Do you feel your needs are heard by our government?

View Answers

Yes.
2 (66.7%)

No.
1 (33.3%)

If no, I encourage you to share your concerns below. I am in a position where I could be of some help. (As long as the requests don't fly in the face of her values.)

I work for our government now, you see. I want everyone to be heard, though, of course, we must all make sacrifices - some of us more than others. Such is the nature of living on a new planet.

Hi, sorry, I don't understand the question?

[The idea that a government should help the people it rules over, let alone that it might want to help, is completely foreign to her.]

[politicallyinclined]

A government should serve the people. Do you feel safe? Heard? Are there any issues you would like raised with officials?

[abnormalizes]

It should? That's definitely a new concept for me.

I feel very safe here, and I don't have any real complaints.

[A new otherworlder government employee..? That's interesting. So far, the Otherworlder Ambassador was the only one Hijikata knew of.]

What is your position/role, if I may ask?

[While he's at it, he'll share his main concern, too.]

I'm not voting in your poll because I haven't actually reached out to the Mayor or anyone else with my current main concern, but perhaps it makes more sense to centralise these things through our representatives (such as yourself). I'm concerned about the lack of progress in exploring/researching/repelling the Darkness.

Our last concerted effort was the mecha beta testing a few months ago, but that didn't exactly end well, and so far the testing hasn't resumed, to my knowledge. How can we contribute to making progress?

(Padmé has taken up some of the duties she had before as a Senator for Naboo.)

I call myself a Senator, though no one voted for me. I am still willing and able to speak on the behalf of the Otherworlders in government committees. I want to make sure our rights are protected.

(She has similar concerns. The Darkness is just another manifestation of the Dark Side to her.)

I will make inquiries and see where the research stands. Until I have solid answers, I can only encourage you to work on your magical powers. Those are surely our best weapon in case of an attack.

[mayoninofukucho]

[Does Ellipsa even have a senate..? The better question would probably be if it did, before the Darkness came and left places like Nightwake City in isolation. But either way, Hijikata sees no harm in Padmé keeping what he assumes to be her title from home.]

I'm honestly not too worried about our rights. This place and the people have been generous to us in return for our help. I think it's been working out well.

[Thanks to the otherworlders more resources have been brought into the city from the Segments, and the safe areas out there are now even accessible to the natives thanks to the teleport crystals. That's progress!]

Thanks for following up on the matter, Senator. And rest assured that I'll keep practising my magic. I'm confident that most of us aren't slacking on that front.

It's not perfect, but no form of government is. I believe our needs are being met well enough, and with such a spread of individuals with differing wants and expectations, that's impressive in its own right.

[politicallyinclined]

Yes, I have been impressed by the kindness and generosity we have faced. I certainly don't mind giving back to this community in return. As long as the balance is observed, there should be little dissent.

There were some concerns raised recently regarding the needs of children who arrive here.

Particularly those who lack life skills to look after themselves, due to age or other circumstances.

text

[politicallyinclined]

I know schools have been offered, but are the children expected to work?

[knowsvinewhip]

That is the question. It seems as if they would be, as I don't recall any differing conditions for children during my arrival.

I said no because I don't have any idea how to like tell the government what I need?

The last politician I ran into was the guy who was definitely not actually the mayor.

[politicallyinclined]

Talk to me. I will relay your message, you have my word.

Okay. Um...what's going on with the fey under the Mushroom Sanctuary?

[flirtatiousdancer]

And what if I have not attempted to contact the government here?

[Text]

[politicallyinclined]

Do you feel the need to contact them? Do you have everything you need?

[Text]

[flirtatiousdancer]

No. I have all I need here, unless we can request specific people to be brought here from death.

With you onboard, anything that needs done stands a better chance. Are you happy with how it runs so far?

[Text]

[politicallyinclined]

There are some flaws - as I would expect with any government - but I don't think they are giant hurdles to overcome. This is a good place.

[foundherway]

I'm glad to hear it.

First you must tell me: what do you think makes the government of this world?

To my knowledge the only real leaders here would be the guild ones. Maybe the Mayor. What is the government you plan to deal with?

[politicallyinclined]

The people make the government. More specifically, those who are native to this world.

Those in charge. The guild leaders and the Mayor as you say. We can grow the government to include otherworlders.

[pyramidsmash]

Let's say we succesfully get otherworlder's on the government here. They become important figures of the world.

And then that important figure gets randomly thrown out of the world. Without a warning. It has happened before and could happen again.

What then?

un: PurpleMage

[demondelic]

Before I answer your question, I must ask one of my own for clarification's sake:
What exactly would having otherworlders in government effect?

I do not mean this question in ill will, of course. We did not have a government in the realm I hail from, at least not within the span of my memory.
My understanding of how they work is very basic.

[politicallyinclined]

A good question. By having Otherworlders involved in the local government, our needs and concerns can be addressed alongside the needs and concerns of the local populace. When laws are decided, we can have a say and ensure our rights are protected.

I believe a democracy is the best governmental system. In a democracy, representatives are elected to speak for the people so no one is left out.
