It only gets worse when you know that I sent messages about this several days ago.

You would think with the SoIA once again running for office, there would be no shortage of work for a committee devoted to overseeing his office and making sure he is doing his fing job. Especially after what happened the last time said official was a candidate running for office.

Well, neither the committee, nor the SoIA are doing their jobs, really.

Mr. Chairman, are planning on doing something with this committee at some point?

When something arises, of course I will. However, I've heard little from the administration about any domestic policies, and nothing too relevant from fellow Senators, so the Committee remains dormant. I don't think the Committee's purpose is to create busy work for itself, but I stand ready to assist in solving any problems that arise or taking care of important matters as they come.

If from amongst the present issues arising over the past two months, all there is is busy work in your opinion, then doesn't it seem that this committee lacks a purpose for existing in your opinion?

The purpose of this committee is to review/create domestic legislation across a wide set of policy areas and to oversee the actions of the Administation regarding said policy areas, not the least of which is to make sure the SoIA does his job. If a seperate committee can't handle this, then perhaps it is time to merge it back into the GOR.

The only way I can see to get rid of the SoIA would be to have the GM simulate the position, not to mention shifting all the "game moderation" powers the SoIA has back to the GM as well.

It is sickening really that no one wants to actually play this damn game.

Here is something else to consider. Where are the newspapers and printed publciations?

When I came here we had three at least at all times and that was the case for a long time. Theys all dead now don't you know. The only media operations that are surviving is the polling, but is a gun without a gunman. The News papers aren't there to analyze them, to stir controversy and push the cycle. It seems we get these clique papers and the same people get interviewed over and over again, because of who they are associated with. I can only be remembering party to three interviews that actually got posted and two were just a scam to acheive some hidden objective. Then they die when they no longer serve a purpose.

Take Marokai for instance, he had the Socialist trash paper back in 2009 that helped to destroy MasterJedi's campaign for Presidency amongst other things and then made life exceedingly difficult for us again in October 2010. Instead of vanishing, he could do a great service by reviving that fiflth or creating another one. At least it had a real impact. Also, why don't some of these people who "no longer give a sh**t anymore", revive Atlasian journalism. They obviously wont care if someone gets pissed off.

Like the question I just asked in the AG's thread. That should be reporter from the Nyman Sun Times, asking that first.

I'm invading this Committee to talk about somenthing really serious! Mister Xahar was chosen by President Marokai to solve the "state of anarchy" on the Pacfic Region but now he is with his troll friends doing whatever they want to destroy our region! This is not fair and we ought to do something about this!

Thank you!

Might as well, Nappy isn't too keen on using it, so we might as well just use as space to bitch about things we hate about the present situation.


Maybe, it might lead to something productive. It will certainly make me feel better compared with the silence.

I think the best bet for now is to find out where the legality stands before the Senate can act one way or the other. Once that is over, I made a recommendation in my last speech, but of course you have to read it to find it out. It isn't "That" long. Tongue

There is communications to find the best course of action to that issue, since doing unproductive or counter-productive things isn't good.

We are in communication since the early morning and we hope to come with a plan quite soon. I do not favor the juridicial way, since it's very uncertain and quite slow, through.

I tend to agree, when I said "legality stands" I didn't mean let the court handle it but exploring what is practical and the likelihood that it would be ruled unnconstitutional. I hope that clarifies what I said yesterday.

The lack of ability to read the latest correspondence on this matter is driving me nuts, I must say.

Maxy and Marokai, did you guys get a chance to read the PM I sent on Thursday? The one that I sent prematurely and then had to send a correction afterwards?
