A figurehead does not have to actually defend; I meant that the Delegate would be the NPA's represetantive in official affairs, and any promotions given would be at his/her behest. The Delegate wouldn't actually have to administrate the NPA at all once the system was in place, but would act like...

I'd also point out that the MoEA has his Deputy, Ambassador-General and Diplomatic Corps to aid in diplomatic situations. Supposedly anyway. This has my support.

I quite like the idea of removing the MoD, and simply allowing the NPA to choose their rank structure. Maybe we should have the Delegate as the figurative head of the NPA too? In regards to the MoJ, then yes - I've been saying for a long time that the position is essentially useless in the...

My friend, the Security council has one concern and one concern only: the security of the region. The fact is that if the situation is considered serious enough to convene the council -- remember that usually, Eras will handle such matters as endotarts herself -- then the time for niceties are...

IMO, I say we just keep our mouths shut now. Any statement will make us look slow and ineffecient. The lack of statement fits in well with our neutral approach. Why stick our noses in business that has nothing to do with us?

Is that /the/ Blackshear, btw? I'd advocate a pre-emptive banjecting. 48 hours and the problem solves itself. If they come back and start again, then we know to leave them on for longer.

:P I knew you loved me really, Sniff :) :kiss:

Not a feeder comrade :P

Wow, are you actually supporting my bid, Sniff, or is it just because no-one else has said anything yet :P :hug: Well, regardless, if Nam comes back then that's ace, but if not, I don't mind taking over until the elections; I've been MoEA twice now, so it's not as if I'll need any training :P

But it's fun, Posul. I fear that some people are taking things awfully seriously.

I'll take over as MoEA ;)

Isn't there a little troll in us all? [This campaign brought to you by the Royal Society for the Protection of Trolls, © 2006 RSPT] **edit - Names need capitals.

Meritocracy > Democracy.

Over-sensitive much?

Oh noes :o IP posting using Cathyy's account? Who'd have guessed it were possible.

With all due respect, Minister - I hardly think that anyone would notice, and indeed care, if TNP was yet again two weeks behind the rest of the world; we're not renowned for our speed in these matters.

When I'm delegate, I'll enforce a ban on all things 'JAL'

Nice flag, your excellency.

Several months have passed since the destruction of the RLA forums, Flem.

If I were delegate, I'd probably do a 'crazy Ivan' and see how many people I can kick out in an hour.

Faux-mystery is fun for no-one. I could go down the path of saying "You won't tell us who you are, therefore you have something to hide", but I cannot be bothered.

Aw man, that sounds awesome. I wonder why no-one has tried that yet. :rofl: Time for the NPD reunion tour, you think?

I have no objections, but I do wonder who Upper Kirby really is, considering his "excellent" knowledge of TNP under the reign of the Minister.

Ah, but this isn't real comrade. The threat of force is not an actual threat, but one of being 'banjected' from the region. Dictatorships exist in as much of a sense as this region exist; everyone realises that to remove the issue, you simply have to find a new region, but where is the fun in...

I think using this to open your thread might dissuade your targeted audience, comrade.

Argh! The commie chuckle! Don't do that in the negotiations, or they'll skin you alive :P

Exactly, I fought rather hard to afford the Ministry some autonomy, don't give it up so easily, Dalim.

The joys of being MoEA, eh?

We're not suggesting that all RA discussions be held in private, but that the option to hide sensitive discussions from prying eyes should be available.

Just out of interest, I would be willing to offer my services to Dalimbar as a ambassador to the NPO -- Just in case, ya know, wanted someone fun over there :P You know what strikes me most of all about this thread? Whilst I might not agree with some of the sentiments in here, it is really...
