Statement

To my fellow TEPers,

As the delegate elections are coming upon us, I'd like to take this moment to let you know that I will not run in this Election. There's a saying that goes "You'll either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.".

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you that have been involved during my two terms as delegate. I definitely couldn't have achieved what I did without the help and aid of every single one of you. I'd like to say this much, if we have achieved anything during my terms, it was because I had the help and aid of you guys, and if there were mistakes, failures and shortcomings, they were entirely my fault. It is definitely a team effort and the saying that goes "It takes a whole village to raise a child" is true. I am very humbled by this experience and opportunity by having served as your delegate. It wasn't an easy journey, we overcame hurdles after hurdles and achieved milestones after milestones in a short period of time. I was the delegate to welcome the year 2020! Sincerely from the bottom of my heart, I'd like to thank all of you for seeing and making my vision for TEP turn to reality.

During the early stages of my delegacy, it was evident, after a post coup, that we needed to strengthen our region internally. By uniting the factions and groups existing in TEP into one big united family. The coupers held the region for a few years, holding various key governmental positions in all branches. It was no mean feat to undo all the damages they have done internally. Thankfully, we emerged victorious every single time! It is also my policy to eye for new talents within the region, to understand their strengths and weaknesses and promote them in the government. This policy has so far became very fruitful for the region as it inspired newcomers to participate and contribute more to the region.

During the later stages of my delegacy, after having strengthened the region internally, I began working into strengthening us externally. Through our military EPSA(East Pacific Sovereign Army) and our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. EPSA has never been more active and well trained than it ever has, at least for the past few years. We've forged new treaties with Balder, Osiris and 10000 Islands. At the same time, we began working on a vision I had earlier in my delegacy, to further strengthen the region externally and turn TEP into a powerhouse never to be messed with. This idea is later called "The Consortium". The Consortium's idea is basically to form a WA Bloc and Military partnership with various participating regions agreeing to work with TEP. Although this has yet to be formed and finalized, I hope the next delegate can further work on this and I personally view this as a necessary course of action for the region to take in order for us to become a powerhouse in NS.

There are still many more ideas that I have yet to fulfill within my terms as delegate. However, I do feel that it is time for a new face with fresh ideas for the region. TEP has never been more united than it ever was. The future of our region looks as bright as ever. Together, if we all do our part, we will be UNSTOPPABLE AND WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS EVERY SINGLE TIME!

Although I am no longer running as Delegate in this current election, it doesn't mean that I am leaving the region. I will still continue to aid the next delegate(if they require me to) and contribute to the region in many other ways. TEP is my forever NS home. Strength in unity! It's been a wild ride, thank you once again for believing in me. This is not goodbye, this is just the beginning!

When do you think people die? When they are shot through the heart by the bullet of a pistol? No. When they are ravaged by an incurable disease? No. When they drink a soup made from a poisonous mushroom!? No! It’s when… they are forgotten.

Best Regards, Marrabuk out
