[nation=short]Alistia[/nation] do you really need it pinned in WFE? To prevent crowding we should keep the WFE for current news and all purpose dispatches that everyone needs access to.

I'll remove the dispatch (if lemon doesn't beat me) once I put in in the govt page or forest puts it in the regional info center [nation=short]mugwop[/nation].

This is a win for democracy and the preservation of Judaical Authority

[B]Role Play[/B]

Statement from Governor Maximus

"This is a great day for the region of The Mystical Council, we have taken a step in ensuring that not only is our Judaical Authority maintained but also that our government isn't faced with unnecessary bureaucracy. However, whilst this is a small victory it still doesn't mean we should become complacent. There is a lot of work to bring this region back to its former glory and again i am committed to ensure that is achieved. I have already said that we are running for delegate and i firmly believe that it wont be till a new delegate is chosen, well we see real change within this fine region"

Rondaland is valid, both him and chingis proved their situation Many times before, so looks like the vote is a 7-7 tie.

When someone has a chance pin this https://www.nationstates.net/nation=alistia/detail=factbook/id=821992 and make a poll out of it.

Well that pie chart doesn't belong there because it's not something that everyone needs to check often. It's RP stats. As Bacon said, Forest should put it in the Regional Info Center.

Pinned dispatches should be the goverment page, news, and temporary things the region needs to review before voting on like the flag dispatch you made; just to prevent overcrowding and having +10 dispatches and a complete mess.

Speaking of which, I propose we keep the flag dispatch until the 19th, wait to see if anyone suggests other ideas, and on that Friday we can make the flag poll.

I'll have a box

Okay people I need more input on Article 9

9. In the event that only 1 person is running for office, then this person would be the default candidate winner. However, before assuming the office, the candidate must be approved by 2 out of the 3 executive heads of goverment: WA Delegate, Prime Minister, and Judicial President. Any executive head who disapproves of the candidate, must give a reasonable argument as to why they don't find the default candidate suitable for office.

Public Opinions on Article 9:

Mugwop wrote:I was thinking (and I will include this if people approve) the candidate poll would be re-held, but for only 2 days (as to not push other elections way off track)

If the same candidate and only that candidate is running, then again they are automatically rejected, unless the candidate meets the 2/3 quota.

If they don't meet the quota, then the candidate poll is held for 2 days, for the last time.

If we still get the same results, then it's obvious that the region is not intrested in that office position, and so the office would be suspended for the following term.

I know some would say what about a yes/no vote. However I don't think those are a good idea when it comes to elections. With just 1 point, people won't have a comparative reference.

Malcholm wrote:If the end result is that the same person is rejected twice, I would think that we shouldn't need to cycle through the same election a third time. If no one has stepped forward to run against them by the beginning second election, I think it's fair to conclude that the region has no interest in the ministry position at that point.

Its not rp stats.. Its regional influence stats, how much influence each person has, which is the main format war in nationstates happens... Can't believe you think influence is rp.. Didn't you used to raid?

Anyhow, it relates to a vote that will be coming up soon, so please pin it for god sakes.

It's RP in the sense that regional influence is meaningless in our region beyond playing pretend, unless a disaster happens and we need to refound, then regional influence becomes a very real thing here.

Also what is the poll you are talking about? Share that with us and if the pie chart is somehow relevant data on how people vote, then yeah sure it should be pinned. Either way, such dispatches that people need to review before voting, should only be up for a week max before a poll is setup. It should not be up indefinitely. This is what we used to have before: a WFE crowded with so many dispatches that it had become a mess. We shouldn't have that again.

Also I am not postponing the flag poll for the the sake of postponing things. Remember what happened last time? I gave people a week and still after the deadline people has submissions. That is why I am postponing the poll until next Friday, to see if there's more submissions. However, if one of the department heads thinks it is essential that we do this ASAP and not wait for anymore submissions, then I don't mind setting up the poll now.

I think it may be good, I mean our last foreign minister got impeached for inactivity, and the domestic minister does little besides poll making.

Influence would be the main factor to defend against raiders though, and he is defense minister so it would be very important.

Yep, I sure do nothing around here. You're so right about that.

Illfated wrote:Influence would be the main factor to defend against raiders though, and he is defense minister so it would be very important.

Not really, in the many attempts that other regions in the past tag raided us, never did our influence play a major role in the matter. I grant you that if we were founderless, then that would an entirely different story.

Viva Italia wrote:Domestic and foreign don't need to merge.Why are we even having a poll about it?

I agree with this.... both have clear set roles, and merging them together would impact on the quality of work that can be achieved. Not to mention that we would be reducing the officer in the region. Now I would be more willing to say merge the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Defence. As let's face it unless there is an invasion the MD does little to nothing that can seen, they certainly haven't been doing what I think they should be. Such as training for members encase we are invaded. Contingency plans encase the founder CTE, forming closer relations with our allied regions (embassy regions) so that we can get aid in if needed, etc.

So merging those two departments would make sense. Though again doing so would reduce our officer number which wouldn't necessarily be a good thing.

Yeah actually this makes more sense. Defense and Foreign affairs merged starting next election cycle. I can create a poll for that next week, till then we can discuss the logistics of it.

Meh.

One focus's on foreign relations, one focus's on regional defense. That seems like a lot of stuff for one person to handle, and they both have clear cut duties that don't correlate enough to each other to merge the positions.

I agree that more people should be trained, but I know immortal Elysium did receive training and worked with TWPAF, and in all the recruiting attempts iv'e seen in my whole lifetime in the region (by bacon, lemon, civ, alistia, etc) little people have actually wanted to receive training or work in military activities.

Just a suggestion. Though the position could be opened to two or more people to get the job done so to speak. A bit like the judical council thing if that makes sense.

It is the best idea so far. The minister of defense already has all the office powers pertaining to the minister of foreign affairs.

I don't understand what you mean by separate people to do it. If foreign and defense are merged the new position will be 1 ministry with 1 person overseeing it.

It may have the physical power of embassies, but no where in the description does it say to manage all foreign affairs and embassies.

Illfated wrote:lol yeah why merge the position if multiple people are gonna do it.

Well of course; no other ministry postion now beside the office of the minister of foreign affairs says they must manage all foreign affairs and embassies, because right now the potions are not merged. After they are merged however then the title and duty responsibilities will be changed to reflect that.

Okay so obviously there will be a poll on whether the office position is merged, but the question is [B]should the office merger be between Minister of Domestic Affairs and Minister of Foreign Affairs or should the merger be between Minister of Defense and Minister of Foreign Affairs[/B]

Minister of Defense and Minister of Foreign Affairs office powers: Border Control, Communications, Embassies (all these powers are currently held by the Minister of Defense)

Minister of Domestic Affairs and Minister of Foreign Affairs office powers: Polls (currently Domestic exclusive), Communications, Embassies (currently Foreign exclusive)

Now due to us having elections this term, schedule will be tight, and there won't be time for both of these polls. So far It seems there are more people supporting a Minister of Defense and Minister of Foreign Affairs merger so this will be the poll, but if you disagree with this or agree please make yourself heard; [B]please voice yourself on the RMB about this ASAP.[/B]

So as a result of this, I have realized that we have to move things quickly:

1. [B]Flag Poll[/B]: The flag poll has to be done today, if not today then it has to be postponed until Sunday May 21. [nation=short]Malcholm[/nation], or anyone else, if I get your flag suggestion today then I can start the poll today. If we do it today the poll will run from May 13 - May 16 on TMC. (During that time period I want people to discuss ministry merger on RMB)

2. [B]May 17 - May 20[/B]

-We're gonna have scheduled Judicial Council seat candidacy on MC. This will be the seat of [nation=short]Civilisunio[/nation]

-Also we're gonna have the ministry merger poll, after discussing it on the RMB. This poll will be on TMC.

3. [B]May 21 - May 24[/B]

-We're gonna have the scheduled Judicial Council seat election on TMC.

-If we don't do the flag poll today (May 13) we do it here (May 21) on MC.

4. [B]May 25 - May 28[/B]

-3 Day candidacy poll for the office of Prime Minister on The Mystical Council

My suggestion of multiple came from the point raised by [nation=short]illfated[/nation] who pointed out quite rightly that one person doing two different jobs and taking over both sets of responsibilities could be too much work.

C: Abolish foreign affairs completely.

D: Leave it be.

also, foreign affairs should have polls to, weather it be merged with defense or left in existence.

Flag poll will be up today if I get something from [nation=short]Malcholm[/nation] before 12AM EST.

And yeah I guess we can setup the poll like that, though it will split up the vote. Okay so I think we can do it like that, until Wednesday I will be on the lookout on how people feel about the issue; if the question is merge vs no merge, then we will have to have a 1 option poll to not split the poll, and determine beforehand which is the most popular merge option. However, if people are mostly open to the idea of merging and the main question is which type, then we will have a 2 option poll because splitting the vote won't be a factor.

My submission is my current nation flag.

I just sent it to Alistia bc he had the whole list of suggestions. I'll send you a link to it too.

I'm not even sure its worth the effort if no one paid attention the four times it got posted on Discord and the RMB =.="

Sorry about that, I asked Alistia if your suggestion is on the list he made but I didn't get an answer.

Anyway, flag poll is made. The links are easiest to check out from the telegram I sent everyone. You can also check out the links from the poll by going to the "Voters" page and copying from there.

A [nation=short]new bacon[/nation] diplomat calls Governor Maximus on the Phone...

"Governor Maximus, that's quite a large number. When the regional flag changes, the Battle Guard's seal also changes in respect to the regional flag. It is costing the New Bacon Government money to keep making those things. Hopefully the almighty [nation=short]mugwop[/nation] will answer your cries and my cries soon. Now if you will excuse me Governor Maximus, I have to get back to watching Comrade Igor from [nation=short]gyuamno[/nation]. He won't leave my office!"

The previous flag poll,https://www.nationstates.net/page=poll/p=90768, explicitly outlined this http://i.imgur.com/qcK2rJD.jpg as the seal, independent of the flag itself which was this http://i.imgur.com/pLFzP0d.png (the current flag)

So the seal is not changing and you don't have to worry about that.

You mean the one that says, Seal of the Battle Guard 2016?

Well you're gonna have to change that anyway. Don't put a year on it even, or "seal of". Just "The Battle Guard"

Folks I'm gonna need you to direct me to where your WA nations are or join the WA on these nations so that I can confirm you on the Citizen Status Register https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=820739 I'm sorry if you have done this before, it's just that something have been lost recently and we need to reorganize.

[nation=short]exotic_lemon[/nation] is also non-WA but I know he's out to help a friend with defense stuff. If it's gonna take a long while though then Lemon please give me the name of your current WA nation.

If you can't join the WA, and you can't show where your current WA nation is, then ask Delegate [nation=short]Barishmacht[/nation], PM [nation=short]VIVA_ITALIA[/nation], and Judicial President [nation=short]Civilisunio[/nation] to vouch for you. If 2 of these 3 would personally confirm you, you don't need verification status (please don't ask me to confirm you myself; I don't have the authority; I am just following preset rules)

Speaking of Delegate [nation=short]Barishmacht[/nation], PM [nation=short]VIVA_ITALIA[/nation], and Judicial President [nation=short]Civilisunio[/nation], this is our list of unverified/non-citizen nations:

I can vouch for lemon since hes bout to be on a military expedition with me, Truxol showed previous evidence, Jeger is raiding, and Chingis was wa banned, may not be anymore but, and rondaland has some wa problem too saw a screenshot before. Moltavo is a real seperate person but haven't talked to him lately

No. Your WA doesn't have to be in the region, but every person has to have a WA in order to be in office or vote on anything, as per the Citizenship Bill.

And if you can't be in the WA, you need at least a couple department heads to verify you.

Great, do you remember who was the delegate for reference? (You can see from our regional history to figure out who was delegate in your time period https://www.nationstates.net/page=region_history/region=the_mystical_council)

Currently half verified:

[nation=short]Exotic Lemon[/nation], [nation=short]Chingis[/nation], [nation=short]Moltavo[/nation], and [nation=short]Rondaland[/nation]

[nation=short]The_Immortal_Elysium[/nation]: WA member by another nation ([nation=short]Niv Tan[/nation])

Half verified people: [nation=short]Chingis[/nation], [nation=short]Moltavo[/nation], and [nation=short]Rondaland[/nation]
