[22:09] <@Escade> Venico, how is the lovely region of Osiris doing? Â And pretend you are telling someone who knows little about anything but somehow was elected to be delegate of the south pacific based on my pretty hair alone
[22:09] <@Venico> Lol
[22:10] <@Venico> Well Osiris has been abused by a group recently, a group that has a chronic issue of abusing GCRs to meet their own needs. Every Pharaoh has had issues with them and has been threatened by them.
[22:11] <@Venico> All of them have tried diplomatic means in order to pacify them but that only leaves them with the same power as before
[22:11] <@Escade> Ok
[22:12] <@Venico> So, being tired of watching my region being in this stupid stranglehold they had it under, with high influence nations
[22:12] <@Venico> administrators on the forums
[22:12] <@Venico> and in high government positions in every regime
[22:12] <@Venico> I decided to do what they have threatened me with too many times
[22:12] <@Venico> Go to war with them
[22:14] <@Hileville> As a note I have wittnessed this threat of war with just about every Delegate since Earth.
[22:15] <@Escade> What does go to war mean exactly?Â
[22:15] <@Venico> Ban their nations, switch forums, deal with their resitance
[22:16] <@Venico> also establish a government structure that they aren't involved in
[22:16] <@Escade> Ok, what's the next step in this situation?
[22:16] <@Venico> Cormac has been working on a constitution for awhile and I want him to present it soon for people to critique
[22:16] <@Venico> My next step is dealing with diplomacy and dealing with resistance
[22:17] <@Venico> It seems that Mahaj and Diamete have joined the Empire in this
[22:17] <@Venico> So it's a waiting game for influence
[22:17] <@Escade> Mahaj is leader of the UDL and Diamete is?
[22:18] <@Hileville> a long time Osi member
[22:18] <@Venico> Diamete was on my Security Council
[22:18] <@Escade> Oh, okay. Â
[22:18] <@Venico> As was the Empire and Lord Raven Claw
[22:19] <@Venico> Diamete and Raven have been seen as the two neutrals of Osiris for awhile
[22:19] <@Venico> yet they split on this :/
<div>[22:19] <@Escade> Raven is supporting you, though.Â
[22:20] <@Escade> I like Raven, he's nice
[22:20] <@Kringalia> Intimidating, but nice
[22:20] <@Escade> ^
[22:21] <@Venico> he is nice and he's only intimidating in Foreign Affairs =P
[22:21] <@Kringalia> True
[22:21] <@Venico> And yes he is Escade what I meant was
[22:22] <@Venico> Diamete has gone one way and Raven has gone another
[22:22] <@Venico> 1-1 is a split =P
[22:24] <@Escade> Right, but I've never met Diamete whereas Raven is a good guy. So I'm happy that he trusts in you.Â
[22:25] * @Venico nods
[22:25] <@Venico> I've kept him as my Foreign Affairs guy
[22:25] <@Venico> He's quite good and I trust his opinion
[22:29] <@Kringalia> One thing I'm curious about Venico, is what's the place of the BoM in all of this. Initially Osiris' WFE mentioned them controlling the region (not anymore though), so I'd like to hear what's their status now
[22:30] <@Venico> I said Managing because that was the best word at the time, I look back now and realize that was a poor choice
[22:30] <@Venico> It is leading the charge against the poison that is the Empire
[22:31] <@Venico> It has been the one working behind the scenes planning this, it has been the one working to pull on its connections to get foreign support
[22:32] <@Venico> BoM has no wish to stay in Osiris once this is over with
[22:32] <@Venico> We're just the warfare guys =P
[22:33] <@Hileville> So Kringle brought up one of the points the Cabinet was concerned about which leads into another one.
[22:33] <@Hileville> How long do you see the need for outside support?
[22:33] * @Venico rubs his stubble
[22:34] <@Venico> I was expecting Diamete to stay neutral, however his now supporting the opposite side is not too big except for influence cost
[22:34] <@Venico> It will take me ~16 more updates before I have enough to handle him and Mahaj
[22:35] <@Venico> After that, we'll see if there are any high influence nations that start throwing their lot in with Empire
[22:35] <@Venico> So at the minimum and best situation I see 8-10 days
[22:36] * @Hileville nods
[22:36] <@Venico> Although the nation Hajima has ~70 SPDR and is a bit worrying as they endoed NK pretty quickly :/
[22:36] <@Venico> but we'll deal with that situation if that arises
[22:38] <@Hileville> What makes this change in power different from the last ones?
[22:40] <@Venico> The power particularly isn't changing much to be honest, we're in the same boat that we were in after Asta dissolved the Book of the DeadÂ
[22:40] <@Venico> But we plan on moving forward, ending this war and going back to peace
[22:40] <@Venico> We plan on setting up a government that's communally agreed upon
[22:41] <@Venico> And honestly after this, I'm probably retiring to culture and not touching politics for awhile =P
[22:41] <@Venico> Osiris needed someone with the guts to face these guys head on, I've done my part in that regard
[22:44] <@Venico> And trust me, I wish I could do this without foreign support, but that would take months influence wise instead of us hoping to be back to the norm by Christmas
[22:45] <@Kringalia> Say you get to fully stabilise Osiris and that new constitution is approved. What kind of changes in terms of government structure should we expect, and how stable should we expect Osiris to be from now on?
[22:46] * @Venico chuckles
[22:46] <@Venico> Hopefully we wouldn't be the Coup Friendly GCR from now on =P
[22:47] <@Venico> But it would be very similar to the government structure Asta had already set up because don't forget that this constitution was made to fit her government
<div>[22:47] <@Escade> For someone who doesn't know the history of Osiris, what are you goals for the region moving forward?
[22:47] <@Venico> A community
[22:47] <@Venico> It's really that simple
[22:48] <@Venico> A community who doesn't get threatened, a community that doesn't get attacked, just a community that functions
[22:49] <@Escade> That seems very reasonable, I wouldn't be happy feeling constantly threatened.Â
[22:53] <@Hileville> What was the reasoning of the anti-defender talk in the initial statements?
[22:55] <@Venico> Because most of the people who have been manipulating Osiris have been defenders. Now this isn't to say that defenders are bad and they will be thrown out, as we are accepting citizenship applications for them
[22:55] <@Venico> It's just the ones who have been manipulating Osiris
[22:58] <@Hileville> one more thing from me the ejections that have taken place (minus Biyah, Dali, and well Todd) was it because of their support of the Empire and co. or for other reasons?
[22:59] <@Venico> the ejections that have been occurring are new nations coming from other regions or refounds
[22:59] <@Venico> This is simply to keep the closed door policy, however if any nation TGs me their identity I will almost always let them in
[23:00] <@Hileville> Ok. Â I think I have all I need for now. Â Escade or Kringalia do you have anything else?
[23:01] <@Hileville> question wise that is
[23:01] <@Kringalia> So far I think we've got all covered
[23:01] <@Venico> The intention is to close the doors until we have everything sorted out then re open them, this is to keep out clean puppets of the Empire from coming in although lord knows they have enough in Osi with influence >.>
[23:01] <@Venico> Ok then
[23:01] <@Kringalia> Escade?
[23:02] <@Escade> Yes, I'm here.
[23:02] <@Kringalia> Any further questions you have?
[23:02] <@Escade> No, I think you guys have covered it. Â Is there anything you want to add Venico? Something we should know or would help us understand better?
[23:03] <@Venico> I don't think so, I'm just tired and wishing for this all to be over with soon xD
[23:03] <@Venico> However if you guys ever have any questions feel free to ask me
[23:03] <@Kringalia> I'll keep that in mind
[23:04] * @Venico tips hat
