Howdy, my fellow South Pacifians,

Whether you are friends, rivals, fish, ladies, gentlemen, Apache attack helicopters, or Belschaft, I invite you all to read this short campaign.

As you can see, I am running for Minister of Engagement. I was/still am abysmally awful at making my posts colorful and fun to look at, so I just won't!

Despite being in NS/TSP for roughly 10 years total, and 6 years concurrently thus far, I have never actually been elected to a position within TSP. Well, unless you count me being elected Chair (and Vice-Chair) of the APC that is.

Never being elected makes me inexperienced in the ways of executive governance, just like many other newer arrivals to the region wishing to seek election. However, what sets me apart is that I have always been watching from the background and am aware of the mistakes and triumphs that have been made in the past.

Now on to the campaign part of this campaign.

Article VI, Section 9 of the Charter gives the Minister of Engagement the following mandate:

(9) The Minister of Engagement will be responsible for recruiting and integrating new players into the Coalition's government and community, maintaining public infrastructure such as dispatches and other guides, setting unified presentation standards, and providing graphics to the government and citizens of the Coalition.

The objectives of the mandate are:

• Recruiting and integrating new players
  
• Maintaining public infrastructure
  
• Setting unified presentation standards
  
• Providing graphics
  

I believe that should I be elected Minister of Engagement, I will be able to lead the Ministry of Engagement into the completion and continued progress of these mandates.

As the Coalition enters a rather uncertain time with a potential Great Council having the opportunity to make great changes to the framework of the government. My function, as Minister, would be to ensure that new players are aware of the changes being made and the opportunity they have to impact change. I will also work hand-in-hand with the Ministry/Minister of Media (and private media) to keep the region informed on the progress made during the potential Great Council.

Lastly, I will assist the next Prime Minister and the other Cabinet Ministers in collectively running the executive government. Governance doesn't stop when a Great Council could be in session. We do have to maintain our image, don't we?

This more or less sums up my aims in the upcoming term, I will now take any questions that anyone might have.

As far as being abroad, from 2018-2020 I spent time in Balder, was Minister of World Assembly Affairs there for over a year, and also spent my latter months there as Lawspeaker/Talman (Chair) of the Balder Storting/Odelsting (Assembly) before being banned for "attempting to overthrow the King" (really it was democratizing the region, but they didn't like that either). Since then, some slow progress has been made there, so that is a good step, I guess.

In any case, now I conclude my campaign!
