How does one go about explaining why one would want to be Vice Delegate? I suppose I could go into grandiose statements of political philosophy and policy, but that would be a largely meaningless endeavour that would dilute my reasons for running for the position. So where do I start?
When McM resigned the Delegacy, I was rather shocked, not so much about the resignation, but when I logged into my nation and immediately realised that something very strange had happened. I looked at my TGs and one said, "take a look at the RMB header". I looked and went, "oh, crap," when I saw my nation in the position of WA Delegate. Then I laughed when I realised that there were probably more than a few other people who saw that and went, "oh, crap." At any rate, I thought is was a little odd.
It was an interesting situation because I was 3rd in the line of succession via the SC, but I had more endorsements than Silly String who was Vice Delegate, which, of course meant that SS was Acting Delegate and I was Acting Vice Delegate. So, the immediate task at that point was to do what was requested of me by the Acting Delegate and work as quickly as possible to do my designated part to assure that the transition of power was accomplished as quick as possible and assume the role of Acting Vice Delegate. Fortunately, the whole process went off without a hitch (largely to the work done by Asta in coordinating the effort). The rest is history.
This rather intrigued me in terms of whether or not I would like to serve the region as an actual Vice Delegate. Being the type who is fascinated by any 'process' (and I view being in such an executive position as a 'process'), I thought to myself, Hell, I can do this job and do it well.
Is an interesting anecdote related to it all, previously, before ending up as a "Caretaker Delegate", I have voted one way on an WA vote, which translated to a Delegate's vote in that matter. Silly String, as Acting Delegate, requested I change my vote, which, as duty required of me, to do. Of course, some people took issue with the fact that I changed my vote as I was requested to do, so I explained to them that as and SC member, I was required to do as the Acting Delegate directed me to do. I explained to them that was the nature of the beast and to do otherwise was not an option for any number of reasons in my view.
And that's about it. All I can do is ask for your vote.
