    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    Currently I spend about 4 hours on NS every day, so about 28 hours a week. My work in TNP and other regions requires me to check in regularly, and while I'll resign my foreign positions if elected Delegate, the extra workload will most likely occupy a lot of my time and attention in the summer...

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    I'm not going to answer the above post because it pertains to classfied government conversations that I'm not allowed to discuss on a public forum without explicit authorisation from Carcassonne and Vibonia's governments. I will, however, state that my position as Minister of Culture in...

    [GA - PASSED] Repeal "Preventing Employment Discrimination"

    Against. This is absolute cinema as a meme but unfortunately I have higher standards for repeals.

    [SC - PASSED] Commend New Makasta

    The only thing I dislike about Makasta is their frequent misspelling habits. For

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    I absolutely stand by everything I have said, and would have gladly produced screenshots to prove my claims were it not for the fact that the conversations happened in the classified High Command channel. Even still, none of the administration officials (including the Vice Delegate) have been...

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    One of the issues with the previous ambassadorial system was that our ambassadors often went inactive or became unwilling/unable to do tasks asked of them. A simple solution to that would be to vet our ambassador hopefuls in advance by instituting an application system to assess their activity...

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    This administration has ignored my offers to help and dismissed my concerns on multiple occasions, and I find it very difficult to work enthusiastically for those who brushed aside my input and were unwilling to listen. Yet despite this dismissiveness, I still remained in the government and did...

    Oh boy this is gonna be so cursed. I'm morbidly interested in reading it though.

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    All of your "criticisms", if one could call it that, were loaded with falsehoods. It is telling that you chose not to refute any of what I said. What the region needs at this time is not inaction, but urgency in addressing our most critical problems.

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    Communication has certainly not been the government's strong suit in past administrations, including this one. Without consistent government communication to our citizens, they are left with little insight into our most urgent and critical problems, like the manpower attrition hitting our...

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    This is such an utterly distorted recount of events that I have to laugh. Aside from doing work on our regional dispatches, I wrote four articles for the government (the most out of all writers in the executive staff this term), two of which are still sitting in The Drafting Room. I led two...

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    In my experience on NS, burnout (that is not real life-induced) usually happens due to a combination of a huge workload and feelings of helplessness and frustration, in that you have a lot of work to do but no one to help or care for, and you feel powerless to change your situation. This I have...

    Oaths of Office

    I, Picairn, do hereby solemnly swear that during my term as Election Commissioner, I will uphold the ideals of Democracy, Freedom, and Justice of The Region of The North Pacific. I will use the powers and rights granted to me through The North Pacific Constitution and Legal Code in a legal...

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    To answer your latest two questions, Simone: 4. Right now I'm not a hardline NatSov as I once was, but I'm not necessarily an IntFed either. I still reject bureaucratic overreach in the WA, and I will continue to vote for repeals on issues that the GA shouldn't intervene in. At the same time, I...

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    I'd like to know what plans were made and what situations forced the plans to move more slowly, because from the outside there is zero effort anywhere at an actual recruitment campaign for the executive staff. Even the basic application processing has slowed down significantly. By all means...

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    That's a strange characterisation because I'm planning to do a lot of things for this "resource". It's a two way interaction, not a one-sided extraction. The Lennarts is an opportunity for TNPers to nominate the best and brightest within the community. That includes RPers too in awards such as...

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    I believe I'd serve this region better as Delegate to address the systematic manpower attrition and low morale within the executive staff. Based on the performance of this administration so far, I don't think I'd be very effective at driving results as a Minister if I had to contend with an ever...

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    I am not against regular Cabinet discussions on principle, but I am skeptical of the value of weekly meetings when they have produced little result under this administration. Just as an example, our manpower attrition problem has worsened this term and it was never addressed in an organised...

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    1. Reviving the Cards Guild is important over the long term because our cards supply is not infinite. Off the top of my head, the card stock on TNL is going to exhaust itself in about 8 years with the current daily lottery, which may sound like a lot but it can run out faster if we want to...

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    Thank you for your support. If every citizen joins me in this endeavour to rebuild the executive staff and revive regional activity, we will come out stronger in the end.

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    I would, but I'll say earnestly that I don't view weekly Cabinet meetings as an effective solution to our problems. While I value Cabinet meetings on principle because there's potential for discussions and new ideas, mandatory weekly ones appear to me as a lot of effort for insufficient benefit...

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    One of the main pipelines through which we regularly recruit new talent is the gameside community. We have recruited our spawns with the telegram lists and the Gameside Advocates, and used regional dispatches as an assistance tool. Many of our newcomers (and myself) arrived from the RMB through...

    Picairn for Delegate 3: Restoration

    I’m back. My campaign will likely come as a surprise to some of you, since four months ago I indicated a desire for retirement from TNP politics. You’re right. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have announced my return, at least not this early. But these are not normal circumstances we...
