I wasn't really frustrated. I saw the update and was surprised because it had been three months since the Commission was first convened. It seemed odd that there would be no results yet.

*puts on historian cap*

It's worth mentioning that no coup in our history has been about the enforcement of Assembly rules. Out of the six coups we have had, three were either shortly before or shortly after the establishment of the Coalition*, so the government was considerably unstable already. Out of the three coups since, one was due to Devonitians endotarting and two were due to the Delegate dissolving the government. They had nothing to do with Assembly rules, and would not have been prevented by their existence or modification.

I'm saying this only to set the record straight in terms of the relationship between coups and the Assembly, and because I really enjoy talking about regional history. I'm not out to fight anyone, nor to publicly take sides in this situation, so I won't get into the substance of your other arguments. I just hope the historical context was useful. :)

* 1.The New Ali Coup during the Killer Monkeys Delegacy, but arguably before the Coalition was fully established.
2. The XYZ Affair Coup in June 2003, which overthrew Goddessness.
3. The Fathoms Below Coup, that same month, which was allegedly The XYZ Affair hacking The Fathoms Below's account.
