On Convening a Legislature and Additions to the Government

An Address from the Pharaoh of the Osiris Fraternal Order
On Convening a Legislature and Additions to the Government

Fellow residents of Osiris, citizens of the Osiris Fraternal Order, and our friends and allies abroad:

I am happy to report that the week long conflict in Osiris has effectively come to an end. We continue to hope for the return of those who became frustrated by the recent conflict and have departed our community, and we are ready to welcome them back at any time. With the end of the recent conflict comes renewed opportunities to focus on fostering a stable, active, and fun Osiran community, and we intend to seize upon those opportunities by expanding the government in the interim, even as we prepare to discuss development of a new constitution.

Our primary focus will be on developing a new constitution that promotes greater stability and positive activity, a constitution that is structured to last. In pursuit of this goal, this government has convened a new all-citizen legislature, the Council of Scribes, and it is open for citizen participation right now. If you're a citizen, you're already enrolled and able to participate. If you're not yet a citizen, now is the time to apply and get involved with the next big Osiran project of establishing a stronger foundation for our community.

While we will be focused on constitutional efforts, it's equally important to focus on strengthening community bonds in the meantime. It's my pleasure to announce that the following Osirans are joining the government's efforts to revitalize and strengthen the Osiran community:

Chief Guardian: Tim Stark (Osiran Nation: Tim Stark)

Our immediately former Pharaoh, Tim, has been serving as Vizier, our former title for Vice Delegate, and this is basically just a change in title for him. As Chief Guardian, he will continue to serve as Vice Delegate for the immediate future, and will continue to protect the regional World Assembly Delegacy until such a time as my own endorsement count and influence level permit a secure transition of the Delegacy to the Pharaoh.

Guardian: Joshua Bluteisen (Osiran Nation: Ikand)

Josh has been contributing to Osiris since 2013, has served as a legislator, a minister, as Pharaoh, and has served as Vice Delegate for three former Pharaohs, most recently the past two. He has earned the trust of Osiris with his dedication to doing what is right for the regional community, and there's no doubt that he should continue in his role as a Guardian, helping to ensure our in-game security.

Guardian: Zaolat (Osiran Nation: Zaolat)

The first elected, pre-constitutional Pharaoh of Osiris, Zaolat has been committed to the region ever since, and there is no one we can trust more with regional security. Zaolat was and remains neutral in the recent internal conflict, but he is still committed to protecting Osiris against threats from outsiders, and this government has full confidence in him. With the internal conflict at an end, it only makes sense to retain such a dedicated Osiran to help safeguard in-game security.

Vizier of Regional Affairs: Ridersyl (Osiran Nation: Yokiria)

Syl had some great ideas for integration in his recent campaign for office under our former governmental system, and it will benefit all of us to see some of those ideas implemented now. As Vizier of Regional Affairs, Syl will be spearheading our integration efforts to reach out to the game-side community and get more residents involved in our forum community, as well as helping to bring more activity to the game-side community.

Vizier of Community Affairs: Xoriet (Osiran Nation: Rasanna)

A former Feeder Delegate, an avid roleplayer, and an all around nice and likeable person, Xoriet is the perfect person to serve as Vizier of Community Affairs right now and she has some great ideas for new, fun activities that we'll all be hearing about soon. It's important to have fun activities we can all enjoy to cleanse our palettes of the bad taste left behind by recent events, and that is what Community Affairs will aim to provide.

Vizier of Foreign Affairs: Severisen (Osiran Nation: Detective figs)

A former Pharaoh with loads of diplomatic experience and connections with many of the regions we call friends and allies, Severisen is one of the most respected people in gameplay and is the right person to take on oversight of our foreign affairs right now. He will be working to strengthen existing relationships, repair damaged bonds, and seek new partnerships. As a member of forum administration, he will also continue to assist with security and citizenship, and thus the position of Vizier of Security Affairs, which he has long held, will be vacant for now.

Vizier of Military Affairs: Koth (Osiran Nation: Saq)

A co-founder of the Osiris Fraternal Order and a former Pharaoh, Koth is also an accomplished military gameplayer and has served in leadership of the Sekhmet Legion in the past. As Vizier of Military Affairs, Koth will be managing the continued operation of the Legion, as well as overseeing in-game security efforts to cut off the possibility of isolated, minimal threats that may still arise as a result of the recent conflict.

Vizier of Media Affairs: Neo Kervoskia (Osiran Nation: Neo Kervoskia)

Neo Kervoskia has an esteemed background in media, going back more than a decade, from his time in the New Pacific Order, his independent management of the Trans-Pacific Times, and his participation in Osiran media from 2011-2013. Having recently returned to Osiris, he's the right person to give The Osiris Oracle a reboot, to deliver accurate information from Osiris to the broader world, and to inspire Osirans to get involved with writing for the Oracle.

Chief Scribe: Dalimbar (Osiran Nation: Dalimbar)

Dalimbar, the first Pharaoh elected by the Kemetic Republic of Osiris in 2011, has recently returned to Osiris and will be serving as Chief Scribe. The first task of the Council of Scribes, as I've noted, will be to draft, discuss, and finally ratify a new constitution for the Osiris Fraternal Order, and during this interim period Dalimbar will be guiding the new legislature through this process with more than a decade of experience in regional government.

I hope all of you will join me in welcoming these dedicated Osirans to our government, and that each of you will share in my excitement as we take hold of the opportunities that await us. It has always been my firm conviction that the community of Osiris can do anything it sets its mind to doing, and with a united effort to strengthen our community and its constitutional foundation, there is no question in my mind that we will accomplish all these goals and more.
