I was placed into a province that as near as I can tell has a population of 3, after participating in my first national election we were allowed to claim a seat in the provincial government which i proudly did, and almost immediately I was placed into a position of leadership as Premier, I know nothing of what I am supposed to do in this position, I read the provincial constitution and still don't really understand. This makes me believe my fellow provincial citizens think of the position as a joke as I was told I am overthinking things.
Okay, I've read the threads on the Vuode forum, and there seems to have been something of an miscommunication.
Your provincial co-citizens, V and Eðo, were encouraging you to take on leadership, but what it looked like is that you were worried about getting it wrong somehow. They were trying to reassure you that provincial politics are very low stakes in Talossa, so it didn't really matter what you did. But you took the opposite way, it seems - if it doesn't matter what you do, why should you do anything?
I think what V and Eðo were trying to encourage you to do is to
use your initiative, to do exactly whatever you felt like doing as Premier of Vuode. The idea is that any activity - especially from newcomers - is good and to be applauded. But I see how the reassurance that "it doesn't matter what you do" could, conversely, discourage you from doing anything.
The one thing you actually did - proposing a Provincial Bird - was precisely the kind of thing that we encourage people to do. I think perhaps the message should be broadcast to newcomers:
any activity is better than none. However, it's worth all of us considering that perhaps Talossa's "open world" feature doesn't provide "quests" for people who immigrate without a strong agenda of what they wanted to do. In the past, people have suggested a set "course of activities" for new citizens which would earn them some kind of decoration or junior knighthood at the end. Would that have been preferable?
Can I turn the question around, though? What did you expect from Talossa when you applied to be a citizen?
