News: Everyone has at least two votes and Ilava takes the lead with seventeen votes, ahead of Villanova's sixteen. Krosby is third, with eleven, and Costello and Abrahams are tied for fourth with ten. And we have exactly 100 votes cast! —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 16:11, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just as I imagined... Costello does well and so does Positive Lovia as a whole, but their expectation for having +50% of seats is just impossible. They overreached and expected too much. Just like CCPL in the January 2011 elections, when we expected to win and lost a very important seat (Bucu's) right at the end. Congrats for Oos, he does great! The glorious First Consul of Rome 16:15, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Literally no one that is not in the Coalition is casting votes for them. I'm not sure what is happening, but all the other people are making so much gains from votes from inactive people that it's crazy. They DID have 50 seats in the early elections. They're down to 22 now. (yes, 22...) —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 16:17, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, and if Yuri decided to be a jerk and move the red line up one person on the last day of the 2011 elections, then Edward would've gotten eliminated as well you would've only had two people in Congress. :D —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 16:18, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

I'm quite comfortable that the conservative Christian voice will still be heard this year. At first I was afraid we wouldn't make it, but as long as I keep at least my 16 seats I'm very happy :) Unfortunately, Donia still does not get passed the 3 votes, but he can count on my support (as can Semyon). --O u WTBsjrief-mich 16:19, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I am still waiting for you and Semyon to give me a vote, Oos. Is this some sorta political strategy I don't understand to vote so late or what? The glorious First Consul of Rome 16:26, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Probably I'm just too lazy to vote without time pressure :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 16:30, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Probably. The glorious First Consul of Rome 16:34, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

 * LP/CPL.nm - 39

 * Marcus/Michael Villanova 16:44, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

The statistics seem wrong. McCrooke only has 4 votes, not 8. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 18:28, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Warning!


...to become addictive ...to hurt ...to kill!

Luckily the Labour Party has plans to combat this evil. If elected into office, we will: If you only get one thing out of this it is to VOTE LABOUR and VOTE JUSTIN ABRAHAMS HORTON11 :  •  22:34, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Increase tariffs on cigarette manufacturing and imports
 * enforce mandatory health warning labels on cigarette cases
 * increase penalties for selling cigarettes to minors

Agreed, except the minor-specific thing is kind of weird. It doesn't damage their lungs anymore than it does to an adult. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 22:42, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Remember "19, it's the law". And the earlier you give someone a smoke, the earlier they're likely to die. HORTON11 : •  22:47, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

So why not just expand it to everyone? And I don't believe someone will die more than a small amount earlier than a normal smoker would if they start earlier. And are you sure 19 is the law? —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 22:54, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you can't live to a ripe old age and still smoke... Sorry, but that's just bullshit you guys. I'll say here what I said in the speakers corner:

Johannes Heesters died two weeks ago at 108. He was still singing and playing in movies. He smoked for 90+ years, and he drank a lot of alcohol too. No cancer, no health problems, no trouble with his voice. Winston Churchill would be another example: he smoked and drank like there ain't no tommorrow and he made it to 90. He was also pretty obese. My next-door neigbor, who was a vegetarian, drank smoothies and fruitshakes and always went jogging, died at 46 from a heart-attack. Now I'm not saying smoking and drinking is good for you. That'd be silly. But happy people generally live much longer and more satisfying lifes then health-freaks who are always stressed out about how many calories they consume or afraid to inhale a little bit of smoke by accidant. Just sayin'. Let the people smoke! It's their own personal choice. The glorious First Consul of Rome 22:56, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Sure people have a right to smoke, but what if it infringes on other's right to not want to. There IS second (and even 3rd) hand smoke, and that is not bullshit. As I said, my grandpa died from smoke-related causes, and he was not happy at all. A bunch of medical checkups, lots of pills and even bedridden at points. HORTON11 : •  22:59, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Smoking actually is proven to lower the lifespan. I agree, though, with both of you. It is people's right to smoke (and to have marijuana, alcohol, etc.) but 2nd hand smoke needs to be prevented. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 23:01, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * A lower lifespan isn't that bad, really. It means less costs for the state, less money to spend on pensions and less money spend on taking care of the elderly in retirement homes. On a more personal note: Horton, I am terribly sorry to hear what happened to your grandfather. Guess he just had bad luck. At 71, my grandfather can still carry a refrigerator up a flight of stairs and he has been smoking for the last 55 years. His father lived to be 95 and he smoked (and drank) too. The glorious First Consul of Rome 23:09, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * The glorious First Consul of Rome, smoking realy is bad so I support this initiative. Granero 00:51, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I recon we should combat smoking like all things damaging to oneself, however not through banning but through introduction of a company (sponsored by the state) that produces http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_cigarette which are better for you and reusable causing less waste, they also stop second hand smoke and if done well enough could replace normal cigarettes. Then get other major corporations and companies that have retail branches in Lovia to sell them at a lower price than normal cigarettes. One idea, any other suggestions? 86.24.15.23 16:52, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not to break your dream, but if you are a real smoker you get depressed from electronic cigarettes. They do not give you the same satisfaction as a real cigarette and it's way easier to overdose them. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 16:54, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, no solution is perfect but this is a good one. Depression is a withdrawal sympton, what I'm saying is that we can stop people from going to them at an early age and instead buying cheaper and in the end healthier product. Plus we can stop overdose quite easily by limiting the sellable amount of nicotine liquid solutions to 6-10 ml/mg, those aren't overdose numbers. But honestly I think if we work on this we can combat the health problem that smoking itself causes, we don't need to ban anything nor waste money on attack ads against smokers. 86.24.15.23 17:06, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Nice try, I'm gonna keep my daily smoke though :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 17:11, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * We could introduce electronic cigarettes and to offset the costs the government could raise taxes/prices on conventional smokes. And Oos, smoke all you want but don't pollute my air and the air of all Lovians. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 17:21, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think we've found our solution. Most seasoned smokers won't change but thats their choice and I think that we've done well here actually, we've sustained freedom of choice and moved towards a healthier Lovia. Plus Horton I think personal smoking isn't as bad second hand smoke as that from cars/factories, they are target number 1. 86.24.15.23 17:24, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Horton, please read the federal law first. Lovia already has one of the highest taxes on tobacco world-wide. It makes no sense to make it even higher. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 17:37, January 10, 2012 (UTC)===Not true===

Our mainfesto is clear, sorry horton, But we're pro smoke. We're a bit libertarian-Socialist if there is such a thing. Horton may support it but I don't. But like all great parties there are divisions and differences. But for the record I am PRO hemp and smoke PRO laws fineing people alot of money when they smoke around minors, and such. Marcus/Michael Villanova 22:53, January 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Very true, just introduce electric smokes with limitation on their dosage, I'll write a bill for the government after elections. 86.24.15.23 17:41, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

Tired of this?


With more cars, traffic jams are becoming more of an issue in Lovia. On top of that, there is no public transit system to offset that and other environmental effects. Lovia's Labour Party would like to create public transit and make it greener. If you vote LABOUR in the current elections, you can be sure to see: Vote Labor for a green tomorrow. See you at the polls. HORTON11 : •  19:31, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * a public transportation system in place throught Lovia's main cities
 * greener buses (Hybrid and Electric)
 * tax credits for energy-efficient personal vehicles


 * All this green energy is to distract from the damage to Lovia itself that the transit system could do, Lovia is hardly a bustling metropolis and so something less permanent would work better, such as a sea transit system, which wouldn't require any building of railways and would go to every major city as they all border the sea. However within cities public transit could work easily as long as it is minimised. Tax credits also cost more bureaucracy so why not instead just lower everyones taxes and then tax more those with particularly nasty gas guzzlers? Vote LUKAS HOFFMANN for a green innovational system. Kunarian 19:48, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * The thing is, we have a bunch of rail services but no buses. We can offer tax credits and still offset the costs by taxing the gas guzzlers (like you suggested). And sea-buses are terribly expensive (ex. Paris and Venice) but funded well enough they could work. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 20:07, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'd prefer a system where we don't damage Lovian countryside or even reclaim it if it's already damaged and respond with better road transport (like you said) and by changing larger transport to sea, it wouldn't be too expensive at all with a green system implemented. Also we should still in my opinion just lower taxes and tax the gas guzzlers twice rather than tax credit systems, they cost more to operate. Kunarian 20:12, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

AAAARGHHH!!!!

Y U NO LIKE CARS??

I love cars, modern ones, classics concepts (but not 70s landyachts). But the thing is, we need more buses and green cars (not all are boring, Look at the Tesla roadster). HORTON11 : •  19:40, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

SO WE KEEP CAR AND WE GET FUGLY BUS TOO? THATS NOT HELPING?!

Y U SAY U NO WANT TRAFFIC THEN SAY U LIKE CARS? U NO LIKE CARS!!!

I'm an admin on the cars wiki, I created a car show here and I go to real ones lots of times. So don't call a car guy not a fan of cars. You probably don't like them at all and are just trying to anger me and others. And who said we're getting fugly buses. We can get really nice and modern ones HORTON11 : •  19:47, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

And btw, speak correctly. HORTON11 : •  19:48, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

Y U NO LIKE OLD CLASSIC BUSSSS LIKE ENGLISH BUS WHICH IS DOUBLE BUSS LIKE TWICE A NORMAL BUS AND RED?!?!

Y U NO DRIVE CAR THESELVES?????

Y U CRITICIZE ME!!!

You're the one making accusations and criticizing, so don't blame me. If you need something to blame, Blame it on the Alcohol, the Bossa Nova but not me. And btw I do like old English double-deckers, but they're not very practical to run anymore. HORTON11 : •  20:01, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

Labour Party on Christianity and Gay Marriage
Just because your a Christian doesn't mean God appreciates what you do. I'll let that simmer... Marcus/Michael Villanova 22:50, January 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Personally, I'm against gay marriage, but to be honest, I'm against any form of marriage in the first place, so... On a more serious note, I'm against politicians poking in on religion. By the way, isn't Andrew Villanova, your brother, openly homosexual and a member of the Labour Party?--— Christopher Costello (Pikapi • Chat  • What's up ) 23:08, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

The LDP also strongly supports Gay Marriage, as well as other social rights like Abortion. Abortion is not murder, unless you consider euthanizing animals murder. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 23:20, January 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * @chris-yup Marcus/Michael Villanova 00:31, January 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 1 Corinthians 6:9


 * So then where do you stand on this? Are you against it, for it? — Christopher Costello (Pikapi • Chat  • What's up ) 01:39, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * I fully agree with Sunkist. There is nothing against male preference, but there is something against homosexual sex. Some even argue that gay men should marry women (because of the fertility promise), but that is quite hard. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 06:33, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind for it is an abomination. Let men be men and women be women. And let all of us act the way nature intended them to act. Even those with sinful urges and unnatural feelings for members of the same sex. And let marriage be between a man and a woman, as it has always been. The glorious First Consul of Rome 10:51, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * -Sunkist-, I'm unhappy with how religious you've became. The Bible cannot be put in law for ANYTHING at all, in my opinion. Christians can read their book as much as they want, but it's not their right to take away the rights of others. Also, I think the bible is 100% lie. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 11:58, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm a little iffy on gay marriage and abortion. Im not really for it but neither am I against it (a state of perpetual limbo). Anyways the government should not mess around witth this, churches should choose if they want to accept gays getting married. TM, you're right in saying that the Bible should not be used as law, but its not a lie. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 12:03, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * How can you take away rights that do not even excist as we speak, TimeMaster? Tell me how to do it, 'cuz I'm quite sure it's not possible. As for the Bible being 100% lie, I dunno. I know it isn't 100% correct (the Chosen People bullshit always puts me off and the genocide of the Amalekites disgusts me) but there is plenty of truth and wisdom to be found in the Bible, if you are willing to look for it and open to it's teachings and the symbolism (which only stupid people take completely literal).

 * I do, but not so much that old editors can't come back and maybe go a do some worthwhile edits so they can vote. One of the more important things I want to bring in is that you can only make one vote for your party, this would stop situations where one party gets major votes simply due to its size. Kunarian 00:19, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I suppose the first of your ideas is good, Kunarian. The second one about people being allowed to vote only once on their own party is bullshit. Big parties naturally perform better then the smaller ones. That's not weird or unusual or "unfair", it's how politics work. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. The glorious First Consul of Rome 08:39, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

However from your persons page I can also see they have their own medical corporation, which is great! because my party believes in competitive economics so I hope that we can co-operate in the future.

 * Hoffmann left your coalition. Also, the fact his party is the Conservative Nationalist Party seems to me to be a pretty big hint. :P But I'll leave it until he turns up himself. --Semyon 21:21, January 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Technically I am not part of the Conservative Coalition or Liberal but still allied with both the conservatives and liberals parties. I left for reasons that I'm sure you know, I still haven't joined or rejoined a coalition. Kunarian 21:48, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Why CCPL?
Why CCPL, you ask? That's an easy one! Because God, my brothers and sisters, is just effing awesome. He is, in fact, so awesome, that I won't even be cursing in this message. The awesomeness is well-illustrated by the poster I will add below: Please, vote CCPL. Because my friends, CCPL is very cool and very hip. And CCPL spreaks your language. And knows what YOU want. And WHY you want what you want. Because God told us. So, vote CCPL. That's basically the message.

 * In a nutshell. This is one of the best electoral campaigns I've seen for a long time; congrats. :P --Semyon 21:18, January 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks brother! Now how about Oos as our second CCPL Prime Minister? I was the first and that didn't work out so well, but I'm sure he'll do much better. He isn't quite as controversial and people don't go around suing his ass and dragging him into trials, so I think he'll be fine. You're doing quite well as an independent too, btw.

New people coming to Lovia!
I would like the thought of a Mormon LRC to accompany to the Amish Kinley. And with the same laws and rules set out for the legallity of the Amish LRC. The name would be the same as the Amish like "Mormon Train Village" or "Mormon Kinley". Just wherever, prime locations would be in north kings, a settlement on another island of Seven or somewhere in Oceana. Marcus/Michael Villanova 21:49, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

I'm opposed, sorry. The Mormons should just come and live in existing towns, cities, and villages. Amish are opposed to technology, so it makes sense for them to have their own place. But Mormons aren't. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 22:55, January 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Alright, any body else? Also some mormons are actually also opposed to technology. Marcus/Michael Villanova 23:04, January 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Use Plains. -- 00:35, January 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think MOST mormons are opposed to technology, though. Only a very small number of them. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 00:50, January 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's not cool, man. I'm a Mormon, and I live in NYC. ---''It's all here, black and white, clear as crystal. 02:25, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

Make business as interestig as politics (again)
We have a problem: this site is too much centered about becoming and being a politician. The other ways to play (as simply businessman or may be just as a simple supermarket worker) aren't just as interesting as becoming a politcian. That won't generate a diverse userbase. On Lovia every user is the same (maybe echocho is a exception): first start a company, then making that company, then trying to get into politics. We need to get people into different game sectors than just combining politics with having a company. We maybe also should also have more IC involvement in to running the businesses Pierlot McCrooke 09:27, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Politics is simply the most interesting thing to do, though. We definitely shouldn't force people to not do politics. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 11:59, February 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * wehsould not but we should discourage more users from joining politics. WE also should make IC involvement in companies 77.248.45.236 14:54, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Problem is that in politics you have to earn stuff, in business you can type everything down and you get it instantly. No limitations, no sustainable fun really. Kunarian 17:17, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Justice Ministry calls election of Justice - I got a case to file!
Look, I need to sue many people right now, and as Justice Minister let's appoint a Chief Justice already... Nominations will be managed by Bill An. -- 14:56, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

Comments
Judicial reform first please. --Semyon 15:25, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * What? -- 15:25, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Please read our constitution, why can't these newbies and even sorta newbies understand, we run like a normal country. One guy can't just say "We're gonna have elections again" or "I am governor of the sea" or "Judicial Elections" first it has to pass congress, write a law and propose it. If it becomes law its law. Marcus/Michael Villanova 15:28, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, that was a bit cryptic. The last judge we had was highly corrupt and gave a six month block to Donia for creating the page about the Brigade. Now IMO we first need to pass a law that says that two (or three) judges must be appointed and must agree on every case, to avoid such a situation happening again. @Marcus: I believe Jeff is simply calling for people to put themselves forward so he can choose someone to nominate to congress, nothing to worry about. --Semyon 15:30, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * I guess it could be that too :P Marcus/Michael Villanova 15:34, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Haha. :P Still, I think we need to change the law first so there's more than one judge. --Semyon 15:36, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * We could do what the Oldest republic in the world, San Marino, dose, put foward like 5 congressmen and change in and out to decide judicial matters. Like let's say from January to May the council is Me, Oos, Semyon, Jeff and Horton. Then like in May we choose again and it's Oos, Semyon, Wabba, Horton and Timemaster. Just as an example. Marcus/Michael Villanova 15:42, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * I actually quite like that idea. But I think 3 is enough. --Semyon 15:45, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * And if we don't have permanent judges, accusations of bias would be unfounded (unless everyone is in on a secret conspiracy). HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 15:46, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

@Semyon: You read my mind! Mr. Villanova needs to Assume Good Faith. Propose a law, I like the San Marino idea. -- 15:47, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

I think we can agree and propose a San Marino-quese law with the congressmen. Marcus/Michael Villanova 15:50, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

It has to be a modification to the Constitution, though. —TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 15:56, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

Moving from Wikia
Hello. Wikination's general community would probably use the monobook or vector skin, but Wikia forces Wikia/Oasis upon us. I have a great wikifarm we could move to. It's called Wikiunity, made by a former Wikia Helper. I am personally a helper there, so we have more freedoms. Oh, and if we move they can move everything for us. Any thoughts and opinions are appreciated. -- 02:52, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Go to Special:Preferences and fix the skin. We are not going to move. Things like this have been proposed a million times and all of them have failed. It's time waste. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 08:44, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not a big fan of this idea. Why? Because people know wikination, the name is familiar, the location too. When you write someone a message on his or her talk page, they immediately receive a yellow note on whatever wikia they're on at the moment. Even if they haven't visited wikination in months or even years. Because all wikia's are somehow linked to one another. When you move to another location, you lose this opportunity, and with it, you will lose visitors and (potential) new editors. You need those to keep the site alive. You can move, thinking people will look for you. But believe me: they won't. Wikination would die. I see no advantages and many disadvantages. The glorious First Consul of Rome 18:28, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * do you know that what once was the biggest wikia of the network has now left wikia? we should given it a try. @owtb according to the terms of service you only may use the the designer for that. You may add custom wikicode for templates but not change the default site lay out Pierlot McCrooke 18:54, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't see the problem here.. If you don't like the wikia skin (which seems logic), you just switch to monobook: problem solved. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 18:57, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * The problem is that the anonymous are still being served with this crappy skin. site admins have trouble with making their wikia pagges suitable for oasis Pierlot McCrooke 19:05, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * If the anonymous visitors like our site enough, they'll sign in, change their settings and be done with the ugly default layout wikia gives them. If not, then our site isn't inviting enough and we should work on making it better. How about a newer, fresher front page? It could be a lot better, I think. And the fact that the same page (The Lovely) has been our featured article for TWO DAMN YEARS (since 2010) isn't really helpful either. Doesn't leave the best impression, IMHO. The glorious First Consul of Rome 19:13, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

Maybe we could get a fresh start on "Wikiunity"? It looks really good to me. We could clean up some of the useless pages if we move. Daembrales 23:12, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
