F...for delegate? Me?

I'm honored and flattered, but, I'm afraid I will have to decline for the same reasons I declined my Vice Delegacy nomination by JhonsJoe. I'm just not experienced enough yet.

I see myself in the position to run for the delegacy in 1-3 years, though, so when the time comes, this region's getting a giraffical makeover!

:rum:
 
I declare my candidacy on a "Vote Belschaft, get JAL" platform. Whilst I'm not eligible, JAL is* and thus I should be granted ballot access.

My one and only manifesto item will be immediately handing my nation over to JAL upon attaining the Delegacy.


* - JAL, as a TNP Medal of Merit holder, is always eligible.
 
I fourth the nomination of Elu and second COE and Tomb. I also nominate Plembobria, DD, Funkadelia, and GBM.
 
I wish to announce that henceforward, I will not accept any nomination for any elective office in TNP, and I will not stand as a candidate.

Last July, I made clear that I planned to retire from the Regional Assembly and thus, holding elected office on or about July 19th of this year. I mean it, folks.

Therefore, I decline my nomination to serve again as Delegate, and I ask that I not be nominated for this or any other elected office in the future.
 
Thank you for the nomination. I must decline.

Given the number of active admins, i think I am needed more in that capacity. Also, I would not feel comfortable leading TNP in the direction it has been shepherded in the last few years. A delegacy by me would inevitably set up a confrontation with a number of the people who run the region.

Actually, after much consideration, I can't run for Delegate. I couldn't part with the Speaker's Office enough to do that. I'm officially withdrawing from the race.
