Morning Edition
Day 1,225 of the New World
8 Candidates Compete for Commander Seat
As of this morning, 8 potential PoTi (?!) have made public their desire to pursue the highest office in eUSA.

The alphabetical list looks like this:
Emerick
George Pumpkinette
Henry Arundel
Laxsnor
Lefty from Mulberry St
Phoenix Quinn
Pizza the Hut
Professor Oak
Arundel on a Roll! Names Paul Proteus VEEP.
EMERICK SET TO ANNOUNCE RUNNING MATE!!! STAY TUNED!!!

Each of these has also confirmed their participation in 16 Shells : PoTUSian Posers a 6-part Series.

Starting with tomorrow's 16 Shells, you may read Candidates' responses to questions covering 6 categories. Each Candidates' answers will be printed along side of the others'.
Here is the schedule:

PLATFORM:
Candidates express their most pressing political opinions
POLITICS:
Candidates reveal how they'll deal with current events
POWER:
Candidates discuss how to utilize the office
PLURIBUS UNUM
Candidates discuss economy and access
PERSONAL LIFE:
Candidates appear as real human beings
PONTIFICATION:
Candidates Gone Wild!

It is my hope that by this series, you the erePublik, will be well informed about who deserves your vote. Voting by party endorsement is ok when you are not sure. But in this election, perhaps you will be voting for someone you actually know something about.


16 Shells thanks the Candidates for the time they have already put into answering my questions.

I hope that after each publication, you will find your way onto IRC, or into the eUSAforum, or at least tap out a PM, and follow up with the Candidates any clarification you feel is necessary. Where possible, 16 Shells will print information on how each Candidate may best be reached.

Advertising space has been made available during this special series of 16 Shells. Two spaces have been sold already. If you have a newspaper, militia, government program, political party, forum post, or any other agenda you wish to promote, I will advertise it in these pages. I've reduced the rates since realizing the wild error of my initial hopes. 16 Shells does not endorse any of our sponsors unless otherwise specified.

A message from our sponsor

I appreciate all the positive feedback I have been hearing from you. When I throw this much time into a pretend newspaper, it's nice to know that some pretend people pretend subscribe and pretend vote and pretend shout their impressions. Please accept my sincerest pretend thanks.

Oh, and one more thing. I want to link you to the following newspapers that are being written by good journalists. I don't link to poorly written stuff, to rehashed news, or to papers whose subscription rate is already mammoth. Check these out:

Positive Thinking because everyone needs a dose of dumb
Sky Rockets in Flight because this will soon be mandatory reading
Scoreboard Doesn't Lie because you need to know what else is happening

Keep Pluggin' them Shells
