Public Investigation: People vs. Chieftess, Part IV

[Cyc]

Quoting eyrei:
The demogame does not revolve around you. If you want more power, run for a higher office.
_______________________________________

Sheesh! Who ever said anything about either of those statements. I'm not trying to prove the game revolves around me, I'm trying to help the people of The North Province as well as the governors of the future.

And if I wanted more power, I wouldn't do it by posting PI's. I would run for an office higher on the COC. I have already been Domestic Leader a couple of times. It doesn't get much better than that. I want to be a Governor, and I want the Governor's rights fully acknowledged.

 

[Veera Anlai]

Please remember that the duty of all Fanatikan citizens should be to help their COUNTRY before their personal goals. You may be the Governor of a province, but it should be your job to help that province serve Fanatika, not to bend Fanatika into supporting them. A Governor is meant to help Fanatika as a *whole,* not just their own little corner of it.

You know the quote. "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

 

[Goonie]

Who is that directed too?

 

[Veera Anlai]

It was at Cyc and his "I'm trying to help the people of North Province" comment.

 

[Goonie]

Now CYC is being ragged on(Canadian term. Dont know if you guys use it.) for doing his duty of serving his PROVINCE! That is why he was elected. I do not see that CYC's actions were selfish at all. There were workers in the NP and all he did was ask that they be used in accordance with his instructions. He was merely exercising his constitutional right and doing his job!

 

[Cyc]

In helping the cities of The North Province grow, Veera, I am helping the Nation. The North Province is one of the most productive in Fanatika, and by helping the growth and production of our cities, we are increasing the culture value, the gpt income, and the Military stregnth of Fanaitika. That's pretty obvious.

I think it is time to move this one to the verdict poll.

 

[naervod]

I will post the verdict poll immediately.

 

[Veera Anlai]

I believe it is a Governor's duty to serve her *nation* not her province. Maybe I'm alone in that sentiment.

 

[Cyc]

I am too Veera. Go up and read post #26 again.

 

[Veera Anlai]

Helping the nation by helping yourself? Not quite what I had in mind when I said that Cyc ;-)

 

[ravensfire]

Consider the Governor of a state. Although they do keep the nation in mind, their decisions are, and should be, most strongly influenced by the needs of their state. Their goal is to keep their state in the strongest possible condition, able to support the nation and the local area.

Here, the Governor's goal ought to be to consider the overall goals of the nation, then determine how their province fits within those goals and how best to accomplish them. Cyc OUGHT to be thinking of his province first, but never to the detriment of the entire nation.

 

[Cyc]

Thank you, ravensfire, That's exactly what I'm trying to say. Veera believes that by trying to build a strong Province, I'm trying to help myself. There are no side deals here, no kick-backs. I'm not going to get rich off the next dam that's built in my Province. It's simply a matter of doing the job I was elected to do, and doing it well.
