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!


Conflict of Interest Disclosure

My active nations include:

The new cordian empire
The cordian empire
SPSF Puppets: from Nce 01 to Nce 25

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.

In a quick interruption from the LC campaigning...

I'm currently working on/finishing up an update for all of TSP's government graphics. One of the topics that came up when discussing that update was updating the flag to reflect a new (and more easy to work with) logo and a new era while also respecting the old design.

Sedunn came up with a great idea using a slightly rounded chevron. Both they and I have posted many, many different variations of that idea. We've done a lot of "ooh, I like that version" and "here, what about this one" in the #government-discussion channel on Discord -- but I want to get the numbers! So here's a chance to have your voice heard: which of these variations do you like most?

(this is not a government publication, just a personal survey in the public interest)

I find it nice that TSP is having an election somewhat before SP is.

Darling, if you can only narrow it to 25 flags, you need to be worse at making flags.

Also, for the public record, black and blue is a classic TSP design element and must be preserved! Change is not terrible, but filling our flag with oranges? Madness!

On the other hand, the black sail logo can make us seem like pirates, and we ARE defenders after all.

There are a bunch of ways to play the game. Outside of the WA and regional government, there is roleplay, military gameplay, tradings cards, etc.
