  • My apologies for not posting this sooner.  Things have been a bit hectic since my job situation abruptly changed, through no fault of my own :(

    Hello everyone, I am finally going to run for the Underhusen again.

    I bring experience as someone in NS governmental affairs at various levels.  I have served as a legislator elsewhere and I can bring my legislative skills here. 

    Not just by writing legislation, but also voting on what's sensible and practical with the region, and standing firm on principles.

    I may be new to the region as I've not been in the Overhusen, Underhusen, or Riksrad, but I am not new to NS. 

    I hope that my veteran years of experience will definitely help.

    I will now take questions.

  • You may have the experience as a legislator but your reputation for delaying things is alarming. Do you possess any other qualities that can help convince the voters to trust and vote for you?

    When I focus on a task, I am very detail orientated and meticulous.  I believe details matter when it comes to documentation, including legislation.  I'm an engineer, so a lot of the traits I have as an engineer can come to the table as a legislator.  I will scrutinise all legislation down the finest detail.  I am reasonable enough to compromise on ideas that go with the current and seem practical.  When I'm given a task and a deadline, I will follow through on it to the best of my abilities. 

    This is something I do care about, and that's why I am finally running.  You guys are right now, one of the few, if any NS family I have, and given my personal situation, I do not intend to let down my family.  YOu guys have been there for me, for Frito, and I am now returning the favour.

    'Finally running'? Interesting choice of words.

    Are we to wait as long for a piece of legislation from you as we have been waiting for either your nation RP, or even your Orendi interview? Given your history of expressing interest in government positions here in Wintreath, only to pull out a short time later or ask for extensions, how can the electorate be sure you will be able to focus on your commitment to the Underhusen?

    Furthermore, if you are elected to the Underhusen, are we to expect work that is the same quality as your 'The Contenders' work, while pursuing a position in the Riksrâd?

  • 1. No you guys won't.   I understand the UH will essentially be on a stricter time frame and I will adjust accordingly.

    2. The delay in the Orendi interview mainly is due to lack of time to get a proper interview done and Polaris got busy.  Hopefully this will happen soon with Stacky.

    3. When I am tasked with something and given a strict deadline IRL, I focus all my attention to it unless multi-tasking, where I then focus based on priority.

    4. What happened when I was a Contender was unfortunate and it is a lesson learned, and hopefully something I don't repeat in terms of mistakes.

    By the way, you won that Haiku Contest :)

    Also I appreciate the manner in how you are questioning us.  Thank you.

    Hi Sapphiron, I'm terribly sorry I missed this question.

    One thing I saw that's missing in the laws is that while there are a fair bit of freedoms citizens are allowed, there are a few things that need improved.  Namely, that bills of attainder and ex post facto laws should not be allowed in Wintreath, but there is no provision for that, and I feel that protections from such laws should be put in place because that is a gaping loophole that could be open to abuse. 

    I hope this answers your question.

    Until voting ends, I will take any additional questions that people may have?  If you haven't voted yet, please do so!

    Vote Govindia for a strong and active Underhusen!
