Firstly, I would like to thank @Dilber for the time and effort he has put into the region for his 14 months of delegacy. Dilber's reign has been the longest in the history of the West, and during it we saw numerous new initiatives that have benefited our region in multiple spheres of NationStates. I am thankful that he has chosen me as the next Delegate of the West, and am happy to announce that Dilber will continue to serve as a Guardian and advisor to our region. Talking about Guardians, I also have another announcement to make: @Saint Mark (Halo) will return to the team as well, so congratulations to both Dilber and Halo for their new positions! 

Here I will also announce some other major changes in our regional leadership. As @Fuentana has already led the Ministry of Foreign Affairs together with myself during Dilber's delegacy, I am pleased to announce that he will now assume the full duties of this position. Fuentana has done a great job so far in advancing this key part of the region, and I am confident that this will extend to my delegacy. Furthermore, @Fujai will return as the main editor of The Western Post after my leadership for most of 2021, and I believe our regional newspaper will continue to flourish just like when Fujai previously oversaw it.

Now, I would like to talk about some of my plans for the West Pacific. In the World Assembly, I wish to increase our activity both internally and externally. Internally, this means there will be campaigns to encourage not only endorsements for myself and the Guardians, but also cross-endorsing between the other WA member nations in our region, as this is often one of the first steps for new nations to get more involved in our community. Externally, I wish to continue our increasing presence in resolution authorship and interregional cooperation, especially in the Security Council, as our region has seen great progress in that area during 2021. Promoting this part of the game within the region and getting other people interested in writing resolutions is one of my goals.

In regards to Foreign Affairs, one of the big achievements of Dilber's delegacy was to greatly expand our Foreign Affairs horizons, and I wish to continue this legacy. A working relationship with another region means to actively collaborate with them in many ways; exchanging active ambassadors, holding cultural events, cooperating on World Assembly and military affairs, and many more. So this will be one of my key points to ensure that the West Pacific continues to have active ties with the current regions we have diplomatic relations with, as well as working on newer ones if opportunities arise. 

Meanwhile, our Hall of Nations has seen great reforms spearheaded by Dilber, especially on the field of transparency, and events such as government Q&As and community cabinet meetings will continue to happen under my delegacy. There will also be another election cycle taking place from January 10th to 19th to elect a Speaker and Guardian of the Hall of Nations for the next 3 months. 

Last but not least, the Regional Guides keep their mission to foster gameside involvement through welcoming new nations and hosting the daily Today in the West activities, while the Cultural Trust and its many communities will also continue promoting our culture to the entire region: Roleplay Community, Card Club, News Group, West Pacific Gaming, Fine Arts Society, and The West on The Waves have all achieved many things recently and deserve not only a spotlight, but also encouragement to reach even more goals.

On a closing note, as I highlight many of our recent regional achievements and outline future plans, I also leave my thanks to everyone that has contributed in any way to the region: the community is what turns the West Pacific into the Best Pacific. And for the residents looking to start their NationStates journey, I invite them to look at some of the great opportunities our region has to offer. I look forward to leading the West Pacific and its community, and I am open to any suggestions or ideas.

Giovanniland, Delegate of The West Pacific

We’ve become a force in the Security Council, with multiple passing resolutions even with attempts to stomp them. Our newspaper is the premier newspaper in NS, putting out quality content on-time for multiple years.  Our FA position is incredibly strong, with new friendships that have sprung up while old friendships remained solid.  Our military is strong and active, and is on an upwards trend.    We’ve come together to do so much:  We’ve raised hundreds of dollars for charity, won N-Day in the most convincing fashion ever, exterminated all the dang zombies, and have continued to be the strongest community in Nationstates. People in the past have referred to us as a retirement home, but when I look out at the newer players all I see is the future.  We have the best young bench of talent in Nationstates, and I don’t see that changing.

The last 14 months have been an interesting time for all of us, but I want to thank all of you for growing alongside me.  In the last 14 months, I’ve changed jobs, dealt with personal issues, and most importantly sold a child to other regions for Pope Hope cards.  While I have not completed my personal goal of owning every single pope hope card, I want to say that I appreciate our community always being there for each other, whether it be voice chats, game streams, or yelling at me about crabs.

And now, my time as delegate is over.  I slip back into the shadows of the mere Prime Minister-in-Exile-in-Residence, once again a poster child for democracy.  Gio is going to do an amazing job, and I hope he does so well people go “who was Dilber?” (but actually not that good because boy would I feel bad about that question).  Most importantly, this community will remain strong.  We’ve all been here for varying amounts of time, but gosh dangit we’re family.  Thank you all for making this a wonderful delegacy for me, and for supporting Gio in whatever the future holds.

There are too many of you for me to thank individually, so I’d just like to say this: You all are what made us great.  I could not have achieved everything we’ve done on my own.  You’ve filled in my weaknesses, and made us brilliant.  Keep it up, because it’s what we all deserve as a region. 

Have no fear, I’m not going anywhere. I’m not even sure I can get off my couch right now anyways

Dilber

P.S. The real reason I stepped down is so Vara can message OTHER people at 3 AM.  (He can still message me I guess though, he’s cool)

(Edited because ALON and Tera noticed the spelling error I put in to see who was reading it closely and they got the dilber's choice award for it)

Unfortunately, it turns out that we don't have any sort of treaties with the entity known as "Canada", and he has not been pardoned for his crimes of being delicious there.  Also, it turns out their petition date was like a month ago and I'm pretty sure his goose has been cooked.

Rest assured, your delegate is doing everything in his power to repatriate his delicious remains, preferably by about 4 PM today.

Dilber, Platypus Delegate of the West.

1. Shouldn't posting rights be granted to Peers to post in their Chambers? There's been no posts or discussions beyond the Delegate's Spring 2019 announcements as a result.

2. The Manners of The West Pacific state:

1. Quote

   The Chancellor of The Hall of Peers is appointed by The Delegate, serves at the Delegate’s pleasure and leads the actions of this Hall. The Chancellor also votes with the other peers.

    

Who is The Chancellor of The Hall of Peers? I'm not finding any appointment noted.

3. Is the current list of Peers up to date?

It just seems that the Peers will have a difficult time carrying out their Manners prescribed duties, should the need or desire arise, without a Chancellor or posting rights.

To get your ideas rolling, I've been thinking of having some polls here on the forum, linked from the WFE to get the opinion of the nations of the region.  Do you have ideas for polls such as this ?  For example, how about a poll to select your favorite national flag in the region ?  The winner gets posted on the WFE for a week.  Or instead of a poll, I could just select whatever flag I tickles my fancy.

Or a poll on our regional flag.

Or how about a 10th Anniversary recognition program.  NS regions that are celebrating their 10th anniversary that are allied to TWP get their regional flag flown in TWP on their 10th Anniversary....

So.....what do you want from your Delegate ?

While my personal opinion is that Rifty reaps what he sows, forum destruction is something that we have never and will never countenance.

I request that TWP considers naming Shadoke and any puppets he may have as persona non grata both on this forum and in the region.

Being Delegate of The West Pacific is an honor and a privilege. When Dave came to me to be Delegate, I was thrilled. I was looking forward to being able to do all the things and work toward keeping the region amazing.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to live up to my own expectations. The region deserves someone who can be consistently active and around. Due to RL things, I have not been able to give The West Pacific the time or energy it deserves to have from its delegate. I tried and kept telling myself that as soon as this thing or the other sorted out, that it’d be fine, but that hasn’t happened, and I can’t in good faith continue. I’ll be able to be around still, I’m not retiring or anything, just taking a step back.

Thankfully, The West Pacific is full of wonderful people. So, even though I must step away from the Delegacy, there is someone else ready, willing, and more than able to take on the role.

It is my great pleasure to announce that @Saint Mark will be the next delegate of The West Pacific. I am confident that he will do an amazing job. His passion for The West Pacific shows in everything he does, and his natural energy will give the region the boost it has been needing.

Please, join me in welcoming and congratulating Halo! <3

Ark hasn't been around lately, and FA needs a person. Badger is going to be the new FA Minister, working with the Deputy and Ambassadors to make sure things keep going smoothly.

Yay Badger!

Ladies, gentlemen, wild animals and creatures of all types,

Today is my 200th day as the Delegate of The West Pacific!  We are now the 3rd largest region in the game!  I want to thank you all for the privilege of serving the region in this role.  I appreciate each of you for your confidence in me!  Throughout my 200 days, I have worked hard to place TWP in the spotlight deserving of a region of this quality for all of the NSverse to look at and envy!

I have always said that the number one resource of The West Pacific is great creative, snarky, and hardworking people of the region.  I have been lucky enough to be surrounded by the best group of people a no0b Delegate could hope for.  I would like to thank the guardians for their assistance and guidance in assisting me in developing and establishing plans for the betterment of the region.  The seven of you have provided me with so much and without you TWP, nor I, could not be successful.  

I would like to thank the members of my NS family, House Rahl for their support, mentorship and guidance!  Contrary to the belief of some, they never have imposed or dictated business here, moreover respect and collegiality of this group as well as their experience is what makes their brilliance!  Rather they have empowered me with the knowledge and confidence to be a Delegate and lead the region.  Without the people around me, whether it be the former Delegates and Guardians of TWP or House Rahl this job would not be nearly as much fun nor would TWP be the shining star and leader in the NSverse!

On a personal note, I would like to welcome my NS bride-to-be to the region @bellahtrix!  She goes by the name Rigel on our forum and discord server.  She has been a member of KGB and Exodus before joining us here in TWP.  We will be married on 4/28.  There will be more details in the forum.  I hope that you will all welcome her to the region!

When I first became Delegate I said that activity was going to be my first and foremost priority.  I am proud to say that our regional forum, discord server and RMB are brimming with activity.  Our foreign affairs, internal affairs, and military were three aspects I was going to focus on to help build activity.  Today each of these areas is having immense success.

Through a stroke of luck or genius, I was able to procure four of the best, hardest working NS’ers in the game to takeover these endeavors (@yuno_owl, @davelands, @doppio_giudici and @theparis)  and I am forever indebted to you for making me look good as the region swells with activity in all of her platforms.

Each of these ministers have worked their tails off for you the citizens of The West Pacific!  Our foreign affairs have become one of the largest webs of information and outreach in the NSverse under the guidance of @Davelands.  I am proud to say we have opened up new relationships and treaties with a number of regions including the relationship I am proudest of The Kingdom of Great Britain.   Meanwhile we have expanded relations and activities with old friends in regions like The Pacific and Osiris.  Furthermore, we have worked to diligently to provide stability and leadership in several organizations we belong in the GCR Sovereignty Accords and CAIN.

Our military has been bustling with activity ever since @yuno_owl came on board to provide her leadership.  Our numbers of soldiers are at an all-time high.  We are operating on nearly every update leading operations and providing support for our friends and allies.  The work she has done in recruiting and keep active this force is to be commended!  I am so proud of TWPAF, their capabilities and knowledge.  We will flex our muscle to set foreign affairs policy, protect our allies, or smite those who attempt to harm TWP!

Internal affairs is the ministry that I see the most work in because of the hustle and creativity of the co-ministers:  @doppio_giudici and @theparis.  We have always joked that TWP was the place for RP to die.  These two have done a tremendous job in changing that fact and developing opportunities for RP in discord and the forum.  They recruited players from other regions to help and play.  The newspaper continues to thrive and our newly developed TWP radio is expanding.  Our internal affairs went from one of the most forgotten about aspects of TWP to a healthy thriving and contributing member.

All of these things have made a mark in the greater NSverse for TWP!  We are gaining experienced members of NS from a multitude of regions that are coming here to be a part of our activity!  We are now 3rd most in the world in population!

I am excited about the work done here in the last 200 days.  However, I am more excited about our future. Looking forward to our next 200 days I am anxious to see our activity continue across the board as we build a better and stronger standing for TWP becoming the type of region that others look to for inspiration, leadership, and action!  I am looking forward to the work of The Hall of Nations as we work together to forge the future of The West Pacific!  

As I have said in the past, young nations I challenge you to make a difference in your region.  Join the Hall of Nations!  Join one of the ministries!  Veteran nations I challenge you to find a place where you can assist to make TWP the greatest, most powerful region in the game!

We have many exciting opportunities for nations looking to get involved in any aspect of the region.  Please TG the respective ministers to find out what you can do to help TWP achieve.

Together we can be Brilliant!  

tl:dr

The nation of Sisalarvia has been advised that he should not exceed the endorsement cap, currently set at 105.  Due to the obvious nature of this nation's attempt to make a run at the TWP Delegacy, this is his first and only warning.  Failure to abide by the published (WFE) Endorsement cap will result in banjection from the region.

As an addendum to this advisory, The Delegate and Guardians have also been aware of the nation The Escapee, who was approaching the endorsement cap.  The Delegate and I have both contacted him recently, and we note that he has stopped giving out endorsements while his own endorsement total has declined.  We greatly appreciate his understanding and cooperation in maintaining the security of the region.

Thank you for your attention,

TWP Security and Intel

HEADS UP!

Part one of the changes are now implemented. Players will see a shift in update order (as warned about earlier, though I intended to implement it sooner when I wrote that).

The update itself however is still running on the 'old' variance mechanism. Shifting that is part two, but first we need to run this new update order.

And for clarity: this new update order will stay with us for quite a while.

The thread on the NS Forum on this Change is here:

http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=259002

This change would see an estimated next update time displayed on each region's page. However, this time would only be an estimate, and there would be a "window of uncertainty" for the exact update time of the region.

The intention of this change is to:

•Reduce the barriers to involvement in raiding/defending by making information on update times publicly available to all.

•Have the estimated update time displayed on regions be the most accurate information a player can obtain on a region's possible update time, negating the need for other tools.

•Prevent split-second timing from being an absolute necessity for success.

Welcome Telegrams

Founders and WA Delegates with executive power can compose a telegram that will be automatically wired to new arrivals when they move to the West Pacific. (A "new arrival" is a nation that has no Regional Influence and hasn't received this telegram before.) This requires no telegram stamps.

Current Welcome Telegram: None.

Compose a Welcome Telegram for the West Pacific

So, what are your suggestions for our Welcome Telegram ? We have some discussion that occurred when Arch was managing a Welcome Script for us in Immigration here:

http://twp.nosync.org/forums/index.php?/topic/250-recruiting-the-script/

So that might serve to help. I'm of the opinion that it should be a short welcome with an invitation to our forums. Consider that this will be competing with the recruitment telegrams all new nations are recieving these days.

While I am sure certain aspects will be changed over time to accommodate the raider/defender uproar, it looks like this could be a good step towards setting up actual onsite government.  The tools seem to work fairly well and allow the Delegate nation to distribute authority as they see fit without the influence of an offsite government.

URA, you should resign and give the Delegacy to someone that doesn't make excuses about how busy they are all the time.

I could do more in 15 minutes a day than you've done the entire time you've been in the region, move out, go somewhere else. Quit.

I've been over the cap for a couple of weeks now, noticed that yet?

Probably not, I'm sure you had to polish your list of excuses.

Eli

Oh but go ahead, please make another claim about how unfit I am to rule. You did such a great job yourself so you must have some smashing tips on how I should be doing things.

This conversation, should you continue it, must continue in my office on the forums. Try it here and you will be suppressed/banned for making the RMB unpleasant." - URAP to BBD. September 20th 1:50 a.m., Korean Standard Time

In accordance to what Russo said, I took the liberty to create this thread where the old guard and the new can do whatever form of battle they wish.

Start!

Edit: Please make sure to censor your swear words, thank you very nice.

I'm sorry for all you guys have to deal with right now.

If we get to the root of the issue, it's pretty much my fault entirely. I knew things were going bad. We all did. but instead of completing a plan and communicating it to you guys and the guardians, I let myself be goaded into a quick reaction rather than a collected and calm action. And for that, I am very sorry.

Things are moving forward. The guardians and I are working with Elegarth to develop a proposal, and he'll show it to you and you can tell us if you like it. One thing is for certain- the voice is a part of that proposal.

I assume this is the correctest place to announce this.

I handed in my resignation to URA yesterday. The reason given for the dissolution of the voice was "inactivity," and I feel mostly responsible for that as FADA. However, I am not resigning out of guilt--rather, it is largely due to RL committments. Just as I have been busy lately and have not had time, I do not see an improvement in my schedule in the near future. Thus the dissmissal of the DAs and the dissolution of the voice, while not things I agree with ICly, came as a welcome break in workload. However, URA has unveiled his plan to put the guardians in control of many of the areas the DAs were before, and thus I would still have the same duties, just under a different title.

In order of decreasing importance, my RL committments, combined with one NS dissmissal and another job-description change, as well as disagreement with URA's new policies and his decision to dissolve the union (although I highly respect him, his opinions, and his decisions), all topped with a growing sense of self-questioning about whether or not TWP is reall the kind of political atmosphere I would like to be active in, have grouped together to cause me to resign. It has been a pleasure working with URA, Medio, Hariko, Elegarth, and Yy, and I'm going to miss being politically involved here.

I would probably join the rebellion BBD's trying to start myself, or try to influence URA, but in the interests of solidarity, and of course, my RL, I won't be.

Best of luck to everyone in the delegate's office as well as the voice.

Begging your pardon-

URA

I am so very grateful to the in-game community for allowing me the opportunity to lead this great region.  I'm grateful to the off-site community for thier continued spirit of cooperation and good will.  TWP is unique in this aspect of it's culture.  We acknowledge, accept and encourage both sides of Gameplay and through this we have grown an unprecedented interdependence and cooperation that is based on the free will of each individual.  Now that we have mastered this part of our nature, I propose we expand on this.

As a Game Created Region designed to host the birthing of nations, we have an obligation to those nations to help them learn the many aspects of the NSverse.  I propose that we become represented in more than military and political Gameplay.  We need to reach some understanding of the in-game forum community, of the many faceted RP forums and regions, of the WA and SC forums,The Generalites and the many many sub genres of each area of the NSverse.  This may sound difficult and complex, but it is in fact simple.  We may not be able to become experts ourselves, but what we can do is invite others to come and teach us about themselves through simple interaction.

I have made the first steps toward this goal by inviting our own prolific Generalite, Fearless to become a regional Guardian.  It is my hope that he will be able to teach us a bit about his favorite activities in the NSverse and perhaps a few brave souls will join him occasionally. 

In addition I have asked Huangshi to become our regional Scribe in order to document our traditions as well as help us communicate to the wider NSverse.  I expect Huangshi to work closely with the Foreign Affairs department on regional updates.  I'm certain both new appointments will prove to be both useful and fun.

I am also going to ask for a closer relationship between the off-site community and the in-game community.  In order to foster new nations we will need a mechanism to draw them from the game into the off site.  This is simply a matter of practicallity.  Max and [violet] are toiling to give the game more features, but the sheer volume of information and people will necessitate a means of storing and organizing all of that.  In the days to come, I will be spending much time with the HGA on the task of system building.  We aren't much for legislating in TWP, but we can build the system without a bunch of fancy leagaleze. 

Lastly, I wish to affirm that, while I am here making these plans, it is not in my power to do any of this alone.  The cooperation and support of the off site community is essential.  I am asking that you put your heads together and come up with a person to represent you as a Prime Minister or <insert title> to head your government.  It is not my place as delegate to impose my will on this community.  Please give me some feed back about how you would like to choose that person and whom you might have in mind for such a task.

The important stuff:

TWP will remain anti-marsupial but tolerant of other strange ideologies.

TWP will continue to honor all treaties and agreements entered into under my predecessors.

TWP will continue to observe Karaoke Fridays.

TWP has better chocolate than any other region in the NSverse and our coffee aint bad either.

TWP will continue to staunchly support every nation's right to play the game the way they wish and every region's duty to protect those rights by any means.

TWP has two rules: #1 All your chocolate belongs to Darkesia.  #2 Don't be a dick.

Again, please accept my deep gratitude.  Thank you, TWP.

Now, let's party!

Just a clarification for any ambassadors or new people.

• Seconds ago: Wickedly evil people ejected The Republic of Sexybeastila from The West Pacific.
• 6 minutes ago: Wickedly evil people ejected The Republic of BLACKP3OPL3 from The West Pacific.
• 6 minutes ago: Wickedly evil people ejected The Empire of Mechomia from The West Pacific.
• 7 minutes ago: Wickedly evil people ejected The Dictatorship of Mark Estates from The West Pacific.

I'm just not understanding it.

In answer to the question of the day on the RMB:

TWP and the NPO have agreed on many things over the years and as a result we have grown close to them and become allies. We agree that the seated Delegate in any region is the legal ruling authority in that region. No matter how that delegate gained the seat and chooses to keep it, once in the seat, TWP, like the NPO, recognizes the in-game authority of the seated Delegate. We do not agree that the Delegate should also rule over the forum communty, however. TWP sees the forum community as it's own viable entity and the home of it's culture over which the Delegate has no direct authority unless specifically granted by the forum community.

The Pacific and the PRP/NPO were the first to realize that the culture of a region is as important, if not more important than it's military might. They actively pursued a forum based culture that, at the direction of the Delegate, became the political and cultural juggernaut that can still be seen today. TWP agrees that the culture of a region is it's strength. While TWP has more of a cooperative relationship between it's forum community and the in-game community, we still hold that our culture is what makes us unique and a desirable place to live, work and visit.

The NPO has a very high opinion of it's culture, as it should. All regions should have an identity they hold dear and a culture that makes it's members feel welcomed and excited to log in every day. The problem is that the NPO has begun to believe it's culture is best for every region. This makes me increasingly more uncomfortable as time goes by.

Years ago, the NPO exported it's culture and it's reach to another game universe. I admit I was part of that expansion and I gleefully took part in building that part of the NPO Empire. Right up until I noticed that the divided attention of it's single head of state was sucking the life out of the region I called home at the time, The Pacific. I left the region under less than happy circumstances (Ask me about that another time). And here we have something happening in Lazarus that makes me dread the future for the region. Their culture has been crushed and they are being homogenized into the NPO's forums. There is no longer a forum community for Lazarus. Nothing to balance the in-game power of the Delegate. There is the silence of a delegate who does not partake in their culture and the shouting of a few in-game players who can barely be heard above the NPO cultural propaganda. This makes me more than uncomfortable. It makes me sad.

I don't care who sits in the Delegate's chair in Lazarus, that is an in-game function. I do care immensely that the culture that made Lazarus home to many has vanished and been subverted into something wholly un-Lazarean(?). The in-game construct is there, but there is no soul. It's culturally dead.

This "NScultural Imperialism" is where I must step clearly away from the NPO. I can no longer feel assured that any region which comes under it's influence will survive. I cannot in good conscience stay silent and risk having people belive I am ok with it. TWP's culture is what makes us strong and that culture will not be destroyed. Our forum Community is where TWP "lives" and we can't let that Community be crushed out of existence so that the NPO may satisfy it's need to push it's own culture down everyone elses throat.

Every region has a right to it's own culture. The NPO took that away from Lazarus. That is what makes me uncomfortable with the NPO's move in Lazarus.

Thought I'd start a discussion about it. Would anyone be willing to take the WA by the horns and post resolutions at vote, and do other WA things if they wanted?

STATEMENT ON the Ejection of Pestarzt the Traveller

An Apology, A Clarification of Cause, A Defense of the Party's Integrity, and an Action Plan for Endorsement Cap Compliance

Good day,
 
Tonight, the Hippocratic Oafs of Pestrarzt the Traveller was ejected from The West Pacific for violating the endorsement cap. A ban was not imposed and Pestarzt was able to return before losing his endorsements and updating. During these events, concerns of distrust for Pestarzt's intentions and respect for regional law were raised. Fortunately, Pestarzt and Delegate Darkesia found a way to avoid having to have his endorsements wiped. The agreed-upon conditions called for Pestarzt to send out telegrams requesting nations to unendorse him and to demonstrate unquestionable committment to compliance with regional law.

Following through on his promise, Pestarzt unendorsed over 200 nations within the hour between the conversation and Sunday morning's update, and began distributing telegrams requesting nations to unendorse his nation. The Revolutionary Party reaffirms its steadfast committment towards pursuing significant cultural upheavel within the boundaries provided by both the game and the law of The West Pacific. The Party regrets that doubt or distrust may have been sowed by what was simply an accident; in a previous life, Pestarzt lived in a sinker region, and was accustomed to a drastically lower response rate for endorsement-swapping. Pestarzt miscalculated that he would plateau at 70 endorsements if he endorsed the number of nations he did. With this said, one nation also raised the incorrect assertion that Pestarzt assumed that he deserved exception from the regional law. The General-Secretary personally does not believe in exceptionalism nor leniency in regards to regional security protocols. Ejecting Pestarzt was both justified and right.

The Party apologies for this incident and provides its greatest assurances that it stands by its original mission statement and plan. Pestarzt will pursue the most influence possibly within the boundaries of the law. The Revolution will not give an inch when it comes to its policy, but neither will it steal an inch it hasn't been allowed by the Delegate. We hope that it is clear that Pestarzt's intentions are not to be doubted and that he respects the law of the West Pacific. The following action plan regarding Pestarzt's endorsement count is self-imposed as of this announcement:

1. Come next update, Pestarzt will telegram more nations if he has yet to comply with the endorsement cap. If more nations have endorsed Pestarzt, and he has reached 75 endorsements, he will immediately send a mass telegram to 40% of his endorsers requesting that they withdraw their endorsements. If he has exceeded 75 endorsements, he will leave the region for update.
2. If Pestarzt is still not able to reach 70 endorsements by next major update, he will clear his endorsements.

We hope that this is acceptable to the Delegate. Pestarzt currently possesses 72 endorsements. The Revolutionary Party understands that this is still a violation of the endorsement cap, and will not protest if it Pestarzt is ejected for a second time, without an opportunity to pursue the above described action plan. We would appreciate the privilege - not the right - of not having to re-tart, of course.

Thank you.

Regards,
 

Secretary of the General-Secretary
