First of all thanks you to the both of you for agreeing to partake in this debate, let's start with the first question, as is tradition:
Could you introduce yourselves and the main point of your campaign?
Empireedy: Thank you for hosting Platy , LA.I'm Empireedy, I've been in CK for almost a year now, and if you don't know me I have been actively participating in Recruitment telegrams, the welcome committee, and ambassador for two regions 'The Free Nations Region' and 'NSUK'
and I aim to keep Conch Kingdom Proud of what we offer, and continue to grow as a region.
Boratstans: Thank you for hosting thisMy nickname is Tohi, in nationstates im Boratstans. Im still in scholl. Also im not an native speaker of english. My point of campaign is i want to try something new, and make CK & CKRP more fun for me and mainly others.
LA: Next question: what are your plans for RP in Conch Kingdom?
Empireedy: Personally, I think CKRP is at a good level. of course some things in CKRP may need to be changed in the future, but that will be done so with CKers input, and our lovely RP mods input.But at this moment my plans for CKRP are to just keep it moving smoothly.
Boratstans: I hope i understand youre question right.I want to bring to the CKRP an cool events. Natural disasters, climate changes, and other stuff, but also keep that the its on the people if they agree with it. Also i think CKRP isnt bad at all.
SP: Now getting to the following question, recruitment being an important part of keeping the CK population high: Do you have any plans to make recruitment more prominent especially these day with the bot being currently down?
Boratstans: An Welcome guide for an idea?If the bot is down the newcomers would have harder way to learn how it works here. But thats just an idea in "bad times".
I want to be honest. I dont know how to help more people getting into CK....
Empireedy: As someone who enjoys recruiting (and the competitive side of it) I'd like to encourage more people in CK to try recruiting, even now when our bot is down we can manually recruit, and hopefully with more people recruiting it'll be like our bot was never down !I'd also like to keep people informed and up to date with recruitment, even if they choose to not do it.
LA: The MoDA is responsible for overseeing multiple junior ministers, including the surveyor, roleplay secretaries and others. Would you change anything about the junior minister posts, or the people occupying them?
Boratstans: I would make an big changes only if they do something wrong. And if they do it i would warn them before getting any more penalty.But i dont think any large changes are needed, but anything can change after new MoDA is voted
Empireedy: I think our current Junior Ministers are doing an amazing job and I want to do everything I can to help them.and I would like to have a more developed 'newsroom' to help create Conch Times again as it was a great part of Conch Kingdom.
SP: We received a question from the audience, so here it is: How do you plan on helping create engaging events for rmbers as well as discord users?
Boratstans: For discord users its more simple, announce it and if needed say more details. But for rmbers its harder, but it could be done by making dispatch ore posting it into the rmb.
Empireedy: To create engaging events for both RMBers and Discord users I'd keep both groups of CKers well informed of Any event, and I'd post the events on both sites and, advertise any events more often on the RMB.LA: And now for some candidate-specific questions.
Empireedy, in your dispatch you pledged to revive the Conch Times. What are your specific plans surrounding that?
Boratstans, you seem to want to involve members of the region in planning and events more. How will this be achieved?
Boratstans: I want to make polls/votes, or just ask if my idea seems good. Of course asking on everything including small things isnt optimal, but for some bigger events i would like to ask what people think about it.Empireedy: To revive Conch Times, I plan on having a 'newsroom' where the MoDA and other members collaborate to create each issue of Conch Times. This would take the stress off of any future MoDA trying to create a Conch Times issue alone.I also plan on having Conch Times be posted to our Embassy Regions, and our puppet region as well as an update on our region and events.
SP: One of you mentioned "making the conch kingdom a better and more fun place." (
Boratstans) while the other mentioned "Keeping Conch Kingdom running smoothly" (Empireedy) those being fairly vague statement, what are your plans to make those statement come true?Empireedy: Currently Conch Kingdom is continuing Rps and Events at a good and stable pace, my plan is to keep it at that good and stable pace!Boratstans: I want to make CK place welcoming anybody and also make an polls of lot of kinds. Also make my statemnet "making the c.k. a better and more fun place" was something like Keeping running smoothly, in more detail-Moderators being fair. Also keep RP running and maybe doing it more realisticLA: To wrap up this debate, each of you can ask the other a question.
Boratstans: Okay i have question onto the second side (Empireedy)Why did you wanted to candidate for MoDA after pushing me into campaingning for MoDA?
Empireedy: I've been planning to run for MoDA since Hubdovas Election!Empireedy: How do you plan on making Telrovas map more realistic, while making sure everyone is happy about it?Boratstans: I didnt say anything about Telvrovas map more realistic? Maybe you misunderstood something. But i want carpthogephers to work onto Tevlrova Map.Empireedy: |- Make the CKRP more alive! Events,Disasters,maps (Ethnic or more for example). Anything that would make the CKRP more alive and would look like an real world.could you elaborate on this part of your dispatch then please?
Boratstans: By maps i meant like an fact/info maps, not an geography changes. Also for other things, i want to make some natural & non-natural disasters:floods,voclano eruption,terrorist attack or something else. And by the "real world" part i meant making how some things work. But about that i would think if i get the position. I know not best ideaEmpireedy: thank youSP: With all that, and already being in here for 1 hour I think it's a good time to end this debate! Thank you very much to the both of you for taking part in this debate! Thanks to LA for accepting to co host this debate with me!
If there is anything you want to add before we officially close this up feel free to!
Empireedy: Thank you for hosting our Debate Platy and LA,And good luck to you Boratstan!
