Imperial Dodo For Local Birb! (July 2020 Local Council Election Campaign)

Imperial Dodo For Local Birb Council!

About Me/Who Am I?



Well, if you are reading this, I assume that you know that I am running for the TSP Local Council. But for those are not aware, yes, this is my campaign for my bid in the July 2020 Local Council Election.

Let's start with a little info about me. My nation name is Imperial Dodo, although I go by the name "Swifty" which is based on my Discord Username (SwiftyGamer#9602). I joined NationStates in late May (around 2 and a half months ago) and I have been active in the South Pacific ever since. I am a member of every Ministry as well as a Senior Staff Member of the Office of WA Legislation. More details on my current positions below. I live in New York City in the United States and my timezone is EST (GMT+5). I am currently entering my second year of High School and my favorite topics are Maths and History. I am online every day of the week and I am active on Discord, the Forums and the RMB.

My Plan If I Become LC



Unlike some of my fellow candidates, I have thought of an elaborate plan of what I will do if I become LC. I believe that all of their flattering sentences and complicated words are good and all, but they don't mean anything if they don't have well thought out plan. If they become LC but then have no plan on legislature they would like to pass/repeal or any new ideas to make the Local Council unique, why should you vote them. The answer is that, YOU SHOULDN'T. This is why I have came up with this Agenda as my plan if I get elected:
- Repeal Article V (Make Double Posting Legal, but not more than 2 in a row.)
- In Regards to Article XIV:
Option 1: Repeal Article XIV completely. (This would make all 1 word posts legal)
Option 2: Edit Article XIV. (The edit would be to make it legal for a selected list of words. The current list is: "lol" ; "lmao" ; "hi" ; "hello" ; "welcome"; "why" ; "how" ; "who" ; "where" ; "what" ; "when". This list is Subject to Change. Words maybe be added or removed.)
- Dedicated LC Roles (This idea is to have a more dedicated role for each LC. Each LC would be assigned one of these and would mainly focus on their role. However they can also help with the 2 others. (role examples: RMB Moderating (self explanatory), Poll Creator (focuses on making better polls than Auphelia. Jokes aside, they would focus on seeing what people would want the next poll to be on and to maybe make more immersive polls such as maybe little games like guessing games or little quizzes about TSP etc...), Communications (their role would be focusing on communications between Gameside and Forumside.)
- LC News (More details in the dedicated section below)

My Views Of The Current LC Laws




Article I: (I could not agree more. SPAM = BAD)
Article II: (Although I do agree, I feel that it could be improved however it is not a priority)
Article III: (Completely Agree)
Article IV: (Again, I agree. Although if LC News were to be instated (see section below), this law may have to be changed.)
Article V: (As I said above, it is a number one priority of mine to repeal this law. This law was enacted during the Drew-pocalipse and was efficient however the times have changed and it is no longer necessary.)
Article VI: (Again, fully agree.)
Article VII: (Could maybe use a little tweak to explain what is NOT flaming, baiting or trolling, but otherwise, full support.)
Article VIII: (I mean, do you really have a choice... If you are not following these rules than why are you even here?)
Article IX: (10/10 Support)
Article X: (Fully supportive of this law.)
Article XI: (I feel that this law could be improved by determining a specific length at witch a post should use spoilers.)
Article XII: (Treat others how you want to be treated. You just DON'T break this rule. I would NEVER change this.)
Article XIII: (I feel as if this rule could almost be merged with Article XIV with my whole idea of certain 1 word posts being acceptable. This could be up for debate.)
Article XIV: (See Section Above for more details.)
Article XV: (Again, I feel as if this could be merged with Article IV however may need to be tweaked if LC News becomes a thing (see section below).)

My Experience



As I said earlier, I joined NationStates in Late May (around 2 and a half months ago) but I am extremely active in all of the Ministries. Don't take it from me, your very own Somyrion said this:

"This probably seems out of the blue, but I just want to say @SWIFTY (Imperial Dodo) FOR LC! you’re awesome. And insanely active. But you’re basically making OWL run while also doing MoRA stuff and SPSF stuff and I don’t know what else. And you learn really quickly. So thanks o/"

In terms of my experience, here are the positions that I hold or that I held and things i've been involved in:

- Soldier of the South Pacific Special Forces
- Senior Staff in the Office of WA Legislation
- Member of The Ministry of Regional Affairs
- Legislator
- Member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Co-Organizers of "The South Pacific Independence Day Festival 2020

How To Support Me



Step 1: Change your flag to Linkthis
Step 2: Change your nation's custom Classification (Unlocked if your nation's population is above 500 million) to "IMPERIAL DODO For Local Birb!"
Optional Step 3: Add "IDLC" to your Discord Nickname.
Step 4: Be Nice to all the other candidates.
Step 5: DO NOT, and I mean DO NOT be toxic towards ANY of the other candidates.

Q & A



IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, JUST SEND ME A DISCORD DM (Discord Tag: SwiftyGamer#9602), PING ME IN DISCORD, SEND ME A DISPATCH OR PING ME IN A RMB POST.

Proctethia wrote:Hello! I'd like to ask you some questions about your LC campaigns. Please note that these may be answered in your campaign dispatches already, but these few questions aren't meant to be specific for anybody.

1. Why are you running for LC?

2. What are your stances on double posting and roleplay?

3. Are you able to adapt to situations, or, to serve among those you'd rather not?

4. Do you have any 'big' plans for your term, if you suceed?

5. What sets you apart from the other candidates?

6. What experience do you have (if any)?

7. Cake or Pie?

Thank you for your time.

1. Why are you running for LC?

The reasons I am running for LC are simple. Number One, I think I can use it as a good way to slowly make myself more well known in TSP so that in the next elections that I run for, I am a little more well known. Number Two, because I want to make the RMB and TSP as a whole an enjoyable place for all TSP citizens and a place where everyone can have fun, as long as they follow the rules.

2. What are your stances on double posting and roleplay?

I feel that we should DEFINITELY make double posting legal because I do not think it fits in the RMB world today and if we were to keep it, it would have to be COMPLETELY revised. I also feel that Articles XV & IV could be reworked. (see my dispatch for more details)

3. Are you able to adapt to situations, or, to serve among those you'd rather not?

At this point, "adapt" is my middle name. With me being new to TSP and NationStates as a whole, I have constantly been having to adapt. For example, 1 day after I joined MoRA, I became the Co-Lead of the TSP Independence Day 2020 Festival without any prior knowledge or events or even MoRA. Another example is in SPSF. I became Soldier (the second rank in SPSF) around a week ago. This past update, I lead my first "Detag Run". Long story short, a detag run is reclaiming raider regions and making look just like they were before the raiders arrived. Anyway, I lead my first detag run. This may seem insignificant until I tell u that leading a detag run is something that you do at the Officer Rank (the one above soldier), yet i'm already doing it just as I became soldier. And as the cherry on the cake, I haven't even been taught how to do one or I haven't even been shown the equipment to use to do one. So if this isn't adapting, than I don't know what is.

4. Do you have any 'big' plans for your term, if you succeed?

- Make Double Posting Legal
- Make 1 word posts Legal
- Maybe add a more dedicated roles for each of the 3 LC's. Each LC would be assigned one of these and would mainly focus on their role. However they can also help with the 2 others. (role examples: RMB Moderating (self explanatory), Poll Creator (focuses on making better polls than Auphelia.
Jokes aside, they would focus on seeing what people would want the next poll to be on and to maybe make more immersive polls such as maybe little games like guessing games or little quizzes about TSP etc...),
Communications (their role would be focusing on communications between Gameside and Forumside)
- LC News (see my campaign dispatch for more details)

5. What sets you apart from the other candidates?

Although people may see me being new as a disadvantage, I think it is what sets me apart from the rest of the field. All of the other candidates have almost become "brainwashed" to the current system of laws and their style. However, with me being new, I am full of new ideas and cool new ways to make the Local Council and TSP as a whole unique from any other region in the world of NationStates.

6. What experience do you have (if any)?

See the "My Experience" Section above.

7. Cake or Pie?

hmmmm, Brownies. Chocolate Brownies. Don't Debate It.
