Howdy folks, it’s that time again and guess who’s back? Yep that’s right, RON is here to run for MoMA once again! This is my fourth consecutive MoMA run and this time I’m really feeling it. Improvements from last time? 1: I have a Campaign. I hear that’s great for the whole ‘running for office’ thing. 2: I’ve actually updated within the last two months! I know right? Such a dependable boi.

Okay, jokes aside, here we are again. I’m before you folks of the assembly with a brand new campaign to blow your socks off. Well it isn’t really ‘new’ per-say, just redefined. You see these last few terms I’ve been busy juggling with ideas and freeing up my rl schedule so I can really try and be the MOMA TSP (and the SPSF) deserves.

As you might already know my whole mantra is ‘A better GP for R/D’. Now what does that mean exactly? I’ve been juggling that question in my brain for quite a while now. Honestly the answer is complicated and a lot of it is honestly above the ability of a single org or region. However, that doesn’t mean it’s beyond us to better ourselves. So I’m switching up my classic mantra with a new one. We ready? No? Well crap I came all this way and now I’m just..

“A Better TSP for R/D”

So this might seem even more convoluted than my original mantra. So let me explain. By no means do I think TSP and by extension the SPSF is a toxic place for Raiders or Defenders. In fact as far as D. Leaning/Unaligned orgs go, we are the best. That is my honest opinion. SPSF is the best Military Organisation on Nation States. I’m here for a reason folks. Furthermore this mantra does not mean I intend to implement radical (or any for that matter) alignment change in SPSF. No all this means is that I wish to protect the freedom of choice our soldiers currently have the luxury of enjoying. The more freedom our soldiers have the more people from all walks of alignment will join us, and the more friends we have the more ops we have access to participating in.

This idea of maintaining and protecting the individual soldier’s freedoms in order to open the doors to new allies and new recruits transitions well into my first main goal as a MoMA. That is the strengthening of MoFA and SPSF cooperation and collaboration. I want to see the Ministry of Foreign Affairs work in tandem with the South Pacific Special Forces to scout new allies (especially when it comes to military alliances) and implement more programs and policy. In pursuit of this I really want to push for SPSF to increase its presence on GP with regular GP Embassy updates. I’ll probably have to handle the bulk of these updates and am willing to do so until I can get a reliable officer in place to handle it. In order to further establish this goal and to help with hosting more SPSF based ops, I will be appointing Somyrion as a cabinet advisor. He did excellent work last term and I want to see him continue to help mold SPSF into a real leader in the GP Sphere.

Now, in regards to Officers in the SPSF (and the currently unused Commander rank >.>) I want to redefine the roles of each Officer within the military. Most of the SPSF’s Officers have held that position for ages and the two we currently have have established themselves as unique leaders across TSP in a multitude of different ways. I want our Officer ranks to exemplify this even further by creating sub ranks that can be applied to officers to help them decide what aspect of SPSF they want to be mostly involved in. As well as repurposing the unused Commander rank to establish a position responsible for managing the Officers and organizing them further. The specifics of the exact set up of both of these is still in workshop for me but I’m excited to make it one of my first re organization projects in my term should I be elected.

I regards to reorganization, I want to revamp the SPSF forum side thread into a more active and accessible environment. Primarily I plan to do this by working with the admin team to reorganize and archive some of the old threads and once the ball gets rolling I’ll be posting updates on SPSF activity there as well. Finally a big plan and one I took inspiration from Escade during her term as MoMA, I want to see the SPSF get some established roleplaying going. I plan to work with MoRA with this one and already have a bunch of ideas for possible rp’s. Seeing more casual activity on the SPSF side of the forum is a big goal for me.

Finally my biggest campaign goal is the establishment of a new branch of the SPSF. The branch organization’s primary goal will be the education and assistance of small ucr’s unfamiliar with the mechanics of GP. Firstly, I want introduce UCR’s to GP in an unbiased way that lets them decide for themselves whether to join R or D or to just opt out entirely. I want smaller UCR’s to have some defenses against orgs that would take advantage of their lack of training and understanding. While the mechanics of the program are still being fleshed out. I want to try and include the entire GP community in its creation. This is why I would like to, with help from our MoFA, locate advisors from some of the orgs across the R/D spectrum to help with writing up a code of conduct for the program and its members. One that will ensure both Raiders and Defenders are fairly and equally represented by the program. While I understand the hurdles that comes with this type of project as I have spoken to several senior members of our region about it, I believe that if we approach it correctly and intelligently we can see success in the venture.

Well, I guess I’ll open up the floor to question, and before you ask:

“What do you plan to do should you not be elected?”

“I’ll just keep doing what I have been. Training folks when I can, updating from time to time and working on this potential joint outreach program with whoever does get elected. Implementing any administrative change will be impossible tho so I’ll just bug the MoMa as I do now ;p.”

Now, behave yourselves down there in my campaign thread you rascals!

And don't forget!
