My fellow Islanders, I’d firstly like to thank you for taking your time to read this campaign statement.
For those who do not know me I am Mark and I want to be your senator for New Republica South.
Since joining 10000 Islands in 2009 I have held a variety of government positions and these have been listed in my signature:
Markanite said:
56th TITO Knight, Account Confirmer, Former Registrar General x2, Former TIP Chairman, Former Minister of Education x3, Former Delegate x3, Former New Republica South Senator x3, Former Dean of the University, Former TIP Whip, Former Emissary to Nine regions, Heart of the Islands recipientApologies for the exhaustive list, in the nine years that I have been in the Islands I have enthusiastically gotten involved in as many areas as I could to ensure I could help enhance the Islands. We are lucky to have an amazing community here and I want to do my best to help make this forum and our region, the best it can be.
It is for this reason that I have decided to run for office, I have not held a council role in a few months but I am ready to get involved in our government again.
Now that that preamble is out of the way I can explain what I will do if I am elected:
New Republic South responsibilities:
Upon election as NRS Senator I intend to:
- Assess the current parties’ activities, membership lists and liaise with party leaders and members to seek out improvements to the current system.
- I will create a summit thread, where anyone can comment on the current system and together, we can start a conversation on how to enhance our political party system and boost activity
- I will hold ‘parties’ in the sub-forum, these seasonal parties will have games and activities to increase activities and participation with political parties
- I will also contact each new nation that arrives on the forum to encourage political party participation
The four points above may not seem like much, but in a four-month term I believe these will help get our political parties active and membership engaged to a greater degree than they are currently.
Areas of Enhancement:
As a Senator I believe I would have a duty to seek out areas of enhancement for our forum, with this in mind I will also:
- Work with the Council to assess each area of the forum for viability, the need for enhancement and if they are fit for purpose. By doing this we can enhance our forum and make it even better than it is currently. This would fall in line with our current modernisation theme.
- I believe the Council should turn its attention to nation retention and take a more active role in reaching out to nations personally in game so that we can direct more users here. This will tackle our current problem with recruitment
As Senator’s terms only last 4 months, I hope to be able to accomplish my above goals in this time frame and work towards enhancing our already amazing Islands. It would be a pleasure to work with the other council members and I hope my previous experience, good work ethic and adaptability would ensure I am an asset to the Council and the Islands as a whole.
I’d also like to take this time to wish my opponent Jabberwocky good luck in the campaign!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
