No, according to Google it’s rendered pork fat and grease. I caught you slacking, gotta cite your sources in NationStates.

You are assuming quite a bit.

First, nothing is guaranteed, and I can say it's pretty likely that there will be a vote.

Second, this stemmed from an offsite graphics redesign, so it is only natural that that was an exclusive offsite conversation. There is still no guarantee that TSP's flag will be changed, and the logo only really affects offsite stuff, so...

Third, could you please refrain from attacking much of the offsite part of TSP based on my single badly-phrased statement? Thank you.

Everyone, I have made some changes to my campaign dispatch and the updated version is at the bottom. Stay active on the RMB, I will announce if any more changes are made. Also, don’t hesitate to comment or telegram me if you want me to change anything for my campaign. I will listen. Get ready to vote for Trasterian for Local Councilor as well!

Attention nations of the South Pacific!

After an honorable nomination from Local Council Chair Purple Hyacinth, I’m happy to announce that I am running as a candidate for Local Councilor this year!

I want to give everyone a little bit of background on who I am as a nation and my strengths and weaknesses as a candidate.

First off, I have been playing NationStates for a just under a month and I joined the World Assembly and became a legislator early on.

Second, I’m running for local council because you deserve to have a candidate like me who will carry out the will of all nations. I don’t care if your nation is a dictatorship or a democracy, every nations’ voice will be heard if I am elected into the local council. In addition, I’m running for local council because I want every nation to have an enjoyable and fun gaming experience and so they feel comfortable with joking around every so often.

Third, I will be a good local councilor because I always keep an open mind and am willing to listen to the opinions of all nations and I know how to react appropriately to criticism.

Fourth, A weakness of mine is my minimal experience in regional government but I realize that everyone has to start from somewhere and having experience as an local councilor will make me a stronger player.

Fifth, I want to point out what the color of my nations’ flag represents below.

Black: A strong color that represents the power of unity.

Triangle towards the body of the flag: Represents the determination of my nation to succeed.

Yellow: Represents my creative solutions to problems as a nation.

Blue: Represents my reliability to follow through on duties as a nation.

My Zero Tolerance Policy For Trolls and Spammers

If I'm elected to the Local Council, I will recognize right to free speech for every nation in The South Pacific and will not prevent nations from expressing their opinions. However, trolling and spamming in NationStates takes the right to free speech too far and is totally unacceptable and can be considered a form of harassment when directed at other nations. I am committed to suppressing posts in the RMB that are spam or involve trolling and will notify the moderation team to take appropriate action when necessary.

Give yourself a pat on the back of you’ve read this far!

Just a reminder that round one of voting is from December 3rd through the 6th and round two is from December 6th trough the 9th. If you want more information about the election timeline, check out this dispatch:

Nice try! What are we, made of money?

Now pack up my crystal ware sets from the ancillary outer-office antechamber dining room in the LC offices. I want them back in the southern banquet gallery at my palace in Leningrad. Honestly, it's remarkable how many personal items I've put in the LC offices after so long in the position.

If you VOTE FOR Shangyuen - a true gamesider - he will make sure the gameside will have a say in all matters concerning the gameside.

Shangyuen will be your voice in discord and the forums without you needing to go through the tedious forum sign up process.

Shangyuen will also transform the LC into not just a ‘glorified moderation team’ but an actual government of the gameside. He sees the potential of the LC and he will explore it so we’ll all have a more fun and involved gameside. (See Shangyuen’s answer #6 to Purple’s interview)

No worries, I would never bad mouth Auphelia! How do you think I have managed to survive both of my terms serving with her? I'm not that stupid.

Much of the offsite TSP is not even a fraction of the actual TSP users. I've seen time and time again a handful of users build a castle for themselves and lord over the rest of us peons and I won't stand for it.

Shangyuen’s campaign is NOT Auphelia-centric, but will most definitely support Auphelian policies that have a positive effect on the community.

Shangyuen will be accountable to his constituents and the wider gameside community alone.

If you want a candidate that will hear you, fight for you in the LC, and is not afraid to bring up proposals to the LC just because he thought it won’t be supported by the other LCs, then VOTE FOR SHANGYUEN!
