My open letter in the Clan forum

As I didn't get any replies there yet, I came wandering in here - like I said, there is such an abundance of information I haven't had the time to read all and everything. Now it seems I jumped the gun a bit? As I read a few posts down, it seems that Clan MacTavish isn't politically inclined, or do I interpret that incorrect? Is the fact that I'm coming up in a list for the coming County Elections against the Clan rules? I only have the interests of the common man at heart, so please can anyone advise me? I'll just post my letter here too, if anyone hasn't seen it yet... Oh yes, the funds are all collected now, so U2 is a running list now.

Greetings all Clan Members,

First and foremost, apologies for not coming in sooner and introducing myself to you all. Largs is a very bustling community and with my job as a Bartender in the Rose Wood Café there, my designer house, herb garden and all that, I sometimes don't know where I'm heading :D

So, my name is Reinaert, and originally I came from Birmingham, but Telets has brought me to the attention of Dracmuller, who kindly took me in. I'm sorry to say I haven't seen much of Telets, so I'm not really up to speed yet with the clan adventures, but I will try my best to repair that omission. By the way, feel free to look through the RP threads of Largs, I try to make a regular appearance there and I'm very busy in the Rose, so people start to know me in Largs.

Due to all this, I've also been invited to come up on an election List, "U2", consisting of mostly lvl1 and lvl2s. We would like to bring Scotland to a new height, bringing together old and new Scots, new and experienced players alike.

And here I come to you all, asking for your ear and your heart - and your vote :D! We are still trying to get the funds together, but would like to be able to prove to Scotland that we can bring people together and bring joy to everyone.

Feel free to post here with suggestions or questions - or ideas to get those needed funds :D.

I know I pledged to our Clan Chief to question Anto and come up with some answers, but that man is as slippery as an eel in a bucket of snot - and never awake when I am, it seems :D I haven't given up though, but it probably will take a lot longer than I expected :?

So, do you want a MacTavish in the Council? Do you want to lead the two counties of Scotland to a united Scotland? Then rally behind me and vote U2!

Thank you :)


Reinaert MacTavish, Largs, Ayrshire, Scotland

My feeling is this: As long as you aren't doing anything illegal (NNGO) or immoral, you won't reflect badly on the clan. Even though I'm avowed to be apolitical, that won't stop me from posting my opinions or even someday running for mayor. While I haven't aligned with any party, I have no problem with clan members that do hold strong enough beliefs to do so.

That's what I believe "not political" to mean in this case.

Whew thanks - I was already fearing I trespassed a fine line I hadn't noticed - thanks again :D

Sorry my comment is late coming but I had two papers to type and my computer has started hating our hearth. I am not against anyone in our clan being part of the government or being political, but I feel that if you to speak for our whole clan, unless we have given you permission to, (i.e. Drac) you have crossed a line in my mind. I am for people running for government as long as they run as themselves not as the MacTavish candidate. I will support you in your endeavors, since you are kin, but I feel no person has the right to speak for all MacTavishes.
