I've been serving as the Vice-Delegate (Grandee Secretary & Defender of the Realm) for two consecutive terms, both of which I thoroughly enjoyed. I believe this is the next step in serving Lazarus to the best of my abilities. History has shown me that it is not necessarily what one says, when running for Delegacy, but rather one's recently proven capacity for taking action, that defines them as a candidate. Hopefully my ongoing commitment to working here speaks for itself in that respect and is reassurance that the goals for my candidacy I am about to outline will be accomplished. The past three Delegates promised a lot and, in my opinion, bit off more than they could chew. While I respect their efforts and understand that they may have been overwhelmed by the responsibilities of this position I have to admit that I have been a little frustrated with the unfulfilled promises. I think everyone can agree that we've seen a lot of ambitious and exciting plans fall by the wayside lately and I promise that this will not happen under my administration. I will be approaching this office with these three goals, which I plan to immediately and effectively address: [1.] Zealous activity: The responsibilities involved with being Sovereign will not be taken lightly by me (throughout my entire term). These next 3 months will need constant attention to keep up with constitutional change, regional security, etc. I refuse to be absent for these upcoming challenges, Sovereign or not. And I hope that this consistent activity will inspire my peers to be just as involved in the government and encourage an even higher standard for participation than we currently maintain. You have seen that I can be active in my other roles. I don't plan to suddenly stop once I am elected Delegate. [2.] Stronger communication within the Government and community: So much has happened lately and there still seems to be a general lack of constructive discussion. I aspire to propagate conversation within the Executive and between branches to encourage better collaboration and cooperation between officials and to expedite governmental processions. I love the environment found in this great region and would like to build upon the foundation created by the Celestial Mandate Act. I will make it an initiative to have often (1-2 times a week, but not mandatory :P) a personal gathering amongst officials to discuss short-term goals with a definitive list of what needs work. I also plan to create an easy to read guide that will summarize the key ideas found in the CMA and help new players (and older players) gain a better understanding of how it works. [3.] Foreign Affairs: As Delegate I would review our current list of embassies alongside the rest of the Executive and government to determine if any updates or removals need to be made. I would also strive to improve relations between our region and the other Sinkers: namely, Osiris and Balder. Our feuds with these regions, which could be valuable allies or even friends, are due to old wounds and remaining hostile as a result of actions taken by old regimes is needless and harmful to all involved parties. Furthermore and finally I would like to note that my transition into office will be relatively fast (not that this should be the deciding factor for choosing the Delegate, but it is something that would incidentally work in our favor if you are to choose me), since I am second in endorsements in the region right now, which means I would have more time to build influence and would be able to send regional telegrams sooner. Again, definitely not a deciding factor, but helpful since I will be able to effectively get to work faster. Some Delegates look like they lose momentum during the transition period after a hard-fought campaign. As always, I know Lazarus will make the right decision this election, even if that decision is choosing a candidate that the region feels is more fit, and I am honored to be a part of it!

If I may, a couple follow-up questions: Kowassati ----Liberate Eternal Scholars & ----Liberate Social Liberal Union: I vote For on most liberations because they are necessary to keep small regions free from either raiders, Nazis, etc. In the case of Eternal Scholars, they were re-invaded while a repeal of the liberation was at vote. The question was more to do with your view on when is the appropriate time to repeal a liberation, if ever. And would you have supported a second liberation proposal if the repeal had gone through? In SLU's case, the raiders drafted the proposal for the liberation. The natives also drafted a proposal around the same time, but it did not gain enough traction to reach quorum. The natives of SLU sent out a campaign spam against the liberation which went to vote. Which proposal would you have supported? Maybe both? How would you vote on a liberation which may offer praise to the raiders? Kowassati Commend Renaissancistic People: [FOR] Judging by what was written on the proposal, I believe he is deserving. What are your thoughts on the Independence Manifesto and the general impact of "independent alignment" on the game? Kowassati Repeal of "Condemn DEN":[FOR] Another terrible proposal riddled with factual errors Do you believe DEN is deserving of a condemnation, if there was a better proposal on offer? ----Liberate Eternal Scholars & ----Liberate Social Liberal Union: I tend to leave such matters in the hands of the region. I will keep Lazarus updated on what proposal comes through, similar to Altmoras, and vote according to what the region as a whole believes. Commend Renaissancistic People: Nothing Repeal of "Condemn DEN": I believe I was not here when Condemn DEN was at vote so

I think CAIN needs time to straighten things out, as does anything that large and complex, but I support the coalition. I would like Lazarus to be a little more supportive, but not enough to be completely submerged to the point of no return if CAIN or an individual within CAIN does something that would lessen their credibility or ours.
