T4T - Toerana for Thalassia

Full Disclosure up front, at the time of this election I am also running for the position of Officer in TRR, may this effect your vote
Hi, I'm BowShot, also known as Toerana. I'm here to pitch to you why you should vote for me in the upcoming elections.
First, a bit about me. I've been playing this game since late December 2018, and have been in and out of the Thalassian community, and that which preceded it, from my join date. I'm currently active in both Thalassia and the Rejected Realms, as well as being a citizen of South Pacific & Warzone Airspace (when it isn't occupied). My former involvements in the region Voltarium gave me some experience in running a, if I do say so myself, fabulous program to encourage WA membership, and endorsement of the delegate. I'll leave a link to everything I have from Volt here, in case you're curious.
Onto my proposals..

  1. Putting the Delegate's vote in the hands of Thalassians
    The Delegate is the representative of Thalassia to the World Assembly, so it is vital that Thalassians have a say of over how their delegate vote, as their endorsement contributes to our voting power and influence in the WA. I will always, baring a few exceptions, vote with the majority of Thalassians. There is one exception to this, if there is a Security Council vote that may harm Thalassia and/or her allies. If this is the case, I will take the advice of the Prime Minister and/or Founder, before voting on behalf of the region. In all other cases, including Security Council votes that have no connection to Thalassia, the majority opinion in the region will have my vote.

  2. Rewards for World Assembly Members
    A key part of any World Assembly Program is rewarding those who partake in it. Similar to systems in The North Pacific, I would look to create rewards and badges for a certain categories, WA membership, endorsing the delegate and possibly more in the future. I can't say what I have in mind, as I'm still collecting all my thoughts. Past evidence of a similar program can be found in the aforementioned Voltarium work, for those who want to have an idea of what I have done previously. Yes, I agree, my graphic design badly needs improvement.

  3. An Adaptive Endorsement Cap
    I believe that Thalassians should be allowed to endotart to their heart's consent, but that can lead to risks, including accidentally accumulating too many endorsements. An endorsement cap that follows the Vice Delegate's endorsement number would ensure no one is climbing too high, but while still giving Thalassians the room to endorse and receive endorsements largely hassle free.

Have any questions? Post them on the RMB or send me a telegram, here or on my main: Toerana

Updated the NewsWire to include candidates and platforms! If you stand and I miss you, please be sure to let me know so I update accordingly!

Nations running for/supporting a nation running for SecGen- please do not advertise or campaign on our RMB. We are starting our WA Delegate elections and would appreciate minimal confusion (and minimal spamming, since the telegrams wouldn’t stop yesterday). Thanks!

Nations running in our WAD election, obviously that rule does not apply to you, but remember to follow the rules outlined in Article II of the Electoral Reform Act.

Due to my Constitutional role as the last-resort tie breaker, I feel it is my responsibility to Thalassia to remain neutral in this election. That said, I wish the candidates the best of luck! Semper Thalassia!

I use both, mobile is useful, but almost all gov work is done on the PC, I can do it so much faster and it's usually more in depth.
Mobile's decent for some things though, some players exclusively use it, how I will never know.

Bormiar for Thalassian Delegate April 2020


About Bormiar

Hi! I'm Borm. I'm currently a quiet, impartial observer within Thalassia. It's very helpful for being in the Security ministry, but, having looked at the region, I'd like to get more involved. I've met many of you, and would like to connect to more Thalassians.

However, the World Assembly is an international organization. It stands to reason that a prerequisite for understanding the WA is to be involved in the World Assembly. In fact, some of the best delegates (such as those that vote early), are WA authors. McMasterdonia, Kuriko, Imperium Anglorum-- all exceptional delegate-authors who have a) the knowledge to spur discussion; and b) the interest to vote early.

Well, I've got WA involvement on my resume. I joined the SC in late 2019 with a ripple: first resolution to legitimize cards and recognize it as a part of the game. I had the energy and unbridled interest to beat the massive rule problems with the concept and found a new precedent.

Since then, I've continued to love the WA. I've written 4 resolutions, one of which being the first to commend entirely for issue answering, and a far more artful writing than what past authors have written in their small, throwaway clauses mentioning stats. I've been trying out a roleplay resolution; have done GP; etc, so I know the fields. My rate of writing proposals is unnaturally fast, and at this rate (which is speeding up) I could have written the most commendations and condemnations (generally the substantive stuff) by the end of the year. I'm absolutely one of the only people who primarily considers themselves to be an SC player, maybe the only one.

EDIT: Oh, just remembered, I also have already written a nations not endorsing script that separates the nations not endorsing you into groups of 8 (max group to tg without using stamps), so bulk endotarting for if I were elected is quick and easy.

EDIT 2: I'm running for WA officer in TRR, just forgot to mention it. See why it doesn't matter here: page=rmb/postid=38068561

Goals

Anyone ever wonder why the defenders have a lock on the SC, despite having historically had little voting power? They have authors. We don't need to subjugate ourselves to the whim of a big bloc just to give us more power, or even to make our own bloc. We don't need to make elaborate schemes to triple our endorsements. We don't need to be trumped by TNP over and over again through a cards program. What we need to do is cultivate World Assembly interest within our own members, and only then can we expand to massive, questionably-consequential projects. That's my goal.

One basic thing to stress is that Thalassians should feel like they're making a difference. I won't vote with the in-game region vote, as that just hands our vote to the lemming effect (going with the popular vote) and doesn't encourage joining our discord. What I would follow is a system with reaction votes from WA residents in the discord server. I would follow this vote verbatim (even if it's against my own proposal) except in a situation where voting or voting how the region wants would defensibly hurt our region. I would be transparent about why if that rare case would ever be realized.

So, other than enfranchising our members, how can we execute proper WA outreach? Here are some ideas (many of which I have seen provably effective):

  • WA ping program -- Basically an RMB mention and discord ping (or only one of them for specific people) goes out whenever there's a new vote. Very easy. Very effective.

  • Logging people who vote early, vote, and vote with a reason why to help discussion and ranking them. I already do this in TRR, and would be more than happy to do it for Thalassia.

  • Reaching out to people interested in becoming authors and help them out. 10KI's Kuriko does this exceptionally well, and I already do it despite it not being my job. I enjoy helping people write their drafts. I would reach out to actively-voting and critiquing Thalassians and ask if they'd be interested in authorship, and endeavor to help them as much as I can.

  • Voting Recommendations -- If we prove to be doing well in our community, we can start sending out voting recommendations (example) with reasons why people should vote a certain way. I've proven to be quite good at writing them in TNP.

Final Thoughts

My goals aren't excessive. My goals aren't extreme. But they are attainable. They are necessary. And they are things I've proven to be able to do.

My goals are the building blocks of an exceptional World Assembly community. I have my grounding, and I know what we need to grow. I trust you will listen to my experience and hope you will vote for me in the delegate elections.

The Markissios Dýnami of Wymondham1

I have some questions:
Toerana iii
You were unanimously convicted of Espionage in Lazarus and banned from their for two years. Is it really a good idea from a PR and regional security perspective for the region to have a WA Delegate who has been convicted of espionage in and banned from one of the largest regions in the game?
25 days ago an article of yours was released in the Rejected times, issue linked below. Although an opinion article, to say that the article was of a questionable factual basis is quite frankly an understatement. Can Thalassia really trust you as our WAD when you are so economical with the truth about our region?
You are running for an officer position in TRR, do you think this will take up a lot of your time and lead you to have to prioritise one role over the other?
Ayeinc:
Which WA league do you have in mind, you only have two on the scene right now. The WALL and URA, do you intend to join either of these or create a new one?
Odin:
In TNP and TRR you voted that both regions vote against the commendation of Cormactopia prime, a proposal which thrice referenced the good work Cormac had done for our community when we were in Pacifica and now in Thalassia. Can you really have Thalassia's best interests at heart when you cannot even support recognition for our original founder?
As media officer in TRR you are obviously a very busy man. Are you sure you can juggle both offices simultaneously? What about cases where Thalassia's interests would conflict with those you have in TNP and TRR, who would come first?
You are running for WA officer in TRR, does this not represent a colossal conflict of interest between Thalassia and TRR's interests, why was this not declared on your campaign dispatch like Toerana did?
Fourthly, what is your opinion on Thalassia's relationship with NSToday, as I know you are currently Media Officer of TRR and thus control TRT?
