Alright for Fighting
It's an angry world out there. Two in the morning at Jane & Finch (bad neighbourhood in Toronto, I'm sure you can insert your own). Lawless. A realist (Political Science) would tell you "Ha, told you and even in a game". Talk of coups, votes of no-confidence, fights and resignations due to public scandal. I just love the intrigue and how interesting it is... as long as it's not in my region. xP
In this issue: NBE, UK, Hampshire, TNI, Region Inc, TKR and the "World in FA"*
*I keep in touch with regions that are in my FA sphere. So if you'd like me to check out another region, please pm me or comment below. The regions I'll be checking on normally and possibly writing about are the following:
Hampshire
Europeia
Imperial Britain
The New Inquisition
Unknown
The Kodiak Republic
New Britannian Empire
United Kingdom
Grand Central
Land of Kings and Emperors
Alliance of Queens
New Earth
Greater Wetlands
Region Inc
Renaissance
Are you ready?
Talk of Unrest in NBE
This had to be the angriest place that I checked out this week. The TUK-NBE rivalry was replaced with UK-NBE, George and Leo replaced the ruling tandem of Konstanin/Richard and Nivogal along with SBI and Rix are gone or inactive. But despite the stability, the region doesn’t feel right. A few older members feel underappreciated, feel that the region is going backwards and that there is nothing for them to do. It’s a recipe for disaster.
Two of them (one being former Lord High Admiral Hughes De Payens) have resigned their positions and/or retired while others have expressed similar feelings of discontent. The general consensus among them is that the new Emperors leadership is to blame which led to questions about a possible coup. It was quickly dismissed by Hughes. The Emperors husband Leo has expressed his disappointment that this comes while George is away and unable to defend himself. Right now it's died down with the discussion turning to the creation of a new role-play to occupy their time, but is this a long term solution? Or a sign of things to come?
Elections over in UK, Hampshire and TNI (for Reich Elector only)
Here's the breakdown in each:
United Kingdom
Constance said:
What's interesting about these results is that the two people who wanted to topple Alex Beckett-O’Connor-Stuart as Prime Minister in an effort to run for said position have both failed to be elected. The rules currently do not set term limits: the Prime Minister has to be toppled by a motion of no confidence and is elected by Parliament. That changes for next election, where the Prime Minister will be elected by a popular vote each term.
Hampshire
Senator TC said:
So it looks like Pananida will not be spending much time in Europeia and I found Willems back up plan xP
The New Inquisition
Dominius Aurelius has been elected as Reich Elector, beating out the newly returned Frenchman At Heart who upon winning, DA nominated for Vice Reich Elector. Frenchman At Heart was confirmed this evening with a 5-0-0 vote in the Reichstag. There was also a fight going on between Onderkelkia (I can finally spell his name without looking it up) and Olde Delaware, in which OD was dishonourable discharged for failing to respond to orders but claims that he told Onder that he had told him about his real life issues. Things quickly went downhill.
Region Inc Active Again
Region Inc looks pretty active and it's the final week of Chairman Henry Von Hoffmans (aka: Henry) term. This is what it looks like based on his update:
Public Relations (Foreign Affairs), Management (running elections, economy) and Human Resources (recruiting, records and employment) are doing well. On the other hand, security (NS warfare, trials) hasn't been doing as well with the director going inactive. All in all, Region Inc looks like it's turned a corner since I last visited. The government seems to be working and forum activity is up.
Chaos in Kodiak
I was almost done and almost didn't do this but I thought, just one more... and I didn't do Kodiak last time. What I found is by far the most entertaining that can be described best by the discussion on what happened.
Senator Oliver von Guelderlaand said:... I walk away for a couple days to enjoy a weekend with my GF, and I return to chaos?
Nice job, guys
Seriously, though, I'm not 100% sure what has been going on behind closed doors, but what I do know is that we're coming apart at the seams. We need to pick a chancellor and stick with him. I am not so sure why Slovenion was such a poor Chancellor that nobody will support him, but I'm sure there are reasons I will never know. At this time, were I not as busy as I am IRL, I would volunteer to lead the government through the end of the term, but I am as busy as I am.
I continue to support Slovenion, but I think it is less important who we pick than how we behave once we pick someone. Slovenion got behind Dhaka (until be began to believe Dhaka was lying to him) because Dhaka was duly elected Chancellor and Slovenion understands service. What boggles my mind is that that, if not his term before, does not qualify him for a second term.
Despite this, though, someone we can all unite behind is needed. If not Slovenion, then who? Danieyella does not have the experience, nor does Dhaka. Seymour is not someone I can support, and I myself have too much on my plate. That leaves Oeilvert, who seems about to get it no matter what I say.
Again, why we needed this change is beyond me, but now that it is upon us I believe we are best to embrace it and see what happens.
I'm very concerned for our future.
