This is just a quick posting to give everyone advance notice that I will be stepping down as delegate at the end of March.

When I took over as delegate, I did so simply to establish a government, get the region active again, and turn these boards into a community.

Thanks to the cooperation of everyone here, I think we have succeeded. There have been bumps along the way, but I feel comfortable that a workable framework has been established, and that a real community has been formed here.

However, I am also a believer in renewal. I look around at far too many other regions that stagnate under the leadership of the same delegate. I too, after being in power for just under two months, feel that stagnation is beginning to settle in here. I am out of fresh ideas and out of enthusiasm.

In order to ensure that someone new, with greater enthusiasm and energy than myself is running the show in Canada, I will leave Canada for a 24 hour period at the end of March, just as the election campaign for the April elections begins.

By leaving for a day, all my UN endorsements will be removed, and a new delegate will take my place.

Therefore, all those who wish to take over the delegacy should actively take steps to gain endorsements. Whoever has the most endorsements when I leave will become the new delegate.

For the record, I still plan on helping out in the region after I am no longer delegate, but will do it from afar, letting the new regime steer this region on their own course.

It has been an honour being the delegate and PM, and I look forward to finishing out my mandate in much the same way I have always fulfilled it.

Well said bweezy.

Look forward to talking with you as "Citizen bweezy."

Indeed. May you prosper in your new ventures, whatever they may be.

You will be missed...

Well Bweezy, you will indeed be missed, now the question is, who has the second most endorsements, does anyone know for sure?

Good luck in any new projects or endevorers you may engage in.

:o Bweezy why!?!?!

Well, we'll all miss you. Thank you for you leadership to this region thus far!

Why? two reasons. Firstly, my mandate is complete, and I'm out of ideas for the region. It is time for fresh ideas and a fresh leader to take over.

Secondly, in examining other regions, I have noticed that those regions with long-time delegates have stagnated. Their delgates dont' do their jobs as well as they should (not checking telegrams for instance), generally don't have any new direction, and have regions which are in a rut, with no new ideas or initiatives.

I think Canada deserves better than that. We have dozens of good nations in the region, each capable of doing great things here, each capable of charting a fresh and exciting direction for the region.

It would be wrong of me to stand in the way of that. So, I'm stepping down.

Don't worry though - I'll still be around. I just won't be PM, that's all.

So who does have the second largest amount of endorsements? Is there anyway we can find out....kind of like our own little primary

Checkers has approx 51 endorsements.

and I believe you come in third...

Sounds about right.

but but master...*wah* :(
