Confirmation Hearing: Dr. Cynic for SoIA (confirmed)

[bgwah]

Acting President Bacon King has nominated Dr. Cynic for SoIA.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Dr. Cynic, it has been alleged that you were recently involved in subersive activities against the gov't of Atlasia. Tell me, are you a loyal Atlasian, Dr. Cynic?


Also, it has been stated that you were once fired from I beleive this same position. Why were you fired and what will you do to prevent that from happening this time?

[Dr. Cynic]

I supported the idea of the revolution. I didn't really care who won at the time, but I was glad to see something going on. That's what I support and everyone here knows that. I was asked to re-register as an Atlasian citizen and I did so.

I was, because I was gone. I was off the forum completely for a couple of months because I was in Australia. I did announce an LOA before I was gone, but that was for a different issue, which was illness. Kalwejt, who was President at the time decided to relieve me, and since I wasn't online, that was his prerogative.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Do you forsee any future such trips to the Land Down Under?

[Dr. Cynic]

Do you forsee any future such trips to the Land Down Under?

She'll be back here for Christmas, so no. Not for quite awhile.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Question from gallery:

Can you assure you won't disappear again without a word while serving as SoIA, like it happened the last time?

[Dr. Cynic]

Considering I didn't disappear last time without a word... Again I did say publicly I was taking a LOA. I just had more important things come up. As of now I don't plan on going anywhere or having any such conflicts come up.

OK, thanks for correcting me.

[Dr. Cynic]

Yeah... I took a LOA because of illness, but at the same time, I had my Australia trip come up so I was gone for a couple of months to do wedding prep and make arrangements for her family and stuff like that. Since she's still a college student there, the planning was done around her schedule. But I refer you to my earlier comments. She'll be here for Christmas and we'll be married by June. In which case THEN I'll probably take some forum time off.

However, considering the Presidential election coming up, I don't know that whatever administration is incoming would keep me, so I could be fired by next month.
