Title: Taijitu University Lecture Hall
Post by: Funkadelia on March 02, 2015, 04:54:46 AM
Currently, our University's lecture hall is named the "Aniane Memorial Lecture Hall." I believe this is an inappropriate titling of the lecture hall. Aniane, while an interesting figure in the recent historiography and archeology of Taijitu, is ultimately someone who the region does not know well, and we do not even have record of them posting on our forum. They also seem to have disappeared years ago.

I believe we should rename the memorial hall after someone more fitting. I propose we rename the lecture hall to the "Limitless Events Lecture Hall." Limi did a lot for this region in many ways, including serving for many years as a forum administrator and as a host for the regional minecraft server. Thus, I propose the following resolution (because I don't think it needs to be recorded permanently in the law books).

Quote
1. The "Aniane Memorial Lecture Hall" is hereby renamed to the "Limitless Events Lecture Hall."

Are you aware that Myroria is Aniane?

Boo! Against this affront to our regional affection for the Aniane mystery! Burn the traitor! Give em to the guillotine!

Guillotine to the traitor baby.

No thanks Funkadelia, I'll be forever opposed to that, it has nothing to do with Aniane.

I'm willing to support the name change, in part because we have uncovered evidence that Aniane existed, and Aniane's legacy has turned out to be underwhelming. That and Limitless Events should probably be remembered somewhere on the forum.

I support this measure. However, I believe the name "Aniane Memorial Lecture Hall" is actually specified in the University Act, so it would require amending that law directly. It would still, though, be a one line change.

This is correct. Any change to the name will have to be done by amending clause 2e of the University of the Revolution Act. How about:

Quote from: Amendment to the University of the Revolution Act
Clause 2e of the University of the Revolution Act will be amended as follows:

Quote from: Current Text
2e. The Aniane Lecture Hall shall be dedicated to lecture and question-and-answer sessions, and shall be dedicated to the memory of Aniane, a short-lived but much-beloved Taijituan.

Quote from: Proposed Amendment
2e. The Limitless Events Lecture Hall shall be dedicated to lecture and question-and-answer sessions, and shall be dedicated to the memory of Limitless Events, a much-beloved Taijituan.

Thank you for bringing that up. I should have actually cruised the law forum first. >_>

I move that proposed text to a vote.

what a terrible idea. I'd much rather a Solnath, a Bara, a Xyrael, an Allama Lecture Hall.

Why wasn't this brought up when we first voted on it?  Sup with all these traitor babies?

Bara University might be a bit of an Oxymoron :keke:

I'll go to the extreme extent I'd rather a Sovereign Dixie Lecture Hall.

While I would never downplay the great effect Limitless Events has had on this region, part of the motivation for choosing Aniane was that he was more legendary than real. Even with these new archaeological discoveries shedding some light on Aniane's NationStates life, I'm afraid I cannot, in good revolutionary spirit, support a measure to name the Lecture Hall after such a prominent figure. It strikes me as un-egalitarian.

I dunno, Bara (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bara_%28genre%29) University sounds like a good idea to me.
