Ok, here are some more questions for the candidates, mostly focused on Lore and Culture but some miscellaneous too:

YES! I mean - er, I'd be delighted to answer your questions, in a professional and formal manner. 100%

Middle Barael wrote:

1) Would you support the continued growth of the Lore Ministry? (Not as in more Lore Ministers, just like more Lore Ministry projects)

OOC: Yeeeeeees! (Actually culture and roleplay in general)
Campaign: It is in Forest's interest to focus on expanding its recruiting and promoting of religious indoctrinations for prospective newcomers so they learn the evils of society and the horrific crimes against the environment they should feel personally responsible and guilty for through the cozy facade of a roleplay and culture.

2) Do you intend to keep the Cabinet pretty similar to the incumbent, or do you intend to shake things up?

OOC: I would keep whoever wanted to stay just because they've done a great job already, although I'd be up for new arrivals wanting to try a deputy position as well as replacing anyone who wanted to leave. :P
Campaign: I will chose my staff through a lottery system in order to create real equality among the residents of Forest. I also will make every cabinet member's sole job be to work on the map.

3) Would you support creating a sort of list of official Forestian things? Such as an official Forestian Anthem, an official Forestian Motto, an official regional food, etc?

OOC: Seeing as I've already done all of these things for another region... yes! Yes I would! But at the same time I'm not entirely certain "Forest" is really the kind of region to have a "regional anthem" or anything really, except for maybe a motto. That'd have to be discussed with the community at large before anything actually went through, hehe.
Campaign: The regional anthem will be a remix of Imperial March but with bird calls and waterfalls, the regional motto will be "Down with civilization!", and the regional food will be roasted seaweed and mushrooms on a bun... with a side of chocolate chip cookies.

4) Would you encourage more coöperation between the Lore and Culture ministries? Such as a contest to design the UoF flag, maybe a contest for a new RP idea, a Forestvision Song Competition, etc?

OOC: YES! 100% YES!
Campaign: No. They must eternally be at war. There will be no conspiring against the natural order.

5) Do you have any ideas for future RPs?

OOC: not atm; would kinda like to see what happens with the existing ones first, hehe.
Campaign: Civilization's Futile Struggle Against Godmodding Tree Stumps And Rising Sea Levels

6) Would you consider the idea of a weekly Lore showcase, where each week a different nation is selected (they’d have to volunteer though), and they get to share their nation’s lore?

OOC: I'm honestly not sure there'd be enough people interested for a weekly thing... though, we could always do something similar, but weekly. Or, we could collect volunteers and just feature them once a week or something.
Campaign: All of Forest's nations' lore will be erased and converted to the Holy Text of the Epic Mangrove God (Ransium), where nations were created as an experiment by trees to see how long they could cope with environmental shenanigans before failing.

And now some less serious questions:

OOC: Yay!
Campaign: No question is to be considered unserious by THIS potential future Forest Keeper.

7) Would you require all official Forest dispatches to use the Diaeresis to separate vowel sounds (e.g. coöperation, reëlect, zoölogy, Chloë)?

OOC: No.
Campaign: No.

8) Would you require all official Forestian dispatches to use the Oxford Comma?

OOC: No.
Campaign: I rescind my previous statement. This truly is a ridiculous question.

9) Would you create a yearly Errinundera Memorial Day, to mourn their CTEing, followed the next day by a big party over at The Bar on the corner of every region to celebrate their hopeful return in the messianic age?

OOC: YES.
Campaign: Alcohol is illegal in Jutsa.
OOC: Okay just forget Campaign me on this one this is too good an idea.
Campaign: No it isn't
OOC: Shut up
Campaign: No you shut up
OOC: What am I doing with my life

10) Will you please not fire me?

OOC: Of course not, you're awesome! <3
Campaign: I can't promise you that. Should the RNG gods of the New Lottocracy favor you, or be pleased with a sufficient number of land bribes, then you should have nothing to worry about.

You don’t all have to answer all of these, so we don’t clutter up the RMB. Just answer as many as you want.

OOC: Oops.
Campaign: The people deserve to know the answers, regardless of the cost of cleanliness! If sacrifices must be made, they will be made! *Throws jellybeans at the crowd*
