One incredible thing that's happened over the past week is that one has pointed out something quite troubling- the current state of Atlasia's biggest region.
Governor Riley Keaton, despite having been online as recently as today, and continuing to post on the forum, has not posted in Atlasia since August 11th, when he made these two posts.
Chairman:
[X] Senator North Carolina Yankee
Vice-Chairman
[X] Assemblyman JCL
And he has not made a post relating to his duties as Middle Eastern envoy since August 8th, which saw a series of posts.
The briefings will be postponed until the matter has been discussed in appropriate channels.
But most strikingly, he has not performed any duty as Mideast Governor since August 7th.
That is the only post he has made as Governor since August 2nd.Right. I'd like to work with Hagrid and Napolean to get estimates on the legislation we've passed.
The most recent Assembly was sworn in on July 31st, with a legal case forcing the third member, Franzl, to swear in on August 2nd.
On August 4th, Spiral resigned from the Assembly.
I resign from the Mideast Assembly.
I, Spiral, do solemnly affirm that I will faithfully execute the office of At-Large Senator and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Republic of Atlasia, so help me Dave.
On August 9th, Cassis resigned from the Assembly.
I, Cassius, do solemnly affirm that I will faithfully execute the office of Mideast Senator, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Republic of Atlasia, so help me Dave.
Since August 9th, the Mideast Assembly has been dead, and by no fault of the single remaining assemblyman, as a legislative body cannot operate with one member.The inactivity of the Governor and virtual nonexistence of the Assembly are part of an ongoing trend of inactivity in this region.
This is the second time a mass disappearance without warning by the Governor has happened. The last was only last month, which also coincided with an Assembly blackout for three weeks.
While Lt. Governor TJ and Senator Cassius have been active in their roles, a region cannot survive with two active officeholders. The Mideast has the numbers to be active- and a number of participants who'd be willing to serve in office, so what's the matter here?
