Okay guys, here's the idea.

The Battle of Hoover Dam just happened. And as a result the Mojave is now free. We're independent from the NCR. We're independent from Mr. House and the Legion.

That means we have to create our own laws to keep this fledgling nation in order.

In this game, every forum member who wants to play is a Mojave Senator. YOu have the power to propose a law. You also have the power to vote on the law that you propose and the law that other people propose.

Every law will pass 24 hours after it's proposed if the majority votes are "For" it. The law will not pass if he majority of Votes are "Against" it.

This could be a fun game that deals with real life hot button issues. Some laws are very controversial, like abortion. Other laws are pretty much agreed on, like outlawing murder and robbery.

To sway people over to your way of thinking, you could post a detailed argument for your law or against someone elses.

Be extreamley polite though. People have different beliefs, and the Mojave Wasteland should be a safe place.

I'll go first.

Proposition 1: This prop concerns the mojave tax rate. I propose we set that at 15 percent. That's a flat rate, mostly because I don't know how much different people make in the mojave ( I'm not the most educated senator, I won a raffle.) and since we're not a large population, we don't need a great deal of taxation.

The low tax rate migh encourage immigration from the NCR. ( We should vote on immigration some time.)

Proposiition 2: I'm calling this the "Do No Harm" act. It allows all violent acts against citizens of the Mojave. It outlaws robbery as well.

Proposiioin 3: The clean water act. It sets up a commitee and allocates funds to see what we can do about getting clean, unradiated drinking water into every town in the wasteland.

I vote FOR all these propositions. Voting will finish at 1:49 am eastern time.

I propose Keeping the Gun Runners Vendors open within the Mojave to manufacture weapons for us in exchange of caps from the Strip. Along with widening our view in farming locations, as the Mojave barely has crops to harvest, I say we take the Horowitz Farmstead and Brooks Tumbleweed Ranch to begin productivity. Who knows, perhaps we can construct our OWN Caravan trade routes to the NCR and Great Khans.

Oh yes, my other proposition is to open up a trade route to the Boomers, perhaps providing them with some Gun Runner supplies in exchange of their surplus in food, seeing as they're able to be Self Sufficient.
