DoC for New Republica South!

[Dominion of Compassion]

Hey all!

I’m Dominion of Compassion, stepping back into the running for the Council of Nine!

Fun fact, this seat was the first seat I was ever elected to here in the XKI! I helped create sweeping reforms that improved the involvement of the parties in elections and helped pump up participation a bit. Sadly, nothing is ever perfect, and we see that reflected very much so in our current party system. I’m planning to work with the council to figure out exactly what is going wrong with our parties and how best to fix them in a way not necessarily built around punishments and harsh rules, but built around cooperation and mutual understanding towards a common good. This is a tough job, and I’m seeking to build on my predecessor’s excellent work.

I’m also well known to several regions based on my time as Delegate of the XKI, a job I held a while back and enjoyed doing immensely. I would continue working with our allies to fight back against raiders and defend regions who are vulnerable to attack. I take raiding seriously and have a zero tolerance policy for raiders and raiding, period.

I’m dedicated to the well being and improvement of the XKI, and will work to make this region the best that it can be!

I invite anyone with questions to ask away!

Thank you, and viva the XKI!

The fact that you are known in the NS community will be to your advantage and perhaps help you do things I was unable to accomplish. For example, a couple of months ago, we managed to generate a lot of activity just prior to elections. However, sustaining that enthusiasm is a bit of a challenge. The current elections are another fine example. Three races, a mere three candidates, all from one party. How do you propose to maintain enthusiasm between elections?

Honestly, I wish I had a cut-and-dry, check off the boxes and we’re done way to generate and maintain that enthusiasm, but the truth is, I really don’t. And I don’t think this is a position where that kind of a solution can even be achieved. I think we need to revamp the way we’re looking at the parties and the way we’re looking for solutions. This is not a place where one size fits all. The senator from this seat is going to have to be constantly adapting. New situations will arise that require new solutions. And while we can’t predict exactly what those will be, we can predict that we need to be adaptive, ready to learn new strategies, and ready to grow and see things from newer and more innovative angles than before.

That’s why I am seeking to work with the whole Council of 9 to find ways to begin these new adaptive systems and solutions. This is an issue that affects the whole of the XKI, and as such I believe it extends beyond whoever holds this particular seat at any given time, and must be dealt with at a regional level.
