After some arguments in the region of Holland our region is still undicided what kind of Delegate is best for any region.

Please motivate your choice in this topic.

first you were a dictator, now a hippie, what's next?

Depends on the region. I have nations in a few regions myself. I’m the UN Delegate of Hell, this is my puppet nation. I have a basically anything goes policy seeing how it is Hell after all.

Back to Dictator again. Hippie made my region kind of puke. :)

well, you were a terrible hippie!
i think poor dron really got sick! ;)

nope, i think a dictator suits you just fine, and don't worry, i'll oppose you ;)

MODALERT

This is in the wrong forum, please move to NS.

I voted Democratic Government, for ideological reasons. While it's inefficient to vote on everything, true democracy (and hence a free exchange of information and ideas) is IMHO the most fair way to govern a region.

Would you be so kind to explain why?

Because the general forum is a forum about things in the RL - general things. This is, however, a topic in RP and should therefore be moved to NS.

This is no RP. It is about how you control a region. Do you behave like the Dictator of the Pacific or do you have a clean Ban-list.

well, my region's banlist is clear, and i'm proud of it too ;)

No, but the general is for RL discussion, not this type of discussion, you ask the mods.

Should iMove :arrow: II?

I think I make the best delegate for my region :twisted:

But I'm not aloud into the regional control (in case of invasion, we aren't the biggest of regions, plus the founder is active). We do have a clean ban list though ;)

Should iMove :arrow: II?

Yes, somewhere other than general, moderation, UN, NS or JG (that narrows it down to 2).

I like the delegate we have. someone who bows to the will of her regional government, but who isn't afraid to tell us what she thinks or act on her own.

Postmasters-General of NationStates: The Complete List
oh no, not another new region.

Above are two topics that without doubt are no RL issues. Found them in General within 20 seconds.

And also this is about your real life political views making you the delegate you are.

Should iMove :arrow: II?
Yes, somewhere other than general, moderation, UN, NS or JG (that narrows it down to 2).

Let's try and settle this before it gets worse:

Nationstates: In-character talk about... => nope.
International Incidents: ... Posts must be in-character => nope.
The United Nations: ...debate proposals and resolutions => nope.
Technical: various items, all technical => nope.
Moderation: mod stuff => nope, although feel free to start a thread THERE on where you think THIS thread belongs.
NationStates 2: ... NationStates sequel => nope.
Jennifer Government: book, movie => nope.

This leaves General: "For discussion and debate about anything."
(implied: that doesn't belong anywhere else)


Now, Catholic Europe, please stop this right now. Back on topic folks!

The form of government matters not at all; it is the person playing the nation that matters.
Our Earth is a fine delegate, and would continue to be even if his nation were a psychotic dictatorship.

Have done.

Ok, but what if Our Earth would act out the Psychotic Dictatorship part in running the region? Like kicking people out who voiced any kind of criticism, etc...?

Thankyou. :)

OK :P

Since many of us on here are delgates you should have put a "me" option on there. :evil: :twisted:

Lol Well they would al vote on "ME" as founder of this topic. They would say I am a somewhat Narcistic Delegate. Can't have that can we? :wink:

Ahh good point, I forgot that non-delegates have ambitions. :P

yep, collaboration is right, it depends on the person controlling the nation, someone could have a very democratic way of controlling his or her region, even when that person's nation is an dictatorship

(seems like this thread is still here in general ;) , guess it's okay here )

Well, I would regard that as a democratic delegate then. When internal politics of a nation do not influence the manner in which a region is governed, they should be disregarded in evaluating the delegacy.

In my opinion, NationStates-related topics, In-Character or Out-Of-Character, should be in "NationStates". Hence, iMove :arrow: "NationStates".

However, Ballotonia seems to make a good point about the board description, so I'll ask the Forum Admins about changing it.

Generally one moderates forums in accordance to their stated layout, not adjust the layout of the forums in accordance to the moderating that's being done.

Anyway, you might as well move this to Moderation now, as over 50% of this thread is now a discussion on where the other (planned) discussion was supposed to be held. In effect, Catholic Europe's meddling managed to kill this thread thoroughly. No thanks.

Well, I wasn't sure, so I made an interim decision and acted upon. Did I make a mistake? It's possible. I've asked [violet] to take a look at this. If [violet] thinks I made a bad decision, then I'll apologize for the inconvenience and move it back.

As for Catholic Europe, he has done nothing except ask if a topic belonged in one place rather than another. A perfectly valid question, in my opinion. If a mistake was made by moving it, then I made the mistake, not Catholic Europe, and I don't appreciate your referring to Catholic Europe's "meddling".

If you feel that the thread has been "killed", the topic author, "Nitwitium", can ask for a mod (myself included) to split out all of the off-topic posts so that the discussion can proceed unfettered.

Now, to get back on-topic....

After some arguments in the region of Holland our region is still undicided what kind of Delegate is best for any region.

Please motivate your choice in this topic.

I'm not quite sure about what kind of internal government a Delegate should have. I'm inclined to say that it really doesn't matter so long as the Delegate votes as the nations of the region say the Delegate should vote. I've lived under a few different Delegates and, at one point, been a Delegate myself. All of the Delegates I've lived under have had different styles of thinking and writing from what I had.

I suppose each Delegate has to be evaluated on an individual basis and should not be automatically disqualified or favored or disfavored just because of their internal government (which, I should note, can shift if the Delegate makes certain decisions on domestic issues or gets affected by certain UN resolutions).

/me votes for the last option in the poll.
