I don't think plurality is sufficient, because as others have noted it could mean that a candidate is elected with a majority actually not supporting them. I don't think that's acceptable in a democracy, especially when it's not that cumbersome to hold run-off elections. I agree with those who...

I'm not going to get into a prolonged debate about this in the NPO's embassy request thread, but I did just want to point out that this isn't about ideology for all of us (though it may be a factor for some). I don't personally approve of the NPO's autocratic government, but I don't think...

I would note that The Pacific remains the only condemned Feeder or Sinker for its disregard for and violations of the sovereignty of its fellow Feeders and Sinkers, that it was condemned by 91% of the WA Security Council's voters at the time (including the Delegate of The North Pacific), and...

I'm okay with it on the condition that he fixes NS++. :P Which is to say, I support his admission.

It does currently contain both a schnauzer and a raven...

Against. If this were at least substantive and entertaining (i.e., authored by Mall!), I might consider voting for it for lulz, but there aren't even any lulz to be had here.

I do agree with r3n that renaming the Security Council to something not identical to the WA's second chamber, something like Security Commission, might have some merit. Renaming it to something like "Senate" that doesn't clearly express its purpose is what I'm opposed to.

Nation In TNP: Cormac Stark Current WA nation: Cormac Stark NPA Division: Special Forces Previous Military experience(If any): Extensive update raiding and defending experience, including advanced experience (i.e., triggering, operational lead nation, command). Other military or non-military...

I agree with this. When you get into the business of coming up with fancy names and titles, you end up with people not knowing what certain institutions do. Think about, for example, the themed Sinkers. Balder uses somewhat obscure (though at least contemporary and real life-based) Nordic...

No problem! If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them.

I just discovered that I still have masking to see the Communications Headquarters and Editor's Desk. This shouldn't be the case. May also want to check and ensure I don't have any other improper masking.

I, the leader of The North Pacific nation of Cormac Stark, pledge loyalty to The North Pacific, obedience to her laws, and responsible action as a member of her society. I pledge to only register one nation to vote in The North Pacific. I pledge that no nation under my control will wage war...

Could someone please remove my Minister masking? I resigned last week.

I regret to inform Delegate Eluvatar and the Regional Assembly that I must resign as Minister of Communications. Despite the timing, this has nothing to do with last night's now quite public events in The Rejected Realms. My mother is disabled and has been ill for quite some time, and this...

I'll go ahead and tentatively assign this to you, but if anyone else decides they want it over the next day or so, just post here. Thanks for volunteering, Bootsie!

Okay, thanks for letting us know!

Okay, thanks!

Both assigned. Thanks for volunteering! ^_^ As a note, I'll cover anything nobody volunteers to write, so if it seems like I'm getting the cushy interview it's just because I want to give people a chance to volunteer for what they'd rather write first. :P

Ladies and gents, it's time yet again to plan for Issue VII of The Northern Lights, with my personal guarantee that we will be actually getting it out this time. Unfortunately, all of the article drafts that were submitted during the two prior planning periods are outdated, so with my apologies...

This was a lot more fair than I expected. Well done. :P

And I'm expertly good at nagging you. :D

I'm conducting a roll call for the Communications team, to determine how many contributors we currently have to work with. Please post here indicating that you're still interested in contributing to The Northern Lights. This roll call will be open for five days.

Could I please have masking for Minister of Communications? Thanks! http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/7399603/

Anyone who isn't Unibot could, in theory, have my vote. :)

I'll have to put this on hold, I may unexpectedly be WA immobile soon.

I, Cormac, do hereby solemnly swear that during my term as Minister of Communications, 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...

Thank you for the appointment, it will be an honor to serve and I look forward to working with the rest of the Cabinet.
