I'm voting RON because, when the going got tough or even just mildly uncomfortable, every single one of the MoRA candidates on the ballot threatened to withdraw or spoke about withdrawing from the election.

With a field of candidates that weaksauce, RON is the natural choice. Maybe even the only choice.

This is MoRA, however. We're not involved with the politics of the game, more so than the culture of it, and being weak in politics does not equate to being weak in culture. Punchwood is not culturally weak, Serres is not culturally weak, I am not culturally weak.

The Minister of Regional Affairs is still a political office, even if it's true that Regional Affairs mostly focuses on culture. Mostly.

Therefore, politics does factor in. However, threatening to pack your bags and go home at the first sign of trouble actually has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with personal fortitude, which I find to be lacking.

I never once threaten to leave the race. I said that to prevent Feirmont from leaving and if people wanted me to I would leave the region as I didn't want their fun to be ruined by me. I'll be honest here and say I never really meant it, it was more just to show that I was and still am sorry.

Disingenuous or not, you threatened to quit the region and thus the race. Your excuse seems very much like a case of "no, but yes".

Hardly Wolf yet if you want to act like the big man I'll let you.

@~~Wolf~~, none of these people are 'weaksauce'. Even if RON got through, you wouldn't be getting anymore people to run than the people who already have. The role of MoRA is a hard one, as hard as any other Minister. These citizens are running because they know they can do a good job. Many people stay away in fear of stuffing up. These guys are the only ones who could have any success in RA (I'm talking about Serres too), and don't deserve to be called names by someone who just rocked up and went 'I wanna be delegate!!'

I don't see anything wrong running for the sake of making it more than a one choice race for Delegate/Vice Delegate, something that unfortunately happens quite often in TSP.

In any case, justify your logic all you want and shrink from the truth. The fact remains that all three candidates threatened to withdraw from the race/leave the region, two of which even have the gall to act insulted when this is pointed out and, of those two, one, better yet, admitted he only made his announcement for pity points.

No name calling was done here, Zak, only facts being pointed out.

Facts are inconvenient, huh?
