It's often very useful for delegates to be around at game updates (12am and pm EST). WA resolutions go to vote then, and a delegate voting early in important SC resolutions can make a big difference. In addition, a delegate being able to be present at update can help them deal with security issues under the advice of the CRS. It's not strictly necessary, but it can give TSP advantage.

Are you usually around at major update (12am EST)? If yes, how often?
If no, how often would you be able to be around at major update if specifically requested?

Are you usually around at minor update (12pm EST)? If yes, how often?
If no, how often would you be able to be around at minor update if requested?

Let's jump in with a few proper questions:

1. What are your qualifications to be Delegate? You've served only a partial term in office as MoRA, a term which raises a lost of its own concerns. What makes you qualified to hold our highest office?
   
2. I find something questionable about your campaigning on a platform of unity, when it stands at odds with your own political record. Your entire platform in TSP has been about targeting segments of TSP you claim are "establishment" and have long tried to stoke anger against it. It's one thing to say you won't do that again, but why should we believe it?
   
3. The Delegacy is a very powerful office to hold. It can can control our security policy, and it extreme cases it can oppose our security (i.e. through a coup). You hold no security qualifications yourself, which isn't a severe issue on its own. However you've come into open conflict with several members of the CRS and other important security individuals on many occasions. Many of those involved with regional security are members of the so-called establishment you've repeatedly openly attacked. So why should we trust you with the fate of our region's security if you held the highest office? Can we trust that you won't undermine our region's security - directly or indirectly - when you've been so hostile towards its membership in the past?
   

I suspect I'll have another list of these whenever you post the actual platform, but I'll leave it here for now. 

1. This is gonna harp back to later awnsers: The delegacy isn't an executive position, it's ceremonial. I don't necessarily think that executive history is required for the position. What makes me qualified for this position is that I have a keen interest in WA matters, have a hope for unity here, and that above all I am willing and prepared to safe keep, protect, and hold up the coalition and the people of the South Pacific.

2. You can choose to believe as you wish. I will say this though: there is no sentence or paragraph that I could say that would convince you that I've changed, it is only through action that I can prove that I have. With that in mind I hope that you give me the opportunity to prove it wether in or out of the delegacy. As i said earlier a lot of the harshest antiestablishment rhetoric emerged in reaction to things that I didn't feel were fair, it is my belief now that the only way forward is to commit conscious efforts to unify and avoid divisiveness.

3. The pure and simple fact is that engaging in a coup or defiling the security laws on the books in tsp is illegal, I don't think that any person who gains the delegacy would ever be actually able to break the law without being subdued by the crs and tried by the courts. I actually view this as a credit to the establishment: that the system they created is bulletproof save for democratic change caused by a majority of the region. I would like to remind you that my opposition to the people you mentioned is purely political, and that I support the people in the crs and other non political security positions. I'm sure that you're uniquely aware of how many times I've quietly and privately went to the crs to report illegal activity, and that my personal integrity is important to me, and that I hold tsp's laws to a high standard. 

1. While the Delegate is largely ceremonial, it is a position of leadership. Directly and indirectly, it has major leadership roles and responsibilities, and a Delegate needs to be a leader. A candidate needs to demonstrate leadership qualifications.

I have some more comments on the other points, but I can't think of how to articulate them right now.

Didn't you say this in your previous campaigns as well, only to then bash the 'establishment' in the most recent MoRA campaign ...

What are your plans for how you will contribute to TSP if you are not elected?

Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.

What makes you better than all of the other candidates? Why should I send my vote to you, and to not to TSSS or Pen, for example?

Secondly, how do you hope to deal with gameside issues, and assist in integration projects?
