MELIX FOR LOCAL SOVIET COUNCIL!
Join me in my glorious, revolutionary cause!


LinkMelix for Local Soviet!

Seriously, though. I am Stan Melix, Chairman of the United Socialist States of America Melicorium (I'm more widely known as "Melix", though), and I am running for a position in the Local Soviet of the Union of Southern Socialist Republics Local Council of the South Pacific.

You can navigate through different sections of this dispatch by clicking/tapping on the images below.

About Me

I first joined NationStates as Melicoria in 2016, but abandoned that nation soon after. I came back to NS on February 22, 2020 as Melicorium. The South Pacific has been my home since Melicorium's founding, and I have been an active member of its gameside community since early April (excluding a long period of slight inactivity from early August to early October) and its forumside community since early June. I ran in the July-August LC elections, and though I lost to the Merciless Queen of TSP, Auphelia, I had a strong, aggressive campaign and accumulated a good amount of votes. Immediately after the elections (on August 7), I became a member of the South Pacific Special forces, serving in the ultimate liberation of South Pacific. On October 3, I became a Legislator, and on October 10, I ranked up to Soldier in the SPSF.

Over the course of my over eight months in TSP, I have made several good friends, including Proctethia, a former Local Soviet Member Councillor. During his term, Procty did well in moderating the RMB, greeting new South Pacificans, and engaging in several conversations on the RMB a week. I am greatly inspired by him, and this is one reason I am running (and in July-August, ran) for a position in the Local Soviet Council myself.

I also may or may not be a mourning dove.

What I'll Do

    - I will regularly check the RMB (when I'm not doing school, of course) and make sure every post follows the rules. (I already have been doing this; I just can't suppress posts. :P)
    - I will happily start conversations on the RMB or pop into them. I am able to somewhat relate with most RMBers, including new South Pacificans.
    - I will warmly welcome new South Pacificans by giving them the region's main guide and a fresh, cold can of Melicorian SPIT.
      - If a new South Pacifican says that they are bored or asks how they can get involved, I will happily tell them to join the Assembly or/and SPSF.
      - If a new South Pacifican asks if there is war in NationStates, like many new nations do for some reason, I will tell them to join the South Pacific Special Forces and that Fihami would be happy to have them in service. (I also have been doing this.)

    - While Auphelia is not able to create her famous polls, I will fill in her niche and create equally interesting polls.
    - I will distribute fresh, cold Melicorian SPIT to everyone.

What I Believe

    - The enforcement of RMB rules is necessary for the enjoyment of everyone on the RMB.
    - Every South Pacifican has the right to roleplay with their fellow South Pacificans.
    - Regions have the right to determine their own government and to stay sovereign. (Well, unless they're a fascist region.) In other words, defenderism and regional sovereignty are good.
    - Ice cream is better than either cake or pie. (Isn't that right, Admiral Delegate General Amerion?)

What I Disagree With

    - CAPITALISM.
    - Trolling which is done just to make other people feel miserable, just because one's own life is miserable.
    - Fascism, nationalism, jihadism, and the alt-right. Just plain disgusting ideologies; alt-right trolls are some of the worst trolls.
    -The puny battle between supporters of cake and pie, both of which are inferior to ice cream.

Q&A

Purple Hyacinth wrote:1) Why do you want to run for LC?

2) Why do you think you would be a good LCer? What would be your weakness as an LCer?

3) What is your history in NationStates?

4) What do you like and what do you dislike about the RMB right now?

5) Are there any changes you would like to implement as an LCer?

6) Any other thoughts?

1. Same reason I ran in the July elections - I'm an active RMBer, and I actually want to suppress rule-breaking posts after telling the rule-breaker about their offense, instead of having to wait for the LC to suppress it.
2. I would make a good LCer because I regularly check and post on the RMB, and I like to help new TSPers. I do not see any weakness as an LCer, but in most situations (not on the RMB, though), you never know when I cannot tell the difference between a bad joke and something offensive.
3. See this dispatch: page=dispatch/id=1445260
Additionally, I have been an active RMBer from mid-April to early August, and from early October onwards.
4. I like the happy small talk and roleplay that goes on in the RMB. I dislike excessive roleplay that is not taken Knowhere or Psomewhere else.
5. Nothing major, but I plan to create weird and interesting polls while our great tentacle goddess Auphelia cannot.
6. Ice cream is better than cake or pie.

Thank You!

Fellow South Pacificans, thank you for viewing my campaign. If you want a Local Soviet Member Councillor who will do his job well, can relate with the jolly people of the South Pacific, and distribute free SPIT and the Glorious Socialist Revolution to all South Pacificans, vote Melix!

If you want to talk to me or ask me questions privately, I am also on the TSP Forums and TSP Discord server if you don't want to telegram me.

What a dispatch.... you want a dispatch.... well ok.

PLEASE VOTE BEEPEE FOR LC ... AGAIN

Are we sitting comfortably, then I shall begin...

Once upon a time, in a land not so far, far, away lives an intelligent, strong, independent woman called Auphelia.

Auphelia is beloved by all and rules over the land with an even and fair hand. As such, Auphelia is praised by all in the land.[1]

Every 8 months, or so, Auphelia is required to take a small break from her reign over the land. Each year, Erinor, Pencil Sharpeners 2 and Amerion, make sure that Aupehlia is taken on a lovely cruise around the wrecks of boneyard, where she can purvey the nations she had destroyed.

During this period, other nations line up to be caretakers of the queendom.

This particular year Auphelia's loyal henchman and butler, Beepee (That's Me!), considers himself as the perfect caretaker for the next four months.

Beepee, has been a caretaker LC before (the last time Auphelia was taken on vacation), and the world didn't end.[2] Having supported and cheered Auphelia for many a year, Beepee is aware of all the rules and the way Auphelia likes to run things.

The last time he was LC, Beepee did fun polls and events,[3], wrote faerie stories about citizens of the land and did interviews with the great unwashed. He updated laws and policies, published news, welcomed the newbies, and banished the naughties. So as you can see I know what to do.

As he is nowhere near as wonderful as the glorious Auphelia, Beepee only ever does 4 months of caretaking because he knows Auphelia will be back and raring to go after her tour.

So in the next 4 months, Beepee would love to buttle and tidy and polish, so when Auphelia returns its all shiny and clean for her to continue her glorious rule.


[1]This view was not held by her loyal subjects, however, who lived in abject fear of her wrath. What her subjects did not understand was it only the naughty and evil were to fear her wrath. Good boys and girls had only fear the mental scarring of seeing the torment of those wicked enough to breach the rules of the land.

[2]It did wobble slightly, but this was only because no-one is as wonderful as Auphelia.

[3]said no-one ever.


LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF... AGAIN

Hi everyone, It's me, Beepee.

I'm running for a position in the Local Council, and if you don't know me buckle up.... here goes.

  • I love bureaucracy and all things admin...

  • I'm all up for fun and keeping the RMB an active and interesting place.

  • I already know the rules and laws, and well, that's a pretty decent thing to know...

  • I was once a pretty average LC..... so I know about being average and thats good.

  • I've been here for a few years now so you know me and, well, you know me... maybe...

  • I know how to protect you from a naughty post...so I know about not being a bad person.

  • Like your deodorant, I provide 24hr protection....I'm Australian, that means I can protect you when the Europeans and/or Americans are in bed.

  • I like to buttle and clean up your mess.

What will I do...

  • I know how to do awesome polls!

  • I'm a wonderful host with lots of greeting skills!

  • I can update things, and can dispatch my way to your heart!

  • I can encourage you to become the best (or, if you prefer, the worst) you can be!

What do you mean this part is really similar to my last campaign.... how dare you


Conflict of Interest

I, Beepee, being of sound mind and body (at least as sound as it's ever going to be) hereby declare:

I am a member of the Legislator Assembly within the South Pacific and I am a member of the Coral Guard.

I am a member of the World Assembly.

I have no affiliations with any other region.

I have a puppet Northern Beepee, currently used for forum RP... I think all my other puppets have lapsed into the wilderness.

I am also available on discord.

I swear to uphold the values and principles of the South Pacific.

Pencil Sharpeners 2's tagged because he's wonderful and so he has this dispatch for EC purposes.

Y’all should vote for Shangyuen cause he’s really active in this RMB.

Shangyuen is also a member of the legislature so y’all gamesiders will have your voices heard in the legislature without needing to do the tedious forum sign up process!

Shangyuen is also in the UTC +7 time zone, so when the Europeans, Americans, and eastern Australians are off to bed, Shangyuen will be there to save the day!

Shangyuen is a also member of the SPSF - a defender force - and works hard to defend this region and the NS world from invaders/raiders.

VOTE FOR SHANGYUEN!
Vote Shangyuen in to the LOCAL COUNCIL
He will serve you well and your vote will NOT be wasted! Thank you!

This message has been approved by Shangyuen through discord: ‘I'm Shangyuen and I approve this message’

Re-elect Volaworand 2020 - Preparation H
Our early attempts at a campaign dispatch went through several preparations. Preparations A through G were a complete failure. But now, ladies and gentlemen, we finally have a working campaign dispatch, which we shall call... Preparation H.

Volaworand, what do you really think of the letter H? Don't hold back.

Volaworand wrote:

To all those who have had the misfortune to imbibe the letter H’s dangerous, appalling outbursts, I have one thing to say: The letter H has hitched itself to the wagon of Junkerism. Before I begin talking about specifics, let me just mention that I’m not afraid of the letter H. However, I am concerned that it seems to be involved in a number of illegal or borderline-illegal activities. For the letter H and its famuli, tax evasion and financial chicanery are scarcely outside the norm. Even financial fraud and thievery seem to be okay. What’s next? Diminishing society’s inducements to good behavior? I can say only that the letter H backstabs its secret agents. If you don’t understand that simple fact then you haven’t a clue as to why it has been shanking the working class in the back to keep the cash spigots flowing. Fortunately, I can provide a simple explanation: The letter H does not just offend our ears and our sensibilities. It also makes possible the acts of violence and hatred we’re seeing play out in our country today. Stick your nose into anything the letter H has written recently, and you’ll get a good whiff of pertinacious egoism. Before the letter H spews any more psychoanalytical drivel, let me assure it that when available data from independent sources fail to bolster its claim that sexism and Satanism are identical concepts, the letter H invariably avers that the data exist out there somewhere and are being suppressed. In reality, the most trustworthy data indicate that the letter H has one-upped George Washington in that it cannot tell a lie and cannot tell the truth. Basically, it’s too self-satisfied to distinguish between the two.

I have the following advice for the letter H: If you can’t manage to be grateful for all the things we’ve done for you, at least have a little dignity, don’t whine, and don’t expect to be treated like a fragile doll just because you have a theatrically hypersensitive soul and delusions of entitlement. Having eviscerated from its local community all notions of fairness, equality, and justice, the letter H has recently taken to fortifying a social correctness that restricts experience and defines success with narrow boundaries. Doing so is clear evidence that it is not interested in what is true and what is false or in what is good and what is evil. In fact, those distinctions have no meaning to it whatsoever. The only thing that has any meaning to the letter H is frotteurism. Why? The bigger question is the following: Aren’t the letter H’s morals an existential expression of Man’s tragic separation, his awful estrangement, and his terrible sinfulness? It is only when one has an answer to that question is it possible to make sense of the letter H’s sermons because the letter H has never satisfactorily proved its assertion that it should be a given a direct pipeline to the national treasury. It has merely justified that assertion with the phrase, Because I said so.

There’s a lot of talk nowadays about the letter H’s raffish opinions but not much action. Just between you and me, on several occasions I have heard the letter H state that its faith in alcoholism gives it an uncanny ability to detect astral energy and cosmic vibrations. I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a comment. What I consider far more important though is that the letter H wants to mobilize support for the special interests that dominate state and private activity. That’s indisputably a formula for repression and resentment and will lead to it distorting the facts in the near future. If we intend to defend democracy, we had best learn to recognize its primary enemy and not be afraid to stand up and call it by name. That name is the letter H.

The cordian empire


The Cordian Empire for Local Councillor!


I am the Cordian Empire, better known as the New Cordian Empire (my main nation), or my nickname, NCE. I am running in the upcoming Local Council election in the South Pacific. Here is why you should vote for me:


I am involved!

From the RMB to the South Pacific Special Forces, and in government, too, I am deeply involved in the South Pacific. I'm a very active RMBer, and am certainly able to fill out the moderation capacity of the Local Council. As a member of the South Pacific Special Forces, I am very active defender, having gone on over 15 operations in the last three weeks alone, and helping to defend and detag nearly 150 different regions. In government, I am part of the Ministry of Media, helping to write articles, compile statistics, and the like.


I am creative!

One of my best qualities is my ability to come up with a bunch of different ideas, and my ideas for the LC are no different. The main idea I've been thinking of is holding RMB parties. Yes, parties! Food, drinks (virtually, of course), and games on the RMB! Most cultural events in the South Pacific are limited to offsite platforms, and I think a gameside event (or four) would be a wonderful way to increase activity and bring some more TSP culture to the onsite groups.


I am objective!

Another of my better qualities is my ability to be objective, that is, my ability to see both sides of an argument or conversation and make a decision on the subject, not affected by my personal beliefs. This is a huge quality when it comes to moderation.


I am a commoner!

This is a bit of a weird one. Why would I say that I'm a commoner? It amounts to this: the current LC (no offense meant to them) tends to act a bit above RMBers. To some extent, this is needed to make unbiased decisions, but it also pushes the LC away from the normal RMBers. I am seen as more of a normal person on the RMB, and people will be more likely to listen to me, rather than fight back, as a result.


I can deal with spammers!

The South Pacific, as a feeder region, attracts all sorts of people. Unfortunately, a lot of them are people who don't understand the rules, or are just outright spammers. I can deal with these kinds of people well; it wasn't too long ago that I didn't understand what double posting is. With people who unintentionally break the rules, I will politely inform them that they shouldn't be doing that, and explain the rule to them. If people continue to break the rules, I will ensure that they go bye-bye as soon as possible.


Questions?

If you have any questions, shoot me a telegram on NationStates or DM me on Discord! I'm on pretty often, so I'll respond quickly. If you want me to include your question in this dispatch, please say so!


How to help my campaign.

First, change your nation classification and/or motto to "NCE for LC!"

Second, fly the flag I'm currently using for YOUR nation!

Finally, go out and spread the word on the RMB, by linking this dispatch, perhaps with your own message alongside!

Frjalsfold is also a significant puppet of mine, but I don't use it any more.


Interview with Purple Hyacinth

Hya:

1) Why do you want to run for LC?

2) Why do you think you would be a good LCer? What would be your weakness as an LCer?

3) What is your history in NationStates?

4) What do you like and what do you dislike about the RMB right now?

5) Are there any changes you would like to implement as an LCer?

6) Any other thoughts?

Me:

1) Because I think the LC is a great way to give back to this community, and that I am capable of being a plus for the LC.

2) I think I would be a good LCer because two of my main traits are my sense of fairness and my ability to be objective when calm, allowing me to make unbiased decisions. Another thing that would make me a good LCer is that I trend towards helpful, which could help me in dealing with rule-breakers. The current LC tends to make snarky comments as opposed to trying to be more positive in dealing with rule-breakers, which makes them less likely to actually abide by the rules. That being said, I am fully capable of mercilessly dealing with rule-breakers once they cross a line.

3) I started out about 8 months ago, founding my current main nation, the New Cordian Empire, about six months ago. Early on, I didn't do anything of note. With my current nation, I started out in the North Pacific and stayed there for about a month, not really doing too much. During this time, I also joined the region Founderless. After leaving TNP, I bounced around from place to place for a while, joining the South Pacific in early October (I think). While in TSP, I've become a legislator, voted on a bunch of proposals, and become very active in the South Pacific Special Forces. Recently, I also became Executive Director of Founderless and am now leading that region.

4) I like how the RMB is really a place where people can discuss the vast majority of topics without risk of being flamed or personally attacked, and knowing that if that does happen, justice will be swift. If I had to say I dislike something, it would be the spammers we get occasionally, but in all honestly, I enjoy laughing at those more than I hate them, so perhaps that isn't so much of a bad thing to me.

5) I tend to be the kind of person to come up with a ton of different ideas, and I have a few. My main idea is to have regular RMB events, be they competitions, RMB parties, or something else, and I have a few more ideas that I'm developing at the moment.

6) I don't really have much to say other than stay safe during these times, and go vote in the LC elections, regardless of who you vote for. It is important that the LC represents the whole of the South Pacific, and if the will of the region is for me not to be elected, then so be it.
