Statement on Game Moderator Mr. Reactionary
Hello, its been a while since I've posted in my office, but I would like to officially throw my support behind the effort to remove GM Reactionary. It is honestly with a heavy heart that I must do so, I did not want it to come to this, but it seems necessary. I, like many other, was initially a strong supporter of confirming Mr. R as GM. After all, he had just led congress through a record destroying session with 50+ bills passed, and demonstrated a solid knowledge of public policy, surely it would seem that he has a good choice. And so he was confirmed to much fanfare and we all looked into the bright future. Here we are, and it isn't so bright. Being honest, I could feel that things were off before, but did not think they were reason to remove him entirely. I interacted most with the GM during my tenure as Secretary of Internal Affairs, which was unfortunately marred by a budget crisis. I don't blame the GM entirely for the 2019 crisis, there were a myriad of issues, mostly chalking up to a lack of organization. It was quite the mess and I ended up being given the crisis to deal with which I don't believe was meant to be the case. Nonetheless I took up the duties. My colleagues and I in the Weatherboy and Tmth admins found ourselves with data that was either conflicting, vague, or nonexistent. It ultimately was the job of the game engine to provide correct data, but for several months all I really got from Mr. R were vague answers and a few documents for several months until full data was providing and I pieced together the budget, with help from Yankee and LT mostly. This was concerning but also a large workload so I gave him the benefit of the doubt and didn't really do anything against him. Of course now, that has completely stalled and it has been several months since we've really heard from the game engine. Other things have fallen flat as well. From what I know, the government audit, which was intended to be a major accomplish for him, was never completely. I only recall being given the data for the department of Agriculture early into my tenure and thus was never able to incorporate any cost saving measures into the new budget. And we have been lacking in news stories and interaction with officials on any recent issues. We haven't gotten anything since September and those were a few stories from Tmth. I remember during my time on the National Security Council being given several interesting foreign policy things to work on, but eventually those stopped coming. I fear for Atlasia becoming incredibly stale and grinding to a halt, so I must support the GM's removal in order to breath new life into the game. To Mr. Reactionary, if he reads: I'm sorry, this isn't personal. Its for our greater good.
