New site, new Speaker! As we all settle back in, we can watch arch-conservative Kanee Cocinov wrest the speakership from MISER’s golden boy as a concession to radical autonomists in the name of “bipartisanship”.

Think of this as an official unofficial open thread. Get your predictions in fast before Maligno returns from Elba with the support of the people to take his rightful position back by force!

Kanee isn't that bad (none / 0)

When he's not being stupid of course! I don't think that this going to be any worse than the 2250 Elysian Quisling Regime, but Kanee is way too willng to work with people like SIGMA and the Dems to be trusted as (unfortunately) the most powerful person in the Transitional Authority. Maligno was a MAFOite nutjob but he took a strong stance against separatism. I can't see Kanee doing the same.

ALSO:
What caused the big legal issues here? I wasn't keeping up much here during the election...




Maligno was a failed speaker, like many before him (none / 0)

The Martian Union Party flailed its way into government by doing slightly better than the religious nuts in the JSPP did. The best thing that this government did was to spread out governance to four speakers instead of one. Strong personalist leadership is exactly what bloody separatist revolts are built off of, which is why I'm tenatively happy that the government is moving past that (when they aren't trying to do the same with the Majority Leader)
I wasn't keeping up much here during the election...

Good choice :P I'm glad all of that is lost to time


more of the same from last government (none / 0)

This is just the latest face of paleoliberal autonomism that we've seen
I watch every single daily address religiously and have to see the gov talk about how they stand in the tradition of Zhang-Bryn and Butcher

Why the portraits of Zhang-Bryn and Butcher? The media would tell you these people are total opposites. Well, I hope you read the book I told you all about, because there are a lot of surprising similarities between them

Good that they're being honest about it at least!

Usage Veren's Strongest Soldier | Proud Participant in "Get A Bag Thursday"!

Butcher (none / 0)

I voted for him in 2248 and I'm starting to miss him...
He would have taken a stronger stance against the reactionary socialists calling the government crypto-sectoralists for... being conservative. Obviously they are> crypto-sectoralists but this is a pot/kettle situation. The D-UCPM should have been banned months ago, but Veren is such a flaccid waste of space that we'll never see any real progress on that front. What a fucking joke.

Autonomists are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are autonomists. -anonymous

Veren is trying his best (none / 0)

After doing a single executive order trying to fix our busted school system, the entire political sphere jumped on him. Even the government was fucking him over LOL. This is a wider issue with how most parties on Mars are completely infiltrated and captured by Parent's Rights organizations. It's been going on since MAFO, because of your beloved Butcher mainly. Why do you think the government introduced PGA?

Build the Sphere already!

PGA (none / 0)

The PGA failed because of the government you fucking dumbass. Holy shit, I don't understand how y'all can get the most surface level understanding from the news. LOL.

Martians cannot govern. - Justice Glorbina von Chudfeld.

legal issues (none / 0)

bad
Was dealing w/ a massive server influx during the elections and trying to keep things behind the scenes behind the scene until i got a call from a friend about this place being on local news...

Word of advice to all users: Do not mention this forum directly outside of a polling place, do not wave a poster featuring an edited photograph of a certain Executorial candidate and public figure, and most definitely do not defend yourself by saying that this is a separate fictional character named "Joker Sas", making you not legally liable.

There was lots of other boring stuff that I don't feel like going into.


Happy to check this out!

I heard a bunch about this place from my Young Technocrats troop, and I'm super excited to actually see it open :D
Have y'all been following the Titan project?

Intern and volunteer. Check out my website!!

Forum has fallen day one (none / 0)

Its tragic to see us already get invaded by an influx of YTInfants who uncritically support the MAFO (Left Faction)'s party line. William Strickland has fucking blood on his hands and literally sponsored the "create a separatist army and shoot people in the streets for fun" bill.
In two weeks you won't be able to criticize the government anymore on here without a gaggle of undergrads high off of the fumes from their engineering job.

Where we're going, we won't need grainslop...

Titan (none / 0)

Titan is good because the UN can use it as a staging point to finally win the pacification mission
I don't care about all the science shit, I just want to see the UNS Brody Foxx outflank the RSA and blow them up XD



LOL (none / 0)

Someday all the Titan colonists are gonna take a wrong turn to Neptune and get torn apart by Veren's "Mysterious Forces"
Best science experiment they've ever done?
I think so...


Kanee Cocinov? (none / 0)

Out of all government members I would have never expected him...

Can't see him dealing with deranged revisionist oppositionists like Lee and Burke well. Should have put a fighter like Krupuk in WTF

REST IN PEACE DOCTOR LENT... BRING BACK THE PYRAMIDS


hahahaha wayan (none / 0)

Krupuk already has enough jobs, there's a reason why he resigned as Speaker for malickno :p

Might have been one of the most powerful people on the planet during that time

Surprised he didn't get used to that power!


They should have appointed Wayan... (none / 0)

And then shot Veren. You kept Abe in government for no reason, might as well use him for what he's good at!

Extra bonus here is that you get a UN crackdown on the gov for executing the executor so we can finally admit that UNTAM was a failure.


What does Krupuk do as JE? (none / 0)

I've always wondered...
Obviously the Junior Executor doesn't have much responsibility (remember the zars analysis thread of what Sas did all day lmao), and we know what he does in mindev...
But I think all he does is sit around and wait for Chen to come back from exile to finish the job


phobian cash (none / 0)

there's rumors about this and i believe them
money on my motherfuckin mind

proudly spoiled my ballot to vote Mahershalah in every possible slot

Speaker Wayan gets CVNT on the docket yesterday (none / 0)

Cocinov might be a spineless conservative hack who wants to deport your computer but at least he won't send me to die on 2 Pallas

Plus, at least he looks normal in comparison to the hacks screeching at him about how he's starting a class war


Veren needs to start killing people (none / 0)

I'm not even kidding! Make him speaker or something, I don't care.

The government needs to be actually centralized for once, we don't need the speaker and the executor to be two different people.



Lyn Marcus Unionist... is this anything?

lol that's cute (none / 0)

you really think that veren would do any crackdowns with any more power?

he chose to negotiate with deranged economic nationalists occupying Sol-1

At least he appointed yilmaz...


Ugh Yilmaz (none / 0)

I'm starting to get tired of hearing about how cool he is from leftyoon places online.
Someone makes a point about one of this government's many failures and you get the "SO WHAT! It's not the center of the universe like Yilmaz is"



yilmaz is awesome (none / 0)

whether the UN recognizes him we all know that he is the 8th wonder of the world

don't care still voting FDE

Did you guys know that Cocinov is the first speaker to be an amppa veteran (none / 0)

Idk I just thought that was interesting.


can someone give me a quick rundown on Bahool? (none / 0)

I think the joke/theory started here a year ago and it's just kept expanding
Wanted to hear it from the source

Ennion-Janssen Death Count

BAHOOL (none / 0)

Exposes that Veren is controlled by mysterious forces
Truthtellers at the head of DailyZars endorse him shortly after
Veren wins Seghedana Jedad
Veren forms a government with SIGMA in interior
Bahool has been warning us through coded messages about the "Renis"
Instead of the "Ran" in Rani you have the "Ren" from Veren
Supreme Leader Salma Rani is still alive and controlling the coalition
Bahool '54


Why is Dharma throwing? (4.00 / 2)

Not only do they form a government with SIGMA but they let the MDA stay around?
Forming ICBM with JSPP is just an insult at that point, all of us came together because of another JSPP causing the cordongate
This is why I'm voting Foldwater


They're trapped (none / 0)

If they don't let the MDA stay around then Cesar's gonna stab them

I WANT MY WAR


I know a dude who joined the MDA because of Cesar (none / 0)

Dude is convinced that he's going to die a beautiful death in the Belt and make his planet proud through his sacrifice against sectoralism
Honestly I hope he does


hey they did the CAGE stunt (none / 0)

would like to see MUCH MUCH more, but that at least reminded me of when Dharma was built around stuff like that. The look on the Assembly's face when she put every single party on the bill was priceless xd
Bring Rory back!


it's all Adam Hsu's fault (none / 0)

If he never had that scandal then Rory wouldn't have quit the race and probably would have made it into the second round. I still voted for him even when he dropped out, maybe someone can convince him to run again this year. Not voting for the kid though don't even think about bringing him up


Hey, so (none / 0)

I might not be as integrated into the forum "culture", but...
Can we like, not celebrate a deadbeat dad who SOLD HIS SON to a crazy Phobian???


LOL (none / 1)

Clearly wasn't here for our election coverage, we all wanted him to sell that kid even before he went bankrupt
