I understand the first part (if you quick to react), but i think it is not worth it. Patience and toleration is really needed more. Most of this candidated are young, thoughtless and unsightly, but some of them can help for example. Use it. If the community is tenacious and behind you, then who cares the irreverents and selfstyled? Dont be pissed up!
The second part: "wish i'd never nominated myself in the first place!" I dont understand? What does it mean? It seems the community trust in you.
You dont have spare time. (This is an argument. High ball, i must strike it.) I hope that not the captn alone, but your community will make the national team, and the captn will have so many helper as it possible. That would be my first target if i were the captn. If you will be the captn, you should get this, and no problem anymore that you dont have spare time.
You give me a weapon in the election with this spare time, and i defend you. Its a reverse, or not?
Be positive! You have friends, small, but strong community, an own league and an own national team (and a stupid foreigner, who dont understand, why are your players attributes secret.) What do you want anymore?
