Pre-Election Update, Analysis, and Endorsement - Second Edition

Day 1,039, 16:07 Published in South Korea France by 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?
