Who lives in a dumb state or a dumb country that practices daylight savings time?

I do. And I'm not happy about it. I like to wake up with the sun gosh darn it! Why do they have to take daylight away from our mornings? If I ever ran for political office, I would run for a seat in my state legislature on the idea of ending daylight savings time for my state.

if you ended it for your state you would have to end it for every state in your states timezone.

state.

I'm not entirely sure what you are referring to. Though I trust you are resigning from the Lunar Council or you will be removing yourself as Delegate.

Truxol, Civilisunio, Parakka Northland

Forestavia wrote:I wonder if Civ is going to do a speech. I want to be an informed voter.

Well let me make you a list.

1. I believe in realpolitik, whatever works best at the time should be what is done. No political decision should be based entirely upon ideology.

2. I believe that the government should never be corrupt in any way. I also believe that if anyone seems like a puppet they should be investigated (seeing their old regions) to see if they are suspicious in any way. We do not need to have another raider crisis.

3. I believe that The Mystical Council should be a leader of regions and not just simply a follower. I believe that we have the potential to be a sort of Alpha and create our own pacts and inter-regional alliances. This does not mean that we cant secure our own safety and the safety of other regions until then though by joining in as a minor member of an alliance.

4. I believe that the government has shown competence under harsh and sometimes stressful circumstances and that it has held strong during those times. I do not clearly remember a time when the government was under any sort of danger of collapsing without building itself back up.

5. I believe that any ideas that any person has should be presented to the government. No individual citizen should feel afraid that their proposal will get shot down immediately.

6. I believe that if a candidate is running under the banner of a political party, they should not be favored over the other. I know that this may seem disloyal but if I was in a party and I did not see the person in my party trying to get elected as right for the job then I will not vote for them, this may possibly mean that I would vote for the other candidate but that relies on circumstance.

7. I believe that every person in The Mystical Council (besides puppets of other regions or people who just got here and we haven't guaranteed that they are going to be good to the region) should get equal rights in voting and other areas of politics. Everybody should also be able to form things such as parties if they want to.

8. I believe that there should be total ideological freedom in The Mystical Council as most ideologies have good ideas of their own. In my eyes, a one ideology society is not even close to perfect which is why we need more people to present their own ideas.

9. I believe that the human race is simply imperfect which means that every single person has their flaws. If a person makes mistakes then they should be able to fix them and learn from them.

10. I believe that The Mystical Council needs to be a region to be looked up to, not looked down upon. If we are looked down upon then we look weak in the eyes of other regions. We would simply be the mouse on the ground while some bigger region looks at us from high on his perch, waiting to drop down and swoop us up like a falcon. I believe that some nationalism is good in a society, of course it cannot be to the point of racism and non-acceptance of other cultures. We always need to be prepared to accept other ideas and cultures.

Not much of a speech but that is a list of 10 beliefs I have.

Interesting speech, leaves me a bit concerned in parts. For example my main nation isn't located here as we all know so if I were to look at your speech I would have no rights within the region? Or have I missunderstood what you were trying to stay?

Also what's your view on the The Regional Alliance that I am putting together? (the draft treaty is on the founding nation if you want to check it out)

I agree, in fact if you win I move to propose that we abolish the position. It is of no real value.

That is exactly what i am going to do. Diminish the position on to the public. We don't need a minister of culture. The citizens regulate the culture, not the government.

It's not about you Civ, it's about your idea, and your idea is fundamentally wrong.

The main job of the Minister of Culture is find ways of keeping the region active. Partially you are right that the rest of the region should handle the bulk of the activity (this is by definition what an active region is, it's the engagement of a group of people, not 1 person) but all of that must start from somewhere: a topic to discuss, a news article written, an RP game created... and it is this starting point, that's the job of the Minister of Culture to create. You can't have the rest of the region handle the whole cycle; you must begin spark.

On the other hand, there needs to be a person who recognizes the culture of the people. I believe the Minister of Culture should be the one to do this. They should be able to do things such as

1. Make a list of religions (if invented) that can contribute to RP and other aspects of the region if deemed necessary

2. Help the Domestic Minister in things such as the making of Political Parties. The Domestic Minister has a lot of responsibility within the council as they have to deal with things such as the RMB, votes, politics, etc. and that can add up.

3. Help with the making of the newspaper (that has already been mentioned before)

4. Possibly create things such as a daily discussion or topic for the people to talk about.

5. Create other things to help along RP, maybe a story or something if needed.

Which doesn't need a governmental position. The government can support such thing but thay doesn't mean we need an entire position. Citizens can do that as well.

Awwwww. You guys remember baby civ? At that time i liked to be called civilis:

Plugos proposal is invalid. His system demolishes The Lunar Council and Sentagon and implements ministers. The Ministers control their given type, [I]Without Checks And Balances and Since this region is largely democratic, wouldn't that be against? Maybe im interpreting this wrong, but my system implements the Ministry System While Keeping the Democratic atmosphere present by presenting Vetos, Check And Balances, and many positions open for the public to join, making a System I have patented Called a Federal Democratic Council. This is a mix between a Democracy, a Large Government while keeping the feel of our old government. Sure, Elections may take longer but Thats not a problem. The government will be efficient, alot more of the public will have a chance to be elected into a council and we will be able to get everyones ideas into a law if its widely popular.

In conclusion, I believe that you should vote for My proposal (The FDC aka. Federal Democratic Council) to continue to have a strong, efficient government and having alot of ideas glowing threw as well.

(Sorry if i repeated alot!XD)

Please Vote for my proposal!!:)

This goes without saying and applies to everyone.

Consider me, I think the position of Grand Duke is pointless, therefore I am unfit for it if awarded the position. The difference here is that most of the region seem to agree that the Grand Duke position is pointless and should be abolished, unlike the Minister of Culture whom only Civ thinks is pointless, whom by that statement demonstrates that he's unfit for the postion.

You tell me, is there something fundamentally wrong with my logic?

In Viv defence here we have never asked the question of do you think it's pointless or not to the region. He merely is the only one who has stated that it's pointless. I think it should be renamed to minister news which I think would be a more fitting title

The logic you have presented is, from what i see, a statement that can i can see. But i want to be awarded the position so that i can regulate, transfer, and guide the people whom will be taking on the duties. Looks like i have more than one persons support, right?

Thanks for presenting your concerns, i was very happy to respond. If there is any more just tell me. :)

Actually, no. I totally forgot.

No it should not be focused on news. The postion main duty is to get people active and engaged, and also making sure the WFE info is up to date. This can be done by publishing news articles, creating RP's, starting discussions... just whatever gets the region engaged. News is only one component to do so.

Consider the list made out by Bar:

1. Make a list of religions (if invented) that can contribute to RP and other aspects of the region if deemed necessary

2. Help the Domestic Minister in things such as the making of Political Parties. The Domestic Minister has a lot of responsibility within the council as they have to deal with things such as the RMB, votes, politics, etc. and that can add up.

3. Help with the making of the newspaper (that has already been mentioned before)

4. Possibly create things such as a daily discussion or topic for the people to talk about.

5. Create other things to help along RP, maybe a story or something if needed.

It's a great list of activities that can keep the region engaged, and news is part of it, but it doesn't have to be all of it.

Well to me it seems that you want to relegate the WHOLE cycle of responsibilities onto others. That's wrong. As I said before, by definition the bulk of the activity is handled by the entire group, but there must be 1 person who begins the spark, someone to START the cycle every time, because the cycle doesn't rotate perpetually. That's the job of the Minister of Culture: to give the initial push every time it's needed.

I understand that. That doesnt require a government position though.
