Calling a vote to open up the top rank to worthy Goddesses

Short version is, I want to vote to see if we can agree to open the top rank to nominated people who have been with us a long time and put in alot of love to our fleet ^^.

(6:57:08 PM) DoggyDude: want to table a motion.... I vote to enter *redacted on vote* into the top rank AND that we allow people to join the top rank (e.g. disband the idea of 'core' in the ranks)
(6:57:46 PM) DoggyDude: because 1) I never liked the seeming "priviledge" aspect (even if its not that), 2) we have amazing people who should not be restricted
(6:58:04 PM) pqtaggart13: doesn't 'table' mean you're stopping the motion?
(6:58:06 PM) DoggyDude: 3) I think it leads to people feeling we are a "Them and Us" fleet and thats bad.
(6:58:15 PM) DoggyDude: I mean table, as in put it to a vote.
(6:58:26 PM) pqtaggart13: 'table' means to save it for later :)
(6:58:33 PM) DoggyDude: meaning, unless we have a good reason against my suggestion we go
(6:58:44 PM) DoggyDude: oh, well in the UK, to table a motion is to enter it into play
(6:58:46 PM) kyrissis: yup- you FAIL on parlimentary procedure
(6:58:50 PM) pqtaggart13: OH MY GOD
(6:58:52 PM) DoggyDude: its like when you Table your hand in card
(6:59:02 PM) pqtaggart13: I just looked it up on Wikipedia and guess what I found
(6:59:13 PM) DoggyDude: you wouldn't table your cards unless you wanted them considered by everyone
(6:59:15 PM) pqtaggart13: the US is literally the ONLY English speaking country that does that
(6:59:26 PM) pqtaggart13: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_(parliamentary_procedure)
(6:59:29 PM) DoggyDude: lol
(6:59:33 PM) pqtaggart13: that is embarrassing
(6:59:50 PM) DoggyDude: LOL kinda
(7:00:06 PM) kyrissis: wow
(7:00:09 PM) DoggyDude: it doesn't make sense to me to table something your not going to use
(7:00:12 PM) pqtaggart13: it's like how we're the only country in the world where 'Republican' has a right-wing connotation
(7:00:16 PM) kyrissis: yup- USa is backawrds as always
(7:00:24 PM) DoggyDude: we say "we are going to park this issue" if we take it off the table
(7:00:42 PM) pqtaggart13: in fact the Republicans are actually members of the International Democrat Union (IDU), a worldwide organization of center-right political parties
(7:00:48 PM) kyrissis: nope- to us table means to \put it aside
(7:00:48 PM) DoggyDude: thanks T'Sar that must cause much confusion! :) good to understand
(7:01:45 PM) kyrissis: well its probably always best to just asusme the USa ia just wrong on most anything
(7:02:51 PM) DoggyDude: I better blog post so others can read / access ^^

*pause*

(7:03:18 PM) pqtaggart13: i think maybe you should do a fleet mail
(7:04:28 PM) pqtaggart13: but I do hereby second the nomination of Mel as newest council member :)
(7:05:34 PM) pqtaggart13: however i call a point of order
(7:05:43 PM) DoggyDude: hmm, I think first I should run it by Lir, Rho and Ang pretty certain Rho will be on board.
(7:05:44 PM) DoggyDude: Reason I am doing that is I don't want to stir up fleet discussion until the main people all at least know its going down :)
(7:06:00 PM) DoggyDude: oh, what is the point of order? :)
(7:06:37 PM) DoggyDude: (e.g. I learned from my last getting burned on delivering the news about the Amada Merge *yikes*)
(7:07:20 PM) DoggyDude: *listening for point of order, Mel = ++*
(7:07:21 PM) kyrissis: well i do feel the regular goddess players woh log in all the time and take the time to be ehre and help with fleet projects shoudl have some say in what is going on
(7:07:32 PM) pqtaggart13: chairwoman, without malice or intent for disorder i respectfully request that you recuse yourself from the nomination proceedings
(7:08:08 PM) DoggyDude: hmm, that's kinda true.
(7:08:08 PM) pqtaggart13: i have reason to believe that your nomination of the aforementioned 'T'Sar' is broadly defined as nepotism and thus grounds for a quash!
(7:08:37 PM) kyrissis: well by proposing those to be nominated you sorta are controling who gets promoted which defeats the purpose of all of this since you are the leader
(7:08:47 PM) pqtaggart13: seconded!
(7:09:01 PM) DoggyDude: I would say, favouritim might apply :P not sure I'm ready to see sexy T'Sar as family there xD even if she is off the male table tehee
(7:09:26 PM) kyrissis: how about we let all thosse other council people and long term meberrs VOTE instead
(7:09:26 PM) pqtaggart13: i hereby suggest that each member of the original council suggest names for potential promotion!
(7:09:34 PM) DoggyDude: okay so I should scratch the nominations from the record?
(7:10:01 PM) pqtaggart13: i so move to that effect yes ma'am
(7:10:09 PM) DoggyDude: right I shall let the record show the names will be striked
(7:10:14 PM) pqtaggart13: stricken
(7:10:30 PM) kyrissis: otherwise it looks like you are stacking the deck with your friends
(7:10:44 PM) pqtaggart13: it does kind of look that way yes
