Open Interview for Xavier Griffith
Icey1174
Xavier,
I write this article in request that you answer a few questions for our citizens as you plan to run for PM.
1. Will you allow Cabinet Members that have been proven by the Admins to have multiple accounts, as government officials in the game we should be supporting the Admins decisions?
2. Following on from Question 1 will you allow Senators to continue if they have been perma banned by the admins?
3. Will you try and put a more strict code of conduct around how Senators and Cabinet members behave in public? For example if they flame have a temp ban?
Thank you for taking the time to read this article and answer these questions.

I can answer these questions for him.
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
Was this a serious article?
Ok, yes this was serious. We have a DEAD Citizen as DPM right now. That is just outrageous.
I am guessing that Xavier has his own mind and is not a puppet of yours. I will wait for his answers as he is well respected.
John
Good Questions Icey. I have been wondering the same recently. As if admins ban someone I don't think they should be in senate or cabinet myself.
Flaming is a bit tricker but from reading erep rules it is bannable offence as well.
How can you answer for him unless you're attempting to dictate what he is to say?
@AW- I know more about Xave's plank than most.
@Icey- "I will wait for his answers as he is well respected." Lol. He is.
@ Haug
Who will his DPM be? Who will the rest of his cabinet be?
John
Why don't you wait for him to release that. I know. But out of courtesy to him I will wait as there is still an unconfirmed spot, last I heard.
"As if admins ban someone I don't think they should be in senate or cabinet myself." (Stewart😎
All depends on the reasons for the Ban.
If it's something petty like a breach of forum ethiquette, or personal vendetta - then as a voter i'd be annoyed to see the person i voted for denied the right to represent me.
If it's for in-game breaches, and the ban is from eRep Admins, then i would certainly expect them to be removed from anything to do with eAus political representation.
Hi John,
Ok, I'll try to answer these questions as honestly as I see them.
1. Yes I will allow it. While I disagree with the concept of Mulit-accounts I believe that nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes and therefore everybody deserves a second chance. Actually I believe that everybody deserves three chances, unless I consider you a friend and then you only get 1.
2. Yes, I have no choice in that matter. The PM does not control the Senate, I made sure of that when I was the Speaker for 3 terms. The choice to remove a Senator is that of the Senate as a whole, not that of the PM. Besides which, I don't believe the Admins are always correct in their decisions.
3. That's a hard question, in regards to the Senators see my response to question 2. Regarding Ministers, some of the Cabinet are Senators as well, unfortunately I wasn't able to implement my preference that Cabinet Members not actually be elected Senators. I can dismiss a Cabinet Member but if they are a Senator they still hold that position unless the Senate chooses to remove them. Add to that, how do you force a duly elected Senator to resign on eRepublik? There has already been an amendment to the Cabinet Protocol Act regarding some form of behaviour, however to be bluntly honest, you and others have a habit of creating public posts specifically designed to inflame situations, who am I, as the PM, to slap one person for the attack upon them by another?
Flamming works both ways John, remember, not everybody playing this game is as OOOOOOLLLLLDDDDD as I am in RL 😃
X,
Thank you for answering openly and honestly. You obviously have a lot of supporters and it's good to hear these answers from the "horse's mouth."
"Yes I will allow it. While I disagree with the concept of Mulit-accounts I believe that nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes and therefore everybody deserves a second chance. Actually I believe that everybody deserves three chances, unless I consider you a friend and then you only get 1."
I consider a "mistake" a one time screw up. You forget to pay a bill because you forgot to send the mail out. Mistake. Your forget to feed the dog because you are running late. Mistake. You forget to buy toilet paper. VERY big mistake. lol...
How can you possibly consider a person knowingly creating and continually operating a multi a "mistake." Everyone is very aware of the severity of having a multi. Creating a multi is not a mistake, it is a carefully planned action with an agenda. Mistakes do not have agendas.
So you are saying that everyone deserves three opportunities to be caught by the admins creating and operating multis? Please correct me if I read that wrong. Even though I do not consider the first time caught a mistake, but a very carefully calculated agenda, how could you possibly accept a second and even third time? I will also note that you did state a friend can only do so once.
Please keep in mind that we are not talking about "perfection" within a person BUT we are talking about integrity. A person lacking in integrity is FAR different than a person lacking in "perfection."
Again, thank you for responding. I look forward to your response yo my latest question.
John
Why do I have the feeling that this article is mainly about Calibur?
Icey: "I consider a "mistake" a one time screw up. You forget to pay a bill because you forgot to send the mail out. Mistake. Your forget to feed the dog because you are running late. Mistake. You forget to buy toilet paper. VERY big mistake. lol..."
Are you telling me you have never made a mistake?
Also, as I said in my response number 2, I don't believe the Admins are always correct.
This is not about Cal. Sorry. This is about anyone that is PB for cheating. Cal was not PB. Better input besides assumptions would be preferred. I think everyone knows by now I do not beat around the bush about anything. If it was about Cal I would have said it. 🙂
I should have been more clear and said a permeate ban, not a temp ban. We can live through a temp ban.
John 🙂
