Vice Delegate's Desk

As promised, this update is a day early, since I'll be in flight most of Sunday and I'm probably going to be exhausted by the time I get to the hotel.

Security Council Status Sheet


Picairn gained a significant amount of endorsements this week, but didn't move up a place. Simone is in between Chipoli and Picairn, and I expect that to change for the next report. Could even be looking at P4 for Picairn by next week. I'd like to get to P2 by next Sunday, though there's an obvious excuse (see below) I could use if I fail. We'll see.

The Top-25

@Halsoni, I see you! Grats on overtaking Corfad! Still a very healthy distance between Halsoni and the SC. @Prov continues to climb up the order. Nothing too concerning at the moment.

WADP and the Card Lotteries
It probably won't be this upcoming week, though there's a chance depending on how my schedule looks this week, but the Daily Card Lottery is set to return! When the program begins, we will be offering a Legendary card daily to all of the Keepers of the North. To qualify, you have to be in the WA, endorsing the Delegate (that's >> Picairn <<), the Vice Delegate (that's >> me <<), and the rest of the Security Council. So, if you aren't already doing that, ask yourself "why not", and please do so! Right now there are 386 keepers, so you'd have a 1 in 386 chance to win. That's better than Powerball!

Additionally, thanks to the works of @Kaschovia, the WADP Awards are back! We recently published Volume 106, which you can find here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=2567571. Give it an upvote! And, if you want to see your name up there, go endorse everyone!

Absence
I will post notice of my impending absence along with who the acting chair will be separately, closer to when I fly out. This absence starts tomorrow, and lasts approximately a week.


Thanks!

I am now considering myself unavailable. I designate @Marcus Antonius as Acting Chair.

My trip is over and I am available again. Thanks @Marcus Antonius for your help!

You're very welcome.

A day early last time, a day late this time. But, it will be done.

Picairn continues to gain endorsements and moved up two positions to P4 as predicted. I also moved up to P2 as I predicted. Tlomz had a significant bump after a recent endorsement run. The number of Keepers continues to climb, and I'm sure it'll climb again once the card lottery begins.

The Top-25

@Prov made their 500 endorsement target. Other than that, not much changed.

Card Lottery
As I mentioned last week, the Daily Card Lottery is set to return. To qualify, you have to be in the WA, endorsing the Delegate (that's >> Picairn <<), the Vice Delegate (that's >> me <<), and the rest of the Security Council.

Currently, I have tested selecting a card from TNL's supply, selecting a random winner, delivering that card, and an automated RMB message. All of this was done separately, though, and they all have to be integrated into a single script that'll run automatically. That is my goal for this week.


Thanks!

Security Council Status Sheet


Picairn is now in striking distance of taking the Delegacy, moving up two spots and past me. All that's left is for Picairn to displace Pallaith, and then we'll discuss the rest of the transition business to make sure I'm at where I need to be at.

The Top-25

@Prov is now on the verge of displacing Corfad, and @Aerilia joined the top-25 this week.

Card Lottery
As I mentioned before, the Daily Card Lottery is set to return. To qualify, you have to be in the WA, endorsing the Delegate (that's >> Picairn <<), the Vice Delegate (that's >> me <<), and the rest of the Security Council.

Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling well all last week and was not able to complete the scripting tasks as I wanted. I'll try for this week.

The Transition
Once Picairn reached 700 endorsements, that was close enough that we could start bumping Pallaith out of the seat without too much damage to our WA voting power. This transition was completed at the Sunday 11/10 Minor update.

Right now, the gap between me and Picairn is 27, which is a bit close. Picairn is working on reaching Simone's previous endorsement levels, but we will likely need to continue pushing Pallaith down to finish my transition to the in-game VD seat without closing the gap between me and Picairn. Endorsement atrophy will eventually get that done.

Staffing Update
Unfortunately, Tlomz didn't sign into the forum in 14 days, and vacated the office of Security Councilor. And then logged in a few hours later. Tlomz has indicated interest in reapplying for the council after some real-life events have concluded.
