What steps will you go through to integrate a new generation of Taiji's?
How will you save us from teh debts?
What are your total sum of achievements and what have you done for Taijitu in the past?
I believe I do well in a leadership position, because I understand that every great leader has not tried to run something by themselves. I plan to have an effective and intelligent cabinet, who will act first and foremost as my advisors, rather than some of our previous delegates who seemed to have...forgotten the exact use of such a cabinet in the first place.
Pragmatic. I think letting one's passions or emotions take control of you, especially in this sort of position that I am running for, is the height of folly. A delegate should ideally be both logical and compassionate, but no delegate has succeeded by overreacting at the slightest criticism.
We must focus on not only recruiting a new generation of Taijis, but keeping them - and perhaps I should admit that those 1000 nations we had at one point were not all completely active. We should focus on making this a welcoming and open community to all, as it was when Taijitu was first founded - and perhaps all this talk of "Taijitu's early days" sounds like waxing for the nostalgic old days, but I intend to take the good parts of the early days - the openness, the welcoming attitude - and add it to good parts of the newer days - the closeness, the feeling that every forum member knows one another, and the good old ribald humor that defines us as a region.
I partially went over this in my last answer, but again, I will focus on making Taijitu an open region, full of depth and things to do. I think that many people who join NS don't simply do it to pass the time, but also do it because of a genuine interest in politics. I want to encourage new Taijis to get into politics - join the Senate, get involved, and perhaps they'd even be delegate some day.
I'll solve the debts by selling my body.
I first joined the Lexicon before the split, and there I briefly served as minister of foreign affairs. I was involved with the split and Taijitu's original creation, and I'm a founder, though I realize that word means nothing here and has been a bit tainted by IP and Cathyy's memory. Here I acted as an advisor, officially and non-officially, for several delegates and was eventually elected to the office myself. I was involved with Eluvatar and Gulliver in resurrecting the region after our forums went down, though all three of us had minor roles compared to Wast and Bara. I also helped establish the Church of Pha and was present at every of the many reboots of our RP.
Hello Myro and good luck to you.
I have mainly one question to ask that comes with a bit of blah-blah so bear with me, please: if your primary campaign aim is that of leading Taijitu back to a growing NS community I think we are all aware that we need hard-working people and even more so than before since the game has been constantly declining for the last couple of years. And we need not only hard-working people but also a high degree of involvement in both game-mechanics game-play as well as RP, alongside a team of players willing to keep an enthusiastic forum going and perform the tasks we all know are needed. I miss the days when Taijitu was over 1 k too but I also think that unless we really mean and are willing to fight hard and do that again, we'd be better off setting realistic objectives and enjoying what's left of the game and our community. Could you please detail to me your plan of renaissance? Thank you.
Thank you for wishing me luck. And you make a good point PoD - how exactly are we going to make a region so active when NS itself has gotten a bit slow since a few years ago? And perhaps I wasn't completely clear in my first post - it was extremely hard to begin with, let alone now, to get over 1000 nations in a user-created region, and I understand that. But thanks to the efforts of Eluvatar especially, we can get recruiting in the region to the kind of levels it was at before, and, as I mentioned in one of the answers towards PUR, I will focus on making Taijitu an open and welcoming community to all who we get, and hopefully every new forum member will eventually have their own inside joke with someone here.
Are you planning to create a ceremonial Queen of Taijitu position and then appoint Boxxy for it?
Of course. But she's already the queen - nay, empress - of my heart.
