Finswedeway for LE!

[Finswedeway]

Hey my doods, it's me again, here to tell you why you need to vote for me for Lyonesse East. First, good luck to Flemingisa and a big thank-you to TIP for being the best party ever.

I have been with XKI for a little under a year now and have been very active within that time. Something I have noticed is that the RMB is hardly ever considered an integral part of the region. I would like for this to change, as the RMB is one of the first things new recruits see, and thus is a representative to new Islanders what our region is like. A big problem, I believe, is that not many members of the XKI government are very visible to the RMB and NS in general.

If elected, I will be collaborating with as many other senators as possible to bring the duties and activities of the forums to the front page of the region, and will also work to ensure all are informed about the many things you can do in XKI.

I believe this is one of the greatest communities on the internet, and letting it go unnoticed by NS is a travesty. I am open to all questions and I wish to reach out to as many people as possible to get their voice heard.

As always, good day and long live XKI!

Do you have any plans for the house cup?

[Finswedeway]

I am going to make certain that the cup is more publicised. If you asked on the RMB, "what are the XKI House Cup and Shield Competitions?" You probably wouldn't get too many people who know what that is.

As for the cup itself, I believe the games are fine and are not in urgent need of revisions, but I would certainly listen if people had complaints. I know I haven't been too active on the forums, but having a duty to fulfill will certainly push me to participate more here.

All the best Finswedeway!

One Question: What is your stance on the rather large number and sometimes visible inactivity of houses?

[Alkasia]

Good luck Fin!

I believe that problem can be solved with awareness campaigns about this aspect of the Islands. Region wide TGs maybe, weekly reminders on the RMB, other things of that nature. We can also have a revival of dead houses by a) placing new members into said houses or b) establishing new houses to choose from

Just an idea, really. I think the former is a bit extreme, but it may work as long as the founder of the house is active

most certainly. Legislative transparency is extremely important and can strengthen the trust and bond between the administration and everyone else. Honestly, it's ridiculous we don't have it in the first place.

Good luck Finswedeway!

Finswedeway has my full support!

[Hakketomat]

Going off of that question what has your experience been with the house cup? Did you participate in it before? Have you participated in similar actives like recruiting? Have you organized any tournaments or competitions before?

No I have not, actually. I have recruited several times before, and I found it somewhat enjoyable if a bit monotonous, but it comes back around to the publicity issue. The House activities are so rarely talked about, so I had never really heard about the cup until I first started running. I understand awareness is raised within the houses, but not anywhere else, which I believe should change. If not region-wide, at least among recruiters, as I was recruiting for a while and had never even heard of the cup.

Do you feel fully confident that you can host and advertise a competition you have never taken part in and only heard about after you started running?

Yeas, because a) this is my second time running for this position and I am now very familiar with the Cup, having observed the latest one happen (just not taking part), b) I have studied in as much depth as possible what is required of me as senator for LE and c) I'm nothing if not confident.

[Paffnia]

Commiserations, Finswedeway.

[Finswedeway]

Not too worked about it. I'll just run again next time!

[Alkasia]

Commiserations, Finswedeway. TIP is lucky to have you and I can't wait for your next run!

[Siuts]

Bad luck Finswedeway

However, given your tender age, you have all the time in the world to run for office again. I am confident you will rest your behind on a Senatorial seat in the future TIP will just have to throw more money work harder at your next campaign!

[Louisistan]

Thank you for running, Finswedeway. You keep democracy alive.

Is this an appropriate time for some murica?
