Krystalveil for Himes West

[Krystalveil]

Hello, everyone! I am Krystalveil and I have decided to run for the Himes West position – position that oversees the RP in the region.


I joined NS to materialize somewhere my nation, that existed on paper for almost 5 years before I found out about this site and became eager to join. Even as a featured nation, my passion for RP has been noticed, my activity being focused, before ATA was born, on RP on the RMB. Now that ATA opened, I spend my time participating in various RPs among other nations, creating a fun space for us to explore ideas, the space and others.


Seeing that my primary focus was on the NS, and less on the forums, I joined HumanSanity’s Office as a Cultural Assistant, where I, together with them and Marxist Germany, held “Gulliver’s Travels” event, which, despite not drawing the attention I’ve hoped for, boosted my eagerness to influence the organization side of RP. I have also drafted a guideline on how RP should be – guideline after the nations in ATA play today (after being approved by MG).


My plans regarding the RP community in XKI are coming from my “experience” in RP and seeing what the nations want. I want to continue to maintain the safety, fun and friendliness of the community of RPers, while working together with them to create long lasting friendships.


I want to:

• organize RP events that I have seen in other regions, with special themes and outcomes;
  
  
• work together with the Cultural Office to create events for not only the RPers, but also other nations, hoping to increase the number of RPers;
  
• come up with RP activities suited not only for the NS site, but also the Forums, where I also saw older nations engaging in different types of RP – such as Mafia.
  
  

Thank you for your time, trust and I hope to convince you to vote for Krystalveil. I am waiting for your questions, which I will gladly answer to give you more details why I would be a suited candidate. Thank you again.




The one and only, Krystalveil

Hey there! Good to see you're running in this!

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?

As a Senator, one of your objectives will certainly to expand the number of nations actively involved in XKI (i.e. on ProBoards) roleplay. XKI has thousands of nations, including a large majority not active on this forum, and only active gameside. This includes some nations that are likely active in NS roleplay (in either ATA or on the forums made by Max Barry) but not XKI roleplay. How do you plan to take some of these NS roleplayers and get them involved in XKI’s roleplay moreso?

1. I belive, that as Chief Executive, you are not only in control of how the region operates, but also responsible for it. Therefore I think that a certain veto power, in times of need, when a quick action is necessary, then someone in charge should be able to make a decision fast, without necessarily waiting for other opinions or when they feel like a certain rule might not be as beneficial as its purpose, be able to send it back to be rewritten.
2. This in consideration, I don't believe it should be removed or narrowed.

I believe that some nations fear of RPing because they believe it's time consuming, hard to do or maybe they feel the themes that go around in RP aren't for them. So with the right idea, it could attract more nations to be involved in RP and spend time in XKI RP.

Obviously, another part is the people that RP and a friendly and opened community is also a very important aspect - that's why, more than the RP itself, it's the community that matters and makes you feel good when RPing.

Thanks. You mention the importance of the “right idea”. Would you be able to post here specifically one of those “right ideas” to atract role players to XKI RP in the first place?

I've noticed that certain fantasy worlds, murder mystery games or Mafia tend to attract people that aren't generally interested into RPing into RP - so I would focus coming up with this types of RP.
