Campaign Rally
Good Evening, Ladies and Gentleturtles! Today I stand to announce that I will be contesting the January 2015 Election for Delegate of the North Pacific.
After much consideration, and after consulting with my wife and family ,I believe that a McMasterdonia Delegacy will offer the best course for the region over the next four months of Government.
If elected, my government will aim to continue the good work of the last 16 months. r3naissanc3r has served this region excellently, and it has been my great pleasure to have worked with him both as Delegate and as a Minister. The Executive staff reform has revolutionized the way new members in our region interact with the government and has massively expanded the opportunities for participation in our regional government.
This election, we pledge to campaign differently. Our election campaign is going to be built from the grassroots up. We will be using this campaign as a platform to not only show our vision for the next four months of government, but to promote the Regional Forum and our Regional Assembly. This election presents an opportunity for us, as candidates, to promote the democratic system of government for which our great region is known - to promote that link between forum and game-side community, and to greatly expand and appeal to the electorate.
This campaign will be conducted in a number of platforms - on the regional forum, the regional IRC channel, the regional message board, and of course, through personalised telegrams to nations within the region. While some scripting may be used for general campaign telegrams, we will primarily be aiming to develop stronger in-game connections with the nations of TNP, to encourage them to join the regional forum, and to ultimately go on to contribute there and to exercise their rights as TNP nations to vote in our elections.
Additionally, there will be a role play aspect to our campaign. As part of our outreach efforts to nations in the region, seeking to encourage them to join the forum and the Regional Assembly, we will be offering an RP incentive to interested nations in the form of state visits from national leadership to commemorate the occasion and welcome them.
Throughout this post, I have said “we” instead of “I”. This is because of the final aspect of my campaign - I am not standing alone. My vision for the upcoming term is for my Vice Delegate to serve also as my Deputy, to assist me in running the executive branch, to have an active role in the creation of policy and a strong partnership when implementing projects and ideas. I want someone who can be my foil, who will bring their own strong ideas and personality to the table and never simply agree with me when I’m wrong. Therefore, I wish to stand for office alongside the vice delegate candidate whom I am most excited to work with and who shares my goals and vision for the term ahead of us.
After much discussion and reflection all around, I am pleased to announce that none other than SillyString has agreed to run for Vice Delegate at my side. We will campaign together, and offer our ideas together, and if elected we will obviously work closely together to bring our platform to fruition.
SillyString is a legendary legislator, a perfect project manager, and a respected member of the region, with her previous service as a charismatic Chief Justice and as a delightful deputy Speaker. If elected, SillyString will serve as my second-in-command and trusted advisor, with a key role in the executive government.
Together, we commit to carrying out a strong four month term, dedicated to continuing the good governance of the region and maintaining our strong position in the World Assembly, Foreign Affairs and military gameplay. Additionally, we commit ourselves to pursuing reforms which will improve governmental transparency, and to running an open, transparent government to the utmost practicable extent. We firmly believe that TNP citizens should never be left to wonder what their government is doing behind their backs.
This is not our campaign platform, which we will be releasing in more detail later. Rather, it is a notice of our intent to run for the offices of Delegate and Vice Delegate. Our campaign begins today, and we strongly encourage other candidates to consider stepping forward, to make this an enjoyable and competitive election.
