I think we should hold an election for Native Cheif soon, even if only to confirm Pharoahs haven under the new Constitution. I also have a further suggestion. If we hold an election that opens, say, October 6th (which would close October 9th), maybe the next election should occur January 1-3, even though that wouldn't quite be the three months mandated by the Constitution. Every subsequent election to that would occur every three months. I suggest this because having a three-day election open on the first (as opposed to some other day) of a month seems more "intuitive" in a way. It seems like it will be easier to keep track of as we grow. Maybe it's just me. I don't know.

This would mean the term of the first Native Cheif elected under the new Constitution (probably PH, unless they decide not to run), would be cut a bit short. There are no term limits, however, so the Native Cheif who term expired January 3rd could continue to serve indefinitely if reelected. One alternative to this could be for the upcoming election to be held November 1-3. The election after that would be held February 1-3 and so on.

Of course, another alternative could just be for us to hold our elections on whatever days of every three months that we end up holding our first election on (the 6th through the 9th for example), regardless of whether or not it's the 1st through the 3rd.

I like the idea of having elections at the start of the month ( with October being an exception)

Hopefully soon. Apparently, WZ Europe needs three more days to ratify their state-regional constitution. I don't know about Airspace. Unfortunately, I've been busy with work and class but I'll try to be on longer Tomorrow or Wednesday. I'd also like to introduce (or for someone else to introduce) some legislation in the Council here. I think we need official (even if simple) process for the native status should be established. And then there's the Native Cheif election. I'll be back in a day or so.

Warzone Asia is hosting an event this month I think.

Werewolves in Warzone Asia (Community Event)

by The Admiralty of Alnorud

Werewolves in Asia!

Since the beginning of month, rumors have spread. When night falls, people start to hear the wolves in the woods.
Disappearances are more and more numerous these nights and the elders say that this must be resolved before the end of the month.

This is a Community Event hosted by Warzone Asia that will last until Halloween, it consists in Werewolf games.
The games will occur on our Regional Discord Server and aren't restricted to Asian Warzoners.
You can read the rules below!

Presentation and Rules
We will be using the rules of the French game The Werewolves of Millers Hollow (Les Loups-Garous de Thiercelieux), openly inspired by the Russian game Mafia.
At least six players would be needed for a game, players are divided in two teams: the Villagers and the Werewolves.
The game is divided in two parts, the Night and the Day. Werewolves will pick a player and kill them each night, villagers with special roles may also act during the night. Each day, every players alive will choose someone to hang as guilty of what happened during the night.

Of course, what makes the game funny is that people don't know the roles of the other players and mustn't reveal their role as long as they are alive.
Roles are given by the Game Master before the first night.
The last team with players alive will win the game. (The Werewolves or the Villagers)

Roles

• Werewolf: Every night, they will choose someone to kill and will act innocent during the day. Their goal is to kill every villagers.

• Seer: There can be only one seer in a game, they are on the side of the villagers and can discover the real role of a player every night.
  Reminder: Players can't communicate between them about the game outside the day channel, even if they are alive, if a Seer know who is a Werewolf but can't communicate it to the villagers... well, that's unfortunate but it's the game.

• Hunter: The Hunter is on the Villagers' side, when the hunter die, they may kill another player of its choice.

• Witch: The Witch is on the Villagers' side, she may use each of her two potions when she wants during the night but only once: a potion of life (Save someone from the Werewolves) and a potion of death (Kill someone).

• Cupid: Cupid is a villager and the first to use its power, Cupid choose two players and make them failing in love, if one of the lovers die, the other one will join them in death. However, if the lovers aren't on the same side (One being a villager and the other a werewolf), they may win by being the last remaining players alive.

• Ordinary Townsfolk: A villager without special powers. However we may not need this role if players are willing to add some of the numerous other roles in order to make the game more pleasant for the players.

• And a lot of other roles and surprises (The Elder, the Savior, the Pied piper, the Sisters, The vile father of wolves...), all what we need for them is players wanting to have some fun to celebrate October and Halloween, we hope to see you around!

Read dispatch

I'll volunteer to be on the native council.

For the record, I am not going to run for Native Cheif.

Welcome to the Native Council, MK. I read in some of the historical records that you were involved in the establishment of DPRWA. Or is that not quite it?

Given that it is Lunarcitys channel I believe it is up to them what we do about it.

As for your longer post I’m not going to quote due to its length, I think Native Chief Appointment should be enshrined in an Act of Law. When the Government gets going of course.

With three natives on the Council, it's probably all right to start discussing legislation and even introducing proposals. I think it would be preferable to hold off on any voting until LC (and HK if they're active soon) joins. They said they're busy IRL. I can sympathize and I wouldn't want them to be left out of the process because of that.

Pharoahs Haven, you suggested we clear up some electoral questions with an act of law. That sounds like a good idea. What specifically are you thinking? Do you plan to write a proposal?

I have some ideas myself. I think we should legislate some formal process for becoming a native of Warzone Africa. It wouldn't have to be complicated. Just to avoid confusion later on about who is and isn't a native. For example, the Native Cheif, the Premier, or someone else could be tasked with accepting or denying native status applications. Or something else. I don't have anything written up.

I nominate Pharoahs haven for Native Chief of the Democratic People's Republic of Warzone Africa. Do you, PH, accept?

In interest of constitutionally electing a Native Cheif ASAP, and finding it unlikely for more candidates to be nominated, I suggest we start the NC election soon (i.e. midnight UTC on Oct. 16, about 22 hours from now) with Pharoahs Haven (should they accept) and whichever other candidates are nominated (and accept that nomination) by that time.

Even if only Pharoahs Haven ends up running, I still think we should hold a three-day voting period (just on the RMB). This would just be for the sake of good standard practice. Of course, as Pharoahs Haven is already the incumbent Native Cheif, nothing will actually change over those three days (if Pharoahs Haven is indeed the only candidate). It's just good practice I think.

There are two other things I want to say:

1.) I move that the Native Council elect a Premier, who will serve as WZAI's head of government and delegate. I reccomend Lunarcity, as long as they can signal us, soon, their willingness to serve as Premier.

2.) I am currently drafting an Electoral Reform Act to clear up ambiguities in the electoral process (namely: a designated period for the nomination of candidates and a blanket primary (of more than two candidates) to eliminate all but the top two candidates for the general election). I am busy IRL so it might be a while before I propose it to the Council. We probably won't need these reforms anyway, until at least January 1, 2020.

Are you as tired as us at the Nambian covfefe company of hearing about Trump's possible impeachment? Let us know in our most recent poll!

If you are . . . maybe you could use a cup of our new Pumpkin Covfefe Latte Mocha! It's only available for the remainder of Spooktober, so get it before time runs out!

On a semi-related matter, Lunat City told me (via discord message) that they would serve as  Premier (head of government and Constitutionally-legitimate WA delegate) if elected by the Council. They did say they won't be the most active for a while. I think that will be all right for the time being though. As LC is already delegate and also has taken a leading role in the recent past, I think they're the best option for Premier at this time. If we need a more active Premier and if LC is still busy IRL, the Council can elect a new Premier at any time.

I motion that the Council elect Lunar City as Premier, by a majority of Councillors who vote (on the RMB or discord) on this matter within the next 24 hours.

As a Councillor, I vote for Lunar City as Premier of Warzone Africa.

That makes sense. If this were a competitive election and other candidates were voting for themselves, however, I don't think anyone would hold it against you (IDK maybe somebody would; I wouldn't at least).

3 times a charm! (P.S Your not good at raiding, you missed like a load of jumps)
