Welcome to Europeia!
So what the heck is Europeia anyways?

Can I join?

So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go?

What offices are there for people to be elected into?

What is there for me to do in Europeia?

That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more?

HEM @ 8:48 PM EST: I lost track of where we are. Are we essentially talking about what kind of mailbox we should use to deliver our content abroad?

HEM @ 8:50 PM EST: ALSO ENN GOT A SHOUTOUT ON THE DEBATE.

...It was because they hated us, but that's pretty typical. :baghead:

That's been, essentially, this entire Presidential election season.

Concluding Thoughts

At the end of the day, everyone get's graded on a curve because this is the first time anything like this has been tried. There was a lot of shade to throw around at everyone, but it is HARD talking in real time.

Calvin: Calvin got nailed early because he got two very tough questions. I think by clarifying the rules he looked like the less prepared one -- which might be true to a fault -- but he got shafted bit time by circumstance and the questions.

Sopo: Sopo probably won this debate by a hair, but his answers came off very...well...boring. He came across as much more confident than Calvin, but I actually wasn't too enthralled by his content.

Moderators: I can recognize that Hyanygo was trying to avoid a stale debate by actually challenging the candidates, but I think it backfired for the most part. This debate was suppose to be between the two candidates, and he really came across as too confrontational and oftentimes seemingly exasperated (especially at the start when he expected Calvin to have SMART tattooed on his hand). Despite this, it would be remiss to not THANK Hyanygo and Peace Republic for organizing this debate. Even if it was not the perfect debate, it was a truly exciting moment in Europeian history.

I can now finish my lesson plans for delivery in .... 5 hours ....

Moderation and interviewing is pretty hard (see here). My thanks to Peace Republic for reminding me a couple of hours beforehand that I had a debate at 1AM :D

I think it was cool to hear everyone live. Maybe not super informative but thinking on your feet is a good signal imo.

I thanked you for the work you put into the debate. I am grateful. That doesn't make you immune from criticism.

Of course not. But I'd be lying if I said I'd actively want to improve on that area (interviewing and moderating are the least of my concerns). My first choices in leading the debate were in the tickets themselves.

If you give this mouse a cookie, she'll probably ask for some cheese.

I look forward to listening to the debate on the Showreel ... probably tomorrow sometime. :D

For all those times a President asks the EAAC, or leadership subform or Tomlinson for help on tricky topics. Therefore delaying a reply and giving the opportunity to create s calculated, non-on-feet, response :P
