I told him I'd delete his account if he considers it.

I'll disown Cormac (again) if he runs for Pharaoh

I just joined. How's your activity here been of late?

I like you, of course.

I have to bring up the elephant in the room, and I'm doing this because I consider you a serious candidate with a real chance of winning, and one for whom I'm considering voting, so please don't take it personally:

While serving as Vice Delegate of The North Pacific, you failed to meet activity requirements and as a result you automatically abdicated that office, resulting in a special election. Osiris has no such automatic mechanism and has just come off a term of nearly complete inactivity. What are you going to do differently to ensure you don't fall as inactive here as you did in The North Pacific?

Honestly, I'm surprised this wasn't brought up sooner.

The abdication of my position was not due to activity requirements in the sense that I was doing nothing. I continued to sign into the forum daily, I continued to perform security checks on every single applicant that applied for RA membership and I continued to tart in line with the requirements of the Security Council as well as various other functions the Council required of me. What I did not do, was vote regularly in the RA, a condition of my vice delegacy which I had neglected. The requirement was not to miss four consecutive votes, the day I was ousted, two votes finished at the exact same time which I was not aware was at vote. Had only one finished I would have been prodded not to miss the next one, it was.... an unfortunate turn of events.

My time on NS will always be a juggle between RL and NS, I believe that is the case as most players age, I believe it reasonable to juggle both healthily. My goals for Osiris are not intricate, they do not require me (hopefully) to sacrifice much in terms of time. I will check in daily, I will conference regularly with those I need to, and ultimately I hope to bring some change to the region, for the better of course. Yes there will be the odd day or two I don't get on to the forum for whatever reason (I plan on going on holidays quite regularly this year and seeing the world a little).

If this is to stand against me, I'd rather be honest about it now and have the votes decide my fate.
