The building process
Callumh123
Greetings eAustralia, I have quite a lot to write about in this article, so as always, I will attempt to be terse.
First off, it has been 5 days since the election that put Henry the 8th back into power over close second Brigidd. I am relieved that Henry got over the line during a remarkable turn out, of course not out of character thanks to our enlarging community, mostly by the Black Spectra Brigadiers.
Onto the next point, the Senate. My apparent favourite subject. Guagature in all his wisdom (which is little) decided to make me an admin on the eAus forum.
I will admit I have been a bit lazy into action, however I got some work done and found out how the forum ticks, in the most basic way possible.
Now the next part is going to make me seem as though I am the authoritarian of the Senate, which is true in part seeing as I am currently overseeing its renovation of sorts.
I made the Senate forum transparent so that all citizens can see what is happening. This will bare fruit once the next step of restoring the forum based Senate happens.
The step before the big one was to clear up the clutter and make a Senate archive so we don't lose anything important for the time being and we have a better consensus on how the archive will be used.
So the forum is now primed and ready, looking slicker and more ready for use. Now all we need is some Senators.
Now how on earth would we be able to do such a thing you might be asking yourself, I too ask myself that often. The best way I can see it happening is with the creation and implementation of a constitution.
Now, we use to have a pretty decent one on the old forum. However, that is now gone under as XG has rightfully so, closed it down.
I call on all older citizens, if you have an older version of the constitution saved away in a cold dark vault somewhere, please, please send me that copy you have. It is a workable platform and to be frank, I do not have the necessary imagination to conjure one up all on my own.
Also, anyone that might have the Senate Standing Orders saved as well, please send me that. It is almost as vital to the Senates restoration.
I am also looking for some hands on deck to help edit and get this constitution at a high level so we can put it to the Senate to vote on in the message threads.
If we a majority agree, it will be considered partially ratified. If were to do this 5 months ago it would be fully ratified. But now there is this new particular module that just happens to hinder the democratic process, we need the acting CP of the day to also ratify the constitution.
Linking the Executive and the Legislative partially in order to have at the very least a semi-functioning democracy with a burgeoning forum.
The last couple of things I wish to discuss if you would so indulge me is on my new position as Minister of Education.
I am still trying to get a hold of the org nut because benevolent plato reset them I have been unsuccessful in my endeavour.
Once that happens I will be releasing articles daily. But most likely not of my own. Now to take a shot at former MoE's if applicable. Being MoE is quite an easy gig if done right.
See some when they take it on think they are expected to write 20 articles a month. Pointless. It is more likely that a predecessor has already written something on the subject that is still current, if not slightly out of date this can be rectified by a simple edit.
MoE's have no excuse not to publish daily. New players are around everyday wanting information. Posting one informational article every other day is not sufficient. Republish, republish, republish. Keep doing this and hopefully you will reap the rewards of new players actually paying attention.
If not at least no one can blame you for not trying. To all Governmental members, current and any future aspirant; please add this link to all your Governmental publishing: http://auserep.forumotion.org we need it to generate some more activity into the forum.
Now the last thing I want to say before ending is that in my new portfolio that I presume also covers Information, I will be doing a weekly podcast on current events, cabinet reports, discussions etc...
The first one will be this coming Thursday.
Apologies for the inevitable spelling mistakes, I tend not to proof read and keep going with articles and just clicking publish.
EDIT-
I got a little trigger happy on the forum and deleted a ton of useless subforums in the political section. It is a lot less cluttered.

Daily articles... You'll be held to that, you know... 😃
Was the constitution ever published in someone's personal newspaper that is still e-alive? One way to find it, if so...
Could help with proofreading if you want; gods know you need it. 😛
Once I have hold of the org it shouldn't be a problem!
I had a look at a few old timers articles, nothing found yet. It definitely was.
Definitely, but who has time for that at 10 to 4 in the morning.
Dig away, I can take it. 🙂
I'm yet to see you publish anything except self import puff pieces like this, let alone 20 new articles a month...
Thank you for reorganising the boards. It is better now.
Again Ilene, if you think I am taking a swipe at you, that's on you.
In my head the 20 articles sounded hyperbolic. Perhaps I should have said 60. I was just trying to put the point across that is is good to republish.
Cal you literally said you were taking a Dig at the old MoEE's... Lol
If applicable. It was not a dig at all of them.
So Cal you were taking a dig at me? I was a MoEE
Definitely you Guagature.
Wouldn't one every like 2-3 days make more sense so they aren't competing against each other?
Besides wouldn't the best thing be if they got information from an article which then pointed them to the forums for more useful articles?
It would be cyclical but what is the harm in having a few articles for them to read out if you can? New players aren't usually quick to hop onto a forum and having them in game with the option of further reading on the forum for the curious.

Really old, but if can be useful...
Thank you Gueneo. I tried to find Derek's account for ages.
hahaha, from majester, and tims old fellas, to the commie max 🙂 🙂 😛
Also, as soon as we get the Org's sorted out I will make some new graphics to link to Govt Org's, IRC, forums, etc that can be put as a signature on the end of all Govt media.
That would be good, thanks
If you need org links pm as I have a few odd ones that may of been misplaced over time
Also I have removed all last month cabinet members from the forum list to avoid anyone posting where they should not, Callum since Henry is lazier than yourself can you either update the list (as I know you are in the cabinet) or get me a list so I can amend it accordingly
too much text to read it all...
My god ... WHERE ARE THE DAMN PICTURES? ....
Cal, just before you submit your articles give it to someone to put in some pics ...
No. Ps org pls.
You get org when you do pics ....
