Should Wintreath consider embracing official faith or faiths? Perhaps it's the opposite that should be enforced?No
Should Wintreath establish an official currency? How could it be integrated to the daily ongoings? Why?Yes. I have given ideas for potential integration points, such as getting an amount per X amount of posts and having things like certain areas cost currency as a meaningful sink. Things like the adult area. However the exact implementation should be up to the Administration.
What makes a good skrifa, what makes you think you would be a good fit for such a position?I know our laws inside and out, for the most part. I helped write a good portion of them or gave advice on those laws. I've served many sessions in the Underhusen.
Point out an unresolved issue that either divides the people or completely disbenefits the public. Why hasn't it been solved? How will you solve it?The current Judicial setup. Let me explain, our current judicial setup doesn't allow the complainant to actually argue their cases in front of the Judges, they must instead be called as a Witness. Further the Defendant can't actually call Witness, it is up to the Court Officers (the Judges). This leads to cases where the Defense may want to call someone as a Witness, but the Court Officers refuse to call them as such. Meaning said person can not actually be asked any questions. Further it prevents the Defense from actually posing any questions to the Witness as well. This can lead to cases where either the Defense is unable to make their point as well as they could have, and undermine their defense, or make the Complainant unable to actually prove their case, aside from their evidence should they never be called as Witness. This disbenefits the public by making it legally possible to have trials that are a bit one-sided, BUT are legally considered 'fair'. There are also numerous oddities with our current procedure and legal system.
You open your eyes, light is scarce but you can tell the ceiling has changed. You hear someone take a gruff breath. Something is wrong, you're not at home. You turn your head, slowly, the room appears empty. You're tied down. Window above your head portrays dark'n'mellow sky of a clear night. What's going on?Huh?
You're finally awake, harshly deep voice begins. Good, we must begin. You feel the vibrations in the air as he speaks. Your heart rate starts to climb. Unbeknownst to you, the public has been polled and their collective preferences compiled. Your task is simple, give the right answers and walk out. You only get one shot per question.AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
First question, worth two fingers and one toe. For ages Wintreans have glazed at a godless sky, wondering, cursing their misfortunes. Some have searched for the answers alone, found their false comforts from sacks of potatoes or faithful servitude to fellow men.I support the establishment of the Holy Potatoe as an official faith. Secularism should also be enforced, however (any recognition should be more cultural/symbolic than anything else).

Second question, worth six toes and a thumb. When times are tough and crops drop dead like an icicle that shatters after falling to your head, it is hard to count your wealth, even harder to determine how envious you ought to be to your neighbor. Misery needs to be redesigned.I don't see the point, but if anyone with a currency plan gives a compelling reason to do so, I would definitely support it. However, I will oppose any currency plans that seem to have no actual use, or actively harm the forum community (eg: pay-to-play style currencies).

Third question, worth an ear and an eye. Wintreath has seen all kinds of skrifas, some good and some so poor they had to be wiped from our records. They demand more, they demand better.Anyone, new or old, has the potential to become a great Skrifa. The Underhusen represents the people, and as such we need a diverse set of people to have a good Underhusen.
What makes a good skrifa, what makes you think you would be a good fit for such a position?
Fourth question, worth a tongue. Mobs don't discuss, they mob. When they gather, archives are burn, lives lost and stockpiles of vodka consumed. They are not productive, so you must foresee such public bursts of rage and prevent them.IMO, there aren't many problems with Wintreath at the current time, but one thing that's on the current Underhusen's agenda that we haven't gotten around to yet is another amendment of the Procedural Rules regarding the editing of Underhusen proposals.

Good, now the fun part begins. You knew the stakes, you know what's waiting for you.Please don't hurt me, I have a family, I have so much to live for, please, please....
You feel your bed shift as a tall man slides from under it. He stands up and lifts the side his heavy trench coat to grab something from underneath, it's a wet bag, stinks like blood. Not a knife, a confused relief stings you. He opens the bag and empties it on your stomach, it contained less than fresh body parts from what you assume was once an ape. Even the fingers are unbelievably hairy.
It's dinner time.

That still falls on the OA versus changes to the UH/OH system. It hasn't been solved because there's really no proper way to actually "solve" it aside from showing the good parts from either side. Though it's less divided the people these days as it's just something that's become a bit sour of a topic for some...but it's still something I'd like to see resolved in the realm of an OA that at least most people can actually agree on and go with...rather than this "We want but we don't know..." type of flip-floppery that's been the main grip.

Should Wintreath consider embracing official faith or faiths? Perhaps it's the opposite that should be enforced?Yeah, and I feel that fun fake religions could be fun, such as Crushita's potato thing. (I should be the math god. Anyone with that religion? :P Tau could be my assistant)
Should Wintreath establish an official currency? How could it be integrated to the daily ongoings? Why?I do think there should be a Wintrean official currency. I've heard lots of great ideas, and I think I've figured out what I want to do with it: I think currency should be given out for participating in games such as werewolf and for posting. I'm still not sure what it will be spent on, but one idea I like is for buying art or writing by other members of the community. I feel that this should be implemented in the forums because it would add a fun, cool layer to the forum.
What makes a good skrifa, what makes you think you would be a good fit for such a position?A good skrifa is someone who knows the community well and can easily interact with it. A good skrifa understands how Wintreath works and enough to do their duties as skrifa. I think I would be a good skrifa because I have gotten to know the community and I have been active in the forums and IRC chat. I've made over 350 posts in my short time here. I also have credentials as stated in my signature:
Point out an unresolved issue that either divides the people or completely disbenefits the public. Why hasn't it been solved? How will you solve it?I can't really think of many large issues that have had much discussion, other than maybe what to do for the currency implementation. And I would solve this as stated above. The only other issue I could think of is the double like issue, but that doesn't really affect the region as a whole.
Yeah, and I feel that fun fake religions could be fun, such as Crushita's potato thing. (I should be the math god. Anyone with that religion? :P Tau could be my assistant)You dare call the Holy Spud fake‽ Burn him at the stake! :D
I'll give you two pies of you don't :PYeah, and I feel that fun fake religions could be fun, such as Crushita's potato thing. (I should be the math god. Anyone with that religion? :P Tau could be my assistant)You dare call the Holy Spud fake‽ Burn him at the stake! :D
So what Mathy is basically saying is "Join the anti-potatoes, we have pie." :PI'll give you two pies of you don't :PYeah, and I feel that fun fake religions could be fun, such as Crushita's potato thing.

Should Wintreath consider embracing official faith or faiths? Perhaps it's the opposite that should be enforced?Of course, the Potato is the One and Only God, it is my duty as the Potato Pope to show the light of the Holy Starch Above to the masses, and it is our duty as a holy and righteous government to help!
Should Wintreath establish an official currency? How could it be integrated to the daily ongoings? Why?I don't feel like it would be worth it. It doesn't feel like it would help the community, it just seems like a gimmick
What makes a good skrifa, what makes you think you would be a good fit for such a position?A good skifra is a person who can and knows how to strike debate and negotiate with people. One who is willing to change their position but can hold to their values. I've had plenty of experience with this when I was in Ainur, though I don't feel like writing a giant rambling post, so I will spare you the details, but to say the least, being King is hard work :P
