Dearest Admiral General Supreme Overlord of all the Lords.... et cetera, et cetera, et cetera...

Thank you very much for the nomination.

The past 100 and odd days of my reign have indeed been glorious, and its been an absolute treat to meet new people and hear their stories.

The IDAHOBIT, Mental Health Awareness Month, and Pride Month regional telegrams, lead to incredible outcomes. Including learning new stories from people who I have not necessarily spoken with before.

It was incredible; to hear and listen to their stories and to *where I knew how* offer my stories and support

Hanging out on the RMB, always one of my favourite things to do, I was able to have a lot of fun with the newbies and (hopefully) didn't scare too many of them off.

Whomever is lucky enough to secure the Assembly and the Public vote, my advice is be yourself, and in the choice between being right and being kind, choose kindness.

I respectfully decline my nomination, and intend to pass the baton to someone more worthy than I.

I nominate Amerion, Seraph and Purple Hyacinth.

DECLARATIONS OF CANDIDACY JULY 2021 DELEGATE ELECTION Fellow South Pacificans, It is once again time to elect a new Delegate of the South Pacific. Article 3 of the Elections Act stipulates: Article 3 3. Office of the Delegate (1) The Delegate will be elected in a two-step process, with the Assembly voting on a slate of nominees on the forums, and the top two candidates in that process being voted on by regional poll on-site. (2) On the first of every January and July, the Assembly will convene for the first round of Delegate elections. a. Any eligible legislator wishing to run for Delegate may declare their candidacy, and the Assembly will debate the merits of their platform. Any player who has been banned from World Assembly membership will be considered ineligible and any candidate who is later discovered to be banned from World Assembly membership will be immediately disqualified. Legislators wishing to run for Delegate must hold a number of endorsements equal to at least 80% of the existing applicable endorsement cap at the commencement of the election period. b. The campaign and debate period will last one week, after which the Assembly will vote for 3 days. c. This round of voting for delegate will be conducted using Approval Voting. d. The two candidates with the highest number of approvals will move to a second round of voting conducted via a poll of Native World Assembly members. e. Should the voting result in a tie, more than two nations may move onto the second round of voting. f. If an advancing candidate receive less than 50% approval, the option to Re-Open Nominations will be 'approved', and the process for that slot shall begin again at the campaign and debate period. (3) After receiving the top candidates in the forum election, an Election Commissioner will create a week-long regional poll accessible to Native World Assembly members, instructing them to vote for their preferred candidate. a. A Dispatch containing the campaigns of all candidates will be created to aid voters in their choice. b. Members of the South Pacific Special Forces who are on deployment for the whole duration of the regional poll are eligible to cast a vote. The Minister of Defense shall provide a list of deployed personnel to the Election Commissioner. Members on the list who send the Commissioner their vote through a telegram and a public post on the Regional Message Board which tags the Election Commissioner and notes who their vote goes towards shall have it added to the final tally. c. The candidate who wins a majority of the votes will be declared the Delegate-elect. d. If no candidate wins a majority of votes, the top two candidates will be placed in a runoff election, mimicking the previous round of voting. (4) The Delegate-elect will be considered formally inaugurated upon achieving the most endorsements. Prior to inauguration, the sole responsibility of the Delegate-elect is to gather endorsements, in coordination with the incumbent Delegate and in cooperation with the Council on Regional Security. The incumbent will continue to hold the office of the Delegate and will remain responsible for all responsibilities of that office, serving out the remainder of their term, until the inauguration of the Delegate-elect. • Declarations shall begin on July 01 at 12 AM (UTC) and conclude on July 08 at 12 AM (UTC) (click for countdown). • Campaigning shall begin on July 01 at 12 AM (UTC) and conclude on July 08 at 12 AM (UTC) (click for countdown). • Voting for the forum round shall begin on July 08 at 12 AM (UTC) and conclude on July 11 at 12 AM (UTC) (click for countdown). • Voting for the gameside round shall begin on July 12 at 12 AM (UTC) and conclude on July 19 at 12 AM (UTC) (click for countdown).

I've liked this post, but only because I've mentally deleted the last sentence. I nominate Beepee again.

Anyway, I accept my nominations.
