Big Bad Badger

What I really want to know is how to address a minister? Mr Minister? Minister? Reverend? Please advise!

I would like to run to be the Advocate of the Voice. If elected, I will work on three things while in office. 1. Increased offsite activity. I will work to increase activity through advertising, holding my DA's accountable, and increasing membership's participation in government. 2. As Advocate I will work with the Delegate and the Voice to clarify roles of the offsite government as well as the needs of TWP. I believe that the offsite government must work with the delegate to achieve their vision of the TWP. In game we have the ability to chose the delegate through endorsements. The offsite government must work with that choice. 3. If elected I will listen to the membership and assist the Voice to create ownership, interest, and activity! I have the time to commit to this service to TWP the region that I love! Vote for Badger! Actually I need my nomination seconded first...

I 2nd your nomination.

Good evening!

Amen! I feel like his name should never be uttered here again and he should be forgotten!

Welcome!

Not to be in DEN

Good work!

Is it possible to delete Russo's posts? I'm weary of seeing his name and icon on our forum.

I believe Westie has already taken care of this.

URA is a piece of shit scumbag!

TAO, you're right!

Thank you for the opportunity to serve TWP!

Today is a tough day. I hope tomorrow is better!

I am completely disgusted with the behavior and decorum of members of the old and new guard. If this is how we treat each other I'm appalled. We are better than this! Will the adults in the room, please take control of the situation and get our offsite government rolling. Lastly, will the children and various shit stirrers please take it to private message or TG! This sort of behavior will drive away every new person and many active members. Remember the goal is to create more activity in the offsite forum.

Cool! Nice to meet you.

Being a Wisconsin native I have to agree. My adopted state, Texas, has a really neat capitol too. The worst is definitely Bismark! No question!

Vlagh, in your opinion what can we do to increase activity?

In general or because of the lack of activity?

In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary, come again? I'm in!

I like these ideas better. But perhaps something less bureaucractic sounding. Here are some synonyms of guardian: attendant, baby-sitter, bird dog, cerberus, champion, chaperon, chaperone, conservator, cop, curator, custodian, defender, escort, guard, keeper, nurse, overseer, paladin, patrol, preserver, safeguard, sentinel, shepherd, sitter, sponsor, superintendent, supervisor, trustee, vigilante, warden, watchdog Maybe even different names for the different positions like: Warden of the military. Sentinel of standards, Preserver of Culture.

Ideas?

Agreed. Guardian as an in game position should have limited authority in the offsite government. Another idea to help with what Hari Addressed with the job being too big for one person. And it could help with temporary, announced inactivity due to RL. We could have a Lieutenant Governor to assist with the job and fill in when necessary.

I really like what I'm reading here. Great job all! One thing I feel should be defined is powers of the delegacy to dissolve the government. I feel there should be certain defined occasions where the delegacy can void the government. Very specific!

Russo, I've been with you all along trusting your decisions and discretion. You have a tough and at times thankless position that requires thought in avenues that most of us will never understand. And you've handled yourself with wisdom and honor. However, this role Vlagh is playing does not sound like something we would do in TWP. Its ominous and puts a spectre around our offsite government that quite frankly breeds distrust, secrecy, and puts people off in a way that was the very problem last week. I implore you to reconsider. A reset because you don't like the way things are going is not the response we need in TWP! We need open transparent decision making to put the people in position to be active participants in a flourishing government.
