Falconias has not been online for three days, and the days previous that he was active were barely so. We sit in a critical position as a region, mired by disagreement and tumultuous change; however, we must not forget the vicissitudes of this region's fate. This is not the first time we have been in a rough position, nor will it be the final time. As a region, we have to come together now and solve a problem. As of this moment, I will be acting as the head of this "government."

Please, bear with me. I know a lot of you don't like me much and a lot of you think I'm trying to take over. I assure you, I am not, and my interests lie with Equinox's survival. Our bus driver has fallen asleep at the wheel, and I'm merely keeping us above 60 miles per hour so we don't explode. I do not wish to betray Falconias, however, because I do believe he will return shortly. I do not think we should change the government drastically until he can explain it better.

To show why you shouldn't hate me for this, my first act is to create a new position called the Head Executive Officer. The Head Executive Officer will be a popularly elected position and head of the other executives. The position will operate similarly to the Chancellor, directing the "cabinet" and ensuring the completion of its tasks. Elections for this position will commence immediately.

Additionally, elections for Chief Regional Ambassador will restart. Now that we've had a discussion about them, I think we can get going forward. Personally, I think Fortana won, but I haven't seen him around these past few days, and I have a feeling if we award it to him, he won't know for a while. The Regional Disciplinary Committee will be utilized henceforth as an exploratory committee and meeting place for guilds and government. I'm not declaring it a legislature, but it'll be used to talk about new ideas and make decisions in a civil manner.

If Falconias does not return in one week, we will have a vote to return to the constitution in place prior to this whole mess, and elections will commence for the positions it has. At that time, I will be willing to resign from Equinox, if you, the people, want it. I understand you're not going to be happy with me about this, but please understand that I'm trying to bring elections and civility to a system you're unhappy with and to promise a return to an acceptable system if unhappy still.

Yours in Service,
Hadisthe

Equinox Code
 
5) Head Executive Officer: The Head Executive Officer is expected to lead the other executives in the management of the region. All other executives report to this officer and are charged to work with it towards a common goal set at the beginning of each term. The Head Executive Officer is responsible for ensuring the other executives complete their tasks, communicating the position of and representing the government to the people, and effectively communicating the state and desired direction of the region to the other executives. And unsuccessful term is one lacking a coherent goal, virtually absent of federal communication with the people, or an inability to ensure acceptable executive performance government-wide.

I'm just glad someone's taking charge. Time we all got behind the government and really put in the effort. I am hoping to run for Chief Ambassador, if there are to be further elections, and I also hope that my fellow region mates will also dedicate their time to bringing the region out of this free-fall.

Quick edit. Is my retired legend mask a citizenship mask?

I don't know. I'll look. If Fortana declines the position, I'll leave it at that. I'm going to try to hunt him down and ask him to run again, now that we've all kind of chilled a bit and can maybe force ourselves to choose something other than abstain.

Update on Fort: Lethen says he's barely around in his original region of Europeia. Also added that he's fast becoming a Peaceful Llamas, and just accruing positions and ultimately doing nothing with any of them.

Yes. However, it's also what half the region said it wants and the other half said nothing about. I can only assume that half of us want an elected leader and the other half don't really care, as long as things work.
