~The Nawab's Vision~
Becoming Nawab was quite the unexpected movement on my part. After taking holiday for more than a year, I returned to a fully functioning Klatch post-revolutionary movement. However, at the time of my reappearance I was quickly notified that the Klatchian Co-op Committee (KCC) was in need of both a President and a Nawab. Quick to regain activity in Klatch, I was nominated for Presidency but hesited at Nawabcy. The previous Nawab Keb was stepping down and few other candidates had expressed interest. My mind was quickly changed, I wrote out my proposal, my Nawab "rival" Leyan stepped down, and here we are.
As Nawab, my main objective is the Grant System. It's an easy to use system that remains as active or as inactive as Djelian citizens want it to. Ultimately, I don't want to tell my fellow citizens what they do or what they don't want by what I choose to sponsor and pursue. The Grant System allows citizens to receive funding to pursue and intiate the activities they want to see succeed. Likewise, if the citizens at large choose not to use the system no grand and unbulky system was put into place to fail.
My second ambition is still a largely developing idea on how to increase guild specific involvement in Djelibeybi. With most guild heads being housed in Ankh-Morpork and no easy way to direct funds specifically to guild citizens many hurdles exist in this enterprise. While some ideas have proven too cumbersome and too expensive to actually implement, I am currently working on a proposal to manipulate some of the lesser used club positions in KCC to delegate funding and address guild citizen issues.
Thirdly, I do have a few more pet and more fun ambitions set into place. One of these ideas is the Peoples Museum, which would be an off-the-MUD construction that was home to pictures of works of art of our citizens.
It's difficult to determine the success and failures of Nawabs - past, present and future - because so much depends on the demands of the citizens. Djelibeybi has an extremely active minority but the bulk of the citizenry don't always seem to share the same passion. The most I feel I can hope for as Nawab is that I've implemented systems that run simply, demand little active effort, and available when the citizens want it.
