I went out wandering around our virtual world today and it seems that our neighbor to the north will be getting a new delegate. I would like to announce that I will be resigning as your delegate at 8:00pm GMT on Thursday 15th April. You can read my resignation speech here : s2.invisionfree.com/The_North_Pacific/index.php?showtopic=1164 (copy and paste) *** Thanks to everyone, I've enjoyed it! There appear to be two candidates waiting in the wings; The Twoslit Experiment and Blackshear. From what I have gathered so far Twoslit is very hostile towards our region and Blackshear is a virtual unknown. I'll do some more research later on but if Blackshear were to become delegate could that portend a thawing of relations between our regions.

If I'm not mistaken Two slit is the former delegate of the North Pacific and Blackshear is rumored to be heavily involved with the organization "ADN"

Would El Caudillo, or the Viceroy, wish me to make contact with the two candidates for the NP succession, and attempt to gain a promise of neutrality?

Mr. Slit will never make peace I'd imagine, he's one of the most vehement anti's. Blackshear, if he is ADN, is most likely simialar, still, trying can only help.

Mmm... well, that's what people said before. But I did it in the East Pacific, and I can handle it in the North. They are, it seems, brutally opposed to... wait a second... I had, upon reading this topic, immediately gone to the North Pacific website.
Blackshear, or whatever his name is, had been openly flaunting a list of the alleged 'crimes' of our beloved Caudillo. I will attempt to track down the url. Perhaps it is time that... say, we send in someone to be a third wheel? In collusion with our allies? Someone we can trust, perhaps. Or maybe we can make our own proposal of peace. I am sure that having seen their allies desert them, one by one, they will see the side of reason.
Viva El Caudillo!

Im not sure what you mean. A third wheel as in a third candidate?
No doubt once it was made public Twoslit would make up a spurious charge, elimintating any fair competition.

I spent the night reading their forums (yeah, I have nothing better to do, especially when reading Maslows Hierarchys of Needs) and sending in a third party candidate wouldn't be an easy job. They seem to have this practice of "promoting from within" some people like to call that sort of thing an old boys club. They also want people to campaign for endorsements and be open with what they want to do for their region.
I totaly disagree with the first part but the second observation seems reasonable. Stealth candidates can do more harm than good.
There also seem to be some other "power" members in the region: Ananke & Magicality who could probably make a run for things too.
Ananke seems to be a workaholic and takes an active role in everything.
Magicality is more open and is more of a steward.
As far as peace and an openess to us I really don't know who I would pick.

I actually disagree with you, comrade. The second limitation is very vague (what is an "open" endorsement campaign?) and if they were a true democracy they would have no limitations on who candidates are.

Just because the Delegate is changing does not entail a change of government. If Poskrebyshev were your Delegate instead of Francos Spain, you would remain the NPO.
It is true that the NP limits Delegacy to "promoting from within", which is an entirely sensible measure.

The second limitation is very vague (what is an "open" endorsement campaign?) and if they were a true democracy they would have no limitations on who candidates are. I should have been more specific here, they feel that anyone who is seeking the delegacy should earn their endorsements rather than just trade for them. We have a means of keeping that under control in our Civil Code whereas the North Pacific doesn't even have a constitution yet! I wonder what would happen if the delegate did not like a challengers platform?

If I find another task for you Wabu, trust me, I shall let you know. I see the East Pacific has not yet formally recognized the NPO as legitimate Government of the Pacific. Should we not be encouraging this action?

Make no mistake: even if Blackshear is delegate, Twoslit will still be the most influencial resident of The North Pacific, assuming Blackshear does not declare a revolution and expell him and his underlings.
