Insight Into Taijitu: Interview With Sovereign Dixie
From left to right, Sovereign Dixie, PoD Gunner, Eluvatar and North Pacifican journalist look on disgusted as Insane Power exposes himself
Moma Khab's Cavern, Taijitu: After a long, tiring day reporting on various bills in the Taijitu Senate, I retreated to a bar to sooth my sorrows. Halfway through my second beer, to my surprise I noticed I was sitting next to the Taijituan Delegate, Sovereign Dixie. He gave me a hearty pat on the back, and ever the opportunist, I got out my notepad and pen and got interviewing.
The first question I asked was how Taijitu had become so successful in such a short time, with no hesitation he answered: 'The brilliance, dedication, and determination of it's members.' And so what has been the greatest accomplishment of his Delegacy? 'I myself, didnt achieve much, really. I was simply in the right place, at the right time, and most importantly, with the right group of players. During my first delegacy we pretty much set up every insitution in place currently in Taijitu, and that period seen all NS recruitment records shattered, I was very proud of all involved, and still am. I was becoming impressed with the modesty and quiet determination of this man, especially since he was going on his fourth beer.
I move on to ask about the direction of Taijitu foreign policy, Dixie thinks for a moment, 'No matter what form future governments in Taijitu take, I could easily see it being even more massive than it is already, and one of the core regions of the game.' With a smile he adds: 'Perhaps even rivaling feeders in size and relevance'. Intrigued, I ask about current relations with The Pacific regions. He nods, 'Well getting better, we've always enjoyed good solid relations with TNP, and TWP has recently become a valued friend of our region as well. We have cordial and stable relations with TP and no animosities with the other feeders.' Will Taijitu be taking a more aggressive line internationally? 'I think that largely depends on who's running the show. Stronger, I think most likely, aggressive, not so much, I don't think.'
As the night is beginning to grow old, finally we start discussing the darker, Lexiconian past of Taijitu. I ask whether Taijitu ever faces negativity on account of the actions of The Lexicon, 'That's one thing that I was surprised about, really, in that other regions never really seemed to view us, or expect us, to be like The Lexicon, at least not in so much as I am aware.' Interesting, I enquire as to whether there are still old wounds from the split. 'Well, we don't have any internal "fighting" per se, there is an element of friction at times, but then again, that's a part of any government, and especially vital in a game environment, as it helps to keep things interesting.' Nodding in agreement, I thank him, drain my Loopian ale and head out into the street.
