On what do you base your perception that SPSF needs more members and leaders, especially considering that SPSF is something that you are, by your own admission, "not as knowledgeable about"?

This is in stark contrast with the promises made in your campaign. Why the change of heart post-election?

This is not true.

First, the themed festival is being handled by a group of people from MoFA and MoRA and has not made progress in a bit due to other obligations of the constituents. You yourself are part of that Group DM.

Second, the proscriptions are being dealt with by the Cabinet in cooperation with myself, not the FA ministry. Once again, You yourself are part of that Group DM.

Why are you lying to your prospective constituents?

Wow, you're really giving me the business.

Im going to give you the benefit of the doubt and address the concerns you brought up here, instead of assuming that your opinion is immovable and the intent of these questions is to delegitimize myself or my campaign.

Concern #1. I base my perception that the Ministry of the Military needs new participants and leaders on the fact that the only people I am 100% sure are in the Regional Military are yourself and Somy. (Also I generally believe that every part of this government can use some updating from time to time, including new participants and leaders, I dont believe the Military to be an exception.)

Concern #2. There was a difference in what I expected the office to be like and how it is. I admit that I over estimated how fast I could get the ball rolling on the projects I wanted to come to fruition. Overall I took a pretty similar stance to how I figured I would approach Events as a division in my campaign thread.

Concern #3. This one is quite hostile and feels like a gotcha moment, but I am going to address your concern as a show of good will extended to you. Overall the statement I made is accurate, as that is as far as I can tell what is currently happening in the MoFA. There is some MoFA stuff that has caught my attention since this question was asked and answered, and while I am not sure how much I am legally allowed to say I hope that a vauge description is kosher: It seems they are currently working on establishing formal diplomatic relations with a gcr. (It also appears that the MoFA has also been in contact with TWP working towards the goal of improved relations). I also dont like the accusation of lying, that shit hurted.

Roavin I took a hostile tone in these responses to show that I am upset with the hostile manner of questioning you have been engaged in, but I did awnser as a measure of good will. I hope that you find these responses to your satisfaction, and I hope you have a good day.

If you're looking for a cushy leadership job, TSP is not your best bet. In fact, its probably one of your worst options...

If you have no actual knowledge of how a ministry functions outside of the written law, I'd suggest you join those ministries in some capacity before you try to essentially be their boss. The PM job is more about leading with knowledge than by leadership. 4 or 5 weeks as a Minister is not exactly the resume of a future PM.

I'm not looking for a cushy leadership position.

I do however know that my credentials aren't a long list, but I would like to promise that regardless of the result of this or any election, I will be continuing my foucus on this region and my goals of improving it and my goals of integration.

Okay, SPSF should inform the region more. Fair enough. But you stated it as a matter of fact rather than a perception. You can see why that's an issue, right?

So ... why not be honest about it and say that in the first place? I don't even mean say it outright in your campaign. Of course that's gonna be flowery. But in response to questions by your prospective constituents, why not outright give that answer if it's the truth?

Seriously, anybody that has been in the Cabinet can absolutely symphatize. My first Cabinet term was in RA, that was absolutely awful as anyone from then will remember.

What are your policies when it comes to the World Assembly?

Follow up question 2. It is honestly both. I both had the belief that I should be more reserved in my approach as I was filling in the remainder of a term, and the issue of expectations was a factor.

(I decline to comment on your first question because it's rhetorical. Both my statement you have issue with and your question are rhetorical)

The world assembly is something that is an integral part of the game itself. I would like for participation by individuals to increase, and participation by the region to increase. Overall yourself and the delegate are the main WA people I notice, so I figure my approach will feature a lot of advice and thoughts from you guys, aside from my general gamewide integration concerns.

**Amerion** · 10-10-2018, 05:19 AM

To clarify, you have no specific policy in regards to the WA and you intend to take a backseat approach to others efforts on the institution?

The delegate is the leader in regards to the WA, I will follow their directive. My own policy and goals include increased participation in the WA and efforts pertaining to Integration in relation to the WA.
