Vice Delegate Report

Hello, TNP! It's been a bit since I last hosted this thing, but we have now reached the midterm point of this term. Looking back at the first half of it, I'm pleased to report that we haven't faced any external threats from our enemies, and the North Pacific itself has remained safe. This is great news, especially during a time of war. Moving forward, the Security Council and I will continue to protect the region as promised, and even add a cherry on top too. The last 2 weeks have been somewhat uneventful on the outside, although you should expect that to change in the near future with the introduction of my new intiatives!

The Endorsement Situation

Since it has been a while, I decided that I should give you all an update on how the WA endorsement levels of our region's top brass have changed since the last report from my desk on the 26th of February.

Delegate Kaschovia has started this period with 812 endorsements. That number only continued to increase during the week, which peaked on March 3rd, six days after the report on the 26th, at a total of 829 endorsements, which would have smashed the original endorsement goal of 820. Shortly afterward, the North Pacific Army was called away on a business trip, which caused our WA numbers to drop. By March 6th, Kaschovia once again had 812 endorsements, which is what we started the week with. His count had further dropped to 809 three days later. Following the return of our soldiers, Kaschovia rose back up to 819 endorsements, which ultamitely was a net gain of 7 endorsements and was a single endorsement away from meeting the goal. However, since the goal ended up being exceeded not long after the report, I will consider it to be met and will recognize the individuals who helped protect our region and endorsed Kaschovia recently later on in the report as that was the reward I promised.

As for myself, I experienced similar endorsement patterns to Kaschovia. At the time that the previous report had been published, I had 743 endorsements. Just like the Delegate, my levels peaked on the 3rd of March, at 751 endorsements, which was also the most I've had the entire term. After the NPA deployed, I experienced an even harsher drop, bottoming out at 732 endorsements on March 9th, which is a total decrease of 19, which most likely can be attributed to my cautious endorsement practices (which I explain the reason for here). From yesterday to today, my count has increased by a total of seven, which brought me up to 739 endorsements, which is a net decrease of 5. The gap between the Vice Delegate and Delegate at this moment is 80 endorsements, an increase of 11 endorsements from the last report.

At the moment, the closest Security Councilor to me is Great Bights Mum. She currently maintains an endorsement count of 718, which is 21 behind myself and 101 behind Delegate Kaschovia. Siwale is the only nation that is above a Security Councilor (Kranostav) at the moment. He is in 11th with 662 endorsements, while Kranostav, in last place in terms of Security Councilors, is nine behind him with 653 endorsements. Siwale has not been actively endotarting within the past week. Corfad currently has 577 endorsements and is in 12th place. He is 76 endorsements away from the closest Security Councilor. Currently, he has an endorsement gap of 162 and 242 endorsements from myself and Kaschovia respectively.

Last Week's Endorsement Rewards

This week I will be shooting for the next milestone - which is 820 endorsements.

I previously went into detail on how Kaschovia's endorsement count evolved throughout the last week. He managed to not only meet the goal but exceed it and jump up to 829 endorsements during the week following the report. While his levels have since decreased to a figure that is below the goal, I believe the hard work our residents do to protect our region should be rewarded with what I have promised. I would like to give a shoutout to the following nations who have endorsed Kaschovia in the past two weeks:

Weekly WA Endorsement Event

Delegate Kaschovia: Given the return of The North Pacific Army to the homeland, along with the rising levels of endorsements we've seen recently, I'm feeling pretty optimistic about setting an endorsement goal. We've shown that we can increase our Delegate's endorsements by ten, and I will ask that of our resident once more. This week's goal for Delegate Kaschovia is 830 endorsements. If this goal is met, I will give a copy of S3 Greater Cesnica to a random individual endorsing Kasch.

Vice Delegate Chipoli: Since the gap between myself and Kaschovia is only continuing to grow, I feel that this is a good time to bring back the endorsement goal for myself. This one will be a little more challenging, as I will remain cautious with my endotarting to preserve as much of the gap as possible. This week's goal is to get my nation back to the endorsement count before the WZT operation, which in other words, is around 750 endorsements. If this goal is met, I will give you all the opportunity to collaborate on the Security Council survey by adding your trivia questions to it.

Conclusion

While I didn't have much news or information to bring from our chambers, I hope you all enjoyed reading this report nonetheless and checking out what was going on with the status of our endorsement levels. I'm planning on releasing another endorsement update that will cover Monday through Friday and will check in on how the endorsement goals are moving along. As for the second half of the term, my goal is to implement all my platform initiatives. Planning has started on a few of them, and progress has been made slowly. However, there is still plenty of time to get them done, especially given the fact that my activity should increase once again. I'm hopeful that we will continue to build on the first half of the term to produce an even better second half. See you all next week!

Sincerely,
Chipoli
Vice Delegate of The North Pacific

Vice Delegate Report

Hello, TNP! This has been a rather quiet week in the chambers of the Security Council. It's been more of the same since the last report, but we have been able to be productive despite the relative tranquility at home. Let's take a look at what we have been up to this week.

Security Council Applications

The Security Council Applications of Gorundu and PotatoFarmers are now being voted on by our Regional Assembly. The voting period nearing its end, and the results will be released in a few days' time. Until then, we can only wait for the outcome of those two votes. By the next report, it could be very much possible that the SC will welcome a member or two to its ranks.

Last Week's Endorsement Rewards

Last week, I began to notice that the endorsement gap between myself and Kaschovia is not as wide as I would have liked it to be - which was forty-two endorsements. As a result, I set the following weekly endorsement goal as follows:

Chipoli wrote:

This week, the goal is to increase the gap between the Delegate and Vice Delegate by ten endorsements.

As I noted in the Midweek Endorsement Update, the gap has increased by five in the space of five days. That left two further days for the gap to increase. I have slowed down my endotarting to slow down my endorsement increase, while Kasch's will continue as normal. The gap is currently fifty-six endorsements, which is an increase of 9 from Friday's report. The gap was forty-two last week, meaning it has increased by 14 over the course of the week, and the endorsement goal has been achieved with a cherry on top. As a reward, you all can choose TNP's next poll by answering this Google form. The most popular idea (or my own favorite) will be made into a poll. The form will be up for 4 days.

Weekly WA Endorsement Goals

Delegate Kaschovia: Kasch has been great in regards to endotarting, and this week has produced results. Currently, Kasch's endorsement count stands at 796, an increase of nine from last week. This is very encouraging for our WA population, and I can already see a milestone approaching in the distance. It won't take long to get there - all you guys have to do is to pull through. This week's goal is to get Kaschovia to 800 endorsements.

Vice Delegate Chipoli: I will not be setting an endorsement goal for myself this week. The Delegate-Vice Delegate gap has grown quite nicely this week, and I don't want to encourage you all to do something that would offset all our hard work - this again is why I am merely returning endorsements for now. The only goal for you all this week is to endorse our Delegate. If you haven't already, do so now!

Platform Initiatives

I have been putting some time and thought into preparing my remaining platform initiatives - mainly the SC Survey and the completion of the SC Handbook. While I haven't discussed them with the Security Council yet, I will likely do so this week. I am trying to both take my time and ensure that my initiatives are released successfully and are well-thought-out, while at the same time attempting to complete them in a relatively timely manner. Expect more on this front in my next report.

Conclusion

Debate on the Security Council applications of Fregerson and Gorundu will likely continue for some time. I promised a Midweek Endorsement Report for the last couple of weeks, and I will draft one to be released, well, in the middle of the week. The relevant information will be updated as time goes on. I'll later report on the progress of my platform initiatives and the success of the weekly endorsement goal. We have already reached the quarter mark of the term, and hopefully, the next quarter will be even more productive than this one.

Sincerely,
Chipoli
Vice Delegate of The North Pacific
