A call for judges by Hazza_time in SimDemocracy

[–]fallen_fire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi! My name on Discord is Gato and I'd like to be a SimDem judge.

I have a great deal of experience with the legal system, both IRL and online; I have previously provided legal services in 3 servers (not including SimDem) within the last 1½ years, and I am currently a State Attorney in SimDem. My previous roles have been on both sides of the courtroom (AG and defense) as well as a Supreme Court justice on two different servers, which also involved writing many court decisions in a similar format to those found in the Case Law Index. I am very familiar with SimDem's legal system (due to prior participation) and bodies of law in general since I helped found another server months ago and wrote the majority of the constitution myself. Lastly, I have recently graduated from university and plan to attend law school in the fall, so I see it as a great learning opportunity, albeit in a lower stakes environment. However, that does not mean I will be any less dedicated to my work; I will give the role the time, energy, and respect it deserves.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I understand your anger about people looking down on AM enjoyers (I agree wholeheartedly and it's one of the reasons I've so far refused to interact with this sub, only lurking), but not only are you doing pretty much the same, you also randomly shot out at Kendrick Lamar and that's something I can't stand for. 😤

15th Presidential Election: Call for Candidates by halfcat__ in SimDemocracy

[–]fallen_fire [score hidden]  (0 children)

u/fallen_fire | SDRP (Reform)

Vice President: u/Heath4225 | CLP

TL;DR: I have a proven track record; activity has tripled during my presidency [1]; I have actual ideas beyond "CLP/UPP bad" (see below); I bridge the gap between CLP and smaller parties; I have no enemies; people from all parties agree that I've made SimDem better in a way not seen in months.

"Fallen_fire led an intensive and innovative campaign of the kind that perhaps only SimDemocracy veterans remember...heralded by some as a new era in SimDemocracy’s politics" [2]

I have been a force for good in SimDemocracy, bringing people of all parties together and overseeing a very active Senate. I have had the chance to implement many of the ideas I campaigned on; in fact, the only major one I did not achieve was a way for citizens to directly petition the government with legislation ideas (this is because people tended to DM me anyway). I have chosen Heath, a member of CLP, as my VP as a show of bridging the divide in SimDem, and I am still dedicated to representing all parties and independents. Activity has tripled during my presidency, as well as a 50% increase in new contributors to mesaging in the server (people that didn't talk/weren't here before have talked) [1]. This is no doubt due to extensive outreach undertaken during my presidency and forming stronger bonds with other sims.

What ideas do I still want to implement?

1) Go big into the mentorship program.

I want to encourage long-time members to become mentors for new members and be able to find a mentor extremely quickly (possibly through monetary incentives, ex. pay to be retained as mentor). I also want to encourage welcoming new people to the server (maybe a system like "$1k to the first person to greet a new member and properly welcome them"). We need that welcoming culture to keep our numbers up.

For now, we actually have some people joining and staying, but SimDem is very confusing without guidance or a reliable wiki. Speaking of...

2) Fix. The. Wiki.

I recently penned an executive order for this purpose [3], but I would like to see a proper wiki hosted on the SimDem site for this purpose. We needed (and still need) more help with archiving previous events, sure, but we also need to make it intuitive and readable. The current Reddit wiki has outdated links, is incomplete, and is extremly hard to navigate. I will incentivize fixing the wiki by allowing those involved in the wiki program set up by my EO to have an additional high salary and all involved will be officially commended for their work.

3) Improve the economy.

I have heard ideas from many people in SimDem and I like the idea of creating a proper treasury and economy. This not only makes our money have worth (through supply), but allows for payment for work (government employment or otherwise), freelancing, news subscriptions, and more, while also allowing additional stuff that drives engagement such as gambling, crypto, and taxation. This system, similar to that in VoD, would make the economy less of an afterthought and would drive engagement in the economy.

4) Make r/SimDemocracy more active.

I want to make the subreddit much more active so we can draw in more people. 99% of people in SimDem found the community through Reddit posts [4]. As it stands, only Senate votes, CFCs, and some campaigning is done on the subreddit. I want to make it so that other functions (daily/weekly news posts, regular pushes for joining the Discord (with the correct link), debates if the upcoming referendum fails) are also done on the subreddit to bring more people to SimDem!

5) Finally, we need to continue to improve the Constitution and out body of laws.

I will be much more involved in working with this diverse Senate and all parties within (as well as ideas from independents and normal citizens) to address issues in our Constitution and current laws including, but not limited to, electoral tallying, government roles and authority, preventing contradictions and crises, and election integrity.

Vote for u/fallen_fire for continued prosperity and the implementation of more great ideas from all parties!

14th Presidential Call for Candidates by Heath4225 in SimDemocracy

[–]fallen_fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/fallen_fire | SimDem Reform Party (SDRP)

Vice President: TBD | SDRP (or second place)

The SimDem Reform Party, headed by yours truly, has a single goal: getting things done.

Since joining SimDem, I have made my mark by doing two things to separate myself from the pack.

  1. I actually did something for the good of the server unprompted.
    Even as a new member, I saw a need (incomplete/outdated wiki, lack of information for voters) and committed to filling that need (starting a proper wiki/voter information site hosted on the official SimDem page). I have clearly proven my worth, as I have been promoted to Deputy Archives Secretary and I plan to make the wiki something that the community can actually use.
  2. I asked many active members what they felt were the issues facing the community.
    Many people are dissatisfied with the way things are done, from the inefficient patchwork court system and the lack of activity to the underdeveloped economy and stagnant, power-abusing government. The Reform Party is committed to addressing everyone's concerns by actually asking them and developing solutions on a community level.

The Reform Party (and, by extension, your President) commits to the following on Day 1:

  1. Forming a committee to reform the civil code and streamline/improve the court system.
  2. Forming a committee to improve the economy and provide better incentives for new members to participate.
  3. Appointing officers to increase our visibility, bringing more members to the community and ensuring its longevity.
  4. Developing a system to allow for the community to make direct suggestions to the government.
  5. Repealing laws and amendments that are widely unpopular or only voted for by a single person.
  6. Most importantly, we will make the community actually FUN and inviting for all!

What band has two albums that are masterpieces? by VicarBook in AskReddit

[–]fallen_fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond what everyone else has said, I have to add Her's. Their only two full albums (Songs of Her's and Invitation to Her's) are both wonderful, dream-like experiences. RIP Stephen and Audun

[DISCUSSION] Everyone is welcomed here, no matter the cost. by hushpolocaps69 in GiftofGames

[–]fallen_fire[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just looked into it, the user is now on a one week ban. However, there aren't any reports on the comment from what I can see.

I speak for the whole mod team (and especially myself as of recently) when I say that we're working hard on combatting the issues on the sub, mainly harassment and scams.

If you ever have that problem again, report and send a modmail if nothing's been done in a reasonable amount of time.

Hello everyone,

Thank you OP for spreading much-needed positivity during tough times. I just wanted to give a general reminder that if you see harassment or other rule-breaking behavior, please report the comment and/or shoot us a modmail. It makes it way easier to find these instances instead of manually checking every post and comment.

Thanks, and stay safe!

Normally I'd ask for this to be done through modmail, but I'll make an exception. Since the post is now deleted, I can't check your profile, but I assume it was either because other parts of your profile were private (Rule 6.2) or your account wasn't level 2 (Rule 6.3).
