Hello, I'm Murphtannia, and this is my attempt to convince you to vote for me for New Republic South.
Who am I? I joined Nation States quite recently, August 2020, after watching a Drew Durnil video on the game. After that I've been hooked. A day or two after joining I was invited to 10KI Islands, and gladly accepted. I also started rping on A Taco Archipelago quite a lot, however with the return of school I took a small break, which lasted for a month or two before returning recently. Minus the break I have been on ATA basically every day, all day. Since joining I have also been active on Nation States sports, in fact being on it every day since becoming a nation. As soon as I joined 10KI I was interested in involving myself in the politics of the region, and recently became Emissary to Forest and joined TITO.
Why should you make me senator of NRS? Well let try and answer. The first thing people will notice about me is a lack of experience, and while I may not have experience on NS, I'd say I have learnt quite a lot in my 5 months here, and I would say I have experience in debate. I love debating and have been debating for the past 6 years a t least, so I would say I know a lot about debates, how to keep them civil, how to ensure both sides get their view across and so on. I want to use that experience to create more debate on 10KI, in my time here, I have noticed the lack of a debate channel on the Discord, with politics being the only choice, therefore I want to create 3 channels, 1 for serious debate and the other for debate on non serious issues, that way giving people a choice. Every 2 days I will start a debate, 1 a non-serious topic such as pineapple on pizza, and 1 a more serious one, such as the recent 2020 American elections. It is my hope that with lots of new debates I can make debating fresher and more welcoming. Don't worry I am flexible, should a debate topic prove unpopular, I will only leave it a day, and on the opposite side of that, should a debate topic prove popular, I will keep it going for longer. Finally the 3rd Channel. This is a Channel where you come and make your own topic, not everyone wants a debate schedule and will sometimes want to debate a recent issue or whatever comes to mind at the time. Also, once a week I want to hold Debate Night, where anyone who wants too comes along and joins a vc, where we can have a verbal debate, the topic of which will be voted on a couple days before.
Don't worry Forum Users and RMB users, I have changes for you as well. First on the Forum. The thing I have noticed about the Grand Debate Hall is that it can be overwhelming to newcomers. You go on and you see long lists of debates. First I would want to re-organise them. Have a section for Non serious topics, serious topics, NS topics and 10KI specific topics. This should encourage more participation in debates, as newcomers aren't scared off by overwhelming amounts of information. Finally for the Grand Debate Hall I want to add more variety, debates lasting a few hours, debates lasting weeks, days and so on, and more variation in topics, and finally a suggestions channel, I can't predict every topic people will want, so let them ask for the ones they want, a suggestion channel will also be added to the Discord.
The RMB I have chosen to talk about last as it covers things I want to achieve as a member of the council of 9, as well as senator for New Republic South. I want to encourage more activity on the RMB, my first plan of doing that is to create RMB debate night (can you sense a theme here?). On the RMB I will create a debate, to test they will initially be 1 day in lasting, once a week. Due to their being less people on the RMB debates will happen with less frequency, and so serious and non serious topics will alternate every week. I will create the debate topic when I wake up, so no earlier than 6AM Uk time, and for the rest of the day allow people to debate at will. If these debates are popular and successful then I'll expand them to a new topic every few hours, or extend the existing topic if it's popular. This comes hand in hand with my goal of increasing activity on the RMB. As a member of the CO9 I will do my best to push for things to be looser on the RMB, as it's currently a place of serious meaningful conversation, and things like saying hello can be frowned upon. Therefore I want to make it a more relaxed and chilled environment. This is because the RMB represents 10KI to newcomers in many ways, most of the time it's the first place they go to try and wrap their heads around the way things work here. So when a newcomer sees the RMB as a place of serious conversation only, they may get the wrong idea about our region and move on.
What will I try to achieve as senator? well being elected would make me a member of the CO9, and I want to use that position for many goals. Chief among these is trying to unite the communities of the RMB, Forum and Discord. I am aware that many people are only on 1 or 2 of these sites, which I believe limits user participation and doesn't give a user the full 10KI experience. First I want to hold mutli-site events, I also want to increase advertising, advertising the discord on the forums, and the forum on the rmb and so on. I'd also like to try and get the rpers of the region to try ATA, as I have that community to be welcoming and rp enjoyable, and I believe others would too, therefore enhacing their 10KI experience. I also want to encourage 10KI to increase support for defender regions, Raiders are a threat and attacks on innocent regions are unacceptable, however TITO, as impressive as it is, cannot defend them all, we should be helping other defender regions increase their operations so more regions can be defended and defenders can be in more place at any one time, and I of course will want to support TITO as much as I can. On a final note I do want to hire a deputy NRS Senator, I am one man and and can't do everything by myself, I believe a deputy would help me create a wider array of interesting debate, provide a second opinion, be able to step in should I be unable to perform my role on a certain day due to unforeseen circumstances, and help makes things more efficient.
Thank you for reading, having a lovely day/evening
