The End?
How do you start an article about the exact opposite of what you want? I guess I can start by thanking everyone who worked with me this past month and everyone who worked against me in congress, only the best defy a leader...
It is hard for me to see another election go by where surprisingly I'm not included. Not much of a surprise but I've never before gone through one of these while I wanted to run so much. I really can't describe the feeling I get when I run for congress, I guess it is an adrenaline rush when you can't be sure of the outcome. But I consider myself lucky because I was found by voters in BC and chosen over many others. I didn't have to worry about asking for votes, at least not any more and I am very thankful for this.
This term as Speaker has taught me more than I could have ever learned about congress it has taught me allot more about leadership. I have always respected each and every Congress Member, but this month I realised that the Speaker has to make sacrifices for a better judgement. I have not once but three times come across a time in need of Speaker Ruling, and I've done so with regret. I regret having to stand higher in authority to surpass my fellow members of Congress but I do not think I'd have done it any differently had I the chance to do it again. It is a means of leadership, not the best part but a pivotal part.
The urge I had to place my candidature in congress was ever growing and I am thankful that I cannot do so any more. If you know me, you know I am very honest and I'd hate to disappoint my voters. That is why even though I'll be here for 2/3 of this term I am not running because it would not be fair to anyone. I can easily acknowledge that I am not and will probably never be one of the best Speakers of Congress but I hope to have another chance in the future, it is a role I have loved from start to end and I would trade nothing for the experience I have gained.
Lulz Proposals
This month I am sad to see that Lulz proposals have still been put forward. Last month as the number of these was outraging Congress had a huge discussion regarding this fact but even after that people have overruled our pleads and have gone through with lulz proposals. As I promised my Congress that I would put forward the names of those who have done so I will do now.

Even though there are still lulz proposals I am somewhat happy to see that the number is not as extreme as last month.
I guess not quite the End yet...
As Speaker I have 4 more days left, and so it is not quite the end yet. But it is the end of my Congress Member career (hopefully just for now).
eCanadian Remembrance Day
I'd ask that everyone vote up my latest article about the eCanadian Remembrance Day.

😉R: Read the Bulk of text, there's nothing to loose.
My readers, the few that have stuck by me, I am thankful for. The best part of being honest is that I can criticise myself. I know I'm not such a good writer and I bore you too much with details. But Thank you for sticking by my side.
Yours Truly,
frankypicoto.

It was great to have you as Speaker of the house and i admire your work frankypicoto.
But... Hey! that's not fair! >.<
I did read last month about the lulz proposal. They are not too bad, nothing changed. Everyone else participated too by voting >_>
Besides you never asked me to make any proposals. I was new to congress, so i wanted to know what it feels like to make a proposal >.<
I would comment and respond but for the following reasons I won't do so here:
1) I already responded to the "lulz proposals" issue on the forum.
2) You really aren't worth the effort.
I hope you get back to congress sooner rather than later Honourable Speaker.
muglack: Another human being is not worth the effort? The conceit is astonishing. Even in eRep.
It was an honour working with you frankypicoto, and I hope to do so again.

You've been a great speaker. You did bring the dose of leadership and discipline this Congress needed!
And Muglak, go buy yourself a sense of respect. This is not your mother-in-law you're talking to.
Attaboy Muglack.
You tell it like it is.
I thought we did away with Lulz proposals like 9 or 10 months ago?
I more than less know what you feel franky. I decided not to run for congress as well, because of the same reasons. I'll be absent of eRep for 3 weeks since the 10th of July. As you said, it'd be quite unfair to run despite knowing I'll serve only a half of the term.
You did a great job, let's hope we'll get back to congress soon 🙂.

Lulz proposals are good, congressmen can't fight overseas and get xp in those fights, why not let them propose HARMLESS proposals for xp at the end of the term?
Allow some fun eCanada!!!
2600 gold sure bought your eHusband a lot of fun, eh Franky? Too bad the other members of congress aren't allowed to enjoy any lulZ.
Next month I'm running for congress and there will be lulz.
Has your eHusband returned the 2600g he took from us?
Lulz proposals were banned because they got in the way of real business being done - I know because I was in Congress when they were banned and was at least partially responsible because I was able to provide a concrete example of what the effects could be. They also make Congress look venal and frankly ridiculous, although given some of the people who were elected yesterday you may have accomplished that without Lulz proposals.
