what is going on with events? this is

[cleopatraxigalia]

ill tell you why nothing is going on rose:

i have to get this out in the open regardign chancellor......my best friend bells............a newbie to CDS and very well respected SL citizen .. blogger, business owner SL Mentor.. on and on .................was appointed Events Chair... subsequently she asked Arria what to do. Arria told her dont do anything until we meet..............a month later Bells asked ARria when can we meet.............Arria said i dont know.......weeks later Arria lies to alexicon and said bells cannot do the events job cos she said she has personal issues............well........Bells had told Arria actually that she had a funeral to go on and could not make ONE meeting .. NOT that she cannot be events.. half way through the term.. .it is obvious that Arria has either no communicatoin skills ( an asset that the PIO needs i think) or is intentionally thwarting the chancellors appointment. Bells is a person due great respect in SL and is of the highest SL reputation and visibilty in many arenas..........we should be honered to have her as a citizen and willing to take on the task of events.............so thank you chancellor and company for making sure nothing happened ...................i hate to make this public but the people need to knwo what is really going on behind the scenes.

Bells tried......was told not to do anything.. she was lied about to alexicon............poor cds we have really missed out on some great things.

[Arria Perreault]

When we do a mistake, we can only apologize. It was not a lie, but a misunterstanding. After the discussion I had with Bells, I had the feeling that not only the meeting of this day was in question. I probably did not understand well what she explaned to me. I am sorry for that and I apologize.
But the worst is probably to bring this problem in the forums, instead to discuss it in-world. The problem would have been solved in two minutes. I personnaly find this way totally unfair.
Last remark: the quality of the concerned person and the way she can manage events in CDS was never in question. I totally trust Bells for that job of event manager.

[cleopatraxigalia]

thank you for setting the record straight arria.. you own a woman mourning a HUGE apology.
you have single handedly damaged her reputation.. how dare you

the incompetence lies on YOUR shoulders.. NOT bells and not Cindy....

YOU mess with MY Bellsy.......well............................

thats a whole nother story maaam

[cleopatraxigalia]

cos you told her that she was to do nothing....................until that happened....she asked you many times for meetings.....

a term is six months..... three into it you just NOW .... are getting arround to this meeting iwth events manager
...

idk but where i come from you would have been fired a while back sweetie

This is bad, really bad. I don't mean the Arria-Bells issue, whatever that was, but the nasty personal attack mounted on one public official (Arria, our PIO) by another (ThePrincess, a member of the RA). This is completely unnecessary and I can't help but feel it's politically-motivated - the first NuCARE shot in the by-election campaign perhaps?

ThePrincess -

If you carry on like this there'll be no one left in the CDS. You've already alienated a number of people who have contributed heavily to the CDS over a number of years. At this rate there'll be no one left but you and your friends. Oh, I get it! That's the point, isn't it?

[Sudane Erato]

Do the other citizen members of NuCARE really support this kind of ranting, insulting, childish behavior? I rather doubt it, and I'd be very interested in hearing from them. This is, after all, one of their representatives to the community's decision-making body, and I cannot believe that mature adults could feel represented by these kind of statements.

ThePrincess, with all due respect to you in general, I feel that your comments here to our Arria our PIO are extremely inappropriate.

In addition to what others have said in response, I would also like to point out that our government is an all-volunteer organisation. This means that everyone's participation in it is based on what they want to do and what is fun for them. Not one time have I seen Arria's performance of her PIO duties come under discussion in the Representative Assembly. Even if they were to, however, an appropriate response from a RA member wanting more to be accomplished by the PIO would be to ask the PIO herself (or possibly also the Chancellor), if there were any way the RA could be helpful.

I do not see your posts here as helpful to anyone - not even to those whom you say you are wanting to defend.

[cleopatraxigalia]

i just understand i deal with things differently and not in my own best interest i guess but to answer you all:

1. ARRIA..........please explain to our kind citizens why when Alexicon appointed an events manager, you told her not to do anything til we met and then would not meet with her for three months and when i told Alexicon DO SOMETHING NOW ... then he gave you a week to get the PIO stuff together and re: Bells you mistakenly told Alexicon that she had quit. Which she hadn't. Please explain all of this.

2.PAT...........NuCARE is strategically and to make a point NOT running any candidates so your ongoing claim of our or my "political behavior" is false.........this was not apersonal attack on Arria...........I think the people who voted CDSF and NuCARE are entitled to knwo what is going on in that office. I am as embarrased by my party's chancellor as by your party's PIO quite frankly. So posting this did not in anyway benefit my party. But hopefully the community wil live in truth ...that is my hope.

3. SUDANE...........at least one NuCARE citizen asked me to remove the post and I refused. NuCARE has term limits of two terms for RA members. I am not even eligible to run next term. If the faction deems replacing me now is in order I am sure they will do that.

4. SONJA..............i wish i was as tactful as you .. i am not.........................and i disagree that pretendign things are one way to "keep peach" when they are another is not good for anyone. If you have a suggestion as to how i can better deal with the PIO let me know i am happy to listen to your wisdom taht no doubt surpasses mine.

The only thing I try to do is a planification of events. I try to get ways to be informed about events and to inform people about the events that are held in CDS, official events as well as private initiatives. CDS itself organizes only some official events: a ball at the beginning of each term, melting parties, Oktoberfest and some others. Metanomics also is managed by an appointed person of the CDS. All other events are organized by citizen, groups or NGO. The PIO offers her/his services to all these people who make our sims living, by sending notices, by installing signs on the public places. As citizen, I don't expect that CDS organize animations every week. This kind of activities belongs to private initiative and as PIO, I am ready to help for communication. The CDS has even a budget to encourage people to organize events.

[AlexiconKurka]

The exec body is spending a lot of time to keep events going on CDS and improve some of the fundaments of CDS communication. We are volunteers with many interest and a busy RL. Let's put some nuances, critics must always be possible without promoting 'intellectual mud wrestling' into a regular CDS event.

Tactful, mmm I think there is more than tact involved in dealing with each other in a civilized environment, kindness might be a better consept.

I have made my opinion on this clear to Prin in private. That is where discussion of this kind of thing belongs, not out in the middle of a public forum.
