Sephlock, Arcilte, Monkson, Kriptick, Popester, OronHaus, Esranth, The Tauren 13, ferrolad, and farstryder are the members eligeble for the senate. I am extending the dates by two days from the stated dates since the forum has been inactive.

Well since ALL of you citizens have failed to run for senate save, I have nominated the only runner by default. Monkson's swearing in on the senate shall be held tomorrow.

(que Patriotic Senate music)

Welcome fellow citizens of the Republic!
We gather here today to welcome Monkson into the senate of our great Republic.
[pause for applause]

Monkson, do you solemly swear to uphold the law of the Republic

To be a loyal and fair leader

To make the Republic a better nation in anyway possible

And to uphold the sovereignty of the Republic and the Jedi Council?

Thank you for all your votes, even if it was just one. I just noticed you changed your name; should we all adopt Star Wars jedi names now? Maybe that could be a requirement and a recruiting incentive...

Now just a minute. Weren't you aware that Maximus Decimus Meridius has taken this election result to the Supreme Court? Indeed, my understanding is that the Supreme Court today heard oral arguments from both sides. Although, I grant you, President Clinton spoke out about it, and he said an oral argument isn't really an argument. Nonetheless, it may be wise to let the Supreme Court elect the senator in the fullness of time. I'll get back to you on this issue.

But what was the other party? As I am aware, MDM as I will refer to him as was not a citizen of the Republic at the time of his running. Thereby disqualifing him imediatly.

We seem to have 2 very inactive members of the Senate. They seem to be more interested in visiting the various party palaces here on Corsicant than the senate chamber. Perhaps we should retain them as citizens, and replace them with more active members?

Master Yoda:

I just happened to be honing my lightsaber skills on a remote over here when I saw your post. Took a look at the Jedi Republic page to get the names of a few comrades, and I see that I've apparently been promoted. Without even running for office.

While I appreciate the compliment, and would be happy to accept, I respectfully submit that both Arcilite and Sephlock are senior to me both in overall ranking and in length of service to the Jedi Republic. If two new Senators are needed, I would be pleased to serve if either of them is more interested in continuing their individual battles against the Dark Side than in a Senator's administrative duties.

Of course, you ARE the Master, and your wisdom is known to all. I will gladly accept any decision that you make in this matter.

Tal-Der forget you do, the senior member I am. Promote at will can I and you have I chosen. Suggestions accepted and others taken in. Completed the council is.

Thank you for the honor, Master Yoda. I shall do my best to combine my regular activities as a Jedi Knight with those of a Senator.

(frantically whipping through pages of the Jedi Code of Conduct Manual, non-abridged version)

There's no, ummm, extra paperwork associated with this, is there? And I can pick a lightsaber color that isn't blue or green, right?
