About this "survey"

Gracius Maximus

Gracius Maximus

Tyrant (Ret.)
I have been told by the Speaker that I must answer this survey or have my application to the Regional Assembly potentially rejected.

So I will do it here since I believe it to be asinine to ask me some of these questions I will be asinine in my method of responding.

Hi! Thank you for expressing an interest in the region of the North Pacific.

Can you please tell me which if any other regions you have been involved in? Any valuable experience gained would be a great benefit!

If yes, what role or position did you play?

Are their any other nations under your control?

Do you have any special skills IRL? Like a law degree or multilingual?

And finally, what you think about this shirt? Is tourquoise my colour? Oh wait nevermind...

Please note that the region is currently under attack, as such the application process may take a few days. If you have any concerns please feel free to ask me about anything on your mind. We have an unbelievably fun and exciting community here and we desperately hope that the venal designs of foreign imperialist don't ruin it for you here!

I will not comment on the Speaker's shirt or the color tourquoise as I find both to be completely irrelevant to any kind of service to the region and believe both questions to be idiotic in regards to whether or not a nation can serve in the Regional Assembly.

As far as imperialists go, I am one. I have always been one, I will always be one. Disparaging the acts of imperialists isn't a concern to me.
 
Can I ask a question...on record?

Hopefully, to every character u have so that u can't pull the duality card.
 
I should note that Gracius Maximus was not involved directly with the Crimson Order. Imhotep, a rogue adviser to The Minister, joined the Crimson Order in secret.
 
I apologize. I am not playing a game. But I do know that your dodgy with your responses at times.

if I gave you my nations password, what would you do with it? Rather, what would u do after you had a nation with a level of influence above minnow?

Interested in your intentions. Obviously, this is leading to something.
 
I would Banject all pouchies if I had your password.

I would ask you what your Influence level was first.
 
Speculation on what I would or would not do if provided with a password to a nation with sufficient Influence to remove all other high Influence nations isn't really germane to the discussion of my serving in the Regional Assembly.
 
My influence is Minnow,

I wonder is there is Tuna Influence too, Trout, Flounder, Salmon......
 
Dodgy. Well, I am not speculating...I am asking you. You are usually very up front and decisive. Why would you need to speculate on what you would do?

I believe intent is important in regards to our RA members.

Honestly, if u knew my intentions were to do harm...would you let me in?

But since your dodging a simple question...I don't expect a straight answer there either.

So I will simply deliver what I have to the proper authorities and let them decide.

That is unless...your willing to reveal it here Ivan?

Another question!! bah!!

You are incorrect.

I didn't say I was speculating, I said that doing such, from yourself and others, serves no purpose in this instance.

If I said I would eject all competitors and set up a revised NPD how would that equate to a desire to do harm to the region as a member of the RA?

Perhaps if you were more observant you would have seen my comment here explaining my view that working within the system given and approved by the Delegate is the best way to exact change when you are not in fact the Delegate.

If you are the Delegate and you decide to give me your password then you are the one making the decision to exact direct change to the region, not me after the fact.

My actions in such a situation should be a given.
 
Ah, I missed part of your question.

Please, feel free to provide IRC chats involving myself and a prominent member of the community to whomever you wish. Flippant conversation in which I ask for a password from a high Influence nation is fairly commonplace considering my history.

Such acts are more joke than intent but I am sure you will make a mountain out of such a molehill so that your office can abuse its position as you did last time you held it.
 
It would seem the Delegate-elect doesn't mind throwing baseless accusation around but closes up shop when the tables are suggested at turning.
 
Funny. I doubt it was "just" a joke.

I am not in office. Your just upset over my actions in the past because it stopped any attempts by your old partners to remove the government we had in place. Sorry. My bad.

"mountain out of such a molehill"...right Quotes from Ivan:

I find that incredibly difficult to believe. Hypocrisy at its best.

Ignoring the rule of law as written by the offsite pretenders is something typically reserved for Tyrants. I would know.

The moral foundation of many, including the Election Commissioner, the Delegate-Elect and the High Judge, is that the written constitution outweighs the whims of the ingame elected Delegate.

I am known as an advocate of the Delegate's right to supercede any offsite constitution, code of law, codex, civil code, etc. I have thrown out several in my time.

External invasion of a feeder without internal support can not work, there should be no "fear" associated with the designs of either the Empire or Gatesville in this regard.

I think this makes my point. No need for me to post further. U may make your statements about the veterans, cabinet members, government structures...mole hills till that Gauntlet you wear rusts away. Be my guest....u have that right...enjoy it.

**Cisco stops piling dirt on the mole hill....mountain...no...mole hill**
 
I would also point out that at least two members of the Cabinet consider me to be a non-issue and/or a hasbeen so the interest from such a high level towards my intent to be in the base legislative body of the region is a bit odd.

The Speaker of the RA doesn't even know me and Outer Kharkistania has flatout called me a hasbeen in a couple of threads. Surely these opinions should rule the day?

No one should have concerns over poor ol' Ivan, right? ;)

Umm, I believe you grant yourself a bit too much importance as far as my history is concerned.

You were a bit player in my game when I was in control. When I voluntarily stepped down as Delegate I held no concern whatsoever for the complete screwup that followed by my "partners".

As to any theatrics that come along with my postings on almost any forum, you should be thankful. I bring energy, sometimes good, sometimes bad, but energy nonetheless. People do still show up to see my show.
 
I would also like to point out that I find it amusing that you would take quotes from me out of context in order to make some fabricated "point" when so many in context quotes could have accomplished the same feat so much better.

It is amusing that you believe the recent issue of you skirting the written Constitution is simply a molehill that I expanded upon as well.

You are a has-been because nobody in their right mind trusts you enough to give you any power or privilege.

Oh come on, surely you can do better than that? I know you got kicked out of The Pacific onto your ass because of incompetence and the standards here aren't nearly as high, but surely you can at least do something aside from making yourself look moronic?

Tresville can at least throw up some out of context posts, Flemingovia writes funny poems until you say he is an IC terrorist, then he gets weepy.

Do you have nothing to offer aside from an emoticon?

Well said. In my opinion, any good energy must have landed elsewhere, because whenever Ivan has set foot in TNP, from twoslit and the s2 forum through the present day, it has been nothing but bad energy. Like a foul wind with an ugly attitude.

As for the matter of the RA application, the RA is what it is, and we are a democracy. We are supposed to let folks vote, even if they are notoriously vile.
 
I do know you! I was around with the same name during NPD. I've also been banned by Franco, a real dictator.

You know GBM, that's a great idea. Let's have a vote!
