WS for Prime Minister! |
WS 4 PM: A competent, dependable, proven leader
Do you ever feel like a misfit? Everything inside you is dark and twisted Oh, but it's okay to be different 'Cause baby, so am I A couple of months ago, if you had told me I was going to run for Prime Minister in June, I would have told you you’re crazy. My RL is too weird, there’s too much unknown, not gonna happen. PM is way over my head. I still think this is way over my head, but in hindsight that might just be exactly why I jumped in. I now know more things. And I pretty much have you all to thank (as usual) for the decision to try something new and possibly insane. Chats in legislators-lounge and in DMs have led me to conclude that yes, this is in fact less insane than I thought it might be. So I, Witchcraft and Sorcery, am here today to ask for your vote to be the next Prime Minister of the Coalition of the South Pacific. If you don’t know much about my history, the sparknotes version is that I’ve been playing since early 2013 and spent all my time until March 2017 in 10000 Islands, where I served three terms as a Senator, about two years as University Dean, and a year as TITO Tactical Officer. I resigned from TITO in 2017 and went to the Grey Wardens, where I was a Constable, and joined the Coalition in May or June of that year. Aside from a couple longer periods of leave, I’ve been an active member of TSP since then. I was MoMA in the summer of 2019 before having to step down for medical and personal reasons, and I’ve had the pleasure of serving a full term as Minister of Defense since February. I’m also a member of the Legislator Committee. I’m running for Prime Minister not because I have a novel idea that I think is going to shake up the government or Coalition for the better, but because I am a highly competent, multi-skilled, accessible, and friendly person with a proven record of leadership. Though I’m not at the top of NS or even TSP in any one area, I’m involved in and knowledgeable about many. In my mind, that makes me an excellent fit for the role of Prime Minister. HumanSanity said it quite well (quote used with his permission): Quote:From my perspective, you're very active in the community on-the-ground (i.e. you're actually in the chat a good amount), which is important in assessing strengths/weaknesses of each area and also how it all works together, and makes you uniquely suited to Cabinet-wide agenda setting and coordination. You're good at being adaptable to the needs of others while also keeping them on track, which is well suited to helping others achieve their goals. The Prime Minister is often referred to as the glue that holds the rest of the Cabinet together. I’m the type of leader who prefers to be the boots on the ground, putting my head down and getting the job done rather than talking a big game and doing little. Anyone who has worked with me in military gameplay can confirm this. I care little for drama or needless beating around the bush - instead, my goal as PM is to meet the rest of the Cabinet and Assembly where they are, ask what they need from me to ensure that their jobs get done, and have something to show for it at the end of the day. That model has worked well with the SPSF: under my leadership, we’ve gone from sleepy to regaining our status as one of the most active, reliable, and highly-trained defender organizations today. We’ve trained some of the brightest new talent in the business as well as recruited several of the best “free agent” defenders to our ranks in my four months as Minister. As Prime Minister my goal is to bring that same energy, dependability, and accountability to the leadership of the Executive and in representing our interests at home and abroad. I’m going to divide up the remainder of this campaign, which will largely focus on my policy agenda, into two sections - internal and external. I fully intend on keeping PM Glen’s model with the Regional Affairs and Foreign Affairs Councils. This was an effective way to compartmentalize tasks from an internal cabinet perspective and I think it will work well going forward. Internal Affairs My priorities for internal affairs have a lot to do with consistent, achievable goals and production. Glen started to work on this in his term, but I really want to take a crack at it and help set a sturdy foundation that future administrations can build on. Consistent activity and updates will go a long way.
There are a few specific, concrete things I’d like to see from the home ministries:
External/Foreign Affairs
This has been way longer than I intended. I hope that I’ve explained everything clearly and I am of course open to any and all questions. While I’m not running to shake things up dramatically, my administration will bring accountability, dependability, and transparency to the Executive and I’ll be a leader who meets people where they are. I’m looking forward to a competitive election season and I hope I’ll earn your vote for Prime Minister! Viva TSP! WS COI DECLARATION (READ CAREFULLY PLEASE) I am currently Minister of Defense, Commander of the SPSF, and Member of the Legislator Committee in TSP. Outside of TSP I am a citizen of the Rejected Realms (as Misery Business ) and Founderless (as Velvet Elvis ). I also have a long history of involvement with 10000 Islands; though I currently do not hold citizenship I do have access to some TITO areas as an allied military commander. I am also a forum and discord administrator in Founderless, and while I have held the CoI-eligible position of Executive Director for the last four months, I announced my resignation from that position effective yesterday, June 4th. Founderless is undergoing a restructuring and has essentially put its government on pause to focus on its social community. At no point will I hold any position that constitutes a conflict of interest with the role of Prime Minister. My first priority is, was, and will continue to be the Coalition of the South Pacific. I currently maintain in the ballpark of eight hundred active nations: a full list can be provided to the CRS on request. Most are for card farming purposes though a few cannot be disclosed publicly for security purposes. Witchcraft and Sorcery Former Prime Minister and Minister of Defense. Formerly many things in other regions. Defender. Ideologue. he/they.
