Senator W&S's RP Office/news thread

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

Hello everyone!

I'm W&S and I've just been appointed Senator for Himes West, which according to a recent change in legislation, is now in charge of the roleplay forum. I'm starting this thread so I have a single place to post RP updates and take suggestions. I may have this thread moved to the top-level subforum eventually, but considering it concerns entirely OOC accounts of things going on in the RP world.

My goal is to use this thread for a couple of purposes:

1) Serve as an RP news thread. I envision that every so often, likely every 1-2 weeks or so, I will post 1 "10KI Evening News" where I cover the IC goings-on in the nations around 10000 Islands.

2) Take your suggestions for improvements to the forum or to RP in general. I'm very new to RP but I'm going to do my best to dive in as much as I can. I am totally open to your suggestions/compliments/complaints. Please tell me if there's something you think I could do better or that you'd like to see out of RP in 10ki.

In the meantime, please make yourselves comfortable!

It's commendable that you chose an office in the workaday world rather than the musty confines of the Senate building.

To be quite honest I’m much more comfortable amongst my constituents than i am amongst other politicians. And I figured it would be more useful to have it here than the senate building since I wanted to have an RP news thread anyway.

The question is, who is paying for this far more luxurious office space?

[Paffnia]

Nice place! Glad to have you on the Council!

O.o I spy a certain shady politician come back... what is this? Do I really need to answer this question?

And thanks Paff! I'm excited for what's to come.

It's a simple question, Witchcraft and Sorcery. Back in my day, the plain, ol' drab offices afforded to the senators was good enough for us. If the Friends of W&S Campaign Committee is paying for this upgraded space, they have every right to do so, but if it's the hard-working Islanders' tacos going to pay for this, well then, that must not stand!

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

The simple answer is that I built this on my own dime. The hard answer is tracking my personal finances, since the Taco Island Revenue Service does not seem to provide proper returns for any of its taxes...

[Isles of Nixon]

Fair enough.

Point 2: Will you Roleplay actively in this community for long enough so that you get a sense of the situation, or are you going to only observe? Personally, I think the former is better than the latter, but if you choose simply to observe, how will you know which suggestions are good bad?

Further, I personally would like to see this section grow bigger than it is. I have an idea to have a subforum for a Model United Nations of sorts, where we would RP as leaders of the nations we have/had on NationStates. Would you be open to this idea?

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

Yes and yes. I am very inexperienced with RP but I'm going to do my best to learn and be active in the community. I don't think I can be an effective moderator/manager without actually participating. I"m working on my national history right now and I encourage anyone else who's interested in participating to do the same, as it will give all of us a good overview of the types of players/nations we are dealing with.

To the second point, I think we could have our own assembly of nations that vote on various laws and resolutions that affect IC gameplay. I like that idea a lot actually. I'm considering a little rearrangement of the RP subforums and I will take that idea into very strong consideration.
