Fritz/Kalwejt for Atlasia

[tmthforu94]

Your plan is certainly interesting...

The thing is, I think anytime there's a new member on the site, the parties closest to that person politically are recruiting them. And all of the older members who aren't part of Atlasia know very well about it, but chose not to. Would you be suggesting that we recruit members from other fantasy government boards?

[tmthforu94]

The idea is that they would become the driving force of the game, generating multiple news stories each day that the government would need to react to. You'd have multiple people so that no one person can become "too busy" to do it for a particular stretch of a few days, and as well, to provide balance politically so that stories do not become too biased towards one or the other side.

That's one of the most intelligent idea's you've ever had, Teddy. We'd have to have people committed to it, of course, for it to be a success though.

I was hoping to see some people retained from the PS administration, but oh well.

Yeah, I probably would have liked to see Ben Constine stay on as SOEA, but Hashemite is a wonderful choice nonetheless.

Yeah, me too. Ben's done a good job, but I guess they have other plans.

I was hoping for that too....

As was I. It's somewhat disappointing that there seems to be a lack of bi-partisanship in this cabinet. Not one person on this cabinet voted against Fritz/Kalwejt.

I'm fairly sure that our cabinet ended up being the same, at first. Not intentionally, of course, but that's just the way it ended up.

Your administration at least had a couple of moderate voices, and they both just got axed.

You'd think after such a partisan election people would be trying to bring everyone together, not tear them further apart.

[tmthforu94]

Every single person on that list has proven themselves capable, Tmth. Hashemite has been SoEA many times (and since when did Hashemite become not a moderate? he's championed a dozen different centrist parties here), Teddy is fantastic at his job, I've been AG before and been on the Court so I know law well, Badger is the best person we've got to be GM, Dr. Cynic has voiced his desire to be GM in the past and since he can't he makes a perfect candidate to at least work with the GM as SoIA.

Polnut is the only unknown quantity here to me, but only because I don't know him, and he's going to be Registrar General, for goodness sake. What political power does that office have that they need to put a blue avatar in there for?

Purple State and I put a communist in charge of Internal Affairs. Everyone in our initial cabinet, as far as I remember, voted for PS and I. We did it because we looked for the most competent candidates and they just happened to be those people. It wasn't intentional and I doubt it was intentional here.

There's no point in randomly picking people who oppose you if you don't think they'll do a good job.

So let's not try to jump on this incredibly silly complaint as a way to wedge people against each other like you are obviously trying to do. A "partisan" cabinet is not an inherently bad cabinet. And I fail to see what a bipartisan cabinet is good for anyway, honestly.

I'm certainly not saying every decision made was bad, and I'm disappointed that you are suggesting that. I actually smiled when I saw you had been appointed, as I remember how good you one were as Attorney General.

I personally believe that it's great to have all sides working together, not just one side. Because if we seclude a huge portion of citizens, people will become uninterested and this game will decay. This game would lay waste if it came down to only liberals involved with no conservative opposition.

I believe Hashemite will do a great job, as he's done it before. I am mainly disappointed, however, in the axing of one of our greatest Atlasians, Afleitch. He's very qualified for the position and has probably been the best SoIA to date, making most of an otherwise useless position. While I'm not trying to suggest Dr. Cynic will be a poor SoIA, just saying you'd like a position doesn't mean you'd be good at it. Heck, I'd like to be President of the United States, but that doesn't mean I'd be good at it. (I'll take it a step further and say I wouldn't be )

I look forward to seeing what this administration to do, and I'll be extremely interested to see how much they try to involve the minority.

And my quest to take over Atlasia begins...

[tmthforu94]

We interrupt this silly argument to bring you an important announcement:

Appointed to fill the position of Registrar General of the Census Bureau is one of Atlasia's great leaders from the RPP:  tmthforu!!!

(applause)

Wow, that is certainly unexpected, but, very welcome! I already have him on my AIM. I predict a record high in inner-departmental communications!

^^^

An excellent choice! I look forward to this being a very smooth running RG department

I know you're happy because you're going to be Governor thanks to this administration decision

Knowing A-Bob would take over the region made my decision much easier.

[tmthforu94]

I'm somewhat unhappy. I asked Teddy to marry me, so we could have a great relationship and give Atlasia the best doggone elections ever. Sadly, he isn't ready to take the next step yet.
