As I was away most of yesterday and half of Friday due to being sick, I was mainly staying in bed, so I'm going to catch up a bit on this since I didn't get a chance to respond.
Here's my input to the debate about transparency etc, mainly pointed at Gov;
When I joined the region, I had a lot of clashes with Wintermoot and others about how this place is run, especially after getting elected to the Underhusen. I pretty much felt the same way you do now, from what I can tell - that as citizens with representation you have the right to demand and question.
The truth is you do, but not entirely. Mootles is the Monarch, and in the context of NS that extends far further than it does in real life. He set everything up, he runs everything, he is invested in pretty much every aspect of the region. Sure this might be seen as a bad thing, but he's never once demonstrated anything other than sound, reasoned thinking in how he does things, and what your right to demand and question extends to is help inform him of how the region feels.
Ministers are obviously risen members of the citizenry as well, playing a big role in how things are done. But when it comes down to it it's Mootles making the call. And fuck, it actually works pretty damn well.
I'm pretty high so this might not make much sense
You did make sense for the most part. However, the point you missed is that there are things that I have felt he has done that I felt were under the table, that I felt I had a duty to call him out on, no matter how unpopular that may have been. Doing the right thing may not always be the popular thing.
Well, don't I feel honoured! My first two negative karma ever in Wintreath and they came from the one and only Govindia. It truly is a great time to be alive.
In all seriousness, no hard feelings about it Gov, I'm just bitter about a lot of not NS related things today.
You've been a bit bitter about things a lot lately on non-NS related matters it seems, and you've taken it out on me, from this thread, and elsewhere earlier last we talked. Maybe something else is going on?
I'm pretty high so this might not make much sense
Well, your highness (see what I did there? ) should revive his nation and reapply for Citizenship!
As I have already told Gov, there will be an announcement regarding all the changes in the Cabinet once the Cabinet review is complete. That may not be an answer he's happy with, but it's the answer nonetheless. That's all I have to say, I'm not going to be a party to dragging this out any longer.
You promised me that you'd stop being passive-aggresive and that you would communicate better. You need to keep on that and keep to that commitment. You didn't say anything about a review until I asked about the appointments. This argument wouldn't have started had you not passively-aggressively attacked me and condoned people disrespecting me and people personally attacking me instead of becoming transparent, accountable, and communicative to people, instead of attacking me for questioning you and others. You, Dawsinian, and Amalya have only yourselves to blame.
I expect better of you and I expect you all, including you Wintermoot, to behave and act better. I will look forward to your review results, and the announcements as per my kind request, once your review of the Riksrad is complete. That is all I will say further in this thread.
