HEM, thank you for writing this. As someone who loves Arnhelm and wants the best for it and the region, it is disheartening on how many times I have been on the other side of the sacred cow. No Europeian institution is sacred (heck I believed that back in 2017 when I was an idiot with SC abolition ).
To answer to Siph re: City in 2in, I released a statement saying that I still believe in it but I am taking it out because of the backlash. To expand on that, I believe it is the best case for people that also want the CA back but also still like Arnhlem, as then there is a space for both without added overhead and much additional effort. I am all for disagreement and debate, but it does seem like any substantive proposal to change Arnhelm results in an instant your idea is stupid and so are you sentiment.
While I have the grandstand, I would like to address one specific person who really needs to stop talking out of every side of their mouth.
OD. You have been arguably the largest proponent of the sacred cow nonsense since the AIC. You put in your profile "I fully intend to carry out my threat to recall any sitting Senator who votes to go along with a bogus and bias committee on Arnhelm." In discord you made comments such as "All this committee is is one person who hates Arnhelm trying to drag 3 or 4 other people to their point of view while the rest of us just stare.", "Any Senator who stands for this committee who doesn't even have the time nor the gall to actually join Arnhelm and participate before forming a committee to "find facts" are literally not serving the people.", and "We fought incredibly hard to keep Arnhelm independent, not to be a CA."
Quite frankly for a while I was content letting your complete bs go unanswered, but you have to get off of your ridiculous high horse. I am quite aware that whatever hope of you letting go of your petty grudge you hold against me is gone now, but I am done appeasing you and just hoping that one day you will change. Ever since the Papal Farce you have treated me as if I am some sort of arch-nemesis, I've apologized multiple times and you really should have stopped that by now, for a while I was content with you feeling that way and letting you be. But every time I see you talk out of 11 sides of your mount for brownie points it really does irk me. I fully expect you to either ignore this or make ruthless fun of me, either way, stop it, bud.

As one of Arnhelm's biggest supporters and vocal one at that, let me just say that HEM is absolutely right. As much as we'd like for Arnhelm to be left independent, it isn't. It exists at the pleasure of the Senate. It is open to oversight just as any IC thing is in our region and we have to trust our elected Senators and take them at their word that they have its best interests in mind. As I said in private this evening to now former Mayor Sopo, I believe that Arnhelm is in the position where it doesn't know exactly what it wants to be and I'm not sure if that's because it was legislated that way or we've tried to make it into something that it isn't or wasn't designed to be and are worried that our "thing" is going to be taken by people who aren't even involved so we make off the cuff decisions, etc.
I'm not in Eurochat so I can't speak for what went down there, but I think its time that those of us who have Arnhelm's best interests at heart step aside a little, open her up to the light of day and give the people of Europeia a chance to help and offer suggestions and new ideas.
