Former Delegate of Q102

Well, I would like to point out that the UOC has lived up to one of its manifesto claims BEFORE being voted into power. We aimed to fight terrorism in a sensible and constructive way. However, as many of us are aware, it became apparent that RP issues should not become polititcal issues. We have pushed for the formation of the Q102 UN (not its official name) in the RP forums to live up to our promise, creating what may become one of the best RPs, and meeting a compromise that made everyone happy. Of course, I cannot omit the vital efforts of Nev and Zak as administrators in enabling this, but, nonetheless, it was UOC members that voiced this concern to the admin staff. We also feel that voters should not be fooled into voting PPP on the basis of experience. The PPP delegate does not have much experience in office, and the UOC has three members that are judges and are very active within Q102, some more active than many PPP members. We feel we could form a government just as credibly as the present government, if not moreso. The UOC propose that Q102 should be fun for all its members, and are willing to put in the effort to make sure this happens. We currently contribute greatly to all areas of the region and this would obviously increase if we were in power. Nev you should so join us! Come to the darkside! Of course, we are not the darkside, but a competent and effective political party. :D |

Why do we need to be neutral would be my next question, and how neutral is neutral? Do you think that less neutrality would lead to closer relations with other regions and that that might help activity? Don't worry I (and anyone else who wants to!) will ask PPP the same when some of them arrive :D |

I think it shows something about the PPP that none of my right-honourable associates have bothered to answer any of your questions Nev. :D |

Actually I think the UOC should be somewhat more patient in waiting for their fellow politicians to be available to answer questions rather than trying to score cheap points. However. I am concerned that the Councillor for Foreign Affairs seems to have no idea of the foreign policy of Q102, even more concerned that he seems not to feel this is a problem. Further more he has yet to respond to any foreign affairs issues in Parliament. Could the Delegate perhaps give us a statement? |

ok nev this is my response to your question...if some of it doesnt make sence then please ask me toy reexplain, i started getting all proud and excited when i typed this out I am regeting not putting a more defined deffinition in the bill that was passed,nutral in respect to the poeple and regions in nation states, to hold outside of the overall invader/defender relations in NS, eg the ADN and the RLA, and DEN, the superregional networks thats only perpuse is to disrupt the other, the system that has been set up as the "only" way to to play nation states ignoring all others. when people come into Q102 i want them to be known as ____ from _____, not _____ from ______, sworn member of the (insert invader/defender org here) to crush all those that seek to do harm against ______. when bam from the ASE or Party for Canada, or ZO for TWP come here they are just that 3 people from another region nothing more nothing less. the whole system makes me head hurt, and once poeple see that we want to part of it, they will not see us a target nor a potent threat or a vivable tagert (we are way to big to be invaded easily now, even more so that we have an active founder). so to wrap things up....we are not a target becasue we dont make ourselves one, we are nether right nor left, we do not invade of defende, and we acept all into q102 with open arms and never pass judgment on those that enter, but welcome them warmly. why does being nutaral so importent you ask, it is a metter of distiction there are very few regions in nation states that are truely nutral, some say they are some work on being more nutral, but we are the only on that is, was, and hopefuly stay. i like to think of Q102 to be a island for those that dont want to deal with the "hard core" players, or want to take a break from that persona. a spa for the nation states world were when they come here they know that a judgment will not be passed onto them and can interact like a community on a game wide scale not a regional once, but if we start taking a side we alienate the other and become less wecoming as a whole. i am not saying that we should never allie ourselved with another region, becasue i think that is were the focus of this game should be, between the regions not some spraling alliance that is above the regions themselve, the self proclamed "protectors" of the nation states world, or the "pillagers" ether. look at all the regions we are close too, hyrule canada, the ASE, TWP and others, oh so many others, Nev and everyone look at all the places that you have been to and think of all the times that you hear Q102 come up.....never once have i ever read anything bad, other then small inerregional pot shots. we have somehow been able to serpass that idea that the only way to be notices is to be extrem, and i have to say to everyone here that it has been becasue of the hard work and great additudes of all of us that has made it this way, GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!!!! Would being less nutral help ativity? i dont think it would....look around, i log on alot when im home then log off, but never staying too far away for any lenth of time, and i see activity has jumped so much, i come on after 10 hours and almost every section is blinking wiht new posts, 3 (i think) new member in less then a week, our RP is ripe with new ideas and new stories, and new members. our government has not seen this much activity in a very long time...and the random threads are going again with new members and new topics. for those that were here when Nev made a plea to the members of Q102 was droping off and becomeing in active, we took up the flame that was smoldering in the ashes and breathed new life on the tired flame making it anew, some has left some have become less active, but many more have come, and i myself have felt a new exictment for my region as many of the old nationd themselves ahve felt too. OH MY GOD IAM GOING TO STOP NOW, I THINK I WENT A LITTLE OVER THE TOP. thanks for reading all that and ignoring the bad spelling and run on sentences CM |

Neutrality is necessary so we do not become a target. If we take one side we become the target of the other. If we just back away and stay neutral then, we have less chance to become targeted by certain sects of NS. it is PPP's Foreign Policty to have Q102 actively participate in World Events but to keep our neutrality while we are at it. |

The issue everyone seems to be focussing on here is invasion, and protection thereof, but with Schotze actve, myself on 20 plus endorsements, and delegate controls disabled that makes us an univiting enough target anyway imho, What Q102 needs more than anything else is international recognition. We need to be seen running with the big boys. At the moment, we're playing the dield, seeing what works. We have embassies with a number of key players in the NS world, but if you go into that region t tends only to be known through the work of our stirling ambassadors. The Q102-Canada ambassador protocol turned some heads in our direction, and I think similar events may be needed to propel us onto the main stage. My ambition is to get recognition for Q102 up with the likes of Gatesville or TPC, recognised and respected almost instantly, and I think it's that which should be our number one Foreign Affairs Policy. |

Hmm. Very interesting points by everyone. I don't think CM has ever made such a big post! lol. Bunnies, he might have been but he dodged the question so I was trying to pin him down, hey, is there a role for a Q102 Paxman :D PC, very interesting satement there. Lots to take in and a real statement of intent. So the parties could on foreign policy be summed up as: UOC: Status quo - keep our heads down and make no firends or enemies PPP: Stand up and take part in the world Is that fair? I do wonder if that things might be differenet from the early days. We are such an established region that people do come to vivist us and whether we take a position or not, people notice that. I think we probably have made some enemies already whether we like it or no. Certainly the ADN is very cool towards us as we showed no interest in supporting or joining them. The regions coming to us for embassies are more significant and we have contact and embassies with some of the Pacifics too now. I do hope that Q102 will keep it's fairness, openess and approachability whatever direction we go in. Those are the best things that the Free Port has brought us. But I also am attracted to the idea of not being neutral in everything. It sounds a bit exciting :D Someone else must have some questions for them? or any repsonses to what has been read so far? I'd like to hear a response from the UOC to Delegate Cowards speach too. |
