Here is whats been said in regards to Rouyns Absence:

31 minutes ago The Dazed and Confused Residents of Washinson

Just for the sake of argument (since everyone here seems to share the same opinion), I'll play Devil's Advocate and suggest that we stay calm and don't do anything until we get nearer to the point where action actually needs to take place.

Rouyn's only been inactive for 10 days, which isn't really that long of a time. The only thing we're missing out on right now is a delegate representing us for UN votes, and delegates missing out on UN votes happens quite frequently in various regions.

Besides, if the concern here extends beyond the voting issue and moves on to leadership, we have an excellent founder, not to mention numerous government officials who can standy by for emergency situations.

I guess my only question is, "What's the rush?" I don't know Rouyn too well, but remember having him mention that r/l was hectic. I suggest waiting a few more days before making any decisions on this issue, to spare feelings and a sense of panic/pandamonium in the region. Don't use haste to make waste. :) LONG LIVE THE EXODUS!!!!

30 minutes ago The Dazed and Confused Residents of Washinson
Why, HELLLLOOOOOO kittiekat! Puurrrrrrr.... and welcome to our wonderful region. Please make yourself at home. :)

27 minutes ago The Federation of Beestonia

I think the interim delegate should be appointed by the Senate.

We have only a short window of oportunity to act, so I suggest the Senate convene tomorrow to appoint an interim delegate. The interim delegate may not, of course, serve any longer once Rouyn returns or ceases to exist.

What do you folks think?
16 minutes ago The Federation of Beestonia Washinson, I do not believe there is a feeling of panic/pandamonium in the region. 10 days IS a long time for a top government official to be inactive. There will been 2 resolutions that have passed without the voice of The Exodus known.

We have no word on the whereabouts of Rouyn, and the new delegate will only be interim until he returns... and I do hope he returns and all is well. That being said, it is time to act, not to wait another 10 days to see what happens. Let's have a delegate for those 10 days!

-Senator Beestonia

16 minutes ago The Republic of Pitts Park

Hmmm....I am clearly outvoted here, but I will let my voice be heard nonetheless. I understand the concern about having an active delegate at the UN, but if I understand the UN voting rules correctly, every UN member gets one individual vote and the UN delegate's vote counts for the number of endorsements he has received. While a significant portion of our votes are eliminated without Rouyn voting, we still have our individual votes. I'd rather see Rouyn maintain his place and no temporary delegate take his place for now. Rouyn has been UN delegate for six months now, and in the time that the Republic of Pitts Park has been in the region, Rouyn has served this region commendably with his knowledge, reason and concern for the opinions of the nations in this region. We feel it would be a disloyal insult to replace him without his knowledge or approval despite his recent absence after the many months he has admirably performed his duty to this region. We would rather wait until either Rouyn returns (we hope this will happen and soon) or until his nation is officially eliminated by NS to elect a new delegate. We are willing to temporarily sacrifice his voice in the UN until one of these two developments occurs.

As we said before, we know we are in the minority and we expect the region to move forward to get a new temporary delegate. Although we disagree with this decision, we respect it, will abide by it and will not do anything but protest verbally here to stop it.

Since it appears that this is the course the region will take, we suggest that Lykle temporarily take over since he is second-in-command to Rouyn as Diplomat, is he not? Should the region instead decide to vote for a temporary delegate, the Republic of Pitts Park will abstain from voting in these elections.

We thank you for allowing our voice to be heard even when we are in the minority.

Interim President of Pitts Park

8 minutes ago The Immortal Spirit of The Avenging Angels

Washinson was merely playing devils advocate, and was trying to voice another opinion.

Pitts Park makes a good argument as well, every UN nation has the ability to vote. So, even in Rouyns absence we can vote.

Like everything this issue will hopefully be decided upon by a regional consensus.
8 minutes ago The Federation of Beestonia While I understand your argument, Pitts Park, I do not believe temporarily replacing Rouyn is disloyal. Rouyn would only want the best for the region as well. On another note...

Doesn't Rouyn's brother have a nation in NS?? Maybe he could enlighten us as to Rouyn's condition. Does anyone know the name of his nation?

-Beestonia

3 minutes ago The Immortal Spirit of The Avenging Angels

Surginox has been inactive for a long time now, somewhere around 16 or 17 days.

Sorry if this seems confusing. I am tired, and I am not explaining my thoughts that well. I am torn on this issue personally. We need an active UN delegate, but Rouyn has faithfully served this region for a long time now. Part of me says let Rouyn stay on till he comes back or ceases to exist, or we appoint an interim delegate of the region. I am still unsure.

A long time ago I was a UN delegate in a region called Ille de France, and due to real life matters I was absent for a long time, and I was booted from the region so a new delegate could take over.

Matters like this are tough to decide, and I am hoping are collective wisdom, and logic wil prevail in this matter.

I am making my official positiopnl be known here. I was for the temporary delegate idea, but this is a very tough decision, and I have changed my mind.

I would like to say that we wait it out till Rouyn either comes back or ceases to exist, and then go from there. I deeply apologize for any confusion, and my indecisiveness.

I also apologize because I started this panic of sorts. I started thinking about how I was in Rouyns position once, and I started thinking about how I wished others had handled my situation. As I stated above, my official position is to wait it out, and see what happens to Rouyn. I apologize once more for any panic or confusion on this matter.

I would like to voice the option of a "shadow delegate," one that would maintain less UN endorsements than Rouyn, but would be fully capable of taking over should Rouyn cease to exist.

I'm still wondering if Lykle, as Diplomat, is officially second-in-command to Rouyn. Can anyone answer that question for me? If that is the case, then I would suggest that Lykle become this so-called "shadow delegate." Otherwise, I would support something like a 5-day regional election to choose this "shadow delegate" and if Rouyn were to cease to exist, then this elected shadow delegate would automatically become the new UN Delegate for the region.

I would also like to reiterate the sentiments that others in the region have expressed, that we hope that Rouyn is OK in RL and that he comes back to NS very soon. He has served this region extremely well for the entire time that Pitts Park has been a member of The Exodus.

Yes, Pitts Park, the Diplomat is second-in-command to the delegate.
However, Rouyn has now returned and will not cease to exist (!) He will be, however, due to his absence, subject to a Senate review hearing to determine course. Hope this answers your questions!!

I would suggest that if Rouyn cannot fulfill his duties as delegate then we hold an election to pick a new UN Delegate for the region.

I agree, AA. But rather than completely ousting Rouyn, perhaps we should elect a temporary delegate while Rouyn takes a "leave of absence". Either way, I think the region needs an active delegate soon!

I would have to agree with you Beestonia, after a lot of thinking. The idea of a temporary delegate seems most appropriate. So, when should the nomination period start? I suggest we have a week long nomination period, and a week long election period.

I would also like to make all next week National Rouyn Appreciation Week. This will be a time to celebrate Rouyn, and everything he has done for this region, and her nations. Rouyn has bettered this region in so many different ways.

I'm sorry for all the trouble that my absence may have cause, but i'm sure whit all the great nation around, you must have pass trough this realy easily.

If you wan to know why I was not here: I'm ruin. For some reason, the income tax is after me ( I did notthing rong, but some dude over theire think yes in 2000, I was 18 and my annual income was 9 000 $). Now, Supposly I have to pay them a large amount of money (I lost everything that got).

I know that is a mistake (supposely, I wasn't a School regardin the fisc, so I will probably get refund, but it will take time...)

A good advise: If the fisc send you a advise that sound realy stupid, CALL BACK ASAP, or it will cost you alot...

Now like a annimal, I'm still at university and I plan my wedding (this summer). So when all this will be solved, I will be back. Since this time, I won't be around alot for the

If the consil wish that I resing, I will do it.

Regard,

Rouyn
I will be back in 24 hours.

thanks,

Okay, so I determined that I should protect the rainforests instead of permitting uranium mining. Now I have tourists visiting, and my national animal is frolicking through the lush forests. lol, that's not what I asked for. :D

Rouyn! We've never met, but I've heard many good things about you. Thanks for taking a moment and letting us know what's happening.
When you say you'll be back after it's all resolved, is that aimed for the summertime or so? We could elect a temporary delegate until that time, and keep your position open. << my opinion, only. :)

Good morning Exodonians!!! I have a proposition to make...

Rouyn has stated he will not be able to fully serve The Exodus until summer at least. Dont get me wrong, I love Rouyn and he has been a damn good delegate. But the region's voice needs to be heard at the UN, so I propose Rouyn take a "leave of absence" until he has RL sorted out. We can elect a temporary delegate and Rouyn can feel free to come back anytime. While our thougths need to be with Rouyn right now, the region still needs to function properly. This is just my opinion, what do you guys think??

I concur with my esteemed colleague Beestonia. Rouyn has always put the needs of the region before his own. I am all for a temporary alternate covering for Rouyn durring his leave of absence. Once things have calmed down and Rouyn has control of his RL then he will resume his position as UN Delegate once again, and continue to do the best job for The Exodus. I hope all nations will take a moment and think back on all the times Rouyn has been there for us in the past and take that into consideration. He deserves that respect at least. Thank you for your time.

Rouyn,
We wish you well and hope your troubles in RL quickly go away---that truth and justice are served and that you can soon come back to the comparatively trivial matters of NS. We look forward to the day when you can again regularly and honorably serve The Exodus.



Members of The Exodus,

We agree with the general consensus of electing a temporary delegate. We like AA's idea of a week-long nomination period and week-long election and we feel this should start ASAP as long as this appears to be the general consensus of the region. As soon as Rouyn is able and would like to come back and resume his post, this temporary delegate would resign and Rouyn would resume his post. Our voice does need to be heard in the UN, and Rouyn need not worry while he's gone, there are many capable nations here to perform the duties of UN Delegate (although no one can fill Rouyn's shoes!!!)

We also support AA's idea of National Rouyn week for a regional show of solidarity with Rouyn in the hope that he is able to quickly and rightly sort out his RL problems. Our thoughts are with you, Rouyn!

Well, I think the overall idea of having a temp delegate seems favourable to most.

I like AA's timeframe proposal too, I would like to suggest the nomination period start Monday the 7th, followed by the election period starting Monday the 14th where each period will be 7 days long.

As for National Rouyn Week... great idea! I say a new thread should be started, to coincide with the election, where we can share our thoughts and memories of Rouyn.
