Welcome to the SWC Galactic Senate Game. Post two will contain the Constitution of the Senate. If you have questions about the game, please read through the constitution, or contact the forum moderators: DarthIntegral and Strilo.

So let's get to playing and have some fun! Take advantage of the first 10 days of the thread to make your political positions know and do some in-game (and within the rules) socializing so we can have a better idea of who to elect and how the game will unfold.

Constitution of the SWC Galactic Senate Game
Rule 1: Eligibility to participate.
This game is open to all members of the Jedi Council Forums. Players may join and leave at any time. To join the game, a player needs only add themselves to the official game roster, and indicate on that roster which planet they wish to represent. A player may leave the game by removing themselves from the roster. A player may be removed from the game for violating the ToS or the forum rules at the discretion of the forum moderators, Strilo and DarthIntegral. A player may also be removed from the game by the Vice Chancellor (see rule 2, Officers below) after the player has been inactive for a period of 14 consecutive days without giving prior notice of an absence.
Rule 2: Officers
There shall be three official officers of this game. The Supreme Chancellor, the Vice Chancellor, and the Speaker of the House.
The job of the Supreme Chancellor is to manage the game. The SC will introduce scenarios that fit into the timeline, report how bills that passed/failed/were deliberated/etc affect the galaxy as a whole, recognize or deny motions, and attempt to keep the game fun for all members. The Supreme Chancellor will receive red-only VIPship and title for the month(s) they are elected.
The job of the Vice Chancellor is to care for the records of the game. The VC will be the official record keeper of the Roster, and should post it in thread at least once every three days. The VC will also be charged with recording the results of all motions and votes in the game. The VC is also charged with running the election of Supreme Chancellor in the following month, unless a conflict of interest is present (see Rule 3: Elections, below) In the event of an absence of the Supreme Chancellor, the VC will act as Supreme Chancellor. This will occur if the Supreme Chancellor announces he will be away for a set period of time, or if the Supreme Chancellor is inactive for a period of at least five days without notice. In the latter case, the VC is also obligated to PM the forum mods and notify them of the absence of the Supreme Chancellor.
The job of the Speaker of the House is to facilitate communication. The SoH will be responsible for PMing all senators one week, and two days prior to the election of a new Supreme Chancellor, as well as PMing all senators for topics of great interest, as requested and designated by the Supreme Chancellor.
No member may hold any single office for more than two consecutive months, and may not hold any office for more than three consecutive months.
No other official offices exist in this game, although the Supreme Chancellor may create unofficial offices (head of xyz committee, head of xyz political party, etc) to facilitate the scenarios being discussed.
Rule 3: Elections
Elections of the offices of this game shall be done during a four-day process, beginning on the first of each month.
The first day of elections is “nomination day”, and will occur on the first of the month starting at 12:01 a.m. board time. On this day, any member of the game may nominate any other member of the game for the office of Supreme Chancellor. Each member of the game may only nominate one other person.
The second day of elections is “acceptance, platform, and questions day”, and will occur on the second day of the month starting at 12:01 a.m. board time. On this day, any member who received at least two nominations for the office of Supreme Chancellor shall do one of two things: post their declination of nomination, or post their acceptance of nomination (thus becoming a candidate) and a platform of what to expect from them if elected Supreme Chancellor. Also on this day, all members of the thread may post up to three questions for the candidates (questions may be specific to a candidate or generic to all candidates). Candidates should refrain from answering questions this day. During the day, the Vice Chancellor should post the candidates who have accepted, declined, and are pending to better keep the game members informed.
The third day of elections is “answers day”, and will occur on the third day of the month starting at 12:01 a.m. board time. On this day, all questions that were asked the previous day will be answered by candidates. No other official business will take place this day.
The fourth day of elections is “voting day”, and will occur on the fourth day of the month starting at 12:01 a.m. board time. On this day, all members should send a PM to the Vice Chancellor indicating their vote for Supreme Chancellor. Members are allowed to vote for themselves, and all members get a vote. If the Vice Chancellor is a candidate for Supreme Chancellor, the Speaker of the House will handle this duty. If both are candidates, the members shall accept a volunteer from the other members to take on this duty
The following day, the Vice Chancellor will announce the winner of the election. This will be done both in an in-thread post and via PM to the forum moderators. In the case of a tie, the forum moderators will break the tie. Once the result has been posted, the new Supreme Chancellor will appoint his Vice Chancellor and Speaker of the House and will begin with the scenarios for the month, including a “State of the Republic” address.
Rule 4: Timeline and Canon Debates in this game
The timeline for this game (i.e. which era it takes place in) will be decided by the first elected Supreme Chancellor. All other Supreme Chancellors will live in that timeline and will have to live in a Republic that was impacted by the previous Supreme Chancellors, Senate Votes, and repercussions that were made in-game.
The only materials considered 100% canon for this game are the six films. All EU, novelizations, etc are not considered canon, but neither are they considered non-canon. Something is not true simply because the EU said, but some things may still be true, depending on how the members of the game wish to use it.
Rule 5: Playing the Game
All members of this game must represent a planet. Each planet may be represented by only one player. Planets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. You may use any planet from the Star Wars universe, or you may make up your own planet. This gives the game an unlimited number of planets to use.
The basis of the game is what happens on the Senate Floor. Thus, the game revolves around debating ideas, voting on bills, and finding solutions. The heart of the game is in voting.
To introduce a bill to be voted upon, a member should formally announce “I move that we adopt” … and then follow that with the bill, movement, action, etc to be taken. If another member of the game feels that this deserves to be voted upon, that member should second the bill. Once a bill has been seconded, it must be recognized by the Supreme Chancellor before voting on it can begin. Any member can make a motion or second a motion, with the exception of the Supreme Chancellor.
Once a vote has been recognized, it shall be voted on for a period of 24 hours. The bill will pass if a simply majority of those voting yes or no (or yay or nay or whatever variation is used) vote “yes”. The bill will fail if the majority is not reached. The Supreme Chancellor may veto any passed bill that is passed by less than a 2/3rds majority, but the Senate may overrule that veto with a 2/3rds majority vote.
All introduced bills should be in response to the actions, inactions, situations, etc as presented by the Supreme Chancellor for consideration by the Senate. It is recommended that Senators talk with other Senators to find consensus before advancing with a bill, but it is not required.
The passage (or non-passage) or bills, motions, etc will impact the game. The Supreme Chancellor will update you on the progress and events in the Republic as a response to the actions of the Senate. So, the way you vote on items will impact the game, so keep that in mind.
Rule 6: Meta-Motions
Meta-Motions are those motions which deal with the running of the game. These would include constitutional changes, removal of officers, and other such cases. These are strictly forbidden to be done without the permission of the forum moderators.
Rule 7: Socializing
Chatter and socializing in-thread is allowed, provided it is on-topic, “in-character”, and at least somewhat game related. Hi/bye and socializing posts that do not deal with the game in any way are considered spamming and off-topic, and will be dealt with accordingly.
Rule 8: Socks
The use of socks (alternative accounts) to play this game to allow yourself multiple entries in the game is prohibited. Anyone caught doing so may be barred from the game completely and/or banned.
Rule 9: Carryover of this game into other SWC threads
Events, titles, political parties, etc. are confined to this game only. Playing this game in any other thread (including, but not limited to, the Cloud City Cantina and the Jedi Trials) is forbidden, and will be considered off-topic and spam. Likewise, carrying over ranks and conversations from other threads (including the Jedi Trials) is forbidden, and will be considered off-topic and spam.
Rule 10: In-Thread Problems
Any problems that arise in-thread (including members creating problems by proposing bills that have nothing to do with the scenario or otherwise detracting from the scenario put forth by the Supreme Chancellor) should be reported to the forum moderators.
If there is a serious problem (flaming, profanity, etc), please contact any moderator online to help with the problem.
Rule 11: Duration
This game will last for a minimum of four months. At the end of four months, the forum moderators reserve the right to lock the thread and put the game on hiatus for a minimum of one month. However, if the game is successful, lacking of problems, and adding to the community, the forum moderators reserve the right to extend the length of the game by two months, and may choose to extend or end the game each two months thereafter.
Rule 12: Amendments
Amendments to this constitution shall be done only under supervision and permission of the forum moderators. Suggested amendments will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and a system to implement them will be decided on by the forum moderators.
