Questions for Senate candidates 1/22

[Valentian Elysium]

Welcome, welcome everyone, to this month's election's questions! Which also happen to be my last for this term, as I do not plan on rerunning. I know it is sad, I'll miss you too, but I'm sure there'll be fun questions to be asked in the future!
Now, this month, the seats for New Republica South and Blue Canaria North are to be contested!
Without further ado, the questions!

Questions for all candidates:

How active are you on NationStates, and in XKI, as well as on other associated sites (forum, discord, RMB, etc.)?

Have you ever held government positions in the past, in XKI or elsewhere? If so, how will that experience contribute in your term?

Why would you like to run for your selected office?

Do you plan on having a deputy while in office, and if so, how will you select who to choose?

What do you like the most about XKI?


Questions for New Republica South candidates:

How do you plan on running the Grand Debate Hall?

Do you have any big plans in mind for the Grand Debate Hall?

How active are you in the Grand Debate Hall?

Are there any changes you would like to make to the Grand Debate Hall?


Questions for Blue Canaria North candidates:

Are you versed in writing dispatches on NS, or perhaps somewhere not on NS?

Will you ensure that you finish the emissary report on time?

Would you like to see something implemented onto the existing Emissary Report? Is there anything that you'd perhaps remove from the report?


Thank you candidates for your answers. Best of luck in your upcoming elections!
As for me....we shall meet again soon! Thank you all, and till next we meet!

All excellent questions!

Questions adressed to all candidates:

A.) I am extremely active on the XKI discord, and a consistent participant in NS gameside activities, especially defending with TITO.

B.) I have! I've held prominent positions in regions during my NS career, which have taught me how to effectively make decisions qhile in power, and most importantly, how to listen to the wishes of the people.

C.) From my experiences mentioned in the previous question, I have learned that the greatest challenge facing any region is in maintaining activity. As such, I want to use my lositoon in the CO9 to perpetuate pur region through creating activty, as well as making said activity a pleasing and enjoyable experience for the participants.

D.) I do indeed plan to have a deputy while in office. I simply plan on accepting statements of interest from potential deputies, and choose the one that best fits the office.

E.) My favorite part of XKI is by far the people. XKI has such a wonderful culture and wonderful people, and I feel incredibly honored by my ability to serve them in ghe CO9.

Questions for the NRS candidates:

I plan to run the Grand Debate Hall with a once weekly debate, with some extras thrown in on special occasions. I fully intend to maintain an openness in my decision-making, and to maintain good faith with the community by remaining open to their suggestions and putting into action the ones that best fit.

B.) "Big plans" is subjective. I myself do not have any specific plans beyond what I have already explained. However, I re.ain open to the ideas of others, and am perfectly willing to implement the plans of participants if it is to better the Grand Debate Hall.

C.) My levels of activity in the Grand Debate Hall are regrettably low, due to unfortunate limitations to my own free time until recently. However, I guarantee that my potential election to the NRS seat will mark a sharp turning point in that trend.

D.) As always, my plan is to espouse activity through careful monitoring and attentive directing. A cuange I'd like to see is towards the end of most debates, in which activity dwindles. As such, I'd love to implement a method to prevent this, however long it takes me to discover this method.


I thank you, Val, for these amazing questions ^-^

This has been Lunaflower, signing off.

[MrHermit]

Thanks for the questions, I shall answer as honestly as possible.
Questions for all candidates:

How active are you on NationStates, and in XKI, as well as on other associated sites (forum, discord, RMB, etc.)?
Nationstates itself I am active daily for between 5 and 14 hours a day and try to attend as many updates as possible. Very active on discord and lurk mostly in forums and Rmb.

Have you ever held government positions in the past, in XKI or elsewhere? If so, how will that experience contribute in your term?
This will be my first government position in NS. I believe my freshness can bring a new way of looking at matters. It also means that I'm looking for advice and feedback from anybody.

Why would you like to run for your selected office?
Ever since I joined XKI it has been my dream to join the council of nine. On top of that I enjoy writing report so this so this seat felt like a really good option for me to run for.

Do you plan on having a deputy while in office, and if so, how will you select who to choose?
Yes, I do. On a statement of interest basis. I'll then take those statement of interest and then picking who I feel is the best fit for the role.

What do you like the most about XKI?
The people. This game is based around community interaction and XKI is the greatest community I have ever come across.

Questions for Blue Canaria North candidates:

Are you versed in writing dispatches on NS, or perhaps somewhere not on NS?
No in NS. But my real life job involves writing reports on a regular basis
Will you ensure that you finish the emissary report on time?
Yes.
Would you like to see something implemented onto the existing Emissary Report? Is there anything that you'd perhaps remove from the report?
Not at the moment. I'm happy with the way it is currently.

First off, it's always good to see some new candidates. A question for all: what will you do to promote surfers' rights?

Surfers are the lifeblood of the XKI! As such, all surfers get a free cookie and an admiring glance. Surfer underappreciation ends today!
