As for Lamb's criticism of Loft. He holds very true concerns of Loft's past actions. However, he's descended past the point of providing real criticism for him and is just holding personal attacks on Loft's demeanor. I was pointing out the fact that Lamb wasn't helping any by saying that Loft is trying to "hide" from criticism. This is presumably why Loft responded to him the first couple of times and just stopped after a while.

So it's justified that he refrains from responding or acknowledging anything because I pointed out that he's doing so? And to be clear, just because my observations are blunt, doesn't mean they're by any means personal attacks. That interpretation is really serving to do nothing but attempt to discredit the concerns I've brought up.

If you don't like the heat, stay out of the kitchen, boo.

Yet, you seem to only come out of your hole when you see opportunity for some sort of personal gain. The region has been struggling for some time, yet none of us have seen you come around and supply input or aid in efforts to change things. You instead point fingers and claim everyone else is the problem. Weird.

I have a question for you Loftegen. Assuming you win, would you be willing to work with me and a few other people on revamping Lazarus's military? It's not a point of pride, and that's something having the Sovereign working on would be nice. And if you don't win, would you still do any of the reforms you might do if you won? Or is your plan if you win to retain the status quo?

Yeah I think that this has become a big campaign issue. The THI is nothing like the old LLA. I believe that there needs to be a serious revamp on the THI. (A name change won't hurt)

Also, the other Sovereign candidate has said that he is willing to discuss dissolving the THI due to its current state of disrepair. Do you hold the same position or are you absolutely committed to the THI?

I'm not sure why you're focused so much on Funk's comment about THI. It seemed much more like "we need to discuss more about the military, and lay out all our options" than "I'm thinking about shutting it down". You're construing his opinions a bit much, methinks.

As for lamb's criticism of Loftegen, if your nation was illegally ejected from the region and no one did anything about it, would you be upset? If that same person then also changed the whole gameside appearance of the region and refused to cooperate with the legitimate government? Lamb has some pretty legitimate concerns.

@Loft: how can we trust that you'll stay loyal to the elected, rightful government and laws of Lazarus when you've repeatedly broken those very laws and then shrugged them off? A meme or a flippant response doesn't work, we already know you're the most active on the RMB. But Sovereign does not equate to RMB Poster of the Year Award. How can you prove, how do we know, that you'll be a trustworthy and cooperative Sovereign?

I like your ideas, but I can't support you if I can't trust in you as the leader of the region.

As for the Great Memefication, that was just a goof. Funk's been bitching about inactivity since my second term, so I thought I'd stir the pot a bit. I assumed (mistakenly, it seems) that the fact that all the Regional Officers remained, and that the links to the forum and Discord were still up, that people would realize that I wasn't serious. If I had been, my first move would have been to banject Funk, and then do away with the forum and Discord access. Could I have handled it better? Sure. Still, I don't believe I did anything wrong, no matter how much Funk freaks out when you change the RMB (St. Patrick's Day 2016 anyone?).

Is this what it's come to? Are wacky antics and amusing hijinks from the delegate all we have left?

That's not an unserious question at this point.

I think that part of the problem we face is that certain people take this game too seriously. They ignore, or outright discourage, play styles they don't like. That, and recent Sovereigns simply haven't been very active, in the forums or on the RMB. It takes activity to breed activity; when I was Sovereign I made an effort to be on every day, and to acknowledge and support other people's efforts to play the game their way, rather than trying to get them to play my way. I'm not gonna promise that I will actually fix our 'inactivity problem', but I'll try, and not just by proposing some new government program, but by being active myself.

Really?!!
