Pre-Election Update, Analysis, and Endorsement - Second Edition
Yonai Keiko
The elections for Congress are tomorrow and though some might argue that we have more important things to think about, we can never give anything but the utmost attention to the future leaders of our nation. Thus, I've once again compiled a list of the congressional candidates for the various regions of our lovely nation. I do hope you find this compilation of information, as well as my thoughts on the candidates, helpful in making your decision on the 25th.
Chungcheongbuk-do
Parkpcs313 (SGA) - No Presentation
Grease (SGA) - No Presentation
Hristijan Cvetanovski (KPP) - No Presentation
Krale Marko (KPP) - No Presentation
TroyTrojansCoach (KIP) - Presenation
chaosncosmos (SPeSK) - No Presentation
JaFe (RCP) - Presentation
I Love Purplekiwi (RCP) - No Presentation
Athasnim (RCP) - No Presentation
The RCP has quite the strong showing in this region with the Party President and currently the #2 Battle Hero in Gyeongsangbuk-do, JaFe, and two other members are running for election. In addition, we have former President Grease running under the SGA. The election here is rather dissapointing compared to last month's crowded candidature, but still, this will be an election to keep an eye on. My endorsement here would have to go to Grease. He's proven his activity and his knowledge of in-game mechanics, and I trust him greatly. I would endorse my Party President, JaFe, but as he intends on running for President, I'd rather my endorsement go to someone who will most definitely be keeping their seat for the entire term.
Chungcheongnam-do
Royalexe (KPP) - Presentation
Toni the Macedonian (KPP) - No Presentation
Kpakep4e (KPP) - No Presentation
William Choi (KIP) -No Presentation
Klopoyaur (KIP) - No Presentation
Samll race here in Chungcheongnam-do, only five candidates. I don't really have much of an endorsement here, but I would suggest voting the non-Macedonians into office first. I have nothing against the Macedonians, mind you, they've been excellent members of our community these past few months, and I'm friends with quite a few of them. However, they'll likely be going halfway through the term when eMacedonia is created, and I'd rather have full-term congress members.
Gangwon-do
Szkudlar (SGA) - No Presentation
Kole of Lerin (KPP) - No Presentation
Aspadora (KPP) - Presentation
xafania (KIP) - No Presentation
There's no competition here. However, just for the sake of endorsing someone, I'd have to say Aspadora would get my vote here. He's been extrtemely active and has been making quite a lot of effort to communicate with the English and Korean speaking parts of the community. I'm proud to call him my friend, and he really deserves a spot in Congress.
Gyeonggi-do
Torendo (SGA) - No Presentation
KruserMK (KPP) - No Presentation
Georgioski Igor (KPP) - No Presentation
Jackdaknife (KIP) - No Presentation
Resista2009 (SPeSK) - No Presentation
mihgabcri (SPeSK) - No Presentation
Jackdaknife gets my endorsement here in Gyeonggi-do. He was active in the past and has been a reliable congressman the past few months. Dissapointing showing here in Gyeonggi-do, only six candidates in the nation's second largest region.
Gyeongsangbuk-do
Grzegm (SGA) - No Presentation
LolACitizenMKD (KPP) - Presentation
NoMoreHugs (KPP) - No Presentation
Demigod_mk (KPP) - No Presentation
Alexander Macedon (KPP) - No Presentation
Interesetingly enough, the KPP couldn't run all of their candidates for this region! They had five candidates here and could only choose four for the one region. I would encourage you to vote for the KPP candidates as Grzegm has far too many Polish friends for my liking.
Gyeongsangnam-do
Grapox (SGA) - No Presentation
Martin Tashkoski (KPP) - No Presentation
Cyril of Macedon (KPP) - No Presentation
just-me (SPeSK) - No Presentation
rythemdj (SpeSK) - No Presentation
Yet another small race in a small region. My endorsement here goes to rythemdj. He was very willing last election to help out the nation in blocking toxic elements from Congress, and I did actually vote for him then. He's active, consistently present on IRC, and is a great asset to the community.
Jeju
Kreussen (SGA) - No Presentation
Killdo (SGA) - No Presentation
NSCyn (SGA) - No Presentation
ManuR (KIP) - No Presentation
Xael (SPeSK) - No Presentation
Dan/naD Wilshire (RCP) - No Presentation
Yonai Keiko (RCP) - Presentation
Jeju has seen a rush of activity as of late. There are as many candidates here in Jeju as there are in our largest region. Must be the wave of immigration coming in to the island recently. Incidentally, I have put my name of the ballot to represent my beautiful island home. I've been in eSouth Korea for forever and a day, and I've represented Gyeongsangnam-do twice in the earlier months of Post-Liberation eSouth Korea. I also served Jeju in the eJapanese Congress before me and the administration got into a little argument and I left for eAustria. I'd like to think I'm a qualified candidate, so I hope no one my actions vain when I endorse myself here in Jeju.
Jeollabuk-do
Nekromanger (SGA) - No Presentation
Sir Billy (KPP) - No Presentation
Patriotche (KPP) - No Presentation
Daniele-Nika (KPP) - No Presentation
Stefanzor (KIP) - Presentation
MirceaDrac (KIP) - Presentation
Jerkwaterbox (SPeSK) - No Presentation
Not much of an opinion here. Vote against Nekromanger and his silent gold-hunter behavior. Lot's of competition for a region with 30 inhabitants...
Jeollanam-do
Pungrang (SGA) - No Presentation
MakedonecMKD (KPP) - No Presentation
Macedonian_Lion (KPP) - No Presentation
Spase_Pekaro (KPP) - No Presentation
Paxcore (KIP) - No Presentation
Quans (KIP) - No Presentation
Adicu (SPeSK) - No Presentation
Fifteen inhabitants and seven candidates? Interesting. I guess I'd suggest voting for Pungrang for his Korean-ness?
Now here's a few statistics about the elections so far! Because everyone just adores statistics.
Party / No. of Candidates / Percentage of Total Candidates / No. of Members / Percentage of Total Members
Sin-gan Association / 11 / 20.00% / 94 / 43.32%
Korean Patriots Party / 21 / 38.18% / 53 / 24.42%
Korean Independence Party / 10 / 18.18% / 31 / 14.29%
Socialist Party of eSouth Korea / 8 / 14.55% / 25 / 11.52%
Revolutionary Counterweight Party / 5 / 9.09% / 14 / 06.45%
Total / 55 / 100.00% / 217 / 100.00%

Good one!
Monitoring the elections is always highly positive thing to do.
voted
Terrible set of candidates this month. Most of them are gold-diggers or Macedonians that will be sadly leaving us in less than a month.
I have to agree... sadly too few Koreans-in-heart will be running this elections.
I miss u Wladimir, I miss Veritas, I miss many old faces but I primarily miss the RL Koreans 🙁
Thank you very much for the endorsement. Although I haven't written a presentation and I do hate it when people don't write them, time has been flying so fast recently that I forget and before I know it its time for elections!
Anyway, thanks again and I won't let my country down.
Jackdaknife.
why did sin-gan association let polish run for congress from their party and not koreans?
Not enough Koreans candidating for Congress, unfortunately. Nothing could be done.
I wonder if anybody remembers you were President, or your efforts to free South Korea from Theocracy & Shaolinsim? Though we've had our differences, you surly deserve to be better recognized for what you have done for South Korea.
I myself have done a lot for North Korea, organizing elections against our oppressors, but nothing as far as what you accomplished. Only recently I've gotten into congress, looks like a longrun.
