The weirdos campaign

Hello my name is Jamij better known as The Weirdo and i want to become the delegate.

Why?

Because I want to and I want to help the region the best I can

Now should you vote for me?

its your choice your voice so you can decide who to vote for not me tell you why also with (now approaching) 7000 rmb post I am someone who is a staple of the gameside community and can relate with them

What am I going to do?

Why I’m going to stop the divide between the pieletariat and cakist.

How?

Well I’m something almost more unholy than religion, that’s right a moderate. I will unite us against our true enemy… THE STEAKISTS they stalk us in their stake outs, and put our friends and family on stakes and all this bickering allows them to grow strong so it is time to join forces and wipe out the steakist’s extremism. Oh and also try to help against the disease that is sleep. I’m going to making desserts obsession not just cake. I will be spreading another message that sleep is a disease (I will be saying this but I mean it in joking I know it’s not a disease and I won’t say this everytime because I HOPE that we don’t have people who need to read the instructions for soap). I will ask the government to have on April first pretend to be coupes taken over by raiders and/or sentient coco. I will also be continuing the fortnightly meetings but I may just ask the pm to create a ministry of news or something similar so that fortnightly meetings or now news reports would be much more accurate and detailed then I could provide . I will ask who ever hasnt endorsed me to endorse me every week or so.

Are you going to do anything by else?

Of course I am going to be a lot more diplomatic with other regions by popping into there rmbs/discord every once and a while and also have a more game side delegacy by hanging around our rmb/discord. I will also help mend the cultural rift between the rmb and forum.

How can you trust me with the delegacy powers?

I know and fundamentally believe you must keep people happy to not lose your rule and the only way I can do that is to not abuse powers and try to be a dictator also I think the idea of a dictator is honestly punishing with many irl dictatorship have massive corruption problems (for example Russia) dictatorships also pause societal and cultural growth (are those the same thing I think they are but I’ll keep) for example pre democratic Taiwan before they thought of themselves to be Chinese however more and more are starting to see themselves as Taiwanese. Also I don’t have the time nor the popularity to maintain a dictatorship no one has the latter also even if I successfully coup and take over or get away with power abuse people will leave and I won’t be able to stop them also some people are still sore over the new pacific order and that was very long ago I feel like I have made friends here and I don’t want to lose them to me being power hungry

Now time for the least important question for any politician, who am I?

Well I’m a weirdo.

What?

You want more?

fine…

I’m active on the discord and rmb not so much on the forums (but I plan to be more active) I have a problem with not sleeping [AS SLEEPING IS A DISEASE] I sometimes manually farm some cards I have a Vice-Delegate of another region be the leader of my cult (discord only) I’m american and I have a great grandparent who’s (this isn’t a joke) nickname is Papa Pie, I also have 10 easter eggs on my main, and I can name any country on a map.
My alts are:
Weird Card Farmer 1-50, Weird Card Factory 1-50 {The Weirdos Card Farming Lands}
A Weird Bank {The Region That Has No Big Banks}
The Weirdigo, Da Evil, Spsf Card Storage, The Weirdo Alt Thingy, Tsp Pie Company {The South Pacific}
Pings {The North Pacific}
Bribe {The Council of Asia}
Jamijia {The Pacific}

I have had no other positions in any region beside a region from years ago that has long died I don’t remember the name of and my card puppet region The Weirdos Card Farming Lands

What do you plan on doing that’s different than what Griffindor has been doing? What do you plan on doing the same?

I’d like to note that the Delegacy is a serious position critical to the well-being of the Coalition. In that regard, is this is a serious campaign? Or is it a shaggy-dog one?

I’m glad to see a contested Delegate election.

The role of the Delegate in TSP politics is fundamentally limited as specified under the Charter, but it is an important role nonetheless given the gameside powers bestowed upon the Delegate. Why should TSPers trust you with said powers?

I think you’re digging yourself into a deeper hole. You’re admitting that this is an unserious campaign with a flippant platform.

On another note, why should voters pick you over Griffindor?

10

First because griff has been delegate for a while and if he doesnt and not stepping down can cause opportunities for everyone else to be non possible also could cause faith in the process with voters becoming disinterested because griff will just win whats the point to look at everyone else.
New blood for the community could be good as the delegate new ideas could be help grow the culture and decisions of the community as a whole

Second griff is too radical, radicalism will make other groups radicalize cause radicalism to rise till civil war causing death and a divided public for example: turkey and the kurds turkey or its new name Türkiye is heavily against kurds. they denied Sweden access to nato for a little while do to them having kurd “terrorists” in their country. And them going out of their way to attack kurds despite agreements between them.

I will wait till griff posts his campaign to continue it as I plan to critique his policies lack there of

Your campaign should be enough to stand on its own regardless of who else is running.

12

How can you convince people who have little to no experience in TSP’s politics (like me) to vote for you over someone who has more experience like Griffindor?

well griffindor is WAY more expeirenced then me at politics BUT if you are not very experienced that means you joined the forums recently well I’m very active on the rmb and I will be addressing gameside problems with me as delegate directly also its not just about experience it can also be about passion something I like to think I have a lot of passion for not sleeping. Also the only duties that the delegate has in the government is rmb mod, advisor to forums, and appointing government members that need to have a spot in region however outside the government the delegate has to protect the region, be the face of the coalition, and something i see griff do (or atleast claims to do in a previous campaign) help out new nations to ns which i think is great and I will do that however like i said i am very active on the rmb meaning i will have a more active face in gameside activity so regulars like you will know who I am

14

Will you be doing public updates about there region on nationstates and the forums? Such as Griffindor’s Fortnightly Updates

yes I said it in the How? question area

I prefer the ministry of news idea as more people working like people could make sure there are not as many mistakes as mine would be however if that doesn’t pan out I will do fortnightly meetings

Is this campaign supposed to be a joke?
Can you actually state your plans instead of blabbing about irl politics?

19

I don’t think you’re taking this election as seriously as you should. If you wanted to make things “weird” you could’ve run for Craziest Person.

Do you even know what the Delegate does in our system and why they are important?

Yes it’s a advisor for the forums, protecting the region, promoting growth, being the face(which I think I would be great at do to my activity on our rmb and discord and somewhat active in the other pacifics and trr’s rmbs and the other pacifics discords somewhat) and head of state of the region, appoint officials, and RMB moderation

21

What does this mean?

What does this mean?

What does this mean?

22

1 advise the pm and their government on matters of the state like legislation, cabinet picks(maybe I dont know if this is true I’m just assuming) etc

2 by trying to get more people to endorse the coral guard and yourself I will do this by seeing who hasn’t endorsed me using coco on discord every other week or so and send them a telegram to ask

3 by helping out new nations and convincing them to stay and participate in the forums and discord also help more activity on the forums discord and RMB

Hey there! I am glad to see you running for a position! It is important to get people running for stuff!

That being said,

  1. What experience do you have that you think would give you an understanding of how to be the Delegate? Delegates in the South Pacific, by and large, do not exercise any powers beyond what the other regional organizations order them to. Will you abide by the Charter and laws of the Coalition when exercising your powers?

  2. Nearly all past Delegates were established members of the region before they became Delegate. If elected, you would be a historically young Delegate by regional standards. Do you think your relative youth in the region is an asset or a liability? Why do you think it is an asset/liability?

  3. Being the Delegate is the region’s top job and one of the last things many nations historically achieve (especially in recent years) before retiring or decreasing activity considerably. Will you be active during your entire potential Delegacy? What would be next after the Delegacy? If you happen to lose the election, what is your next step?

  4. You say that there are deep divisions between cake and pie lovers. Is the divide between these groups really that deep (given that we are pretty consensus-driven in the Assembly record)? Further, is introducing Steak to the regional dichotomy (rather than another dessert, say Cookies, Cobbler, or Candy) make you out of touch, a revolutionary, or a man ahead of his time?

I thank you for your time and I look forward to your responses!

Of course I already reread the charter and plan on reading the laws more

Liability, usually people look to their elders for leadership however I believe I would help because I’m not a established person in the forums but I am a established person in the RMB not in age but in posts my entire goal for my delegacy is making getting into the RMB and forums easier which needs to be done as I can count the number of people who are active on both the RMB and forums on one hand while yes some of it is time restraints because people are busy however when you are bored you could go to the RMB for five minutes then when you have time go into the forums

Yes that is also another reason why I’m going in so earlier it’s do to my activity we need an active delegate to be with the community. Not even 2 months ago I called you ebonhand do to your nation because you never talk to us on the RMB I plan on being active on all 3 sides of the coalition maybe even get into the rps

Another round of I feel like i didn’t do my job of increasing activity good enough or just go and maybe try out being pm or take a break depends on my mood about how my delegacy goes and my schedule in the next 6 months

Try and try again I will still be active in the RMB and discord maybe even forums (or atleast the hall of spam)

No but radicalism amongst the cakes and some pies has cause some intergroup conflict which should definitely be addressed as it is causing friction between the two groups which could cause political lines to become you have to choose a side and you have to hate the other side (however I don’t think it will get this far unless someone actually tries to censor a side)

I would go for revolutionary and man ahead of his time and the reason why I went with steak is due to the terms:
“steak outs” which is just stalking
“Stake” which were used to put people on
“The stakes have never been higher” which could be used to describe their threat and put them as they are gambling addicts
All in all the reason why I did steaks is that I used words similar to steak to say they are barbarians who out people on pikes stalk them hate dessert and are gambling addicts
