Haivon for Lyonnesse East!

[Haivon]

Hello Everyone! This is my candidacy board! 

There are my qualifications for why you should vote me for LE:

- I'm one of the founding fathers of WIP, the party that is becoming famous right now;
- I have experience on being Deputy Minister of Immigration;
- One of the most active nations;
- I already have a political career from long ago;
- I'm winner of the Rookie of the Quarter and also featured nation;
- I'm a TITO member and I've been part of many operations;
- Not an active one, but a remarkable recruiter;
- I'm an Emissary on Portugal, a Region close to XKI and special by the fact it is a 'foreign language' region.


Now, let's go to what really matters.
The Lyonnesse East is responsible for seeing houses, and I will keep was has been done all those years. A thing that interest me a lot is the Accelerator competitions, as they are related to recruitment, a thing I've been related for a long time. For me is a fun thing houses stand together in competitions, and I will try to be the most active in those events as possible, as I've shown to be very present, this won't be a problem. It would be cool if we promoted House Cup and Shield Competitions to new people even more, as it is an important event that is famous all along the Forum and all the Region.

Another thing that I've recently noted is the fact that many houses are being abandoned due to inactive founders. Houses for me might create a Deputy Leader, that in case the house creator ceases to exist, the person appointed by their creator might take place, and keep the house name on. For me the House name shall keep the same, in name of the preservation of their history. It might be an attempt to keep them on, and besides it won't be always necessary, many houses that would fail would still have it status.

That is everything for me till now, but I will be always open to new ideas. =)

Hi Haivon,

I had a few questions:

1. I'm going to be super blunt. In the past, I've given you positions of responsibility working for me that were of smaller scope than a Senate seat and required regular work and upkeep. However, you didn't follow through and also didn't give notice that you weren't intending to follow through which resulted in me dismissing you. What assurances can you give something similar won't happen when you are a Senator, a higher position with greater workload that it is also virtually impossible to dismiss someone from for inactivity?

2. What specific strategies would you use to promote the House Cup and Shield contest to new members?

3. Why are you running for Lyonnesse East if your primary involvement in our community, as far as I can tell, is in the on site role playing community? Why not run for Himes West instead?

Hey Haivon, good to see you running.

I have a few questions which are not specific to the seat:

What is your opinion on the Chief Executive's constitutional veto power?

Specifically, do you think the Chief Executive's veto power should be removed or narrowed in scope?

If the answer to the second question is "yes": Will you undertake or support an effort to remove the Chief Executive's veto or to narrow its scope if elected?

How does your Deputy Leader proposal differ from House Stewards which are already a thing (cf. NS222-2 House Continuity and Closure Act)

Hi Haivon ,

1. Yes, I remember when I didn't did well when I was working in card farm. But I can say that for me, I wasn't feeling to well in that position because I considered it a bit boring (no offending) and I actually was lazy to create many Nations and I fell tired of answering too many Issues in NS so far. An example of this is New Haivon, which I don't do answer Issues over it has been a long time. I really can say that I wasn't fit for that job and I didn't cared too much for, and I thank you for dismissing me from it, because I really didn't had the courage to do so. As for this new position, I'm actually going to do a work I'm interested with, and for myself won't consider boring and for me is much more participative and I would very like to. 

2. An monetary incentive for houses create propaganda for invite people to join them and consequently to the House Cup and Shield Contest may be an option. In the times of event things in-site can be done to even Factbooks to call attention of new people, that might even join the Forum if they weren't in some cases.

3. There are many reasons for. RP can involve in many things, and Lyonnesse East is one of them. In my opinion things must be the most favorable to the happiness of the people in the Region and Forum. Himes West is the main way for RP in the Region, but this doesn't mean that other people's jobs might also collaborate. And as the House Cup and Shield Contest is one of them, I think promoting it might be a good thing. 

If there is anything I didn't explained well feel free to ask.

1. It isn't a purely democratic thing, but for me it's essential in some cases, sometimes for even the protection of the region. But it only must be used when truly necessary and can't be used every time the Chief Executive thinks a thing is wrong without anything to prove it's point.
2. I don't think it should be removed but (check 1).
3.
4. I've been already looking into it, and what I have in mind this is a very helpful thing, but for me it's a good thing a House Leader already have a Deputy Leader on it's sleeve because consider that for example, a House Leader might go on a holiday and then don't be active over the Forum, even for a small time, but something then happens and the Leader isn't available. So, this Deputy Leader might take place and do things in their place till he returns. Also as the NS222-2 House Continuity and Closure Act says, in case the Leader ceases to exist and other options. In my opinion it is already very effective and it's a very good thing, but this change of a Deputy Leader already ready could be added to the law. And yeah, if both Leader and Deputy Leader ceases to exist, a new leader shall be appointed. And in this case if the Deputy Leader definitively takes place, a new Deputy Leader shall be appointed by the same Deputy Leader. And it will be like this like a circle. It might need many changes, but the result would be very efficient. It would also promote Houses a lot as many discussions and talks might be implemented to it. So, my idea of involving people with it might actually benefit from this.

If there is anything you didn't get just ask me that I will explain.

As a Senator, one of your objectives will certainly to expand the number of nations actively involved in the house system. XKI has thousands of nations, including a large majority not active on this forum, and only active gameside. How do you plan to get these nations to join the forum so they can become involved in the house system?

In the past few months XKI has been doing a lot of effective programs that are working a lot in getting those people into the Forum. A thing that might collaborate is as I said, improve the House Cup and Shield Contest propaganda even more to the in site game using tactics as Factbooks, propaganda, and monetary incentive with tacos to make house leaders to make propaganda to those new nations. But I can't see how to even improve in making them joining the Forum, but making them involved in the house system might also need what did I already said in this same post. As new ways that show to be very effective show up, they might be clearly used.

Haivon, I totally understand if you haven't had the time yet, but please take the time at some point before next Tuesday to give your answers to the question set I prepared for all candidates: 10000islands.proboards.com/thread/39524/senate-candidates-7-20

[Paffnia]

Commiserations, Haivon.
