Oh, I was thinking that if there was actual desire for a new Speaker, I wasn't going to override the rest of Agora on that. It wouldn't be very effective because I could still be ousted by proposal; there's not much point in scamming when obvious counterscams exist (and if I had a method of blocking arbitrary proposals, I'd save it for a time when I could get more out of it than just the Speakership). Additionally, political power in Agora atm is fairly useless because there isn't enough of an economy to interfere in. -- ais523

The intent has in fact timed out; having pointed out the Speaker-changing possibility I'll let others re-intend/fight it out if desired... Also: last few weeks unexpectedly busy, should catch up reports myself in next week, apologies. -G.

DIS: Re: BUS: All right, I'll try it later
Just to be clear, under R2124/18 (Agoran Satisfaction) the speaker can veto an announcement of intent by indefinitely objecting to it. They have to renew it every 48 hours, but that's a lot of power. -Aris On Thu, Oct 13, 2016 at 12:07 PM, Aris Merchant < thoughtsoflifeandligh...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm afraid I oppose.

I'm afraid I oppose. The office of speaker has veto power, and I'm not sure if I trust em that much after es (Is that the right pronoun?) last CFJ. -Aris On Thu, Oct 13, 2016 at 3:36 AM, Luis Ressel wrote: > On Thu, 22 Sep 2016 11:40:36 -0700 (PDT) > Kerim Aydin wrote: > > > Well if *speaker* rather than *champion is what you're after: > > > > I announce my intent to appoint Alexis to the office of Speaker, > > with Support.
