That said, I can't help but notice you then you lash out when you get angry — recently at me on the RMB but also during (I believe) an MoRA campaign, as well.

I'm not trying to dredge up the past unnecessarily (I've have my fair share of outbursts as well), but wonder (a) if you've learned anything from such instances and (b) how do you think you would cope with stressful situations (and people) as delegate?

Well that MoRA campaign time was because of Cormac, and this time it was continued discussion of Trump.
Silliness aside, this is something I have inherited in real life, and I need to be better at controlling. I know this probably doesn't sound relevant but after a long time of not being able to say something against someone who is wrong (RL), when I get the chance here I do it. I just always believe I am right.

A) I do learn from it. I made up with Herp almost immediately and after sending a rude telegram to someone, I felt bad. Luckily they didn't care too much.
B) I guess I will have to do my best to not lash out. I know that a delegate should be helpful and kind, and I have to keep that sort of mindset while dealing with it. I had many stressful situations before in my life and dealt with them, I just need to forget that I can say whatever I want here and deal with them like I know how to.
Sorry if that was long and unecessary.

What's your pov of the RMB/forums-thing? We're a diverse region and, as far as I saw it, when I was reading/writing on the RMB, we need to connect the RMB and the forum a bit more again. Maybe just through motivating more people to gain legislator status and be active, when it comes to participation of TSP-politics or roleplays or anything like that.
What would you wanna do in this direction? Would you wanna do anything about it anyway or is there no need for this "reconnecting" in your opinion?

I do think you have a point, but last time we tried to get people on the forum nothing really happened. I am a person who wants politics mostly out of the RMB if it doesn't need to be there. The RMB is for general chat. If we want to get more forum participation we need to look at the other Pacifics. TNP has a massive forum population, but a fairly bland forum compared to us.
I think we could go about this another way with my idea of putting stuff on the NS forums which is easy to navigate and doesn't require sign up. My idea of gameside fellowship program could also be another way of interesting more people in the region.
