As I've said before in my campaign thread, I want the people who will be in charge of areas requiring heavy focus to be singularly focused on what they're doing.Cormac wrote:Sat Apr 16, 2016 11:36 pmI'm curious why Culture is being separated from "Communal Activities," and what exactly Andrew will be doing as Scribe of Culture beyond maintaining Osiran of the Week and a festival. Those don't require a full department with its own Scribe, and I'm confident Yuno could manage those as well while managing role play.
I can't remember which Scribe of Culture it was, but they frequently missed the Osiran of the Week and I believe Fest planned to celebrate one of the festivals and that ended up going to bust. So to prevent that, they'll be split.
I wouldn't blame them for being extremely inactive during their terms in those positions since the region as a whole was very inactive and inactivity leads to more and more inactivity. Hopefully with an active Pharaoh like myself at the helm, they will be more active. If not, they'll be replaced.Cormac wrote:Sat Apr 16, 2016 11:36 pmYou've noted that some of these nominees, like Andrew and Tomb, have served on the Hedjet and in other offices before, and listed their previous titles. But what achievements have they had during their previous service? Given they do have measurable records, I think it's worth looking at whether they were effective during their prior service and whether we can see from that prior service that they will be effective now. My recollection of their prior service is that they did indeed hold several pretty titles but were otherwise fairly inactive while their activity was concentrated primarily in other regions. Perhaps your recollection differs.
You aren't baiting me and I'm glad you've kept your tone civil and the discussion frank, it's something I appreciate.Cormac wrote:Sat Apr 16, 2016 11:36 pmDoes it bother you that so much of your Hedjet is comprised of people who voted for you? Even when you had me as a potential nominee for Integration, five of your nominees were also your voters. Now six were your voters. Only three of your nominees didn't vote for you, and two couldn't vote. One of your nominees (Andrew) voted on the last day of the election and another (Kyorgia) switched his vote within twenty minutes of that, also on the last day, ensuring your victory by a one vote margin. Another of your nominees (Tomb) viciously attacked me in my campaign thread during the election period. Shadoke and Revall were also among your most vocal defenders and attack surrogates during the election. Yuno voted for you in the first round of voting but couldn't vote in the second round due to loss of citizenship in the interim. Looks like political patronage.
I really don't care how a person voted, when they voted, for what reasons they chose to vote, or if they could even vote. I picked people who I believed could do the jobs I wanted for them and can work with me well enough to help Osiris.
Tomb's actions were his alone and I did not ask him to ask you the questions he asked you, you yourself even thanked him for being frank. Shadoke and Revall probably don't take well with people slandering me, which led to them defending me, you should ask them. When the second round started, I decided that I would not ask people to change their votes and I would not react to the misinformation being spread about me, I have no control of others who chose to react.
Of the people who didn't vote for me, I offered two Hedjet positions, and most of the rest I do not know at all, so I could not properly and accurately gauge their abilities to serve in my Hedjet. Tim is also on his way to being confirmed as an Elder, and I have nominated Rogamark to the Pschent.Cormac wrote:Sat Apr 16, 2016 11:36 pmIs there something wrong with people who didn't vote for you -- nearly half the community -- that so few of them are nominated to your Hedjet? Do they give off a funny odor some of us have missed?
None of that please, Revall.Revall wrote:Sat Apr 16, 2016 11:46 pmLOL, I was the 2nd choice for the position I never expected to serve in the Hedjet at all until in one of your legendary fits of rage you abruptly decided to not serve as a Scribe heck you can have it back if you are so keen on it.Cormac wrote:Sat Apr 16, 2016 11:36 pm Shadoke and Revall were also among your most vocal defenders and attack surrogates during the election.
Cormac adds political patronage to the list of "reasons" he *gasp* LOST an election. Should have seen it coming since you slyly started accusing him of political patronage during the election cycle itself.
