Now that there are officially three root admins who can make the final call on admin requests, I would like to have mine resolved.
I lodged this request more than 3 weeks ago. That is a long time. If admin is intent on stonewalling the request for it to go in Magicality City, then it would be preferable for the other aspects of the request to be dealt with. 3 weeks is a long time to wait for some subforums.
Another suggestion would be to move the Map of The North Pacific to a subforum of Roleplay. Placing the University in Port Thel.
Other requests I have yet to have any response to since the initial lodgement:
Script upon registration request:
The response was that we would determine if this is safe and put it to use. We have had the response that it is safe. Has it been implemented yet or not?
Lastly about 10 days ago I made a request about Embassy Subforums:
This is important as the Minister and I plan to overhaul the foreign affairs department this term. I offered that I would be willing to create the subforums if made an Administrative assistant temporarily. The response I have received on IRC is "Why must this be done now". Frankly that's not good enough, in my opinion. I don't want this request in particular to be delayed until some undefined point in the future.
I'm aware that admin applications are open currently. However, I would like to know the status of some of these outstanding requests from up to 3 weeks ago, that were acknowledged at some point.

I have discussed with some of my Ministers the idea of a PM upon registration. This would help new members to find the appropriate area's of the board easily and will save time for the cabinet in welcoming people.
The script is as follows and goes "Below the Board":

Hello and welcome to the North Pacific's regional forums!
It's wonderful to have you join a large community of a large variety of members. To get you started, I would suggest reading our Welcome and Orientation FAQ. It should provide you with the necessary information to get you started in the regional forums.
These forums are very large and have a number of subforums. This can cause a lot of confusion and problems in regards to posting and getting around when you first arrive; thankfully, we have our updated TNP Yellow Pages to help. Simply bookmark the page and it should help you get around.
Finally, you may have some more questions about the North Pacific and these two threads may not give you all the answers. Fear not, because we have an entire FAQ Subforum. Currently, it is being redesigned and updated, so not all threads may be up to date at this time. If you have any questions the FAQs do not answer feel free to post your question here
Welcome to our regional forums, and enjoy your stay!
Yours Sincerely,
The North Pacific

Lastly about 10 days ago I made a request about Embassy Subforums:
My Minister of Foreign Affairs and I both agree that Embassy Row would be tidier if the Embassy threads were replaced with subforums.
It would also make it easier for the Foreign Envoys to find them, especially as the posts drop further back below the date threshold. It would also allow for the pinning of relevant treaties and other agreements in the individual embassies for easy reference.
Overall better organization, easier access. Blah blah.
I'm not asking this be done now, because currently we are working through inactive embassies and arching some. Just questioning the Admin Gods about whether this would be possible? I would be happy to set up the forums if the time factor is an issue. I would also move all relevant threads into their relevant embassy once the forums were made.

Frankly that's not good enough, in my opinion. I don't want this request in particular to be delayed until some undefined point in the future.
I'm aware that admin applications are open currently. However, I would like to know the status of some of these outstanding requests from up to 3 weeks ago, that were acknowledged at some point.
