Election for the New Supreme Chancellor

[Mantic Dorn]

Hear hear!​

​

​

​

The time has come for the senate to cast their vote on the new IC leader of the Galactic Republic!

This is a test to see if we can have the IC and OOC leadership separated and we the faction staff are planning on throwin new elections more often to give the political life in the faction something to huddle up around. Hopefully it will create more Role Play and some fun campaign management in between!
Read more about how the faction leadership will function in the Faction structure found here.

For this, our first election for IC supreme commander since the devastating effect of the "Red Dawn plot" we are seeing two brave candidates stepping up as nominated for the election day.

Both candidates are free to conduct a campaign on their own and even if one looses they can come back for the next election in the future.
The vote is cast by the current active senators listed in the senator roster:

Tholatin - [member="Megàn Alestria"]

Kashyyk - [member="Jack Sparrow"]

Pengalan - [member="Darion Blackstaff"]

Commenor - [member="Lady Kay"]

Alderaan - [member="Faith Balor-Organa"]

Carida - [member="Tonald Drump"]

Brentaal IV - [member="Ordon Trozky"]

Chandrilla - [member="Miria Lasedri"]

Arkania - [member="Khyros Sunblade"]

Caamas - [member="Auru Taff"]

Korda - [member="Salete Kel"]

Eshan - [member="Janira Fenni"]

These are the key persons in electing a new Supreme Chancellor as representatives of the republics remaining worlds. But, anyone can try and influence them to cast their vote in one direction or the other... lobbying in the senate is not unheard of.

IC election date will start on Monday the 1st of February!

Jack totally has my vote.

He's got that youthful spirit, that wily charm, and did you see his posters? To DIE for.

Seriously...They're fire.

 

[Faith Organa]

Yes I"m sure the crowd who follow the rum have their place.

My record is open for discussion as well as any known involvements.

.....just sort got back and not really know much about jack. Thought Faith i might have know in the past thought not sure as memory bit sketchy atm . Might just go check both candidates out....

 

[Khyros Sunblade]

I am torn between the two, mostly as I don't really know either of them.

A question to both. What is your plan going forward from our current crisis?

 

[Jack Sparrow]

My plan is to encourage trade and the expansion of our borders through diplomacy rather than force (OOC: encouraging Dominions through peaceful means rather than guns blazing), to shore up our defences by putting troops on worlds that are most likely targets of opposing factions, to leverage the Jedi to more effectively counter Sith threats since they're the most capable, to examine and take back any worlds deemed critically necessary to the health of the Republic, to try and set our enemies against each other, and to take an active role in improving the reputation of the Republic.

For the senate, I would encourage any bill that come for a vote to be open for debate for seven days, then to attach a voting poll to be kept open for another seven. In this way we can track who attends and votes.

Quite happy to expand on any of these points, but regardless of my own desires, if elected I will very much wish to hear from the other senators on how they think we can improve our public persona.

Pst, I'm eshans current senator.

 

[Kamon's OOC]

[member="Alexander Sannes"]
You weren't listed so I took it. If you can provide me with recent evidence of activity in the role I will consider stepping down.

[Kamon's OOC]

[member="Alexander Sannes"]
Fair enough, though this makes my actions in Roche seem kind of out of place...

 

[Alexander Sannes]

[member="Janira Fenni"]

I have a few ideas, let's talk in pm and we can get something sorted out.

 

[Mantic Dorn]

[member="Janira Fenni"] [member="Alexander Sannes"]

Oh, let me know how you sort it out and I'll get your names sorted

 

[Kamon's OOC]

I think we have decided that [member="Alexander Sannes"] will be the senior senator and I will be the junior senator. That way, we fill in for each other if one of us is away, and he represents our political interests while I represent our corporate interests.
[member="Mantic Dorn"]

 

[Jack Sparrow]

Look at you two, getting along and being all cooperative! Why, it does something warm to my heart in the cockle area.

 

[Alexander Sannes]

[member="Jack Sparrow"]

... you my friend, we need to chat before the elections.

Also [member="Mantic Dorn"], what she said

 

[Mantic Dorn]

I think we have decided that [member="Alexander Sannes"] will be the senior senator and I will be the junior senator. That way, we fill in for each other if one of us is away, and he represents our political interests while I represent our corporate interests.
[member="Mantic Dorn"]

Oh, you want to be two senators for the same planet? I think that was how it functioned a while back and I see no reason why it cant be so again. Good thing to call one senior and the other junior.

 

[Faith Organa]

I am torn between the two, mostly as I don't really know either of them.

A question to both. What is your plan going forward from our current crisis?

OOC stance -

I want to help rebuild the image of the Republic. The Republic is currently viewed as weakened by the crisis faces in the last few weeks, and they are most likely right. Weakened by the attacks on Chazwa, and Roche. The actions of few that lead to ramifications for everyone who bears the tag Republic. We need to pull together as a community and build the faction back to a position of strength, and that is not always an easy task. The Republic needs stories, and IC backing to support it.

Dominions are wonderful as long as we have people to post to them and have an interest in them. Many of the companies that once supported the Republic may not be available to us, and until we know their position it is hard to say that we are going to build up armies, and place soldiers on worlds when we may not have the resources.

The Jedi have left the Republic and we may call upon them for assistance but it will be the decision of the Grandmaster whether they are still available to the Republic. They are after all guardians of peace. I would like to find stories that bring them to interact with the Republic, such as when Faith travels a Jedi goes with her for protection.

We do need to have involvement in stories that are more than military actions. While these stories are enjoyed by many, there are others who are looking for character development, advancement, and social activities. As Jack stated, and Mantic have stated we need to incorporate political stories into our dominion to promote the Senates involvement. Appointing Senators to be diplomats, or ministers to further their story, addressing issues that are facing their home worlds will help strengthening the Senators, and the Republic.

The Position of Supreme Chancellor isn't only about having a shiny tag in your signature, its about putting in the time for stories to help others advance, its helping with OOC issues that come up, and though I am slow at posting I do post and try to write with everyone who asks.

To Be Supreme Chancellor that person is an unofficial member of staff of the Republic and the individual who takes on that position needs to help others aspire to be in that position.

IC -


Faith will work towards rebuilding the image of the Republic, as a traditionalist she envisions the Republic as the Image of strength, peace, and democracy. She would like to see the Sith's influence reduced, she would see alliances formed, and use what resources she has to influence those that would aide the Republic in these goals.

She would encourage the Senate aide the planets that have been taken over by the Sith, relief efforts to show that the Republic takes care of its own.

She would encourage new businesses to align with Republic, to make contracts with weapons dealers to arm our military with the latest technology. To work with all business that remain aligned with the Republic to find ways to thank them for their continued support.

She would work with the military to find out what they need to help them on the battle front. The Senate must work with the military hand in hand to show a united front and each working from the same goals. There should be transparency on all levels of goverment.

Lastly

Faith would hide all of Jack's rum but would also make him the Social Director for all parties for the Senate.

IC: I will not be sworn in in time to deliver a vote, but I must proffer a question to both sides for my own considerations. What are your positions on the usage of clones in a military capacity, and what legal and procedural solutions should be considered to prevent another Chazwa situation from occuring?


OOC: What measures can we take to keep our highest elected officials from getting the steering wheel just as they hit peak crazy? This seems to be a recurring issue, coming form the outside looking in.

 

[Khyros Sunblade]

[member="Jack Sparrow"] [member="Faith Balor-Organa"]

I do enjoy both of your answers.

Khyros will think things over and decide by the time the vote is called.

Thank you both for your candor.
