irish famine. Also, like I said, if we wanted to increase Lovia's population for the next census we could have a German or Israeli style 'Law of Return' whereby emigrants are allowed to return.
 * On the disappeared city/town issue: why not have the state razing the city in order to create a national park or something? A monument could remain (like a church building with a Great Famine Museum inside). Sounds fairly realistic to me.  05:45, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * A law of return would be nice, although I do not like the particular law by that particular people that you base this idea on, Semyon.
 * There would be other ways to increase the population numbers. How about a higher birth rate? We have a quite a few (conservative) Christians here, and also we have jews & muslims. All of these religious minorities typically have larger then average families. Surely that would mean the population could also go up the natural way. The Master&#39;s Voice 06:34, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * I feel that in 'western world countries' having a large religious community does not lead to high enough numbers to drastically increase birth rate. After all most mothers in religious families now study and work too. The opportunity cost for a child simply keeps rising, something only hardliners can escape (like our Amish community). 07:10, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, if the religious community is big enough, it will increase the birth rate significantly. Maybe not in a 300 million people country such as the US, but in a nation as small as Lovia it probably would. After all, the clergy of all three Abrahmic religions tend to ask from their churchgoers to "go forth and multiply". And there are plenty of atheists who have large families; didn't Darwin have ten? The Master&#39;s Voice 07:37, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * My point was that even within religious communities birth rates tend to decline when a certain level of welfare is reached. Only people who proactively seek to procreate in large numbers form an exception to this (mostly weirdo sects with numbers too small to be even called 'a minority'). Be fair, how many christians with their own kindergarten do you know? Even muslim immigrant families in Belgium have a declining birth rate - not weird considering the fact they held pretty high numbers before immigrating. The solution is to be sought in influx/outflux of population rather than humpetybumptying. 13:36, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Most rabbi's have somewhere between 5 & 15 children and they are usually rather wealthy people. Imam's also tend to have many children. They do not belong to "small weird sects", but to religions that are generally seen as more or less "mainstream". Roman Catholic families can also be very large. Wealthy or not, they are generally fertile people, and their priests, though celibate, encourage the community to be fertile. To most religious people, the family & churhc are the corner stones of our society. The Master&#39;s Voice 13:45, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yuri, I can give you ten families in Montfort with more than 8 children :P And Limburg may be a bit old-fashioned and poorer than the rest of the Netherlands, we still don't live in poverty :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 16:07, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's true. In the USA you have a family with 22 children, and both parents are well-educated, and the father of the family is a low-profile politician. We have some fertile people here, too... How about this one or this fella? The Master&#39;s Voice 16:12, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, our CCPL guy also has a few children :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 16:34, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Istvan and his horde of women and children trumps anyone here, but I would'nt condone that. Its quite immoral. And Yuri, your point is valid but not necessarily true. Many people want to have lots of kids, even if they have high welfare levels. HORTON11  16:42, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Mr. Ilava, pretty impressive! Well, at least you married all these women, unlike Donia & Istvan. The Master&#39;s Voice 16:52, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think you all missed my point: I know religious people have a higher mean fertility rate than non-religious people in western countries. Yet the overall mean fertility rate within religious communities in the western world is dropping, both of domestic an immigrant groups. Sure they can still have four or six children, but when you come from ten or twelve that is a dropping fertility rate, not? The examples you all mentioned are not a tendency but rather the exception on a quite different tendency. 05:50, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's dropping, but if you take a close look, you'll see that if the average number is 5 children, the religious population will probably double in about one generation :) --O u WTBsjrief-mich 08:53, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I just thought of this: doubling every generation is an exponential growth so within a few generation our small isles will be harmfully overpopulated. Birth control anyone?  06:11, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, perhaps only Amish Kinley, Little Europe and Oceana will be overpopulated :P And everybody knows you just want birth control, 'cause you commies are afraid of losing power when all those Christians get voting right :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 06:14, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * I only want to keep population in check since overpopulation is undeniably harmful. Besides, a growing religious community seldom sees a rise of unity in thought.  06:17, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not per se. If we live in harmony with nature, overpopulation will never occur :) Depends, if the other community decreases to 0 everybody'll be religious and then you'll get a unity in thought ;) --O u WTBsjrief-mich 16:54, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * When talking about disunity I meant disunity within the religious community. Growing numbers correlate with greater dissent somehow, though I'm unsure about stipulating a direct relation between the two. (Yuri typed five ~s instead of four I think) 19:45, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, a some children religious people will start to see the truth and abandon religion and go to atheism, so generally religious and nonreligious will grow at the same rate. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 22:13, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Everyone has their own view of the truth, yours isn't necessarily the one truth. Kunarian 23:32, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * The truth does not excist, there is only the view people have of the truth, which is a personal thing. I myself grew up religious but I abandonded Protestant (Reformed) Christianity because many, many things I read about in the Bible shocked or even disgusted me and the fanaticm of many churchgoers scared me a bit. The way I see it, Roman Catholicm might be more relaxt and eay-going and more compatible with my mind-set, yet at the same time, I really do not want to be part of a religious community or go to church. As a result of this, some relatives do not want to see me anymore. Religion is all fine for some, not for me. Religiously, I won't label myself. But I am closer to non0religiousness then to religiousness. I am not saying I "found the truth", I am only saying I did what felt best for me personally. The Master&#39;s Voice 07:31, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Kunarian, I'm joking. My point is that it is likelier for religious kids to convert to nonreligion than vice versa. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 11:33, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * @TimeMaster: And vice-versa, so actually that's won't have any effect. . And guys, you've strayed slightly from the original topic. I don't think this is quite relevant. --Semyon 07:40, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nope, not vice-versa, the religious to nonreligion is more common. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 11:33, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Depends on the time. Many Romans actually no longer believed in their gods (though I can't give the source of where I've heard that), but they did convert to Christianity. And do you really think Jehova's would never succeed in gaining souls? If they didn't, they would've stopped going around long ago :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 16:20, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Totally agree with Oos. No offence, TM, but I think you have a habit of giving half-true or outright false opinions as facts without justification. I almost burst a blood vessel when I read your 'the left-right distinction is simply economic, and everyone who disagrees with me is stupid' comment. According to my copy of Operation World, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism all have higher growth rates than irreligion (tho' if you're just talking about America then you are correct). --Semyon 18:49, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't say people who disagree with me are stupid. In theory, Left-right is economic and progressive-conservative is social, but actually it doesn't really matter what you think, it's just different names. Also, the growth of those religions are mostly due to the large (huge, 6,7,8+) birth rates in Asia and Africa, not Europe and North America, and not conversions from nonreligion. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 19:24, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * You're wrong :) : door verhuizing vanuit de grote steden en door de gezinsgrootte neemt de concentratie van bevindelijk gereformeerden in deze strook toe. Simply said: conservative Christian get more children, while non-CC's get less, non CC population drops, CC population increases. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 08:16, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Discussion 2
I think we should multiply all of the base population figures times eleven, and then re-add the population figures (I will do all this). This way we will be more realistic for our size (we are much over the size of microstates, and yet they have more than 20,000 people as well). Anyone agree? —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 17:44, September 6, 2011 (UTC)

Edison Electric
Point 1. Alright. Horton made this electric company a while back. However, as Economic Involvement Act ordered the creation of the Lovian Energy Company, Edison would have been forced to become part of LEC. I think we should simply move EE to the LEC and change a few things. (discuss)

Point 2. Why did EE expand to Brunant? Sorry Horton, but I don't like the random links to Brunant that appear in your pages. The Brunant-stuff should be limited to the Royal Family if we have any. (discuss)

What do you think? We need a LEC page. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 22:13, July 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * The Lovian Electric Company is a must though links to Edison Electric, Ecompany and others can be included in a 'predecessors' subtitle. I suggest rewriting the (recent) history of Edison Electric in order to fit a merger into the state-operated LEC. 06:13, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * This is outrageous! I will not have big government take over my companies. But seriously, I don't support it. And what shocks me is that you, Time master, a liberal supports this. Would it be possible for this to become a state-involved company. Also:


 * I would be willling to remove the Brunant thing, now that I see it most electric companies operate only in one country.
 * The law specifically asked for the creation of a Lovian Energy Company HORTON11  14:04, July 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Energy and Electric companies are the same thing, I've fixed it now also. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 15:58, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * @Horton: In the past Congress agreed upon placing the creation and distribution of power (electricity) under a state-operated monopoly. If this comes as a surprise to you I'm sorry that things were not as clear as they are supposed to be, but you can't just ignore this. 16:04, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I personally do not think state operated monopolies are good. I support state funding though. But if EE must be under government control I would like for it to be independently operated, or just keeping the name and logo. HORTON11  16:47, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, maybe you should make a proposal in Congress to change the law. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 17:20, July 14, 2011 (UTC)

Goodbye people, I'm leaving the site. Have fun. The Master&#39;s Voice 06:16, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Goodbye. It would be a good idea to gift away your MOTC, not to me but let's say the CCPL and CPC. 08:35, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nope, I'll be hanging on to them... the UNS will remain MOTC's, regardless of my activity or inactivity. I asked for a position, a job, a function, I didn't get shit. So fuck it, I don't care anymore. The Master&#39;s Voice 09:18, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand your frustration yet feel that leaving won't solve anything. Unless you are attempting some kind of emotional blackmailing there is no point in leaving. 10:36, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, that would have failed massively. The Government has already been formed and the proposal for it's composition has already reached the required majority so it can be installed and inaugurated. I can basically do anything you guys can, but I lack an official title and function and thus lack a clear goal. I can either work hard on proposals that will most likely fail anyway, or I can yell "unfair!" and vote "Contra" on all your proposals, which would be very lame and unproductive. Also: I do not have enough Congressmen with me to even block a single proposal. So, as I said: I can't do shit. The Master&#39;s Voice 10:50, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * As you leave, I'm coming back! Don't go! You'd be doing Lovia's conservative population a dishonor, at least you tried, you voted, and thats what counts. Master, would you like to help me out with the Agricultural department? I'm gonna be focusing on the police more and I'll need some one to keep up with the DoAiT. Nathaniel Scribner 11:17, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Agriculture really isn't my thing. Maybe I could be tempted to return if a really interesting position was offered to me... How about the position of Supreme Court Judge? The same unactive and controversial guy has been on that position since 2010 and he still has not been replaced. My knowledge of Lovian Law is sufficient, as I have studied it thoroughly. The Master&#39;s Voice 11:24, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

 * Haha, I don't want a low position, like a bone you throw your dog. I am not looking for the leftovers here, I want a piece of the action. That's what brought me to this site. To have superiors above me is not really my thing, in all honesty. I'm not being rude, I'm being honest. It is friendly of you to offer me a job, but it just isn't what I am looking for. The Master&#39;s Voice 11:34, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

 * Unite the parties? I doubt it. I almost had Dae-su with me but there where fundamental differences between the two of us so he went his own way (and became unactive). The former IGP members are all banned or they left; none of them replied to any of my messages. And as for other parties on the righ-wing: CCPL is very, very moderate compared to the UNS. Which leaves me with little to no allies at all. Being isolated together is one thing but being isolated alone simply isn't fun. The Master&#39;s Voice 11:47, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

 * Well, discuss it with Government-buddies - you are no certain that you can keep your position at the Federal Police because that is a position you can only get by being appointed. If you don't play this right you might end up with nothing which would kinda suck. The Master&#39;s Voice 12:01, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nah! If I lose that, then I'll keep my head up. DoAiT is my position, I'll appoint as my deputy to take my spot, how I like, and when. Nathaniel Scribner 12:08, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

I can either go with the flow or go against all waves, it depends on the situation. I can shift, switch, turn, persuade & be persuaded, live and let live... One day I am as extreme as shit, the other day I am as peaceful as an old Buddhist. Depends on my mood, I guess. I am not afraid to touch taboos but some things are sometimes better left unsaid.

Though I admit support can be gathered by playing the masses and exploiting their grievances, change is always shaped by an intellectual vanguard.

Has anyone here ever been to Luxembourg? One of my uncles (who summers there) has invited us and I would liek to know if its worth going there. HORTON11 19:10, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

 * @Horton: I've been there with some friends last summer. Ideal for camping trips, walking about in the woods, etc. If you like walking or riding the bicycle you could give it a try. Nothing out of the ordinary though. 07:06, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * @Horton: I've been there too. Indeed, beautiful nature, rock formations, and of course also some culture, especially in the capital city. @Pikapi: Well, ever seen Vatican City? :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 08:25, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * @Ooswesthoesbes: Oh, the Vatican... Well no, I don't even think that it had appeared on any map of western Europe that I've ever seen. It's miniscule. Isn't that entire nation just the Vatican, by the way?--COP Christopher Costello (Pikapi - Discuss) 15:46, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

New Wikia
I have created a new wikia about a caribbean islands nation. It is in spanish but I would like to know if can anyone help me. Granero 21:21, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think there has ever been a Spanish Wikination, so good choice on making one. You should ask a Wikia staff member to change the wiki's operating language to Spanish. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 12:43, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

I still like my conecpt of Micronations...that are fake and i think it's a good idea beacuse it's on a smaller scale for thing and countries can then interact with each other. Here's the link:http://fantasymicronation.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity

Important public notice
Dear fellow Lovians,

It's been a while since you saw more than a glimpse of me. In the past six months, I have finally said goodbye to my beloved project, Wikination. For me, it's always been hard not to be here. I often chose to be around just now and then, but that didn't work out. Once you follow up on a topic or a page, you keep returning. Since that was exactly what I no longer wanted to do (be here night and day), I decided to put an end to it.

For the first time in this wiki's history, the project survived more or less without me hanging around. That's great news! Of course, I regret that things are going this or that way; but since I'm no longer involved, I am at peace with that.

I hereby announce that I am officially and permanently off Wikination.

Whether you would like to keep King Dimitri I of Lovia as your (absent and therefore perfect?) king, is up to the community. Whether you maintain the (sleeping) monarchy, dito. I have my reasons to believe that it's part of this nation's character to be a monarchy - it needn't be one whereby the King is a dictator or even an active politician. That era's long gone.

I leave all these things up to the full and active community of this wiki to decide. Whatever you deem responsible and viable, and good for Lovia's future, is fine with me.

Now, that is that. I hope you all enjoy your stay here!

Two more short memos:
 * 1) I am doing fine! I'm onto my third bachelor's year at Uni and all is well. (Although I wish the Belgian weather would be more like Lovia's.)
 * 2) I have begun a blog called Monticello to Walden. I will deal with various topics related to America, more specifically things that fall into the categories of politics, literature and nature/environment. I would like it very much if you came by the blog, pay a short visit, read a little here and there, or leave a comment. If you already have a Blogger account, be sure to "Follow" the blog.

At last, I wish to express my confidence in the way things go over here. I have special confidence (as I have always have and always will) in Yuri Medvedev, "Regaliorum". If there would be any doubt on anything concerning me or the monarchy, you can always contact him. His judgment is by far the wisest I could recommend.

Bye and see you later (some place else)!

Best, Dimitri
 * 10:51, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

Well, that's both good and bad news. Maybe I will check your blog out sometime later. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 11:07, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

I love MtW i've already read everything =p Pour Dimi tho =] Good luck. Marcus/Michael Villanova 23:09, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

Well, it was to be expected è. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 06:47, September 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Congratulations on your success at university! I will try and take a closer look at your blog when I am less busy. --Semyon 15:05, September 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks Semyon!
 * @OWTB: Sure it was . The last six months were sort of a test period for myself. I hope you don't blame me for leaving you all in the lurch. This official announcement hopefully opens up opportunities that had been sealed while I was still the dominant player.
 * @blog-readers: Thanks for visiting ^^. My statistics show quite an influx of readers from the UK, the Netherlands and even Canada, which is very nice ^^.
 * 16:45, September 8, 2011 (UTC) (BTW, isn't it time to archive this page? )
 * No, of course not :) This wiki is dying anyway, so I think that we'll all have to leave it soon. I guess we now need to hold an election for a new "archiver", as this used to be your task :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 05:09, September 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Very sad to see you go, Dimitri. But there is a time of coming, and a time of going, as they say. As Oos already said; Lovia is dying no matter what happens. It is dying very slowly, but still, it's dying. Well, take care and good luck with your blog. It looks promising! The Master&#39;s Voice 16:20, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

 * Well My fantasy micronation wikia is doing fine =] Marcus/Michael Villanova 23:53, September 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * This is depressing news. You don't really have to put it that way... On a lighter note, why not try and have Wikia spotlight us? --COP Christopher Costello (Pikapi - Discuss) 01:56, September 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Good one, Pikapi! If I remember correctly there already was a concensus about the spotlight-issue. Why isn't it there yet? Or is it already? Has it been requested already at the central wikia? Andmins, Yuri, anyone? Help me out here. The Master&#39;s Voice 09:43, September 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry you guys, but it's closing time for me - my wikia days are over. If you want to continue/revive this wiki just find a consensus on a new and qualified admin. I suggest either Oos or Timemaster but it's really up to the community. Again sorry if this came as a (little) shock to any of you. 07:46, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

We did try to get spotlighted, but we don't have a custom wikia logo and skin. (of the new skin, not the old, that is) —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 11:29, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I am afraid the site is dead, then. It was fun while it lasted but with all the veterans gone I honestly don't see the site reviving any time soon (if ever). Maybe in couple of years, when everybody has more time on their hands, we could try and make something out of the site again. Or maybe, before that, a group of new people will come along and revive things. For now, I think the site is dead, Lovia is dead. In fact: the minute people left temporarily for setting up new wiki's, (saying they would come back), Lovia died. Because it just doesn't work that way. Quite frankly, I don't have too much time on my hands either. And the time I do have on my hands I'd rather not spend trying to save a project that is as unactive as this site. Sorry, but it appears to be over. Maybe Lars' leaving was the final straw? I kinda think he was a vital element of old Lovia. And new Lovia didn't quite work out. The Master&#39;s Voice 20:01, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah... BLAME MARCUS for making new wikis (seriously, kind of true though). :P Maybe we should just demand Yuri keep being active. People just "don't have enough damn time" on their hands anymore... Or... maybe they do? —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 01:00, September 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * The Master's Voice is on to something I believe. I am a product of the 'old Lovia' and I've seen a lot of veterans leaving. Not that you guys aren't good enough to ensure a fun wiki, but I can't seem to get around a comparison of old and new. The glory days as I new them are over and it is best to accept that. The least I can do is make place for a new generation which I am more than willing to do. 07:50, September 18, 2011 (UTC)

I don't care that you are a product of the old Lovia, please just stay here. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 11:44, September 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * This is not an idle decision, I've given it much thought. The past half year I've been involved in multiple other wiki's, mainly to escape from this boredom. Lovia's spell has worked out, for me its charm is gone. The pain I get by looking at this terminal patient falling into darkness has finally become bigger than the pain I caused by leaving. And so I leave. 14:40, September 18, 2011 (UTC)

Aargh! You're only making it worse. Just stay here. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 15:18, September 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's like sitting at a big table, TimeMaster. A big old, oaken table. It used to be the table of a King and meals were served fit for a King - huge roasted pigs on the turnspit, giant filled turkeys, all that stuff, served on silver plates. At the table sat great men and women, they had great conversations and they all had a blast.
 * Now, however, the King and his noble friends are gone and you sit at this wonderful table, all alone. It's still a beautiful table, but on your plate, now plain iron, there is only a simple meal and all the people that used to sit at this great big table are gone. That's what Lovia is like now - only just the table, everything else is no longer there. This is basically how I see Lovia today, in my point of view. Not a very pleasant thought.
 * If you'll succeed in returning Lovia back to it's former glory, I think that it will be very hard, if not impossible, to do so. But maybe, just maybe, TM & Semyon, you'll be able to pull it off with the help of Marcus, Horton and some other good editors. It's a slim chance though. Because Lovia started off in 2008 as a nation under construction, and a group of nice people created the wiki, wrote Lovia's history and had a blast, while engaging in politics at the same time. They wrote tremendous bills, a constition... hell, they even had exciting trials and political schemes, elections, (failed) civil war(s)... It was lively, and it was great!
 * But I can't get over the idea that maybe, just maybe, Lovia is done now. Lovia's history has been written, Lovia's political system has collapsed, most if not all of it's finest editors have left, and moved on - either online or in real life - or both.
 * As for me: I still love Lovia, I think it is a wonderful website and I hate to let it go, but I am afraid there is no other choice. I don't have the time to commit myself to actively contributing to the site, and why would I, if nothing ever happens? I could of course drop by every now and then, comment on some things, vote on some proposals, sure. But someone's gotta create or expand those articles for me to comment on, or write those law proposals for me (and others) to vote on. I won't be that person, sorry.
 * The Master&#39;s Voice 21:10, September 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * I share TMV's view on this: Lovia isn't any longer a work in progress, there aren't much new things to try. And to be honest, I really miss the people I closely cooperated with in the past: King Dimitri, the Walden folks, judge Jefferson, Harold, commies like Censuree and Johnson, ... I had a lot in common with them but they left the table. 06:46, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

All because of studying for exams/school. I think people can spare a minute on wikination with school... —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 11:00, September 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * In a way I agree with you on that, TimeMaster. However, it's not only school. There is also friends, family, girlfriends, relatives, sports, hobbies, a (part time or full time) job; any of those or multiple... Quite frankly, in the little spare time I have left I am tired like a dog, to tell you the truth wikination isn't exactly my priority then after a long day of work & study & stuff.
 * @Yuri: I miss these people aswell. The fact that Marcus, Hannis and Horton left isn't very positive either, and I'm sure there are many more names I forgot to mention that were a valuable addition to Lovian society. Right now, Lovia is not only a ship without a captain (or PM left us), but also without a crew. At least, not enough crew to sail the ship. The Master&#39;s Voice 12:35, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Horton's active on Conworlds wiki. I'll give him the memo. I've only been waiting for a day for Marcus, who is active on other wikis, so I think he is fine. Hannis left a long time ago, although he keeps popping on from time to time. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 22:36, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

The poetic manner in which everyone is complaining. Why not think of things from a brighter point of view. Yeah, we don't have manny contributers now, and everyone's getting bored, and feels they have better things to do... but, all we need is a little popularity boost and we'd have enough fuel to keep us going for maybe a year. Time that we can use to think up another, more elaborate scheme, and to better consider our goals. Sure, we can all take our breaks for now, but I hate seeing people who have such a nice outlook on things mature to the point where they don't care about their wikis anymore. The internet is a graveyard of abandoned websites. Do we really need another website in the heap. Finally, keep in mind, that just because this car is out of fuel, we don't need to throw it out. --COP Christopher Costello (Pikapi - Discuss) 03:07, September 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, in my opinion it's better not to have a car at all, as that's a symbol of modern and unnecessary technology :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 03:19, September 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * @Pikapi: that seems to be the logic of the losing side. Remember Vietnam? The States dug themselves in deeper and deeper even as the losses grew bigger. Simply because they didn't want to abandon the 'investments' they made (people, financially, credibility, etc.). I don't feel like keeping this wiki going forever simply because I invested time in the past. 05:22, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

Everybody, don't make statements that you are leaving and leave!! Please just stay here and try to get the wiki active again. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 01:45, September 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Right now, me, Yuri and Oos are still responding every once in a while. That would mean that we aren't officially gone yet, nor really fully here... The Master&#39;s Voice 09:12, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

State Elections
It's time for state elections! They will be a good event for activity and all those old inactive governors will be replaced by active people. Nominations started a few days ago, but I forgot about it. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 01:45, September 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Awesome. :) --Semyon 07:35, September 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * I doub't you'll have enough people as governors, let alone enough people to fill the places of the deputy governors... even if all (kinda) active people would run, of the seat of governor would be filled, not that of deputy governor. We lack the ammount of people needed to replace all ten of 'em. The Master&#39;s Voice 09:10, September 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed, probably the worst timing for a state election is right now. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 14:10, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

The law demands it. I guess semi-active people are better than inactive people. . . I mean, I would love to be governor. I'm sure you, horton, semyon, and ouwtb, and yuri would also enjoy it. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 01:18, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll never give up my Oshenna harven :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 06:56, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Then it appears we have five people who might run, so that at least we can fill in the position of governor. That's a good start. If we don't have people to serve as deputies we could either keep the current deputies where they are or replace them with random (unactive) people. The Master&#39;s Voice 11:12, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

Seven people who might run. . . Unless Marcus never returns, which would make it six. And, we can just have people run unopposed. That is perfectly legal. Oh, and Chris might decide to run. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 11:44, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Even if only two people would run, I'd still be "perfectly legal"... there isn't any minimum ammount of people who should run set in the law. ;-) The Master&#39;s Voice 11:47, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

Ideas
Seeing as people don't want to revive, we could try and attract new people. We could possibly instate a new monarch, for some reason it seems people are attracted too the idea of royalty. If we want to do this, I have an idea to install a new King. But its kinda all up to TimeMaster, seeing your the only one wanting to stay with the project. -Sunkist- 02:34, September 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Again: I never said I am going to leave. And I'm contra installing a new monarch. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 03:29, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Meh, not really, it's just that it is a bit small for our liking, and then Horton overdid the Prince James thing he proposed, putting his own characters in the royal family, so I undid it, and then there was a huge edit war, and then we talked it over on chat and activity died again. . . And Dimi should probably stay King because he'll probably rejoin later. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 11:06, September 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Dimitri has to remain King, simply because his character right now is young, healthy and recently married. There is no reason for him not to be on the throne unless we change a couple of things in his story-line, which we cannot do without the King's permission.
 * He'll probably be on the throne for many years to come, and there would be some fresh virtual heirs to the throne once the character fathers some children, after which there will be zero discussion as to who would succeed him once he abdicates or dies. What we could do, however, is ask Dimitri if he would agree to something that would boost the King's activity. We could write that he has fallen ill, for example, and his wife or brother could rule Lovia as co-regent untill his return, while controlled by another active user (Horton, Marcus, TimeMaster or anyone else will do). This way, we would have an active monarch and monarchy. For this you would require Dimitri's permission though. Which I think he would gladly grant you. You can mail him or possibly reach him through Yuri. One thing we won't be doing though is replacing him in any permanent way. It will be a temporary solution; let there be no confusion when it comes to his rightful claim to the throne. But someone to step in and fill in for him, so to speak, might not be a bad idea at all.
 * What do you people say? The Master&#39;s Voice 12:59, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

I have a storyline idea. . . Maybe Dimi should get cancer IC and be in the hospital for a few months until he returns (hopefully OOC but maybe not), during which Alexander could rule. . . though what good would it do? We already have our individual characters and with the death of Member by Right status, he's not that useful. We should just use the King as a character when we need to. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 20:30, September 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * You are aware that Prince Alexander is a real user too? User:Wikalex --O u WTBsjrief-mich 06:23, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Yup. But we can use him anyway for RP. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 11:03, September 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * We could use either him or Dimitri's wife, the Queen of Lovia. There is no user directly behind her (except for maybe Dimitri). Because of the King's brother's youth, and her position, she would only be a logical choice. If Dimitri were to die (which I am against, by the way), only then would his brother take over (unless Dimitri has father a child and heir to the throne by then).
