"I believe lowering business taxes throughout the City of Providence would help to stimulate more economic growth and lower the barrier of entry for our markets. Private investment in the city is paramount to promote while the Imperial Eye is focused on developing the provinces. I support Aldermanic Candidate Otis in his proposal to lower business taxes."

-Mayor Al Sylvester Halcourt

"I am very excited to host this event with our friends in Talon's Port. This will be a great competition that will test the sailors of Almaris beyond normal ability. We look forward to all the festivities and spreading the spirit of competition!"

A Call for Bread!

Fair citizens of Providence there is an urgent need for bread to help feed the poor of the Empire. In a partnership between both the Nationalists and Josephites as well as the Metropolitan Manfried we are hosting a bread drive to benefit the before mentioned hungry.

Those donating any amount of bread or other foodstuffs will be given a participatory ticket that can be turned in at the Novellen Tavern for a drink.

Food will be collected in the main square of Providence in front of the House of Commons and will proceed to the Providence Cathedral.

The day will end with a celebratory mass and merriment at the Novellen.

This event is being brought to you by Halcourt for Mayor. 

((Mass is at 7EST on 2/6/2021))
 

Alphonse Sylvester Haclourt eyes the missive and determines it would be in the best interest of his fledgling campaign to attend. So many voters gathered under one roof would be quit the opportunity to rub elbows with the citizens of fair Providence. He would have to write to his campaign manager the fair Porphrio to create a strategy for the night.

It comes down to procedure. The process of getting lore approved or making an event happen involves going through layers of staff

authority -- like calling customer service. If I want to fight a dragon or build a town or write a piece of lore I have to find the right person to talk to, hope I have the time to talk to them over several days on Discord, and hope that our schedules align across timezones. This is daunting to do for new players and just generally frustrating and time-consuming. I'd rather just get a D&D group together.

 

I oppose staff regime change. Telanir isn't terribly active or driven, but he's also not an idiot; there's no guarantee whoever gets on the other end of a hypothetical ownership transfer wouldn't be. We've had absolutely horrific admins in the past who have ran with what little authority they've had; getting away with anything from spawning in sharpness swords to grooming children. I think the problem doesn't lie with the admins themselves but their policies: Admin approval should be stripped out from most minor, non-world-altering decisions. Red tags and managers should be comfortable giving up some of their authority to low-level staff and players with ambition.

I think some of that does come down to different teams having different culture and changing regulations. You can still for the most part get land from any one of the nations on the map and create something new. I have seen quite a few towns popping up on the additional tiles owned by the nations which is a much better way to integrate roleplayers into the greater story then one off settlements ever will be. You are right about not really needing Admin approval for a lot of what is voted on. The reason why that stuff ends up there is because of pass controversies where people complain which forces a response out of Admins to grab the reigns tighter. 

On regime change. Telanir does not own the server or really run it day to day at all. I was more saying that something very radical like that would need to happen to really shake up the culture from the top down. Either that or all players who have been here over three years step back from nation leadership.
