OK guys, there has been a lot going on in the past couple hours with questions regarding bills and whatnot. I've been talking with CR and this is what he has come up with as a solution:

"“I have received some PMs about frustration over the bills and their role in the game going forward, and I have decided it might be best to make a change—if you’re all up for it.

I was hoping to encourage out of the box thinking, but I understand the frustration. I said from the beginning that the public would not like an idle Congress and also suggested that there would be limits to how much power was allowed before the public and Supreme Court got a little wary.

The inference should have been that taking too much power at the start might result in exactly this situation. You guys went to town, passing plum roles with extra features, and maximizing your power from the start. Ideally, you should have worked on smaller roles with less power, or concentrate on rules changes before you were up against it with respect to power. Perhaps I should have made that more clear, because it seems obvious now no one carped to it. If so, I apologize for not being clearer.

Here is my solution, and it’s a one time offer: the public in the end only really cares about catching wolves. Many of the bills have had their impact, but it’s the wolf vote that really runs the election results. The bills add creativity, but I can see it has passed its fun stage and gone to pointless tedium (sadly). So I will do away with them if Congress (majority) agrees to this: the roles currently in place remain as is, and the wolves get one more rider (which maxes their power, and puts everyone on more or less even footing).

This then moves toward a two faction wolf game with roles in place and some wolf riders. You still have to worry about elections, but that’s it. Well, and catching wolves."

The bill will be called "The Bills Be Gone Bill"

[Passacaglia]

The Repblican propose:

CEO Automatic Repeal Protector

Sponsor: Passacaglia, RendeR

The Congressional Executive Oversight Act shall be repealed.

[Passacaglia]

VOTE YES CARP

[oliegirl]

PLEASE NOTE THAT APPROVING THE BILLS BE GONE BILL WILL INVALIDATE THE SARPS BILL...

IF YOU DO NOT APPROVE THE BILLS BE GONE BILL, IT IS NOT A PROMISE/GUARANTEE THAT SARPS WILL BE APPROVED BY THE SUPREME COURT.

[Passacaglia]

Idea with this is that the CEO Act is nothing more then a brutal wolf clause. We can't repeal part of a law, which makes getting rid of the cunning wolf difficult, but the CEO Act is nothing but a brutal wolf clause, and should be repealed.

[PurdueBrad]

I'm out until after deadline for softball and union meeting.

PackerFanatic strikes me as much more wolfish, as he started the votes on me and has been a power whore, whereas mccollins could have legitimately gotten stuck in the wrong place at the wrong time -- not that I trust him.

VOTE YES CARP
VOTE YES BILLS BE GONE

VOTE LYNCH PACKERFANATIC

[Passacaglia]

VOTE NO TO BILL BE GONE

I think we can still do damage here. We can get rid of the brutal wolf with the CARP, and chesapeake and I have been talking about ways to get rid of the cunning wolf.

[Tyrith]

And, btw, to the moderator, I think a village trying to put in a BG, seer, and a spy in a big game is, well, exactly what you should suspect, because these are roles along the lines that we see in the small games. To expect us to spend our time messing around with podunk stuff to match expectations we had no clue about is unfair to us, I believe.

[Tyrith]

IIRAC didn't we mostly nerf the cunning rider out of relevance a couple of days ago?

Yeah, that's why I was the one apologizing. I don't believe I spelled it out well enough, and I may have had unrealistic expectations.

Come on, people. We can take away a brutal wolf rider now, or we can GIVE them a rider? Why are we voting yes on this?

[Passacaglia]

Anyway, I hope you guys are putting KWhit up for President.

[KWhit]

No, actually we're not, assuming I'm not electable (too liberal)

[Passacaglia]

F that. You're the only villager totally cleared, and the President can't be night-killed.

[Passacaglia]

I'm thinking that if KWhit runs against me, he'll likely win -- I'm one of the least popular guys in Washington, and almost as extreme as him. If you want, you can slurry me some, too.

[Passacaglia]

Not to say that the Republicans have chosen me as the candidate. We haven't discussed it at all.

[Lathum]

well its official, I have no idea what is going on anymore.
