Two questions (that I’m asking everyone so yay):

What makes TSP unique?

What will you do if you are not elected Delegate?

Thanks for the questions.

So, about being unique ... TSP has always been unique in being the party region — a place a bit more laid back than the rest of NS. But, the other unique factor is the TSP's enduring community. The fact that people like Fudgie and SB are still around and people like LR and Geo check in from time to time shows enduring connection formed through the region.

If I'm not elected delegate, I plan to coup to be delegate again. So really, it's six of one, half dozen of the other at this point ...

But, seriously, I'll just keep on keeping on. Keep up with the CRS. Probably run a few more elections. Hold the forum and Discord channels down, ya know.

So -- as I've said several times, I was on vacation -- but now that I'm back I thought it might be useful to answer the questions from the debate. (Thanks to @Escade for typing these out in her thread ... where I shamelessly jacked the questions.)

1. How do you propose we get more WA involvement?

I think we've been enormous gains in the amount of endorsements within the WA. One of the things we need to keep doing is raising the endorsement cap when able and I think that holds promise to create a fun competition and opportunity to build our numbers. 

Unlike some of the other candidates, I'd be more likely to lead the WA proposal from behind (except the Security Council decisions), but would be in favor of setting up some of the WA development ideas others have proposed.

2. From your campaign, what is the most important project you want to work on?

The connection between the offsite on the RMB region. I know we've already divvied up the Cabinet from the LC, but I think we still need to keep the communication open between them so we all feel like this is the same region. This has long been my soap box and will continue to be something I'd see as important. And, as proof that I live what I preach, my campaign has been promoted as a Dispatch and I've been having convos on the RMB about where we should be going as a region.

3. What do you think the role of the delegate is in cooperation with gameside and forumside and particularly the cabinet? What would you be doing for example?

I think the delegate's view is to be supportive when asked, but to ultimately get out of the way. We have an experienced Cabinet and and will have an experienced LC, so while the delegate should help whenever they are invited and needed, I see the delegate as much more of a support role.

4. What role should the delegate take in regards to working with the LC?

The LC has been managing every well on their own, to be perfectly honest. Between news dispatches and policing the message board, I think it would be an error to say the delegate needs to work with the LC. Again, there are ways and places to help the LC, but I think letting the LC take charge of that in important. That said, the delegate should be something of a fourth LC member, participating on the RMB and stand ready with the banject button for the undesirables. 

5. Do you feel your activity has been sufficient over the past few months prior to the delegate campaign?

Absolutely. I try to keep a low profile because of RL things, but I check into NS — the region, the forums and Discord — every morning and usually every evening. I think it's a 

6. How do the candidates feel about the Biscuit Republic of Warzone Australia?

Biscuits should only be buttery.

7. What sort of RMB activity do you deem sufficient?

We have *hundreds* of posts on the RMB. But, the key is to facilitate discussions and (as such) relationships between the nations. We don't want spam for the sake of having posts, but actual discussions, jokes, etc. are all important.

8. What would you say are your three biggest weaknesses?

1. I'm a consensus builder, even when I don't need to be. I don't want people to be excluded or left out.
2. I'm a people pleasure, so I hate to take actions that upset people.
3. I tend to over analyze things and attempt to make arguments for the most generous interpretations, even if that's not the case.

9. What is one thing you have admired about the other candidates?

I don't want to single out people, so I'd sooner paint with a bit of broad brush here. We have amazing candidates running this term. People like Escade, RT and Tim have done a lot for the region and have been involved a long time. I find that admirable — especially in the case of Escade and RT would have had higher positions (delegate, vice delegate) and stayed/come back to take on other roles rather than rest on their laurels. That's admirable.

The rest of the field — Beepee, Amerion, IoU and Ben — are all relatively new, but taking the initiative to get involved and run for delegate. As we all know, it took be nearly a decade to approach the position of delegate, so the ability of newer nations jumping in and going for it I find really admirable, as well.

10. What is one thing you’ll do different then previous delegates?

This question is hard for me to answer since I'd likely do things as I have in the past. Maybe I'd run a better campaign against Seraph? 

11. What is your favorite aspect of TSP?

I've said this elsewhere, but the deep and long lasting connection we have to each other. I love that people still stop in and visit (in the case of Fudge and LR) years after they first got involved.

12. What do you feel is the biggest issue in TSP?

I mentioned this to SB above, but I'm always interested in getting new people involved. We die unless we find new blood with new initiatives and new ideas.

Final Statement:

I know I'm old and I know that works against me. We all know what another turn at delegate will look like from me, but, is that so bad?

I've helped kept the lights on 15 years now and happy to do it some more. Together, we have keep the game fun and friendly, as it should be.

What have you done in TSP during the six months you were here?

(I was on hiatus for at least 6 months, so i missed out on it

You don't need to list everything, just some bullet points about your history here, tasks you worked hard on and which parts, who you worked with/hired, etc
Helps for players who don't want to hunt down everything from past old threads.)

I really like that your campaigns are filled with GIFS. Made me smile (which I can' say for some platforms).
