Revolutionary Calendar

[Myroria]

Just because Taijitu is democratically deciding to move in a direction different from what you want does not mean that "The Revolution has been hijacked". The Ecclesia votes how the Ecclesia votes. If that's different from your view, that's a pity, but its also how democracy works.

It's a pity so many decisions were made outside of Ecclesia then, what a good example you are.

Please give me an example of this besides the World Fair fiasco a month ago.

Again, I invite you to put the reforms you surely have in mind before the Ecclesia for open debate and discussion. There the democratic process can determine their merit.

I also fail to see the point of the Revolutionary calendar. To be honest, I think it may be carrying the theme a little too far. However, I also don't see much harm in it, so I will abstain.

We in Lindisfarne blive that a new calender is a costly and unnessecary propaganda ploy. A calender is a practical tool for people to use when they organise their life. It is pointless to complicate peoples life with a new calendar. To introduce a new calendar will also isolate Taijitu from the rest of the world, and Lindisfarne belives that we should brake down barriers between regions and nations rather than erecting new ones. Thus Lindisfarne is going to vote NO.

It doesn't cost anything. This will have no impact on our regional economy, and it has little effect on the outside world or our interactions with it. Don't be so ridiculous.

[Delfos]

what a vain comment. If it doesn't cost or impacts anything than it's pretty useless and the opposite of pertinent? Good job campaigning for a no

You're one of those people who thinks fun doesn't have a point, aren't you? 

[Myroria]

I had fun once. It was awful.

[Gulliver]

I think Eluvatar may have banned fun already.

Wow!    I miss the days when Delfos was our Delegate. We had really enlightened leadership and lots of comments like the above back then 

I do not see what point she was trying to make. This Calendar has no "cost" whatsoever and it will not effect our relations on the world stage.

I could be wrong but this could be a part of her RP character?  In real life, this change would cost money as the old calendars would have to be thrown out, new ones made, hello 1984, revisions to many texts to accommodate the new calendar system, revision of the education system, etc etc etc.  That's money to be spent.    Not including time and effort involved.

So her argument isn't so ridiculous.

Otherwise, yes, this is going to cost most of us nothing, in monetary sense.  Some of us will spend time and effort (these are costs) and adopt this new calendar and try to apply it.  Otherwise this is all just a bit of harmless fun.

I will be passively resisting as I am not willing to SPEND time to relearn a new calendar.   

[Khem]

I do believe you are right about it being an in-character response.

[Allama]

Ahh, if the response was in character than we may not even disagree: she may simply be unaware that our regional government isn't related to RP.

What do you think of this proposal out of character, Lindisfarne?

[Myroria]

This vote has ended. The Revolutionary Calendar shall be adopted as Taijitu's official calendar.

I would like to point out to the citizen-legislators of the Ecclesia that this does not mean official dating on the forums will be done in the new calendar. We will continue to use the pre-revolutionary calendar for dating of posts, PMs, etc.
