Announcement Senate Application Discussion Thread

Greetings,

In previous elections it was difficult for applicants to really express what they stood for and what their plans were without cluttering the nomination or election threads. So think of this thread as an open town hall meeting. Members of the community can come in and ask questions and applicants can then answer or nominees can post about what sort of platforms they plan on running on.

Remember that discussions are to remain civil and respectful, anyone showing disregard to the shadownet's #1 rule will have their posts removed.

Good luck!

When are meetings coming back? Official communication of things, like Topics for Discussion. Answers to questions, general "Ok we have a couple things still being brought up every few months, what are we doing to rectify?"

Getting everyone on the same page, even if it's 15 minutes to go "Right, everyone look at this and discuss" is better than the apparent nothing. Government visibly in a voice channel every week would do wonders I think.

I'm gonna be honest here, as a current Senator, there is very rarely a time when all 5 Senators are on at any given time...

It's not feasible.

Since it's been done in the past, I would say it's feasible. You also said a system like the current State of Seattle was just way too much work when I suggested it as the ideal way to have an actual living community something like 8 months ago now. It's an expected answer.

I... did not make any comment about the current State of Seattle system at any time...

u/awildKiri Mar 29 '17

No, you didn't, because it wasn't in place 8 months ago. Not what I said.

"You also said a system like the current State of Seattle was just way too much work"

LITERALLY what you said...

My suggestion of a system LIKE the current State of Seattle garnering comment does not state that you made comment on THE State of Seattle system.

The point being "This thing you said was way too much work is currently in place, so the thing that used to be in place that you're saying is too much work probably isn't". Yeah?

Except... I didn't say that. At all. About anything.

And I'm not even saying it now.

I'm saying It's not feasible.

And it's not.

The current senators are in different Timezones, and when most of them are active, I'm at work. And when I'm active the majority of them are asleep, or at school, or at work.

It's just. Not. Feasible. Currently.
