Welcome back to "late night with gessho".

Tonight, I'm announcing my candidacy for the congressional seat in South Dakota. I'm running as a Libertarian, so come on out to vote for me!



I'll provide 2 Q2 moving tickets and 2 Q3 food to make up for your wellness loss to anyone willing to move to South Dakota to vote for me. Please send me a message before the election so that I can coordinate my inventory.

Now, for my qualifications.

1. Current eUS ambassador to eChile
2. Sergeant in the eUS military - Training Corps 301st Platoon "Black Knights", where I am one of the top 50 recruits
3. Member of the Community Development Program
4. General manager of two companies: SamuraiSwords, Inc. and Karnataka Airlines

Other skills:

1. Fluent Spanish-speaker
2. In RL, I am a military meteorologist, so I can predict the weather
3. I'm p cool

I understand that I won't be able to change the country in a month. I learn quickly, and I read as much as possible, so I won't go running my mouth without researching what I am talking about.

The issues:

1. Citizenship requests are one of the most high-profile issues seen in the eUS today. After the recent SNAFU's with GlaDOS, Zoli, etc., I especially want to get involved with researching citizenship requests on Astra Kat G's team (or whoever will be taking over for Max Mcfarland 2).

2. After high-profile military funding cuts, and an ongoing spirited discussion on the eUS forum about a fictional military PTO, I want to help to provide a voice of moderation in congressional discussions. I also want to be able to argue for all the funding the military can get, as well as to expand the pay-to-train eligible soldiers program. We all know that PENIX and the Huns are doing it, so we should be increasing out tanking abilities as well.

3. The grumblings in the eUS press about our EDEN brothers have got it wrong. The bottom line is, we need them, and they need us. The Brolliance and EDEN keep our shores safe from PENIX, and it's best that way. I want to work to educate eAmericans of what it means to be a citizen of EDEN, as well as a citizen of the eUS. Hail, EDEN, hail Brolliance!

4. Wastelander support and noob retention have been and will forever continue to be a problem. We will never have very good retention if we don't get our newest babies interested. That means making sure all of the fantastic support we have in place gets to the noobs, and making sure that they make friends so that they will want to stay. If elected, I hope to work to bring the mentor program from the voluntary stage to having as many noobs assigned a mentor as possible, until the noob decides he no longer wants the help.

5. Finally, the lulz problem. They're missing, and we need to figure out something to do. Granting enemies citizenship was the wrong way to do it; SEES is a good start, but we could be expanding all of this further. I hope to work to institutionalize trolling in PENIX/Hun media.

Vote Gessho in March for South Dakota!
