Punchwood, what can you offer that other candidates don't offer that would make we want to vote for you?

And congrats QuietDad on your marriage.

Unfortunately I don't have screenshots from the day of so these ones don't have the hours, though considering the very lengthy conversation after what Argon2 did (certain parts of which are classified) the current cabinet and anyone else in it at the time can certainly vouch for me on this and cabinet IRC logs from the day would have included me posting the times upon noticing the similiarities.

84 days ago we gave Punchwood access to the TSP games region. Shortly after Argon2 is created. 3 days after this initial access Argon2 and a few raider "friends" invade the region. Prior to this Punchwood resigns from the WA. Less than an hour later Argon2 joins the WA. After this raid attempt Argon2 resigned from the WA, and once again shortly after Punchwood rejoined the WA. Both have remained active and neither have joined/rejoined the WA since. And of course anyone reading your posts during Argon2's actions will clearly note that you maintained a curious fixation on his actions.

1. I was and have never been told about training or missions in fact TSP army was so inactive I had never heard of it for ages, and when I applied to join I waited a long time and I never got a reply in the end I cancelled my request.

2. You have to remember I have a life outside of NS, at that time (in my time zone) I am at work, yes sometimes if I have a space minute or two I might go on for a min, but not offend.

As I said my main goals are to keep TSP safe and get more nations involved with the army. So really one of my main goals is to make the SPSF active again. I don't think I need experience for that. However I have played other games and within alliances people were getting inactive I brought life back into those alliances by many ways I can do that here as well.

I can't make you vote for me if you think I can't do this job then don't vote for me. I will never have hard feelings towards you for doing what you think is best for TSP. But I believe that I can do this job and I will do my best to make you believe in me too.

I have no issues with you. Trust me. It's all good. The SPSF WAS active in April and May. Not only in missions within TSP, but in collaberation with several other armies out there. Geomania and I posted many times to recruit players and got several responses. News of activity is transmitted by TG because posting actions in the forum is kind of pointless when attacking needs stealth. Kind of pointless to post "SHHHHHHHHHH, We're liberating Liberal Haven (or any other region) tonite!" in a public forum. The reason you didn't get contacted is that I got married the end of May (and inherited 3 teen boys with it) and have a daughter getting married in October. Geo got a new job, and Arbiter08 became Vice delegate and we have become distracted. You need to realize that ALL invasions take place a midnight EST, and require more than a minute to pop in, when NS updates. Moving into a region early just gets you banned before anything happens. I would run, but it's too early in a new life to issue the statement "But, Honey! There's a RAID tonight! We can go out tommorow!"

If all things start at midnight EST for starters if I was in your time zone I would be asleep getting ready for work. Secondly as I said last time I would be in the middle for work at that time in fact that's about the time I would have my tea, at work I might add.

Farengeto I can join and re-join the WA as I wish. I was the person who told Escade about the riders and Argon2 arriving sadly Escade has left us so she can't tell you as well. Once more I gave my password for my puppet account to Kringla I can give it to you as well if you wish.

So then you're saying it'd be impossible to do your job? Why are you even running then?

(EDIT so I don't triple post) Right now you have Hobbeistan, a candidate clearly much more skilled and with an SC commendation, declating his bid for MoA if RON wins the vote. How do you feel about this sideline challenger and what makes you a better candidate than them?

I can still do my job, both of course. I would do a survey for the army only and see which time zone most people are in and which time would be best for most people.

I am not a better candidate than Hobbeistan and he is no better then me. We both have different ideas that's it, yes he may have skills but can he work hard ? Hard work will beat skill and talent when skill and talent don't work hard. I feel better know that there is now an opponent, at least I know now that there will be a MoA instead of re-opening nominations. I know I can't win no one believes in me but I believe in myself and that's all that matters to me.

I can't make you vote for me and I know you most likely will not vote for me. But all I can do is try my best and fight till the very end.

There's no such thing as a best time. There's the time the region updates (12am and pm EST +/- a bit,) and that's it. If you can't attend the main update (as a large amount of players are americans and have RL conflicts with the minor update) when you're needed most, then what's the point in being MoA?

Tell me why should people be up at that time ? Midnight.
How is that the best time for people to be up ?
Should people not be in bed asleep ? So there ready for work the next day.

It makes no sense for people to be awake at that time and if people are that silly to be awake at that time (unless there in a different time zone) why should I run for that campaign.

I will not step down as candidate and will keep on fighting no matter what you throw at me. If I lose (which I will) then no matter at least I gave it my best short. I will lose with my head held high and shake the hand of the winning person.

Punchwood, just to clarify. When the minor and major updates take place -- generally about midnight EST (and I assuming noon for the minor?), that's when the endorsements are counted for delegate. Therefore, if the SPSF is looking to invade and/or liberate a place, the forces would need to be moved into the region quickly near the update to prevent the delegate from ejecting people.

Hence the questioning as to how you can swing that and/or make sure forces are ready, if you can't be around for the updates.

You seem to be in complete ignorance of how R/D mechanics even work. R/D is built around the game's mechanics, not the other way around. The game is built to update at midnight and noon, and the defending side will kick out any attackers that try and get in earlier.

I have spent your last few posts doing facepalms and headdesks. My forehead hurts now.

Finally, you keep mentioning your puppet yet refuse to give its name, other than supposedly to an inactive user.
