Pharaoh of Osiris: Was it war that made him grow so fast or the crown they had put on his head?
By: Jakker
Nominations for Pharaoh opened in late March to multiple candidates being called including long standing Keeper, Ainocra, former pharaoh, Severisen and Elders, Raven and Zeorus. The lone candidate to accept their nomination was current Pharaoh, Tim Stark. Due to these circumstances, Ainocra, the electoral administrator, cited section 3 of the Election Administration Act, which read “The individual empowered to administer an election, through adoption of such procedures and methods as they see fit provided such procedures and methods do not contradict this Act or other laws of the Osiris Fraternal Order.” Using this, Ainocra declared Tim Stark the winner of the election.
This decision caused others to question this clause of the Election Administration Act as it took the power away from the Deshret to formally elect their government. Tim mentioned not being aware of such a law. After much discussions, an amendment was made and voted on, which states that the Deshret are to hold a vote of confidence should there only be one candidate running for an election.
I sat down with the pharaoh, Tim Stark, to hear his thoughts on the second term and his plans moving forward.
Jakker: When did you decide for yourself that you wanted to take on another term as pharaoh?
Tim: About a week before the election was going to start, I actually sat down to consider it, and essentially decided that I had more I thought I could do, and I wasn't missing being mobile as much as I thought I would, what with update becoming two hours long.
Jakker: You chose to nominate Ainocra as your Vizer for your second term as opposed to continuing with Zaolat. Can you talk more about that decision?
Tim: Aye, sure. It was nothing relating to performance, actually, so alas the allegations of a coup will have to wait for another time. Zaolat was a great Vizier, but he expressed to me before appointments came around that he had other stuff preoccupying him and wouldn't be able to be Vizier. Ainocra, being active and dedicated, was a pretty easy choice after that, given how much work he was already doing just from Minister of WA Affairs.
Jakker: Osiris currently doesn’t have a scribe of Justice or Culture. Do you have any progress being made with that or any thoughts with how to proceed?
Tim: Yes, actually. I'm basically ready to appoint both positions within the next few days hopefully. I've just been a bit busy with AP Exams coming up and the whole finishing High School thing to get around and make sure those I was interested in getting are still available.
Jakker: Anything you are working on or goals for Osiris that you'd like to mention?
Tim: Well, I do have that cou... reform planned involving a Rome theme that I'm still itching to try and see how it goes. Aside from that, mandatory service in the Sekhmet Legion seems like it would certainly bolster our numbers, so we may try that too! And, of course, the ever needed WA endorsement count shall rise. That's right, I want YOU for Sekhmet Legion.
Jakker: How do you want your terms as pharaoh to be remembered?
Tim: Honestly, I think the best word I can think of is stability. I think that, relative to previous Osiris terms, I've had a pretty stable term, and I'd like to keep it that way. We've had more than enough issues as a region, what with the coups, the allegations of outside influence, and the like, so hopefully we'll be able to keep stability during me terms and keep that stability for a long time after I decide to go mobile again.
Jakker: Does that mean you have thoughts of a possible third term?
Tim: We'll see. We haven't had a 3-term Pharaoh since Lyanna Stark, so it would certainly be interesting. I won't deny the fact that my ego would have a field day beating her delegacy record, but I do have a yearning to one day be mobile again, and summer is the prime time for that. I guess it depends on how much I get done this term.
Jakker: Awesome. thank you for your time and answering my questions, pharaoh
Tim: No problem
Although I did just hit 3 years here. You could talk about changes in the courts though - and you have permission from me as Chief Elder to report on the cases we've held (Cormac and RiderSyl).
