Goldenloser for Delegate

[Goldenloser2241]

I've spent almost two years with this fine region. I remember my first TITO mission like it was yesterday and I'm sure people are almost sick of hearing me talk so I'll just say it was the origonal liberation of The North Pacific. That time showed me the fun that can be had in Nation States and all the great things this game has to offer. I also saw the amazing people and friends you can come in contact with through this region, since then I have always loved this region.

I had a period in which I was inactive but I missed the region to much to completly leave. Whe I returned I joined the Immigration Departement and quickly become dedicated. From there I was honored with the position of Education Minister which I must say has been some amazing fun, right now the University we promised over a year ago is finally comming together and hopefully in comming weeks you can realize what our hard work has brought.

As for what I want to do as a delegate having your voice heard in the UN is somthing I believe in and somthing I want to get going again mcuh like it was during the reigns of TSNA and ol Boktavia.

Immigration as I and other have beat to death is the most cruical part to this region. Immigration I believe is under fine leadership but suffers from a lack of active nations. I was to use the currency system that we have in place to energize the members. A bonus for joining in possibly the amount of 500 and award the top three recruiting nations (based on time) large bonus attached to their montly salary.

Education I have had large plans for a while now. The University once it is ready I'm sure will be somthing great and at this point its only maybe weeks away from completion. The XKI Mag I see as a for of education for the region thus I want to work on ideas I have had and I have been given and sitting on for a while now. Monthly or biweekly debates on either RL, or NS issues. I want the XKI mag to be more than interviews but more information, reporting and opinion based pieces.

My plans for TITO are simple get TITO active again by any means.
Intellegence is somthing that I believe should be worked on. Not dirty intellegence but intellegence that allows us as a region to do our job I want to see again LET FREEDOM RING at the top of a region. I also see reginal defense and the need for good relations between nations as somthing that goes hand in hand. We have the emmissary program that has worked in some situation and I believe with that seemingly on solid ground should be better used in regions that are known as active regions and regions that will make our ambassadors feel as if they are working for a reason.

I've gone long so please any questions on anything please feel free to throw some questions at me.

You wanted a question thrown at you:

So, recently in our senate elections Jesioneka declared his belief that the RRC should have the ability to physically deal with wages. (Based on the fact that Grub's work load on the forum is already extensive)
Given that the currency is such a vital part of of forum existence and is not fulfilling it's potential would you support legislative motions within the Council of Nine to extend the power of the RRC to cover wage payment and currency transference?

(Post Script: Personally, i of course recognise the need for rigourous scrutiny of the RRC given the extended power such a task would entail, and this role would feasibly be covered by the Co9.)

how will you get TITO active again?

[Jesioneka]

Not to flood you with questions, but here's another:

I agree with you about the Emissary Program. In inactive regions, our emissaries lose the motivation to continue their work. How do you propose we give them an incentive and keep them active? For example, do you know of any more active regions offhand that I should consider opening relations with? Do you think rotating emissaries among regions would keep things fresh? What about a salary? I'm not saying I support all of those things -- I'm just tossing out ideas. I'm sure you might have some of your own too. I just ask because traditionally the role of the Delegate has been to help with foreign affairs as well.

The idea that the RCC I believe should have a physical control over the exchange of tacos within the island. Grub, as we all know has seemingly almost too much on his plate and to me the RCC is like a Government departement. Education holds rights over the education of the region (ex Classes, RMB messages, telegrams to new arrivals ect.) this power is given to the head of the deparement. Like the RCC Sinn you are the head of the departement and I would support legislation that would allow the head of the RCC power to distribute money (monthly pay, loans from bussinesses, pay for goods ect.). I see it as only making this program/experiment that we have embarked on is more efficent thus making it hopefully more successful.

I would hope to open better relations with Defender groups such as Pacific Defenders. Other defender's regions seem to always have small side missions they may need help with. The hope in this is that we are able to post around Nation States about our victories and let our actions speak as our advertisements. New nations that want to defend come here willing to defend but recently have seen no if any action at all. Our TO's have been helpful when they are on but it just hasent been enough. I remember last year a lot of my work came in with helping out with missions that required aiding another or maybe 2 other defender groups. Better relations with other groups and their "field leaders" and better intellegence with our own people will give us the action that we havent had for so long.

As a side note immigration has to increase in order for us to build up our own forces further.

Good to know. Also, of course in some explicit and some more oblique ways, IMM is tied in integrally with this issue.

I agree with the previous idea of going to regions that have large populations (just to start) but it has to go beyond that. The forums of these regions have to be visited and checked to make sure of activity. Off hand at the moment I can't think of many regions but possibly the Pacifics I don't believe we have cracked yet.

Salary for the emmisaries would make sense to me because they are doing a job for the region.

As for the rotation I don't think it would be a great idea for stability sake. Regions may become used to the emmisary and I believe the emmisary should be someone who should gain the trust and appreation of the region.

Now of corse as delegate I will help with forigen affairs. Establishing good friendly ties is somthing I want to do. Now don't get me wrong I'm not talking about ties like we did with The Urbanites no not at all. I want ties of mutual respect and good feelings nothing that will have us beholden to anyone or anyone beholden to us.

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

One more thing> I have no feelings either way on this issue. Not publiclly anyway: Do you feel that TITO members should get a wage per mission? Or is it still a strictly non-payment organisation?

[Gluuland]

Not that i want to barge in, but there is absolutely no reason to pay per mission... We have "troops," what we need is more leaders...

[Jesioneka]

Thanks for the quick response GL. I agree with basically everything you said, so you pass my test, lol. I think alliances are a thing of the past too, so nothing binding like the Urbanites thing. That era is over.

This is going to be a tough choice for us voters! I'm totally undecided.

[Goldenloser2241]

What Glu said. You are a member of TITO because you made a comitement to defense we have an amazing amount of ways to get money around the region. The mission of mutual defense and stiving for the rights of freedom for every region should be more than enough for every member of TITO.

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

Fair enough. Thats the vibe i got from Grub back in November. OK. No further comment in that regard.

Tough competition. That's how it should be. All the more reason in my opinion to expand the gov't with the inclusion of a lower chamber....provided the population increases, and this level of invovlement is maintained.

[Gluuland]

I detest that "the age of alliances is over." Urbanites was once a defender region such as ourselves, but had a small tight-knit community which lost interest in maintaining their defender status. We /do/ need alliances, especially for TITO, but not really just for the sake of having an alliance. Pacific Defenders is quite active, and a mutual alliance with them could be quite productive. We would need to have some talks with their leaders about how orders are given, but generally, thats what a TO does; a TO talks to other people to find out whats going on...
Petty alliances have never been useful to us because we are in no danger from invasions. /Influential/ alliances makes regions work togeather for a common goal, and can boost regional activity as well as population...

[Greek People Nation (GPN)]

I like the salary Idea for the top three nations in immigration.

Friendly relations and not alliances can be used to work twoard the betterment of both regions. I don't see alliances as overly useful because then you become beholden to your partner and visa versa. Like the Urbanites we became beholden to them because everytime they were invaded we had to divert people from somewhere else in order to save them. I'm not saying that this senario will come true incase we decide to enter into another formal alliance but who is to say it wont happen. I don't want to put this region in a bind like that where the majority of our time is spent watching the other party.

With friendly relations and mutual good feelings other groups like Pacific Defender's are more inclined to aid us. Pacific Defender's has already helped us in many defense missions and I'm am not aware of any true formal alliance between our two groups.

[Gluuland]

Call them what you will.... "Friendly relations" is just a term for an informal alliance... Especially when you can call them 'mutual"... I dont think we should be isolationist, which has been our past tendancy... Having formal alliances can keep nations moving between the regions, and boost immigration, while also putting our name out there... I agree, we were slightly distracted with Urbanites, but look at us now.... We are completely inactive... If it was as bad as you say, we should have been the ones to end the alliance as soon as Urbanites fell into disrepair, and didnt care anymore.... Alliances have ups and downs, but in the end, the benefits can outreach the cons...

We /need/ to be more active in NS.... Sending emissaries to other regions is not forming "good relations" by itself. We should become "allies" with some other regions /with/ founders, and of a respectable size and prominence.... We should then promote inter-regional traffic... That is how you create a network , and expand our influence in NS. Being our own region with a defense force is not enough...

This has already been made clear to us in the Co9 as we discussed how to increase the population. My fellow candidates know that we discussed changing the forums, emissaries, regional events, etc... We also recognized that we are a bit isolationist...

If the delegate is to be in charge of forreign relations, he must be willing to form alliances with other regions /and/ friendly relations... As deligate, i would just look out the window... I would look for regions who share our interests, and form strong bonds... /That/ is what an emissary does, and a delegate should be doing the same to an even greater extent.

[Hockeynutville]

We could always setup a private debating thread for you two to go at it

[Goldenloser2241]

lol <3

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

naa. Then none of us would get to watch.

[Goldenloser2241]

True true...and the viewing is half the fun.

[Gluuland]

I think we already have one of these "debate threads" going..

[Goldenloser2241]

Calm everyone down I propose a hug...come on Glu...*opens arms*

[Gluuland]

lol, yea....
We'll keep the politics in the politics thread....
Drinks anyone?

[Goldenloser2241]

Burnban....I'm underage but....today 21

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

lol. Yeah. Group Hug i think. It got a bit heated in the other page, over a silly leaked draft of an election message. I think we're all 21 today for the sake of amiable relations.

[Gluuland]

You're in england.... You dont have these laws anyways..

[Hockeynutville]

Heh heh suckers, 19 here in Canada ;D

[Gluuland]

and you're 18...

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

18 here. And i'm 16 and 3/4. Only a year or so to go for me...hohohoho.
