Lazarene Regional Guard Amendment (2020)

[McChimp]

The majority of people voted in favour - just not the majority required. Clearly NR and the people who have offered actual feedback disagree with you.

I don't dispute that there are people in favour. My dispute is that it's unlikely, given the short span of time that has passed, that more people are in favour and therefore this proposal can only have been remade in the hopes that we will tire of arguing against it.

It definitely isn’t. The Guard is limited, and while Sylven and Melons have been running things well, you’re inevitably going to end up with an inactive and bored military if all they can do is walk into the same Warzones over and over again. This was a problem when I ran the Guard and I don’t think it isn’t an issue now.

Since you left the role, the Guard has been hailed by other regions as the most active sinker military. The idea that the Guard would be made more active by allowing tags/detags is simply a lie, and it really upsets me to see our newer players eating it out of the hands of people who have a conflict of interest with regards to this matter.

Given the government exists to serve the region, if your government department believes that, should this law pass with the sufficient majority among citizens, their objectives are threatened, perhaps your government department should rethink if it’s objectives truly serve the region and, by extension, the citizens.

Our objectives are no more complex than being friends with as many great regions as possible. I think that some of the people in favour of this bill don't realise what a mess it makes of that goal, how much of the wider world it will close off. I think that others still know this well, and are pursuing the objectives of other regions here.

Even in the few weeks since I took this position it has astonished me the goodwill Lazarus has recieved from every corner of gameplay because of our uninvolvement in R/D. Aside from the NPO, who we're obviously at war with, I do not think there is a single GCR with whom we could not be close friends right now. For once, Lazarus is doing something special and unique and it is doing us so much good and it makes me so angry to see that being thrown away.
