What do you mean 'rumor'? :rofl:

Lord Nwahs:
What do you mean 'rumor'?
Hey now, let's not subject Tomb to that kind of pressure. He needs an out, since even mentioning the oligarchy is like tap dancing in a minefield. :boom
I really think that's an understatement :P
 
Hey guys. Sorry, but this show had technical difficulties, so we didn’t air as planned. However, we will be airing today for sure at the expected time. Falap’s suggestion will be discussed on Sunday night’s show. And McM, this will be done as a post in this thread. I hope that answers all questions.

Sorry again for the delay.

Mr. Toms: Hello everyone and welcome to an exciting episode of our show. Today, we have Tomb, the Vice Delegate candidate for the 2015 General Election. Tomb, thank you so much for joining us tonight.

Tomb: No problem, glad to be here.

Mr. Toms: So first of all, and to make this as brief as possible as I do know that you have plenty of election planning to do, would you like to get started right ahead?

Tomb: Sure.

Mr. Toms: Ok, Tomb. So let’s get our voters familiarized with who you are. When did you join the region?

Tomb: I joined the region on March 4, 2014. I have been playing Nation States for about 9 months now.

Mr. Toms
: Wow! It looks like you have achieved a lot over the past nine months. Can you tell us a bit about your resume?

Tomb: Yes, of course. In the period of these nine months, I have been part of the Regional Assembly, part of The North Pacific Army, and part of the Executive Staff. I have also been serving as Minister of Home Affairs for about 5 months, which has given me a lot of insight in the operation of the Cabinet and the Executive Staff in general. In addition to that, as part of the Home Affairs staff, I enjoy working directly with new comers, training them, and see them go and prosper in The North Pacific. I have also outlined this in my candidacy declaration thread located right Here.
I am also part of the Diplomatic Corps, a journalist for The Northern Lights, and I am serving as a deputy minister for the Communications Ministry. That’s it for now. Although, I do hope that Vice Delegate will be added to the resume soon.

Mr. Toms: Okay, Tomb. I find it really amazing how you managed to do so much in nine months. Before I go on, let me ask you, why are you running for Vice Delegate? Why not continue to work in Home Affairs?

Tomb: The reason I am running for the position of Vice Delegate is because I would like to contribute more to The North Pacific. I have been in the cabinet, the Regional Assembly, the North Pacific Army, and many other organizations, and I have gained so much experience and knowledge. Huge thanks to The North Pacific community for accepting me and giving and mentoring me. I now feel obliged to return the favor. I want the people who had mentored me, and The North Pacific to be proud through seeing me contribute in a greater scale as Vice-Delegate of the region. But above all, I want to be Vice-Delegate to keep this region secure and to gain a higher level of experience in the Executive branch of the government.

Mr. Toms: Thank you for that. Now, would you mind talking about RL?

Tomb: Of course not.

Mr. Toms: Okay, can you start by telling us anything that you want your voters to know about you?

Tomb: Well, hmmm…. Where should I start? First of all, I’m a freshman in College planning to major in biochemistry in the long/short run, depending on how you look at it. My interests vary. I love sightseeing. I have been to the Niagara Falls, the Giza Pyramids, the Grand Canyon, Eiffel Tower, and a couple of other lesser known locations that I absolutely love and think that life is not the same without seeing them. In addition to that, I love traveling, and I have been to Mexico, Canada, England and Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Russia, Egypt, and Turkey. Reading is a hobby that I absolutely adore and love. I am currently reading two books, Gray Mountain and Gone Girl, two very interesting and good books so far. I love food, but my favorite meals are international foods. By far, Middle Eastern, Italian, and Mexican meals are on top of my food favs. And then comes, my interest in politics. I like following up on politics and seeing what’s happening where, and everything of that sort. However, I do try and keep my political views to myself and not to offend anyone with my beliefs at all.

Mr. Toms: How would you describe your political ideology?

Tomb: This has been asked before, and like I said before, I am a democratic socialist, and that’s something that I grew up with. It has rarely influenced my actions though, and I have always voted for the candidate I personally feel would be right for the job, not based on their political party, etc.

Mr. Toms: Thank you so much for that, Mr. Tomb. Two final questions before I let you go for the night, and hand it over to the audience for questions. First of all, if there was a moment where you really felt joy in The North Pacific when would that be? And secondly, when are you planning to release your campaign thread?

Tomb: I got a message from a member whose no longer with us, but he was one of the first TNPers I ever mentored. In that message he thanked me for all I did to mentor him and teach him about TNP. At that moment, and even though his message was so simple, it made me feel very… happy. As for releasing my campaign thread, well, it’s coming very, very soon. But I can’t reveal all my cards, now, can I?

Mr. Toms: Alright, Tomb. That’s it for today’s show. Tomorrow we will be covering a topic suggested by the good old Mr. Falap.

(The screen goes black. Thank you for watching everyone. And stay tuned to another exciting episode tomorrow night.)
 
Interesting bio Tomb. You've been busy. :yes:

In keeping with the context of your talk show premiere, I have a few questions:

1. Is there a book you've read that you would consider life changing? If yes, name it.
2. Your favorite TV show? (if you watch TV that is)
3. Who do you consider an NS/TNP role model?

I'll be sure to check in for tomorrow's episode. ;)
 
1.You know, Falap, that’s probably one of the hardest questions I have ever been asked. I usually pull out something from each book, and most books, no matter what subject they’re about, give you some knowledge. A lot of the time, how I write, speak, and my overall values is really based not one book but all that I read. Although, I will look through my book shelf and let you know of a book that has majorly impacted me.
2.Currently, I am glued onto the Walking Dead, before that, I was glued onto Dr. Who and Breaking.
3.Does it have to be one? I really have many role models in TNP. Of course, McM and r3n are two that I always look up to. They are really responsible, punctual, organized, and friendly. Gladio is another role model that I always look up to. His ability to teach and train you is really awesome, and I always remember him whenever I am mentoring a new forum member.

And I am glad you're keeping up. Tomorrow's topic is going to be a good one!

Tomb:
2. Currently, I am glued onto the Walking Dead, before that, I was glued onto Dr. Who and Breaking.
:tb2: My current top 3 is: The Walking Dead ( still trying to process what happened in the mid-season finale.. damn you Scott Gimple! :shakefist: ), Dr. Who (Peter Capaldi is running with it imo), and Constantine ( a newer show, but I was hooked on the Hellblazer comics for awhile back in the day).
 
Mr. Toms: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to another exciting and thrilling episode of the Toms and Tomb show. Once again, the great Tomb joins us for another intriguing session. Tomb, welcome to our show again tonight.

Tomb: Thank you for having me again :P

Mr. Toms: Well, Tomb, to get down to the subject, we’ll be discussing a topic suggested by the good old Mr. Falap. His suggestion is: “Address the persistent rumor that TNP is governed (behind the scenes) by a shadowy cabal known as the 'oligarchy'.” So can you do that for us tonight?

Tomb: Sure thing!

Mr. Toms: Well, get us started, sir.

Tomb: I have always heard of those rumors, however personally, and I am not trying to alter anyone’s beliefs, but I do not to recognize an “oligarchy” in TNP. The North Pacific is the best region that anyone can end up in NationStates. We have so many opportunities for everyone, and everyone’s voice and suggestions are always taken into account. It’s very easy and simple to become part of our legislative body and to be able to vote on amendments to our constitution or to be able to stand for office and/or vote for your favorite candidate (me). I personally joined TNP a new member. I put in a lot of work and effort in the Home Affairs Ministry, and I was promoted to a Cabinet Minister. It was never a power deal or a conspiracy that got me to my position. What I am trying to say is that The North Pacific is a democratic region. Every regional assembly member has a vote and really anyone who takes the oath to obey the laws of The North Pacific can join. These members are the lawmakers of TNP, and they are the ones who decide through their direct votes who gets elected and what gets changed. There has been many times where the RA has decided to recall members, and so they did. So in the midst of the democracy we have here, no, I do not believe that there’s an “oligarchy” running TNP.

Mr. Toms: Alright, thank you so much for the answer. We have another suggested question by an anonymous person. The question is “do you approve of state religion?”

Tomb: Personally, I do think that a state religion is cool in-game. In real life, though, I do want to practice whatever religion pleases me. However, this is a game, and there’s nothing wrong with having a religion represent our region. Flemingovia worked very hard on Flemingoviasm and he must have worked very hard to get RA members to approve it. And I admire that. I believe that Flemingovianism has benefitted this region’s culture, and thus, I am a believer ;)

Mr. Toms: Well, Tomb, that’s it for tonight. Thank you so much for coming and we look forward to another meeting tomorrow.

(The screen goes black. Thank you for watching everyone. And stay tuned to another exciting episode tomorrow night.)
 
falapatorius:
Interesting responses to tough questions Tomb. :clap: (somewhat non-controversial though.. as to be expected ;) )
Well, Falap, we wouldn't want a controversial vice-delegate now, would we? :P

And guys, please feel free to send in any topic suggestions. I have answered all suggested topics thus far.

Thank you,

~ Tomb
 
Mr. Toms: Ladies and gentlemen, we’re sad to announce the cancelation of today’s episode. This is due to real life obligations that kept Tomb from attempting the interview.
However, Tomb’s conscious didn’t allow him to leave his voters, which are going to be voting Tomb for Vice Delegate, without entertainment.

And so he presents the following ads until tomorrow's episode:

Enjoy and see you all tonight for another great episode in our show!
