Nice for you to stop by to see my campaign. 

I'm happy that most of the people who read this campaign may actually know who I am. If you don't, I hope this election and term will change that.

After somehow making it to the cut and serving my first term in the Underhusen in December and being reelected in February, I have become much more involved in the Wintrean community, which I will say I am very part of. I think the most important thing for any member of an online community, regardless of position, is to meet new people and indulge in new activities. After engaging much more in the discussions of Discord, playing CAH on Zaphyr, serving as ambassador for Aerium and now India, joining the School of Roleplay to learn some valuable skills, and also becoming a participant in the Holidays act, I think that I have done the main job of a Skrifa this term. I also want to applaud the Government for their openness, and their welcoming attitudes, which continues to incentivize me to be active in the region.

Now for my proposals for the Underhusen and my goals for the next term...

I am glad to announce that as per my previous election promise, I have gotten the discussion of the recreation of the Hvitt Riddaral (I hope I spelt it right) into the Underhusen and I hope to get more results this term.

Engage in much more discussion with the citizens on the forum on NS to ask them directly what they would like to see.

I don't know where we are with a regional map for Wintreath, earlier last year I had attempted to make one and I though that the nation of Cote Azure was making one, so maybe revitalizing that initative and adding that to the constitution.

Continuing the discussion of clubs, and maybe I can start a group discussing some sci-fi stuff, may it be Doctor who or harry potter, like a fan club or maybe even a book club.

I think we have a steady amount of people in Wintreath and I've seen more new people joining, so I don't think we need any radical changes.

~~Though I know some of these ideas don't necessarily need legislative support to start, I think showing the community that Underhusen wants them to enjoy being in this region is important. Also, I think we need a way to continue to keep interest in Underhusen and the political system here in Wintreath. Before, (like in December), when only 5 people ran for office with no sort of competition or little enthusiasm, this showed that our political system was becoming less and less interesting. However, the February elections and March elections of the Thane were very competitive, and I think that continuing to try and create that environment by making Wintreath fun and transparent will continue to make Wintreath and the Underhusen successful.

I'm sorry for the long campaign, but I would like it if you VOTED for OGUNBIYI!!! for Underhusen.

 

Now... I still need to figure out how to make my Resume look like everyone elses...

- Wintreath Citizen since July 1, 2017
- Skrifa of Underhusen since December 2019
- Ambassador to India (March 2020)
- Former Ambassador to Aerium (February-March 2020)

Thank you for the interesting and thought out post, Ogunbiyi!

I do have a question for you - how would you go about achieving greater citizen involvement in our regional politics? What shape do you think this would take, and what is your ultimate goal with increasing member interest?

Thanks for replying,
I've heard a lot about your influence in Wintreath, so really nice that you took the time to reply.

In terms of achieving greater citizen involvement, I would try to engage with more of our members on our forum in the nation states forums

Maybe utilize the skills of our members by creating an area of our government that deals with promoting ideas (like a propaganda team in a regime but we don't need to use propaganda) and maybe continue to use the orendi more often. I think one of our Riksrad deal with things like media so we could just ask them.

My ultimate goal with increasing member interest is to create a thriving community in which we can discuss ideas, have to defend them and legitimize them, and get a much bigger pool of thoughts. There are a lot of great ideas out there, we just need to get the people who have them.

Once again, thanks for your questions and I look forward to working with you in Wintreath

Welcome to the campaign! Like Weissreich, I thought your post was very thoughtful, and I really liked that you showed how you've become more involved in the community. It's such an important thing, but now that I think about it, it's something that goes missing from most campaigns.

My question is a little off the wall...Wintreath is known for being a personable community, but of all the people running (besides Butter, who is new), I feel like I know you the least. If there's one thing you would want me and others in the region to know about you as the person behind the screen, what would it be?

Thanks for your interest, happy that you asked that. I think the things that describe me the most is really my diverse interests in reading and in so many topics and I just really like talking to friends, virtually and in real life, about affairs from Harry Potter to Doctor Who to Egyptian mythology to the history of the British empire to politics. I could probably engage in almost every discussion except for certain video games . I also am a really helpful and caring person, that may be hard to show behind my screen but thats really the backbone of my personality and my friendships.

Hope you got to learn a few things about me

Thank you for the response, Ogunbiyi! I like a lot of the suggestions you have put forward here.

As someone not hugely involved in the NS side of the region, I am appreciative of the proposal to try and involve those who maybe don't make it across to our forum in our daily life. I see this as an opportunity to bring even more members into the roleplay aspects I so love, and onto the Discord where we can get to know them too.

Do you have any particular idea on how to achieve this goal?

Thanks for the follow up question
I think a good way to do this is to bring the things that the users on the Forum is to introduce the things that they do on the NS forum, such as discussing the World Assembly things (Katie does a great job explaining her position as delegate) and maybe we can come up with more ideas with the members of the forum and the Underhusen.
Thanks
