An hour has passed, so I'm assuming RMB silence has been broken. I trust that our Manager will count the votes of the other three Board members as they are announced.

Yup. RMB silence is over, the other three Board members must still vote here soon, I will find the votes and quote all five once it's over.

Still nice to have happen, I guess.

RIP Alchandria. The Irremovable Russia will be dearly missed once I've stopped trying to figure out how to remove his claim on the map.

We need another RLP debacle. Nothing brought us closer together than TTA tearing us apart.

Also could any form of Anarchism actually stay anarchism before humans began creating rules and laws? Or would it still be Anarchy with rules and laws so long as there were no "Ruling Parties" to enforce said rules?

And thank you, fellow Board members, for voting for me. The position of Chairman is a tremendous honor, and I hope to lead the Board in accomplishing many things this term. Our legislature's affairs and plans for the month will be brought to everyone's attention very soon. Until then, let's talk about how awesome Lack's professor is.

Yep, that's very true. I'm eager to see who gets the chairman position next term...but even more eager to lead the Board in our greatest activity surge yet this term.

Remember who held that position in the past, look at one of your titles, consider your employment, and choose your words wisely.

Lol.

We can operate under the eyes of defenders and the WA fairly well. They are ignorant the hundreds of regions Libertatem has successfully infiltrated and claimed, and they simply are too high up in their Ivory Towers, caring oh so much about The Black Riders and The Greater German Reich to give a damn about anything else. Typical. In reality, I don't give two frogs about what the WA thinks about us, as the WA has easily sided with the communists as shown in the Nazi Europe raid, with giants like The North Pacific working side by side with North Korea. Any person who values sovereignty would actively work against the WA, and the SC in particular, as the organization is being used as a tool by the communists of the Internationale and others related to CAPS to spread socialism.

If anything, we should be commended for ridding the statist slime from Nationstates. But that would be an insult greater than a condemnation, me thinks, than to be commended by the likes of them.

Humpheria wrote:Remember who held that position in the past, look at one of your titles, consider your employment, and choose your words wisely.

Hey, you're the President now - if there was ever a time for holding your past accomplishments in a higher regard than your ability to be a good role model and leader, you've certainly passed it already.

I've got the drive to make things happen, a fantastic team of Board members to work alongside, and the most effective former Chairman to this day as my superior. This is our time to not only do the best job we can, but the best job we ever have in regional history, and I believe that is well within our capabilities.

My statement is not a threat but a promise - as Chairman, I strive for excellence, and hope that those I work with (and for) strive for the same.

Hear hear. The day Libertatem is congratulated by those who seek to enforce their will upon the interregional community at large is the day we've failed ideologically. Tyrants are right to fear the region's military and express their indignation at we who dare to defend the self-determination of sovereign, free regions. Their desire for a formal condemnation reflects our formidable reputation.

Then again, the Riders consider the condemnations they accumulate to be trophies, and they are surely no friends of ours.

I encourage all WA members to vote for Minerva's SC bill if you have not already.

I recommend adding "Anti-World Assembly" to the tag list. Thoughts?

Eh. I was under the impression that there are quite a few people here who don't have anything against the World Assembly, but I could be wrong.

Depends. Could put it to vote.

Conservative Idealism In Libertatem wrote:Eh. I was under the impression that there are quite a few people here who don't have anything against the World Assembly, but I could be wrong.

The World Assembly stands totally contrary to this region's basic principles, and so as a region we must be against it.

Or not. Because I'm totally not forcing my RLP ideology on anyone...

The return of the RLP Tyranny. TTA was right

It is with the greatest amount of sadness that I announce another Cabinet change.

Vice President Minecraft is retiring from regional politics. Now, I have been assured that he will not be retiring from NS. Only the government.

In his place, in both positions, will now sit Boardman Muh Roads. He will take the position of IA Manager as soon as the election to fill his seat is complete. However, he will take the position of Vice President immediately.

I cannot thank Mien enough for everything he has done for this region and administration and strongly urge him to reconsider his refusal of a Board run.

...Well, that was unexpected. Congratulations on your promotion to Vice President, Muh.

Just so you guys know I never said I was retiring now, but I guess I am now.

It's been fun. I'll keep up on the map and the paper, I promise.

Conservative Idealism In Libertatem wrote:...Well, that was unexpected. Congratulations on your promotion to Vice President, Muh.

I have known of his impending retirement since the election. I actually did the switch a little bit before the retirement, but this way the transition can be made more easily.

Really, though, I'll give you the code for the factbooks later today, Muh. You're not getting the map, though.

*gollum activated*

Like I said. You should run to replace Muh to finish out your time that you had allotted.

This was, like, exactly how I wanted my service to go, though.

First just a regular citizen, then a Board member, then Chairman, then Cabinet. And then VP came along and I did that too. Now that I've done everything I want to do, I really just think I'll sit back and keep the place nice and beautiful.

Also, Retirement Special: All flags 50% off. That's, like, 50% of free, so still free.

Yes!!

The military post I live on, Fort Campbell, is paying tribute to the fallen American servicemen of the 2003 to 2011 Iraq War. Pairs of boots are laced and tied, with a photo of a fallen American serviceman placed in the laces of the boots. Some boots are donated pairs from other American soldiers, while the others are boots owned by fallen servicemen. About 4,000 pairs of boots have been collected so far.

I just got back from preparing the boots for display. It’s really a sobering job.

Another result of Tsar Bush II's failed War on Terrorism. Funny how more people died in the War in Iraq than on 9/11. FFS

Also, Chicago has more homicides than Afghanistan. Another result of CommieDems failed gun control policies.

Can I get some people that want to run for the special election?

Some say October is the slowest point in the year on NationStates. Well, not for us. Not for our Board.

The administration we serve under is highly supportive of Board business, and will now include last term's Chairman, Muh Roads. My fellow Board members and I make a great team, and there's a slot open for anyone who wants to join us and make legislation happen.

The Board's priorities for the month are as follows:

- We want a resolution to the public outcry for transparency and accountability, and we want it this month. Citizens of Libertatem, please weigh in on what's the best way to disclose Board affairs, and if the House demands that legislation be made to establish an official policy of transparency, we will put any such proposals to vote.

- We want to get Lack's proposal put to vote very soon. The BR Amendment, or BRA, will establish the protocols necessary to ensure our checks and balances are rigid, as well as provide the deputy positions some legitimacy at long last. If you have any thoughts on the proposed Bureaucratic Restrictions Amendment before the region undertakes the amendment process, please share them.

- Finally, we want to know what you want, and seek your involvement in Libertatem's affairs. Get involved in the region's political process. Let us know if you've written or proposed legislation that needs to be voted on. And be sure to run for the special Board election, or at least partake in it once it starts!

That's all I have to say for now. Thank you.

The average person living here would never know it without the news. Shootings are mainly concentrated in Englewood (far south side) and the Humboldt Park area (west side).

The violence has far more to do with the fact that the major gangs like the Gangster Disciples and the Latin Kings have been broken up into smaller organizations. Now you've got ten times the number of gangs fighting over the same territory:

http://www.wbez.org/node/102612#gangmap

The vast majority of those killed are foot-soldiers themselves... it's the few innocents that get caught in the crossfire that are the real tragedies. The best thing to end the violence would probably be to end the drug war.

*facepalm* It's for the Board position that just opened up. Muh Roads is getting Miencraft's old job(s) and someone needs to fill his seat.

Oh- I didn't realize he'd gotten the nod. Congrats to Muh!

I'd be willing to run for a place on the board as the Anti-Corporatist Party Candidate, if my party will have me.

My main platform will be to:

1. Expand the War on Communism into a general War for Liberty. We should take a more clear stance against fascist, nazi, and other totalitarian ideologies with the same fervor. Minerva deserves credit for taking the initiative in this direction in terms of action. As a board member, I would continue to support the actions of Libertatem's military and do what I can to increase our available forces.

2. Engage with moderate and democratic regions, even if they are not entirely libertarian. If we are to take on the statists, democratically-minded regions must work together. If you read the forum on the WA Proposal to Condemn North Korea, you will find many moderate-left regions that are disgusted with the behavior of the narrow-minded, totalitarian forces of the illiberal left. They are looking for leadership in standing up to aggressors and if we continue to engage with regions, regardless of ideological un-orthodoxies, we can be that leadership.

3. Support Former President Pev's and the Current President's to decentralize Libertatem's government and continue to support efforts at transparency. Our greatest argument against regions like North Korea and Das Kommune is simply how we run things here. We don't suppress posts from people we disagree with. We afford nations the right to trial before they can be ejected. We hold our government officials accountable through the democratic process. As board member, I will always err on the side of liberty when it comes to making policy.

If a challenger steps up, we will hold an election. If not, the ACOP grows.
