For weeks, no for months, since I really discovered myself in Atlasia (probably sometime in like November 2016 I'd say) I've never really felt right. Holding offices was fun and all but it was tedious and didn't really feel right and while running for things and running things is fun, It left me with not a lot to do, I am not good at writing bills and while I did write a few bills, the main reason I resigned was once again, I suck at writing bills, felt like I was doing a disservice to the game by now, etc.

What I am good at doing....is forecasting and reporting on weather and reporting on natural disasters as I guess people in #southernchat and those on my facebook can probably confirm. So what I want to do if possible is start up the National Weather Service (or something to that degree) of Atlasia, which would report on and forecast weather events and possibly natural disasters in Atlasia and possibly around the world. This would of course need confirmation from the GM, but I'm hoping it works out as this is the one thing that would absolutely not bore or tire me. Just a uh, rant or revelation of my present plans I guess. Carry on.

Not at this point.....but I'd try to course correct and have it be similar in cases where I know extreme weather is going to occur. That being said, if a hurricane season were to be quiet, I may generate a couple of hurricanes to keep things going, or if the weather is quiet IRL this could change easily in-game.

This is one of those things where I'm assuming we already have the position, in effect. We changed the positions pre-reset and then again I believe in the reset, so I'm not sure what they're called anymore - or if they even exist. It used to be GM, SoIA (Secretary of Internal Affairs; story-telling domestically) and SoEA (Secretary of External Affairs; story-telling internationally). All stories fell under the purview of the GM and could even be dismissed by the GM if the SoIA/SoEA got too crazy.

Anywho, assuming these positions or some variants still exist, the creation of additional offices (whether elected or unelected, but especially unelected) rarely works out over the long-term. It's not just about creating a position for somebody who demonstrates interest and capability in the here and now, but extrapolating that and being able to guarantee that there's always going to be somebody who's willing and able to fill the roles in the future. Otherwise, you end up with a situation like we've had at multiple times in the past where cabinet roles and other positions remain vacant and/or underutilized as a result.

Yeah, I thought about that which is why I don't want to create a new position. What I basically want to do is serve under the GM in this respect, if someone didn't want to do some kind of weather only role it could easily just be taken up by the GM again (this is GM job btw post-reset)
