I vote for Graces, Fates or Furies since if we go for that Triple Moddess thing I will end up being the Crone. I'm in my prime I tell you....

I thought it would be more thematically appropriate to go with executive, judicial, and legislative. Checks and balances, and all that... Of course with my sham government firmly in place, the system won't actually be balanced... We may need to work on that...

Ooh, that would give me the chance to emulate Eisenhower's biggest regret, Judge Warren.

Ooh I am going to have to mug up my US constitution aren't I? I took a class on that way back when I studied in France but otherwise my tutors are Messrs Jon Stewart and PJ O'Rourke - interesting combo that....

Jon Stewart's tutorials on life should suit you just fine. Besides- if I was really emulating the system, we'd have an electoral college to deal with.

His book America is hilarious, but has some little truths. I really like the, "Ages of Democracy: A Guide".

Ah filibuster, horrifically adament while at the same time surprisingly too polite to just say 'no'. In the end it'll just end up with a contest between who can stay awake the longest, sounds fun.

Indeed, this whole experiment sounds delightfully Robespierre. I wonder who will be our David?

Perhaps I missed this while reading the rules, but how many representatives are elected each Day?

Oh, and:

I think anyone who receives two or more votes becomes a rep.

Do we get something like the full & updated rules in somewhere at sometime or do we have to assume that the ones in the begining of this thread are the final word on all matters?

And what is the last word on the filibusters etc.?
