JTM Research Center: President Tmthforu Approval Rating

[Lambsbread]

This poll will run for 4 days.

[tmthforu94]

I'm sure a majority will disapprove due to the events of today, but I think looking at everything I've done, I've made a positive impact by bringing relevancy to the SoIA and SoEA positions, easing the stress of the GM, creating a more newbie-friendly game, and just overall having one of the most active administrations in recent history and being involved in Senate discussion.

[Mopsus]

I'll wait for articles of impeachment to be introduced and Napoleon to publicize the private messages he supposedly has and for tmth to respond before I make my decision.

You can't even fill the SoIA position and your SoEA has done little with the powers granted by your legislation. This scandal is the biggest event of your term.

And that's my fault how? You're more than welcome to apply for SoIA. The fact is, no one's applied, and everyone I've asked, including the almost President-elect, has declined.

[Lambsbread]

It isn't Isaac's fault that his nominees are inactive, that's not a fair point to make.

Yelnoc, however, in his time as SoIA, was incredibly active. The changes he made were very good, and even if not perfect, are much more useful to us than both positions being completely useless, as they were before. (Also, it's not the SoEA's fault that the Senate basically ignores everything he or the SoIA write.)

[Napoleon]

What? It most certainly is. That's is the core of his administration and one of his primary responsibilities.

Maybe you should make it more relevant.

[Mechaman]

Innocent until proven guilty says I.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

your SoEA has done little with the powers granted by your legislation.

That is laughably false.  I have done everything I can with the SoEA; and the end result has been multiple intense discussions of our foreign policy - the 60 posts generated on the FPR is more than on every previous FPR combined.  I have been more than active, and the record shows it.

[Rowan]

I disapprove because I was not appointed to the cabinet.

Re-read what I wrote. You haven't updated in three weeks, and before then it wasn't since May 18th. A shining example of activity.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

That could just mean things aren't happening.  Activity isn't just posting stories, you know.

That being the case, I don't see why you would be so angry and defensive. My remarks were aimed only at a specific segment of your responsibilities.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Because first of all, your entire campaign has been about dismantling the reforms that I pushed so strongly for to give me any power to begin with; and second, they were, again, false to begin with.

I see two false statements. I don't know how you and Tmth manage to believe some of the things you post.

You're going to start lecturing people on activity? Prior to the start of the election you hadn't updated your campaign thread at all in a month.

A campaign isn't a job. Apples to oranges.

Uh huh. A campaign is when people prove they're up to the task of the job they're running for. Let's count your flaws:

1. Your tenure in the Assembly was marked by controversy over your refusal to acknowledge the election of a duly elected Assemblyman (Giovanni) grounded the Assembly to a halt while it battled over your arbitrary decision to just ignore certain people, nearly resulting in a lawsuit.

2. During the campaign you took your sweet time proposing just about anything, not even bothering to update your campaign thread now for an entire month's worth of time.

3. Randomly just disappeared for days in a row from the Assembly during legislative debate leaving the rest of us completely without leadership for nearly a week. I suspect you were just trying to run out the clock on my time before the Assembly ended so my bill couldn't get introduced (since it was sure to pass), but either way, your "hard working, active defender of the Northeast" schtick was transparent yet again.

4. All of your ideas are ridiculous, unpopular, and/or based on something we've already tried in the past and changed for good reason. Some of the only proposals you made during your campaign (it's easy to pick from them since there were so few) were about repealing Game Reform laws for no reason, or re-combining the SoFE and RG positions after we had already split them apart specifically because that job before had far too heavy a workload. Basically no one liked that idea when you proposed it.

5. In your time as Speaker of the NE Assembly, you had some hilarious opposition to the idea that Speakers or leaders of legislatures shouldn't have to do anything to get their members to vote. You said "I'm not a babysitter." If I had said that I would've been crucified. You were the Speaker of the Assembly that you didn't actually seem to care that much about getting turnout in, running for an even larger and more important legislature. God forbid you ever try to run for PPT.

6. You're either a liar, or a liar. In public you proposed repealing the Game Reform Act, yet in private you started promising people that you would, in fact, not vote to repeal the Game Reform Act, and yet here you stand talking mess about it anyway. So you were either being dishonest the first time when you said you would repeal it, knowing full well you wouldn't, or you were being dishonest when saying you wouldn't repeal it knowing full well you hated the damn thing anyway.

I suppose it's easy to slack off, a lot, when you know so many people are going to line up for you regardless of what you do or don't do. But you're out of your mind if you think I'll let you get away with criticizing people other people for their flaws.

[Napoleon]

1. There is no evidence of me ignoring his votes.

2. I don't have a problem with my campaign.

3. Where was the Lieutenant Governor? Oh no, blame Napoleon for being gone for two days.

4. People liked my VP plan. Btw, the SoFE really has one duty. When the SoFE isn't doing that duty, it exposes the relative uselessness of the position.

5. I outlined why I opposed it, saying it would encourage laziness.

6. I do not support a full repeal, I support a revamping and a renaming, as I've stated over and over publicly and privately.

[tmthforu94]

Ah, now you've resorted to lying even more, something you ironically keep accusing me of doing...

On the Game Moderator

The Best Option Plan

I also propose to repeal the current administration's Game Moderator Reform Act. This act complicates the process and seeks to solve GM activity problems with a web of interlinking "GMs" within the Cabinet, even allowing them to create stories that they have executive powers to act on. The conflict of interest is especially evident for the SoEA position. I cannot stress enough how backwards we made the process. Allowing stories to be posted be lower-level "almost Game Moderators" and then allowing those stories to be modified by the REAL GM is unsound. I strongly believe anyone working as a GM should be as far removed from the Government as possible, i.e. no Cabinet members creating stories. 

I don't see the words "revamping" and "renaming" in that...do you?

I think this has been evident for quite a while. The most popular candidate wins. It's just like school elections.

[Napoleon]

I rephrased my position while discussing it in another thread and stuck with it. Tmth also PMed mean about it and I explained it to him in detail, so he is again being dishonest.

Truly the only explanation for your victory in February.

Ahaha, except I think most would agree I also ran a fairly more active campaign than Oakvale did, and actually made quite a few policy proposals, many later being implemented.
