Response period closes on the 29th of January.

What was your favourite NS moment of 2017?

For me it was moving to TNP and joining WA Affairs.

What are your new years NS resolutions?

I only have one, and that is to become more active on the WA forums and be more involved in helping draft resolutions over the coming year.

What are you most looking forward to this year?

Honestly I'm looking forward to seeing what comes through the World Assembly in the coming months, from what I've seen on the gameside forum, it's going to be an interesting year!

How do you feel about the January General Election?

Absolutely fantastic! Gladio was my candidate of choice, his long history of service and dedication to TNP made it easy to back him. As for the other government officials, I think that the voters made the right choices. Siwale, Goy and Darc have done an excellent job in their respective offices since they were elected and definitely earned another term in office.

Where do you want to see yourself in NationStates and our community one year from now?

One year from now? I'm not really too sure aha, wherever it is, as long as I'm doing what I can to be of service to the community, I'll be satisfied.

What was your favourite NS moment of 2017?

Passing my NPA Officer test a few months ago, certainly. I'd already failed one test and I was stupidly nervous about it all, so successfully leading my first operation and becoming an officer on the spot was pretty euphoric; I'd been a Sergeant for so long because I was too nervous to lead an operation and breaking through that glass ceiling felt fantastic, and doubtless facilitated my eventual appointment as MoD by Gladio.

What are your new years NS resolutions?

They're twofold; doing the best job I can in TNP in whatever role I have and properly balancing out RL and NS. Don't underestimate the importance of the latter.

What are you most looking forward to this year?

My term as MoD; it's a whole new world to me and I'm excited to see what I can do in this term. It's proven far easier than I had imagined, though that's probably a bit of an overstatement considering that the NPA is grounded right now so we're not organizing any operations yet, doubtless I'll have more on my hands before very long.

How do you feel about the January General Election?

Seeing Gladio running was both wonderful and unusual, and every office had one or more exemplary candidates running for it. That, as well as the high turnout rate, made this my favourite election to date. I've missed one or two already, being involved in this one has convinced me to not miss any more.

Where do you want to see yourself in NationStates and our community one year from now?

Hopefully doing my best in TNP and not banned.

What was your favourite NS moment of 2017?
Joining the NPA was probably my favorite moment of the year. That served as the launching point for me becoming more involved in TNP as a whole.

What are your new years NS resolutions?
My resolution is to continue is to aid the MoD however I can, and ensure the NPA is just as active in 2018.

What are you most looking forward to this year?
I'm most looking forward to hopefully getting in to RP as I should have more time to write this semester.

How do you feel about the January General Election?
I was happy to see Gladio run, as he has been something a mentor for me since I first joined the TNP. Despite all the drama we also had record turn out and some close, exciting races. I think that really speaks to how dedicated the TNP community is.

Where do you want to see yourself in NationStates and our community one year from now?
Hopefully still working in the NPA and Executive staff

1. What was your favourite NS moment of 2017?

It would have to be N-Day, and Josephtan acheiving martyrdom.

2. What are your new years NS resolutions?

To be more active in the departments of TNP that I am part of, and perhaps to join more.

3. What are you most looking forward to this year?

N-Day, Z-Day, and more joint operations with other militaries.

4. How do you feel about the January General Election?

It was exciting to see the candidates be neck in neck; however, Lord Ravenclaw's pull-out of NS put a damper on it, as well as the contention of a defaced ballot which, I felt, was not settled amicably.

5. Where do you want to see yourself in NationStates and our community one year from now?

Hopefully, I'll be able to have become a General at that point. Being able to contribute meaningfully to the departments I am in and may join is also a hope of mine.

What was your favourite NS moment of 2017?

I can't say. I was hiding. In hibernation. Lurking, that is. Which is what I should have done for the most part since game started.



What are your new years NS resolutions?

be nice to people - even the ones who are not so nice to me. Eat more cheese. The good stuff.



What are you most looking forward to this year?


Getting back into being more involved.



How do you feel about the January General Election?

Well, I didn't get to vote because the server that hosts the forum kept kicking my connection (a glitch involving FireFox browser which wasn't easy to fix at my end). I would have voted for McMasterdonia who lost by one vote. Never say one's vote doesn't count.
