I'm happy to! My platform was that I was working to resolve the inactivity crisis of the time [1]. It's less of a crisis now (though more offices than usual are still empty), partially because of my work. I sent the message I linked, and I've also taken on the duties of the Arbitor as I said I would. G. on the other hand resigned from all of eir offices, making the crisis worse. I'm not blaming em for needing time off, just suggesting that I'm currently the better candidate.
