Monday March 7th till Sunday March 13th has been declared National Rouyn Week. This is a time to celebrate everything Rouyn has done for The Exodus and her nations. Rouyn has served with honor, intergrity, and loyalty. He has made our region and her nations proud.

I for one am honored to call Rouyn a friend, and to have him in this region.

I have never really gotten to know Rouyn personally as I've only been in this region for about two and a half months and don't have the history some of you have with him. However, he always seemed to be a kind-hearted and well-intentioned person. I can speak more about the great job he did as regional delegate before his personal life starting interferring. He always tried to spark a genuine debate about resolutions, encourage people to pursue writing and getting a resolution to vote, and if I'm not mistaken, he played a large role in helping AA get the great Hemp Resolution passed. He always voted according to the will of the region even if he personally disagreed, which is the job of the delegate. And he was willing to consider the opposite side and change his mind about a resolution if anyone made sound arguments, which led me to believe in his integrity and that he was honestly interested in seeking and finding the truth and what was right. Lastly, he just damn well knew what he was doing. I recall when the stupid Global Library resolution was passed, that not too long afterwards, I suggested to him that perhaps we should draft a resolution that would repeal the Global Library resolution. He replied to me that we could do that but suggested that we wait a few weeks because it was likely that another nation in another region would draft such a resolution. Well, a few weeks later a resolution to repeal the Global Library resolution came to vote and was passed at the UN. He was a great delegate and his recent abscence due to personal issues should not lead anyone to think differently.

Rouyn, I wish I could speak French so I could address you in your native language, but I don't so English will have to do. The thoughts of the citizens and government of Pitts Park are with you as you battle injustice in your personal life. We are not exactly clear what your personal problems are, it seems that you have undeservedly found yourself in trouble with tax issues. However, we wish you well and hope that the truth will set you free. We hope to see you back soon again honorably serving The Exodus as UN Delegate, free from major personal life worries.

I leave you with the beautiful words of one of my favorite writers, Antoine de Saint Exupery from his wonderful book, "The Little Prince": (as I said, I don't speak French so this is just a google translation, which means it will probably get screwed up, but so be it) "Il est seulement avec le coeur qu'on peut voir correctement; ce qui est essentiel est invisible à l'oeil." (Intended translation: "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.")

I nominate The Open-Source Government of Switzerstan as our UN delegate. I think that (s)he has done incredibly well with his/her country and has a broad number of endorsements already and has similarly endorsed a wide range of nations in our region.

I think this would be a great choice, as Switzerstan is not currently in the government. I think it would be a bad idea to allow nations to hold more than one government spot.

Sargonites can you move your post to the UN Delegate Nomination thread please?

Also, I would like offer my thanks and gratitude to Rouyn for everything he has done for us. He came in as a temporary delegate replacing our previous delegate Pangeaa. He came in at a rough time in our regions history. But, he took the delegacy, and carried us through that tough time, and did a great job all around. Rouyn has helped this region in countless ways, and my words can never be an adequate enough to ever truly thank Rouyn for what he has done for us.

What can I say about Rouyn... :) AA is right Rouyn stepped into his position and took to it like a duck to water. He was a natural. He always put the region first when he voted and always strived to make this region better. I personaly had great chats with Rouyn. He's funny and witty. He is very passionate about his beliefs. I am honored to have known him, and can't wait until his speady return. :)

I must confess I didn't know Rouyn well. I didn't chat with him much, and our jobs didn't really cross paths except for the Pangeaa affair. What I do know is that he served his region well, and the future is bright.

I feel honoured to have served under Rouyn during his reign as UN delegate.

Rouyn was (and is) a great intuitive leader that knows how to get things done. He stepped in and united The Exodus during tough times (i.e the Pangeaa affair). In fact, my absolute loyalty to this region is due in part because of Rouyn's guidance and friendship.

I had the delight as serving as Rouyn's first diplomat, we made quite the team. Rouyn then requested that I attempt to get the FORT alliance up and running, a project that I think we both hold close to our hearts.

Rouyn, t'est vraiment aime ici a L'Exodus. J'espere avec tout mes sens que vous etes capable de retourner rapidement, car ici, on est tous des amis. Comme j'ai dit en avant, n'oublie pas la joie de vivre! Venez nous visitez!! (Et excuser-moi, car mon ordinateur n'a pas d'accents et mes abilites de grammaire sont completement perdu ;) )

Come back home soon, Rouyn...
