What are your thoughts on the OWL and do you believe that a day will come that it becomes a full-fledged ministry?

Thanks for your question!
I think that OWL is a really good success story - we now have a WA department staffed with experienced WA authors and up and coming TSPers, that runs like a well oiled machine. I would love to give OWL a more prominent role in TSP as Prime Minister.
And that segways into the next thing - currently, OWL doesn't have the numbers required to be a full fledged Ministry. However, if we put it more front and center and advertise it more to the WA community, I am sure that it'll become a Ministry in no time.

I'm quite surprised that no-one picked up on this element of the CoI.

This is concerning to say the least. The "founder" of the Asteorra family, Altino, had access to #the_red_phone, which was a channel where senior members of the raiding community effectively plotted to fuck with TSP through multiple methods.

Whereas I don't have anything against Asteorra in general when it applies to other regions (whatever floats your boat etc.), it does raise a red flag when a PM candidate for TSP is in a family whose founder was in #the_red_phone.

So, two questions:

    How will you manage this potential CoI with being in the Asteorra family;
    If asked to, would you resign from the Asteorra family?

So, first of all, I get the concern. We are very not fond of the Rahls, and Asteorra does seem like the second coming of them, besides the coup-y parts (yet).
I will always put the Coalition before the Asteorras. No question about it. TSP will always, always, always come first. So that’s how I’m managing that CoI - coalition first.
Second - Yes, I suppose. I did raise the issue with security people within the region and they told me that I could stay. But in the most dire situations, yes, I suppose.

Thanks for the answers! <3

I'll line some more questions up for the candidates tomorrow.

This campaign is an abomination!

Inexcusable!

Tantamount to treason!

How dare you promote such values as international cooperation and acceptance of foreigners and their inferior ideals!  You and your campaign disgust and repulse me.  To think that we have people running for the Prime Minister position of our most beloved TSP who would dare think to, of all things, compromise with our enemies!  We cannot trust foreigners.

TSP is for TSPers; foreign lands are for foreigners.

What will you do to ensure TSP superiority in all matters, and what has made you hate TSP so much that you would post this campaign without a plan for our domination of others?

I am in supportive to you, just one question, how do you plan to tackle inactivity and lower participation?

Well, I don't think that inactivity and low participation is necessarily a problem in TSP - we may be down now, but that's normal - summer lull.
I guess marketing the forums, ministries, and events on the RMB regularly would be a good start, but I think we're really doing all we can to combat inactivity already.

I am so sorry to disappoint you, my dear RMB queen!
I will ensure TSP superiority! Always! I will send brigades of loyal supporters to Gameplay! I will flood inferior foreign RMBs with TSPers! I will destroy regions then fly the TSP banner over the- wait no
Name a region to coup, Auphelia, and we will coup it!
All hail the Octopus Queen and the Admiral General Delegate!
