• What is your opinion on the current debate between Sandaoguo and Kringle about whether a High Court justice should have a security background or not?
  
• Do you believe that there should be more requirements for legislatorship, and/or do you believe the background check should be tougher on legislators? i.e, not allowing legislatorship to anyone who has ever been a citizen in, say, Balder or the Black Hawks?
  
• What do you believe is the most necessary approach to prompt gamesiders to vote forumside? 
  
•  Do you believe that evidence should be released publicly when an individual is banned or has their legislatorship status taken away? (Excluding situations like Yuno, Solorni, or 5-million population RMB spammers)
  

Im not sure what most of these questions have to do with a Delegate election, but Ill answer anyway...
1. Im kinda on the fence with this. The Court Justices should be people that are VERY trusted within our region, since the very nature of their job could involve seeing classified information, and we shouldn't fear that they will release it without the consent of the CRS. With that said, Im not 100 percent sold that the court needs to specifically have security clearance. As I said, that should come with the job.
2. I think our legislator applications are just find. We pride ourselves in being an open region, and, for the most part, allowing second (and sometimes 3rd & 4th) chances. Requirement-wise, I think we're right where we should be. The background checks that the CRS/LegComm does is very critical when a region is as open as we are.
My feelings are that if the region or person isn't barred from being here - through any admin ban or legal ban/proscription - I'm perfectly fine with the CRS/LegComm making that decision. After all, that's their job!
3. Constant contact by our government. In my opinion, this is the best way to bring people from gameside to the forums. If we can show them whats going on forumside, not just tell them, it may pique their interest enough to come take a look for themselves. And once their foot is in the door, thats when we should pounce and invite them to join a ministry or the RP, or even the spam games.
4. Define "publicly". To TSPers? Absolutely. To our allies? Maybe. To general GP, absolutely not. We don't owe anyone outside TSP an explanation for anything we do - especially when they'll just twist what we say to form fit their own agenda. Its a loose-loose battle, so we might as well hold our cards.

As a whole, this is probably the best I've seen TSP in my time here. Other than one recent - albeit huge - issue, we're getting on well. We're debating and passing laws without fear of being called names and being bullied.
Gameside, the last year has seen the most RMB activity in its history. TSP as a whole is doing well.

Thank you, Roavin. Your endorsement means the world!
