[ESO] The Party President Primary: Discussion

Day 2,332, 03:27 Published in United Kingdom France by Hell The Great


As I mentioned last time we're running a primary this month. This is where we decide before election day, who we as a party should support.

We normally do this for Congressional elections (if we are running with another party), and for Presidential elections (so we can as a party try to find a common ground that we're all comfortable with). However for Party Presidential elections, we always let the game itself serve as the be all and end all poll. These days, however, it has become clear that we cannot trust some elements within the UK right now, and also ourselves.

So, this month we have two choices (everyone else is way too late! run next month) for your consideration.

miniman7 has been in ESO for a while, and promises cross his heart and hope to die that he won't be as awful as Sarah. He wants to ensure GWU is rolled out as soon as possible, recruit and have some fun, but the main summary I would take from his article (which you can read using the link above) is quite simple - he won't be as awful as Sarah.

Ash Brandon is also running. Ash will first restore the original name and description back to what it was, and implement recruitment drives. Ash also wants to revert to the use of the offsite forum, using it as a compliment to the game itself. He has also outlined who he would like to fill the supporting roles, and has an almost impeccable choice of Vice Party Presidents.





Suffice to say, I delayed the beginning of this because candidates couldn't get their articles out in time. Thus, I propose the following;

- 2 Days discussion (from the posting of this article, which is roughly 03:30 erep time 9th April)
- 1 Day for candidates to write a further article/response to the discussion
- 1 Day of voting

This would mean our discussion ends on April 11th, 03:30 erep time. Our candidates would have until April 12th, 03:30 to publish or publicise their response(s) (however they see fit), and we would have a vote organised from April 12th 03:30 until April 13th 03:30. This would then give the losing candidates 45 hours to remove their candidacy for the good of the party, and for us to ensure we're all supporting the person who won our primary.


To save on time, and of course ensure there is no duplication of effort in posting opinions/etc all over the place, THIS ARTICLE will serve as the base for discussion; post your comments on the candidates in the comments section, and we can hopefully get a debate going. Good luck to both candidates, to stay impartial as I'm running the primary, I won't be posting what I myself think (which is as always, vote jamesw).
