Hi everyone. Its the delegate you all know and love asking you to elect me for the first time! I am running for this election to Win the Battle for the Soul of America (I mean Wintreath ).

My delegacy went off from a rough start. For those of us that were here, April, May, and June, saw us once again struggle to hold together our fracturing region. Coupled with the state of affairs in the world, people losing jobs, caused us to lose many well-esteemed and appreciated members of Wintreath. After suddenly being thrusted into a job that luckily I had a little exposure in (being vice-delegate for a few months), it was still unexpected, but through the help of my fellow Thanes, Jarls, and Monarch I was able to get myself occupied and thus tried to basically do my own form of community building. This is why my main message as delegate has been to mend the region together. Now that I am running to be reelected in my own right, I want to create my own independent message, yet I still believe I want to keep the status quo of trying to rebuild our region and I think I am well equipped to do this.

Some of the things I've done as delegate is continue to monitor and stimulate the increase of activity in the RMB, maintain my voting record dispatch on the NS website, give advice and suggestions for how to vote on WA issues (shout out to our Thane of Integration for his help with this) update some of Katie's dispatches on FRAP, maintain the highest number of endorsements as a delegate, and I'm also very proud of my weekly polls and summaries that have been a favorite of the citizens and which I plan on continuing to do.

Here are some of my goals for this term (my mandate that I will review in November when I run for reelection)
1. Continue to maintain activity on the RMB and my weekly polls. I also want to encourage our roleplay side of the RMB which has been fairly active and consistent
2. Finish updating all or most of Katie's old dispatches
3. Increase membership in the WA
4. Continue to record voting records on my dispatch
5. Work with my fellow thanes (I also look forward to working with the new thane of embassies into creating more inter-regional relations and revitalizing our ambassador program)
6. Continue to stay active on Discord
7. Make a few more informational dispatches
8. Do all my other WA duties that aren't part of my own individual mandate

I plan on accomplishing these by doing what I've been doing for the past 3 months, managing my time and being willing to ask and take the help of my fellow Wintreans.

Lets keep the Status Quo, it seems perfectly fine!

Status Quo Joe Ogun.

WA is definitely a position requiring stability, so maintaining the status quo is important unless something is Egregiously Wrong with the department. And that hasn't happened, and I appreciate the work you've been doing, so you have my endorsement

Status Quo Joe Ogun.

Now we need a Trump-like character running for delegate so we can turn Ogun's campaign into a liberal meme

@Doc, you're up.

@Doc, you're up.

I think he'd object to the comparison to Trump, and to being included in liberal memes

even if i didn't get a little salty at being compared to a proto-fascist who is only limited to 'proto' because of his staggering incompetence, i couldn't fairly run for a role that would be technically my own subordinate, since i could take advantage of my right to approve people's candidacy to simply only approve my own
i may wish the destruction of the UH, but this doesn't extend to the rest of the government

At least 1 part of the government is safe from the Burn it Down Party 

Hey Ogun, no questions for you, but I just wanted to say that it was really great to work with you this term in WA, and I am looking forward to continuing to work with you this next term! Good luck!

I completely forgot to do the usual approval but the theoretical opening of elections in a couple hours reminded me.
Usual boilerplate follows;

In the interest of a fair contest should anyone else should choose to run for this office, I'd like to stress to the public at large that my vetting and approval does not represent an endorsement, tacit or otherwise, of a candidate, but merely that the candidate is capable, qualified, and serious, and to further highlight this I have traditionally and will continue abstaining from voting for any Thanes under Regional Affairs.

That out of the way, Ogun has taken a surprise deputization as our WAD well into his stride since Katie's sudden departure and done an excellent job, so I unreservedly approve of his candidacy for this office.

Hey ogun! It looks like with hours left for people to stand, you will win the election by default.

So I'm going to ask you to be your own opponent...what do you think your biggest weakness was in the current term, and how would you overcome it in the next?

Hi Moot. My greatest weakness will definitely be time management or even having enough time to do my delegate work. Online schooling is starting in a couple of weeks, including several outside of school commitments and even other work in other regions I am in. However, I plan on creating a planning system so I am still very active in Wintreath and not failing in my other IRL commitments. One good thing about all of this is that since my school will be online till about November, I will be able to spend time on discord, the forums, and the RMB

Thank you for your reply back.
