Gorundu:
Who is in The North Pacific Today's Executive Council? I'd like to know who's voting on these things behind the scenes.

It's not really a official council. It's more like me, the Vice-Editor, and some RMB suggestions, along with asking some experienced TNPers on who the would pick. While of course, looking for influential RMB posters, and people making influential changes, or being a good model, here on the forums.

So you haven't yet chosen who will be voting on this? You also said the Executive Council voted to remove French Austria as Vice Editor and disband TNPBC. Who voted in those?

As I said before, I have, and provided examples. And French Austria was removed a couple days ago, and now I just appointed Peylikz, who is a long friend of mine, a good articles writer, who I convinced to make a nation on NS. He is currently serving as the new Vice-Editor. And me, with some advice, decided to remove French Austria. While the TNPBC decision was made solely by me, because despite the lack of support, I thought it would take too much time and effort and decided to save it for later, while technical difficulties, forced me to.

You said you provided examples but I don't see you naming anyone except yourself and Vice Editor Peylikz. Also, you've completely changed your story on removing French Austria and disbanding TNPBC from "it was a vote by the executive council" to "I made the decision with some advice".
 
The North Pacific Today Person of The Week Award: RESULTS
Summary: @Gorundu is picked, @Tringapore is picked, and @Marcus Antonius is picked.
@Gorundu:
Gorundu has always certainly been someone to keep an eye out for, that's for sure. The rising-star politician, is bursting through the ranks, and is a likely contender for many high-office positions. Besides this, Gorundu was just appointed Election Commissioner days ago, by Delegate MadJack. His appointment to the office received little or no resistance besides Bobberino's comment below:
Do you have a plan to deal with @Gorundu's known body odor issue?
Click to expand...
Apart from this, Gorundu just authored the Election Law Fix, a document which could be very influential in changing the Election Law's wording. We wish good luck for Gorundu's bill, and congratulate him on his win!
@Tringapore:
Apart from being one of, if not the coolest person in all of TNP. Tringapore is a very friendly person, who participates in various ministries, and is a big advocate for most of them. Besides that, Tringapore's friendly spirit won the heart's of many new-comers, who settled in TNP, learned the rules, and rose high in the ranks because of him. I was one of these people. Tringapore is a very accomplished, and beloved symbol of TNP, we wish him good luck, a congrats, and a wish to continue his fabulous work!
Ethnon (@Marcus Antonius):
Ethnon, or Marcus, as many know him. Is arguably the aviation King of TNP. This member has commited himself to serving his region, as being a member of the Security Council. Besides this, Marcus is widely liked by the masses, and is one of TNP's most popular/richest cards entrepreneurs. He is also author of the incredibly popular "Cardiff International Airport Update" which hundreds view weekly. Apart from all of this, his friendliness and welcoming nature is appealing to many TNPers. Ethnon is truly what you would call a model TNPer.
Thank you for reading, and congratulations to all the winners! And who knows? YOU could be the next TNPer of the week!
Winners may pick up their certificates below:
@Gorundu's Certificate:

I just badly worded my decision. No change of story was made. I also named some advice I take from high-rank officials, and ordinary people on the RMB. Is there anything wrong with that?
 
Gorundu:
Why can't you name them? There's no public accountability if we don't know who they are.

List of Executives / Executive Council of The North Pacific Today:
@Nubt II of Mortipal / CEO, Chairman, Head Editor, and Founder
Peylikz / Vice-Editor, COO, Chief Human Resources Officer
AC Inc. / Head Secretariat, CFO
Cnpr / Head Manager, Chief Administrative Officer
Heck Land / Deputy Head Manager, Chief Information, Technology, and Marketing Officer

Thank you for the information. However, I have found that Cnpr and Heck Land are not even in The North Pacific, while there is no nation by the name of AC Inc. Peylikz is in The North Pacific but has not posted on the RMB or have a forum account as far as I can see. They are clearly not "high-rank officials" or even "ordinary people on the RMB".

Also, regarding your description of myself in the award, I have served in ministerial and elected government positions previously, so I think the characterization of myself as a "rising-star" politician is inaccurate.

You are a rising-star in my eyes
 
Gorundu is a rising star, I always said he’d make the election commission. Ask anyone, believe me, I’ve said that many times - more than anyone. Many others said that it would never happen, and they’ve been completely wrong. I wrote a book about it. Great guy that Gorundu, and believe me I know a lot of great guys. He’s one of the greatest.

I barely convinced them to join NS, anyways. They're barely active on it. However, AC Inc. is short for Asher Corporations Inc. I agree, and I think the description would sound better if I said growing politician, or expereinced, but still rising politician. Just another example of my bad wording skills ( :bigdoh: ). I'm still learning to be a reporter after all!

Same to you. Me, along with hundreds of others probably got used to TNP's fun, friendly, welcoming spirit mainly because of your welcoming, good advice, and instructions to newcomers. Thanks!

I've secretly been spying on your old messages for a while (apologies, reporters nosiness/instincts, LOL), yes, I have seem to notice your good predictions on his future. Between you and me, provided MadJack doesn't run for a second term, his only competitor for the Delegacy would be Sir Kasto. I'd strongly encourage him to run next term, provided MadJack doesn't run. Although I'd be dissapointed if the result of that race would immitate the Robespierre v. Nimarya race, where high-rank official's (including you, as a Outgoing Delegate, back then) support for Nimarya didn't stop Robes from winning.

Is Gorundu Running For Delegate? Would He Win?​

(PREDICTIONS / RHETORICAL INTERVIEW / TNP / NEWS) 3:13 EST, The Election Commission Building, Magicality City, The North Pacific. On a suggestion from Justice @Pallaith (Thanks!), Head-Editor Nubt II ordered a special article to be conducted on the topic above. So, everybody can tell that Gorundu has been quickly rising the past few months, despite his already-expereince. First as Minister, Deputy, Speaker, etc.; and now as Election Commissioner (as appointed by Delegate MadJack). So... waht comes next for the experienced, but still rising star? Our political analysts here at The North Pacific Today are split on what comes next. Is he running for Delegate? That's a question better left unanswered, however, provided he does, Gorundu has a very big chance. "If MadJack isn't running, then Sir Kasto is really his (Gorundu's) only competitor". This is because, Sir Kasto, has already shown interest at a Delegacy run next term, as proved by The North Pacific Today's recent interview. So, the question is, who would win? Well, a big hit for his expectations was in the recent May General Elections where Nimarya, who was supported by the majority of high-rank officials--including then Outgoing-Delegate McMasterdonia--while Robespierre, left his fate with the masses. The result was a shock. Robespierre won in a slim margin, as listed below:
May 2021 General Election Results (Delegate):
Robespierre: 59 Votes (51.30%)
Nimarya: 53 Votes (46.30%)
2 And 2 Is Fish: 3 Votes (2.61%)
Even further disappointing results came with the recent September General Elections Results where MadJack, who was the underdog, and less supported by high-rank officials, soundly defeated the more high-rank supported Dreadton, in another Robespierre v. Nimarya imitation, as listed below:
September 2021 General Election Results (Delegate):
MadJack: 51 Votes (57.30%)
Dreadton: 34 Votes (38.20%)
MTDemocracy: 3 Votes (3.37%)
Comfed: 1 Vote (1.12%)
So, these elections certainly prove that high-rank support, endorsement, or backing, does not ensure the results; especially after the last two general elections. However, I'd like to quote Mark Twain, who said, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.". In this case meaning, that previous outcomes may not be the same, but they might be similar. We at The North Pacific Today, conducted, for your pleasure, a EPEP (Early Predictionary Election Poll), on an Sir Kasto v. Gorundu possibility. An EPEP counts it's results based on a individual basis, and uses their prior votes to, if any, to predict a result. Here were the results:
January 2022 General Elections EPEP (Delegate)
Gorundu: 45 Votes (50.56%)
Sir Kasto: 37 Votes (41.57%)
Abstain: 7 Votes (7.86%)
So, this outcome is radically different than the previous two elections. However, these results aren't very accurate, because votes change, people leave, and new (potential voters) immigrants come in. So for now, all we can do is wait. This is The North Pacific Today, reporting from The Election Commission Building, Magicality City, The North Pacific.​

How was the Early Predictionary Election Poll conducted? How many responses were there?
Click to expand...
Conducting an EPEP is pretty simple. I stored the names of every single person who voted in the September General Elections, and used their votes in that election (and previous ones, if they are older members) to predict on who they might vote for in a Gorundu v. Sir Kasto possibility. However, EPEP's aren't very functional, or accountable, because people's opinions change, and sometimes they make un-expected vote changes, depending on many things, some being on the candidate him/herself, outside influence, or something entirely different. Thanks for asking!
Sir Kasto:
y = mx + b

y = your votes

How do you extrapolate results from an election with completely different candidates? How does choosing between Madjack and Dreadton correlate to choosing between Kasto and myself?

And even ignoring that, the model completely ignores the effect of platforms. If I had to vote in the last delegate election based on the candidate’s names only, I’d just flip a coin.

New South Arctica Card's Market Value Booms! From 0.45 To 6.00!​
(CARDS / FINANCIAL / BUSINESS) 5:29 EST, Magicality City Cards Exchange, Magicality City, The North Pacific. Today, our financial analysts recorded one of the sharpest rises in card history. This sharp rise was of a raiding organization, (The Black Hawk’s) WA-Delegate, New South Arctica (hereby referred to as NSA). NSA’s card sharply rose from about 0.45 market value, to 6.00 market value in a little over a week. So, what happened? Our correspondents here at the MCCE (Magicality City Cards Exchange) can answer that question. Over the recent weeks, our analysts have noticed a certain trader (Northeast Mayfly) who buyed the card at a vast over-price. Mayfly paid a shocking 60.00 for the card, naturally increasing the card’s market value by 10% of the buy amount (60.00). Many card-owners who previously had a low bid or the card immediately removed it, fearing a under-priced buy, and losing all the new profit value, most people are holding on to this card, and many are grasping to buy it. So what do you think? Be sure to like our posts and interact on our threads! As for me, this is The North Pacific Today, reporting from the Magicality City Cards Exchange, Magicality City, The North Pacific. ​

If any are upset with the recently published Issue 1-R because of it's short article, non-political article, etc. Please stay in tune, Issue 1-S is expected to be about 3-4 articles tall. And, psst... it's gonna involve the RA and GA bills. And guess what? There's critique, and a full summary of the bills, along with quotes from local/WA debates. So stay in tune, fellow political-nerds!

P.S. Issue 1-S is to be released on 10/14/21. The "TNPer of The Week" Program is to be released tomorrow. And I'll release the meme's of the day, and meme's that match the current situation soon, like 30 minutes from now. Thanks!
