Master List of Laws  
When we moved I decided to make the King's Office a part of the regular community (as opposed to having its own), however that wasn't particularly addressed at the time because we had no laws on the table. From this point forward laws will be proposed in the main community, voted on, and passed or failed after one week. They'll be labeled with the tag !laws. All laws that have been proposed (regardless of passage or failure) will be added to this master list.

As a refresher: the mechanics of proposing laws, including format and method.

Lycan Law*: Proposed by Mary Anne Browning - Passed Revised, see below
Shifter Law*: Proposed by Ariman Shulz - Passed
Drunken Revelry Prohibition*: Proposed by Gideon Morrow - Denied
Public School Law*: Proposed by Thongchai Saenamuang - Passed into law with some provisions
Alteration of Lycan Law: Proposed by Thongchai Saenamuang - Passed

King's Office  
So here's the deal with The King's Office:

Anyone may post a suggestion for a new law, whether it be old or new. Some will be previously established at the mod's discretion, but your opinions are highly valued in regard to these.

Some laws may be repealed upon a majority vote of Parliament and approval of the King. The same goes for approving a law.

Once a law has been suggested (and only one law per post please) it will be open to discussion for one week. Once the week is up the opinions will be weighed and the dice will be cast. A master list of laws will be kept, whether they be approved, discarded, or later repealed.

A repeal can be called for at any time in a new post (such as Request to Repeal Law #48, and then stating the reasons for the request). The repel will be voted on just like a regular law with a one week grace period.

If this system doesn't work we will tweak it until it does.

The laws can be anything from the heavily serious (restricting movement of dangerous creatures), to the completely ridiculous (the call to have all children be silent all day on Tuesday). This part of the game is something of a fun experiment.

How it Works )
