Triora for Lyonnesse East - A Bright Future Ahead

[Triora]

Hello, 10000 Islands!



If you don't know me already, my name is Triora. Elections for several positions are coming up, including Lyonnesse East. This month, I would like to declare that I will be running for this position.

{Backstory + Positions Held}
I joined this region as a new NationStates player in October 2018. I know I haven't been here long; however, as some of you might know, I am very dedicated to this region and its people. I am quite active on NationStates itself, the forums (obviously) and Discord. You might see my name pop up quite frequently in the spam section because I love to chat with the people of XKI. One of the first things I noticed when I joined was how friendly and welcoming everyone is.

Just under two months after joining the region, I became a member of TITO. It has become such an important part of my time here to protect those who may not be able to protect themselves. I also currently hold two positions as emissaries: The Union of Democratic States and Philosophy 115. I'd say I'm very dedicated to the well-being of this region and the people in it.

{Duties + Ideas}
As the Senator of Lyonnesse East, I would be in charge of the upkeep of XKI Houses. This entails running the House and Shield Competitions, overseeing the House Achievement Plan, and choosing new House Stewards. These responsibilities sound quite exciting to me. I've always been interested in coming up with creative ideas and names. Perhaps I could find some new adjectives for honoring houses. If I am elected, I will constantly be pouring out new ideas for building up house morale and bringing members together to win in a competition! This could include spreading the word about the House and Shield competition in an exciting way; it could also mean running extra fun things every now and then to spice up life in XKI!

As far as House Stewards are concerned, I will be checking up on every house to see if they are needed (in the case of a founder CTE, being inactive on the forums for at least 12 months, or leaving the Islands all together). I will do my best to choose a fair, active member who will look after the house while the founder is away.

{Why choose Triora?}
I am a cheerful and friendly member of this region. I am a member of TITO and I hold two emissary positions. I'm active on the forums and Discord almost every single day. I also am quite a creative person, which would help greatly with new ideas for house competitions, games, and the Achievement Plan. I am knowledgeable about the workings of the House System, Competitions, and Achievement Plan. I am attentive to questions and ideas from fellow Islanders.
I may be a bit new to the house system, but I do love the people of 10000 Islands, and I am dedicated to their well-being. I've learned so much already just by preparing this speech, and I feel prepared to take on this position in an enthusiastic manner. If I am elected as Lyonnesse East Senator, I'll spend these next months in my term doing whatever I can to help.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.



Remember to vote Triora for Lyonnesse East!

I'm very happy to see another member of my House run for Senator. I wholeheartedly endorse this candidacy. Good luck!

What do you think about the Transparency Act? With some time passed since the law passed, how would you evaluate how it's gone? What would you like changed, if anything?

Hello Paffnia, and thank you for your question!

I am very much in support of the Transparency Act. The core of my campaign is in alignment with this act - I want to strengthen the bonds between non-council members and council members whilst making it easier to communicate ideas. The Transparency Act seems to do exactly that and, seeing that it seems to have worked quite well since it's been passed, I am in full support of this act. 

On the note of changes, I honestly have nothing to change or add. I am glad to see the efforts we as a community are making to increase transparency and unity.

Hi Triora, best of luck with the election. A few questions for you:

What sort of ideas do you have to increase activity in the Houses?
Do you have any other ideas of things you would like to do as Senator outside the House System?
What is your favourite type of cake?

[Jabberwocky]

What would you do to promote greater involvement by other party members?

Thank you for your questions Ater Nox ! 

For increasing activity in the Houses, I'd like to add some more fun challenges. Perhaps this could be a monthly thing, relating to different holidays. Another fun idea might be awarding prizes for throwing the best birthday parties for house members! Anything from extravagant parties and challenges to little community get-togethers would make the House System such a fun place to be a part of!


As far as other Senatorial ideas go...well, I've still got a lot to learn about how this all works. As of now, I don't have any ideas, but if I am elected I'm sure I will be able to have a better view of XKI's needs, wants, and other areas for improvement.

Finally, my favorite type of cake is essentially anything chocolate. However, it is essential that the frosting be chocolate, else I may not eat the frosting at all. The actual cake matters less to me than the frosting. Unless, of course, it is coffee or nut-flavored. That's a bit odd to me.

Congrats Triora!
