Now, before Lamb and Funkadelia start laughing at this thread, I think that it is important that we only look forward in this election, not back. As many people have said, reminiscing and complaining will not bring the PRL or HRL back to us. Therefore, I am asking you for a second chance to institute an action plan for Lazarus. So what do we do? Rethinking the Archdiocese: It has become clear that the Archdiocese have become massive failures. So here is my simple proposal: Institute a Civil Service Program: The Civil Service would allow people to join the Archdiocese where their talent can best be used for the betterment of the region. Applicants would be asked questions that relate to each of the Committees and placing them in the committee that they most alignment. The Defender of the Realm and the Archbishops would be responsible for running the the Civil Service. Endotarting awards and gameside competitions: As constantly noted, there is a large disconnect between the Lazarene Gameside and Forumside. To solve this, we need to encourage government sponsored programs to increase gameside involvement in the region, and start recruiting these people for forumside activites. What I propose is for us to have flag and art competitions gameside, and recruit those people to join the forums. The possibilities are endless, as we could have short story competitions and other things. What I also propose is the start of an Endotarting discussion, and the implementation of a program much like we see in TNP with the World Assembly Development Program, which rewards people for endotarting. Staying Active Staying active has never been a problem for me, I have been continuously active for 3 years on this site, with only short breaks for a few days. Needless to say, I'm here to stay. So yeah, that's my platform and my ideas for Lazarus. I could go on more about region wide telegrams or integration, but all we need to do is put in the effort to make these things happen. And I will.

Anything where you're relying on people to apply requires... People to apply. Look at the Gazette thread. It's never frequented. So, how do you propose getting people into this program of yours? Also, do you have any plans on doing anything with Lazarus's military, and if you do, what are they? And another thing. It seems you're trying to focus more on the culture side of things. Why go for Defender of the Realm, instead of, I don't know, the Archbishop of Culture (I do believe that's a thing, right? :P) I'm aware that's an appointed position, but if you actually got things started you could easily convince any Sovereign to appoint you, because not many people do things involving that without already having positions. Anyway, why are you going for Defender of the Realm, instead of working with our Sovereign and going for a culture position when most of your plan is cultural?

However, I'm less supportive of your idea on a civil service program - people should be allowed to join multiple Archidioceses if they feel so inclined to participate on that level, and managing a program so essential to the government that would not be managed by the Delegate/Sovereign, the head of government, rubs me the wrong way. That being said, the Defender of the Realm doesn't even manage such policy in the first place and I think a more appropriate venue for this would be attempting to legislate as such in the Cosmic Council, so my opposition to the civil service idea ultimately has little bearing on my decision on whether or not to support your candidacy.

Applicants would be asked questions that relate to each of the Committees and placing them in the committee that they most alignment. The Defender of the Realm and the Archbishops would be responsible for running the the Civil Service. They aren't massive failures, in my opinion. Half of the positions we created weren't even appointed by our last Sovereign who was responsible for doing that. I don't think we should throw out something that hasn't even been utilized at all yet because of the bad Sovereign supposed to be managing them. Also what you're suggesting is basically how the Archdiocese already work, except making it an application process. Anyone can take part in the committees as they are and the only duty of the Archbishops is to manage that activity and kind of pave the way for them. I understand the idea of kind of surveying our people to see where they would fit the best, but we can do that with a simple thread for those that are unsure where they'd like to help, but want to help. Or at least, that's how I would do it. I don't think giving the DotR the explicit power to run the something like that relating to the committees is really necessary either. Before my unexpected RL junk, I intended on establishing a "jobs-board" for the region that would list areas where people could assist across the region and have a sign-up for citizens to pick what they're interested in most. I still think we should implement something like that, whether I'm the one to do it or not. Other than that, I mostly agree with what you're aiming for, though I don't necessarily think getting residents endotarting should be a primary focus, when most likely disregard or are oblivious to our endorsement cap laws. Little contests have always proven to provide some sort of activity though, whether it brings residents to the forum or just engages us already here. Edited by Lamb, Mar 31 2017, 02:00 AM.

Becoming Archbishop of Culture would be a great role to get my ideas out there. As for the Military, I wouldn't touch it, but I do think it should be included in the Civil Service. I would allow people to be allowed in more than one Committee, though

I agree with you, but I think the DOTR needs a defined role, otherwise they're just sitting there, like Doperland did. The Civil Service plays to giving the DOTR a role and making Vice Delegate like a Minister without Portfolio

That is the role. We can't just tack additional powers and responsibilities onto it. That takes away from the powers and responsibilities that are elsewhere.

So, what are you running for? DoTR is essentially a security position. If you want to be Archbishop of Culture, don't run for DoTR. Constie I would allow people to be allowed in more than one Committee, though That's already law.
