Too Long; Didn't ReadWhat can I do this week?
A Word from the Monarch
Nominations for Thane elections are now open!
Wintermoot serenades the Cabinet (I've really done this before).In Wintreath, Thanes are Vice-Ministers who work in under one of our Jarls (Ministers) and are in charge of a specific area that's part of the ministry. They're also part of our Cabinet, the Riksraad, and get to be in the room where it happens, the Discord Cabinet channel. Thanes are elected to seasonal three month terms (this election is for the Summer season). They can also be appointed be the Jarl in charge of the ministry if the position is vacant. The specific Thanedoms you can run for are:
Ministry of Culture
Thane of Gaming - Leads Wintreath's gaming community by discovering what people want to play, helping hosts put together video and Discord gaming events, and putting together tournaments and competitions.
Thane of Roleplay - Leads Wintreath's roleplay community as Grandmaster of our RP guild, the Rollspelskra, helps put together and participates in RPs and enforces RP rules and etiquette.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Thane of Embassies - Helps the Jarl make sure our embassies in other communities are manned with Winbassadors and investigates potential communities we could establish new partnerships in.
Thane of Foreign Releases - Puts together dispatches for our embassies in other communities and ensures that Winbassadors are posting them.
Ministry of Regional Affairs
Thane of Regional Affairs - Helps the Jarl moderate the NationStates RMB, welcomes and helps new (and old!) nations to the region, and runs regional polls.
Thane of World Assembly Affairs - Is the delegate of Wintreath to the NationStates World Assembly and encourages nations to participate in the body as well.
How do I nominate someone or stand for election?
Everyone that's nominated has to be a Citizen, and everyone that wins must be on our Discord chat server where Cabinet
battles discussions happen. If you're not a Citizen, check out the steps for becoming one in the Welcome Wagon section. Then make your nominations or stand for election
here! If you're standing for election, there are some questions in the topic that you will need to answer, too.
What then?
Once you stand for election, feel free to make a campaign topic in the Landsraad forum to discuss your platform further or for Citizens to ask questions. If there are any positions with more than one candidate, those elections will begin on June 1st, and winners will take office on June 7th.
Cabinet meetings. They're really like this! Kinda...I hope that you will consider running for election, especially if you are already serving in one of the branches of the Civil Service and you're ready to take the next step of becoming a leader of our community! You get the spiffy Cabinet role on the forums and Discord too, so that's something worth considering...
Stay frosty,
-Winter
