TheRandomMelon, sometimes referred to by his real name Michael Webb, is the current Director of Finance and former First Gentleman. He is also the former and first Chief of the Chiefdom of Osolia. He also runs the Osolia Historical Society, which maintains this wiki, and Osolia Public Radio, where he is the host of its most popular show, The DJ Hour.

Tenure as Chief (December 15, 2023 - June 16, 2024)

Webb founded the Osolian server on December 11th, 2023 as a successor to the Melonian server in response to growing concern about foreign relations and gameplay experience. He proposed twenty two measures regarding server plugins and datapacks, two measures regarding what the server will be called, one measure to choose a flag, and one measure to establish the system of government that the Osolian server would use. He ran the first election in Osolian history, winning the Chief position unopposed.

Webb opened the Osolian Minecraft server on December 21st, 2023, encouraging settlement into the region that would become Sahosam. On January 1st, he hosted a server-wide event to defeat the Ender Dragon. On January 4th, he created Osolia Public Radio. On February 13th, he established the office of the First Lady, which received approval from the Osolian Assembly.

On May 12th, 2024, Webb established a partnership with Asteria, where the Osolian Minecraft server would be upgraded with better hardware and no cost, in exchange for the Asteria Discord server being advertised in the Osolia Discord server. He also oversaw the creation of my.osolia, announcing its beta test on May 29th.

Tenure as Acting Speaker (June 27 - June 28, 2024)

On June 27, 2024, it was announced that Speaker of the Assembly tz_scion would be temporarily unavailable to serve as Speaker due to a sudden short-term health complication. To allow the Assembly to continue its duties during this time, Scion decided to appoint Webb as his Acting Speaker for what would become a one-day term.

During this short time, Webb made an impact on the Speakership with his finishing and passage of the Post Office Act, which established the Osolian Post Office, an agency designed to facilitate package deliveries throughout the Chiefdom of Osolia.

During the 24-hour voting period for the Post Office Act, Webb set a precedent for future Speakers. Director of Infrastructure CalvinX noticed a few glaring flaws with the original version of the Act that was being voted on during that period, such as no restriction on a Postmaster who is removed by the Assembly being almost immediately reinstated and a lack of package privacy protections. Webb responded by amending the bill to prevent removed Postmasters from taking back the title until the next Assembly term and by requiring that Post Office staff keep the contents and details of packages it handles secure and private.

The precedent was set when Webb, with guidance from Speaker Scion and a few others, decided to cancel the current vote on the Act and begin a new vote with the amended legislation, as there was no precedent previously for changing bills mid-vote. This is generally considered as a positive precedent that prevents bill writers from changing the contents of a bill mid-vote and potentially adding unfavorable clauses to a bill.
