1) Why are you running for this position?Because I love Werewolf, and have ever since I first introduced it to Wintreath. I want to continue to see it succeed, and would love to continue thinking of ways to innovate and make the game even more interesting.
2) What do you aim to accomplish as thane? As part of this, you must include at least one thing that you promise to do beyond the minimum listed duties of the position during your term. It should be measurable, so that it's black and white whether you fulfilled this mandate at the end of the term if you are elected.Well, aside from continually hosting and helping others with setting up their games, I'd still like to accomplish somehow integrating Werewolf into Discord, as I think it'd be fun to start holding mini-games in a much quicker, fast-paced setting. But my main goal is to continue to come up with and introduce games to keep bringing people to Wintreath.
Speaking of innovations, want a hint of what's coming? I'll do you one better, here's 2:
1. Keep up, because
time may not be on your side...
2. Is it just me, or is someone a little too good with their
multiplication?
2a) If you are an incumbent running for re-election, did you fulfill your mandate from the September November/December February election? If not, why didn't you?Alas, I actually didn't really get the chance to fulfill my discord promise just yet, as that's an ongoing idea that I'm still trying to work the kinks out for. As for Werewolf 20, the game hasn't happened yet as we're just getting ready to start 18 (which unfortunately ran into a little delay and host-change). But I'm definitely still working on keeping Werewolf alive and relevant.
3) What qualifications or experience do you have in the area that you are running in?To quote what I wrote last time:
Hosted at least half of the games on Wintreath as of writing this, played in a majority of the games not hosted. Likewise, I've also participated in almost 30 games elsewhere in 10000 Islands as well, both hosting and running. Back in 2014, I also established 10KI's Werewolf of Past, Present and Future thread which acts as a guidepost to link people to past games, current games, and build interest for hosts and ideas for future games, and is still active to this day with hosts claiming future games. I've also acted as Thane of Werewolf I believe twice now previously, and was Jarl of Culture previously before Gerrick, focusing mainly on regional games including Werewolf.
4) How do you plan to have the time to fulfill the duties of the position until the next election in September? How will you commit specific time to the position?I'm normally off work by 5PM at the latest, and I should have plenty of time to check on the Werewolf forum, see how the current game is going, and update/add any relevant threads that pop up. It's rather easy for me to commit at least an hour a day to the Thaneship since work/life has been much less stressful.
5) The Summer Cabinet is the Cabinet that plans our annual Summersend Festival, which takes place in late August. What will you bring to the table in our planning for the next festival?Werewolf, Werewolf, and more werewolf. Remember that one festival where we had 3 short Werewolf games running? Yeah, I plan on bringing that back. I think they were a big hit for short games last time they were introduced, so I'm going to throw them back in the ring for another go.
6) Are you currently a part of any other NationStates regional or organizational government? If so, please include those regions and positions.Currently I'm the Official Cartographer for 10000 Islands, though admittedly I may have been shirking my duties over there just a bit and putting more emphasis on my time in Wintreath, since Wintreath is more of my home.
