Knowing you, you are capable of surpassing every GCR delegate except TNP's(unless tools) in endorsements. You're on the gameside daily, you update, you endorse , and you KNOW how Influence math works (important)

While I believe you're unfortunately unable to vote due to when you joined, I do really appreciate the endorsement <3

Okay, so the last six months consisted mainly of my 2nd MoFA Term and part of my 1st MoFA Term. During that time, I believe my major happenings included:

- involvement in the planning of Lazarus' liberation and subsequent peacekeeping
- working on the drafting, presenting, and passage of the NPO/TSP treaty
- working on the drafting, presenting, and passage of the TEP/TRR/TSP treaty
- close cooperation with the MoRA on multiple interregional festivals
- general activity in and awareness of Assembly happenings

I might be forgetting some stuff, but I think that's the main haul of it

You're not particularly RMB-affine by admission (which I can empathize with), but in the role of a Delegate I see somebody affine with all three circles in the big Venn Diagram of our community (RMB, Forum, Discord). You did mention that you plan to take an active role in moderating as per the rules of the LC - does that imply that you intend to frequent the RMB more often? Do you see that more as something to do on the side, or as a "labor of love" that you feel belongs to the position (like I did in my first two PM terms)? Furthermore, how do you think this will affect your chances at winning the game-side vote, should you be in the top 2 forum-side?

And then there's the hairy one, and I'm honestly surprised nobody's mentioned it yet. I guess I'll be the asshole fall guy and mention the obligatory thing: In April 2016, when you were Delegate of Osiris, your preferred successor (Cormac) lost to Almighty Jesus Whale in the Delegate election, so you couped and installed Cormac. What assurances can you give TSP that, upon becoming Delegate and then leaving again, you wouldn't coup if you didn't like the successor that was elected?

Yes, I realize there's alot of context missing.

1. Yes, I'll absolutely be more involved in the Gameside RMB community, and getting more involved with the Gameside community was one of the things I did before I even considered actually running for Delegate. I didn't think I would be making a fully informed decision unless I first interacted regularly with the at-large community I've represented. I think I've had some great chats on the RMB, with time hampered in the past 1-2 by RL circumstances, and I've been really getting an understanding and appreciation for both the style of the RMB and how they ultimately operate. I think if you're going to be Delegate, you should absolutely be involved in Gameside, and I thought Seraph set a more than admirable example of Gameside interaction this term. I definitely think that being less RMB involved prior might hurt me should I make it to Gameside, but I hope that my goals, passion, overall drive, and the interactions I have had will reflect in a way that will make folks supportive of my candidacy.

2. I think obviously context is important, in that Jesus Whale was widely-suspected as being a foreign plant who many experienced individuals thought would coup. However, when it comes down to it, it's a completely different situation and environment. In the case of Osiris, it was always ultimately a top-controlled oligarchy, and I widely consulted on the action against Jesus Whale basically ensuring the folks at the top knew what would happen and what we were getting into.

The South Pacific is not anything like that, and that's one of the things I love most about this region. We are a proudly democratic region, one that exudes strength and passion on a worldwide scale. Democracy is one of our cornerstones, and we have a more than capable security net should any threats arise. Ultimately, what connects people is not the laws themselves though, but the community they govern. What connects people is people, and I don't think I'd ever be willing to sacrifice the friendships I built for an action like that. Here in TSP, if a candidate we don't like wins, we still go with it. Some people think power is worth more than friends, and I'm very much not about that. It's friendships that keep us going, and I couldn't burn friendships for some in-game bullshit.

You were key in helping with the Harry Potter and the Festival of Friends as admin and planner and also with the Game of Thrones festival as admin and planner! So you're also great at culture and development ^.^

In addition, many of our allies and friends liked having you in discussions about treaties and you helped revise a lot of the language for our treaties when I was MoFA. 

This race had a lot of interesting candidates, but the two Ts (you and our favorite ocean wave) have all my support and faith Smile
