Hello again!
For those of you who don't know me, I'm HumanSanity or HS. I'm the incumbent Blue Canaria North Senator and Senior Senator of 10000 Islands. I'm an active recruiter, spammer, Knight Commander of TITO, Emissary to Lazarus, and I'm proud to call 10000 Islands my home.
Four months later, I've decided I want to run for re-election. Why is that you might ask? And why run for New Republica South this time around?
Well, I think I did good work in my first term and I'd like to continue it. In my first term I:
In a second term I would like to serve as New Republica South Senator. After talking to @thx1138, my Deputy Senator this past term, we decided it was best for him to run for BCN Senator and me to run for NRS. THX is an excellent Islander who contributed immensely to Emissary Reports during my term, and I think he'll be able to continue the strong work we started together during my term. I give @thx1138 my fullest and unresered endorsement.
I want to use this next term to turn my attention to the new portfolio of New Republica South - running debates for the region. My goal would be to post two debates bi-weekly. One debate on a serious subject of political or intellectual merit, and one on a casual subject allowing people to let loose a little. My hope is that by holding these debates we can increase forum activity. I think this dovetails well with the goals I was trying to accomplish with my proposal to create a Cultural Office. I want to take on these responsibilities in addition to continuing with my duties as Senior Senator.
Additionally, selfishly, if I win election as the New Republica South Senator this term, I will be the first person to have ever served in all four Senate seats. I know, I'm a total nerd.
My goal for the next term, and for the region in general, is to increase activity. For me, this involves helping lead cultural events, maintaining a friendly presence on the forum, Discord and RMB, and trying to find ways to keep Islanders active and engaged. A crucial component of this is finding ways to bridge platform divides between our Discord, forum, and game-side users - trying to ensure as many people as possible are having an enjoyable experience on multiple platforms. I am open to any and all proposals designed to accomplish this and consider it my primary objective in the upcoming term.
If you have any questions, let me know! As a Senator, I prioritize listening to and considering the perspectives of my constituents, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you all.

Well, I think I did good work in my first term and I'd like to continue it. In my first term I:
- Ensured timely completion of the Emissary report every month. You can see these emissary reports here: September, October, and November.
- During that time, I brought on Deputy Senator @thx1138. Together, we expanded the Emissary Report to include new sections on WA votes, RMB activity, and an interview section. It is my hope that the section on WA votes, by documenting the vote breakdown in 10000 Islands' forum poll and how that affected resolution outcomes, will encourage more WA authors to come to our forum to advocate for their proposals. Additionally, the interview section has highlighted the contributions of important members of 10000 Islands and I thank Republic of Tikistan, Hakketomat, and Free Earthian Yap (forthcoming) for agreeing to participate!
- Midway through my term I took on the responsibility of being Senior Senator. As part of this I had the honor of naming two Rookies of the Quarter and publishing the Council Report. Additionally, I hosted holiday celebration for Wootsockens Day and Ananke II Day.
- During my time, I proposed a law clarifying the function of the Supreme Court of 10000 Islands as a power of the Council of Nine and a law establishing a Cultural Office. While some of these proposals were controversial, I am accepting of this criticism and I will continue to try to bring ambitious and beneficial proposals to the Council of Nine.
- Lastly, throughout my four months I have been consistently active in Council discussions.
- In my term I adhered to, and will continue to adhere to, Paffnia's transparency pledge regarding Council deliberations. In a futher effort to increase transparency, after the first half of my term I posted explanations for all of my Council votes. RL permitting, I will do so for the second half of my term before the voting begins.
In a second term I would like to serve as New Republica South Senator. After talking to @thx1138, my Deputy Senator this past term, we decided it was best for him to run for BCN Senator and me to run for NRS.
