I believe it would be beneficial to include a section outlining some recent success's or operations by the Sekhmet Legion. I do not have any specific ideas for content, but I just believe that it would be ideal to have a section promoting the activity of the Sekhmet legion, especially in light of all of their recent activity.

I really like the "Hot seating" idea, and it would be nice to get some perspective from Osiris out there to the general NS community.

I am a little unsure about what you mean by "Deshret Activity"? Does the NS community really want to know the ongoings of the internal government of Osiris? If there is one bill in particular discussed or passed by the Deshret that you want to talk about, then might it be better to just make an entire article dedicated to covering a single bill.

I also do hope we begin to publish some of our issues on the NS Gameplay forum. Having an avidly updated and well kept periodical or news bulletin in the NS forums, I believe is one of the best ways to promote the activity of Osiris and to gain some traction for our community.

Overall I am glad to see there is some new things going on in Apis. I am sorry I doubted you and I believe a lot of good things are going to come with this new term.

1) I like your idea regarding the Sekhmet Legion. I'll add it to the list and talk to Festavo about it.

2) Dehsret Activity, as In the various things that has happened in the Deshret which we can expand upon such as the whole Ridersyl issue (I think I spelt that right), the Treaty reviews etc...

3) I am considering something new rather than these moderate sized articles which may allow the Osiris Oracle to respond faster to news internally and externally.

4) Naah, its ok

Yes, yes and yes

The story behind your leave however could be interesting.

The story of why I left Osiris is nobody's business but my own. This is not up for discussion.

I would drop it, Andrew

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

Ainocra’s Rise to Vizer
"I am constant as the northern star."
By: Jakker As mentioned above, Ainocra was chosen by Tim to serve as the Vizer for this current term. Upon stepping down from his position as Keeper to take on the role, several members of the Osiran community praised Ainocra for his efforts. As Revall, a member of the Deshret said, “This man who is leaving this job for another job or two is really a bad man because he is depriving us of his exemplary commitment and service to Osiris as an excellent, excellent keeper.”

Since taking office, Ainocra has continued being an active presence for Osiris. I sat down with him to hear his thoughts on his transition to the new role and goals for the future.

Jakker: What are some goals do you have for your term as Vizer?

Ainocra: Well my intent as Vizier is to be more active and involved in the Hedjet than those previous office holders have been. To that end I have worked pretty closely with Tim on a number of things. I have been working on a set of operating policies for the individual cabinet ministries, and a lot of my focus is on diplomacy and foreign policy. I am in negotiating with several other governments on behalf of Osiris at the moment. I am also working closely with the atef to get the region security a bit better mainly by trying to get all of them to cap and stable. I intend to leave a framework so that whoever comes after me in the job will have a good idea of what to do and how to do it, much as I think I did in the Deshret.

Jakker: What do you think is most promising about Osiris right now? What is something you would like to see improved?

Ainocra: Most promising, well we are stable and secure, and our gameside WA membership is at some it's highest levels ever. That holds a great deal of promise, I would like to get more of those people involved in the government, the Deshret and the Hedjet both. That reminds me, i'll have to send another mass telegram on the subject later today. The more involved the community is the more stable secure and active the entire region is. At least in my view.

Jakker: You declined a nomination for pharaoh in the last election. Any thoughts to run in the future?

Ainocra: I have considered it, and I will likely eventually run. Tim is doing a great job though, and has had probably the roughest climb to the throne of anyone in Osiran history so I am content to let him enjoy his time in the sun for as long as he wishes. He's earned it. Besides the sun isn't going anywhere, it will still be just as bright when my time comes.....

Jakker: What has been the biggest adjustment you have had to deal with going from Keeper to Vizer?

Ainocra: It's quite complicated. As keeper you wield an enormous amount of influence in the Deshret, but as Vizier at least in the Deshret you are just another voice in the chorus.

Jakker: Anything else you want to share?

Ainocra: Being Vizier is a different set of challenges than those I faced as Keeper, but they are not insurmountable and I will enjoy continuing to meet them as they arise. I would encourage all Osirans to get involved in your government, after all it exists to serve and maintain the security of the people.

Jakker: Do you think that there isn't enough involvement in the government by citizens?

Ainocra: I think there is always room for more, right now the Hedjet and the Deshret are both robust, but any online game lives on its new members. This one is no different. Life happens to us all and people come and people go, only by continuing to involve new members we can ensure the continuation of those institutions we have built here.

Jakker: Do you have any words of advice for Andrew, the newest Keeper?

Ainocra: Just remember, you hold the gavel.

Jakker: Awesome. Thanks for your time

Ainocra: My pleasure.
