Hey everyone!
I'm running for Delegate. Why am I running?

I believe that the Delegate has to be a nation that is active. By active I mean someone who is online (nearly) every day. The Delegate needs to be able to respond to any telegrams or messages that they might get, as well as welcome new nations and endorse them.

I fit this criteria quite well. I have been online pretty much every day, and participated in Roll-Playing, The Grand Debate Hall, Taco Island, WA resolutions, and TITO of course, as well as my official responsibilities as Senator, buddy and ambassador for two regions.

The way Foreign Affairs have been handled by Ananke is great. The Delegate, as the face of ourselves to the world, needs to be someone that is friendly, but not afraid to defend 10KI if needed.

Feel free to ask me any questions. Especially policy ones, I find them the most interesting.

I would continue posting the polls -- and I would vote according to the results of the poll. Personally, I would do my best to ensure we vote against a repeal of Condemn Nazi Europe, but I would still vote according to the poll. The only exception would be if I was asked to vote a certain way on liberations by Grub/AD.

I would invite resolution-writers and campaigners to post at our forum. I would not invite invaders/Nazis to post about SC resolutions, we have nothing to hear from them. Actually, I probably won't invite Nazis at all.

Yes.

Well, I think that diplomatic relations (with most regions) never hurt anyone. They help us build ourselves a good name around the NS world, and I do think that was a factor in getting our commendation back (well, judging by the vote now we should). If there are any good regions which we can establish relations with, I would certainly like to do that.

Diplomatic relations with invaders would just be silly of course.

Regarding approval of embassies, I think the current practice of posting in the Co9 is good.

Regarding endorsement trading, I would definitely use it. While some may say endorsements are 'more satisfying' if you didn't endorse the other nation first, this would result in a significant decrease in the power of our region. I see no reason not to endo-trade.

I would probably drop a short and friendly note to new nations, telling them to message me if they have any questions etc.

That is indeed one of the disadvantages of the Delegate position – being unable to participate in TITO missions.

However, if you guys choose that I am the right person for the job, the advantages of having the best Delegate outweigh the loss of one TITO Knight.

Getting elected may mean that Guy won't be going on missions, but that doesn't mean that he won't be forwarding defense requests and coast watching. You can still be an active member of TITO and be delegate. And in any case, Ananke will be coming back to TITO so even if we lose an active TITO nation, we gain one right back.

No, it's not a stupid question, but one I can't answer. While I certainly do plan on being active after my Delegacy, I can't promise that.

I can promise I will be on for a couple of hours nearly every day, and I will completely fulfill my duties.

lol, yeah, when even longtime TITO members forget to endorse the delegate it's no surprise that most other 10ki members do as well, if they don't get reminded.
