To be or not to be President ?
Shotan
Dear citizens, dear comrades,
It is for a long time I didn’t write something but when it comes the time to say something, time for an article and an important news: I’m running myself as candidate for the next Presidential elections!
Of course, I know what you will say: “Give up!” “No chance to win!” “No need!”. I understand your point of view, especially when the both biggest parties have their candidates too, but does that mean we don’t have the right to make a place with them?
This is our reason, members of the Democratic Socialist Party, to run: don’t let the situation as already done before it begins, let take part of it and show them you exist even if you are small! After all, big things are made with little ones, and we are all parts of a same country. Why should we not take part of its construction?
This is our main goal: make the society more active again!
But don’t take us as an opposition force or revolutionaries, we are a third part. No enemy, no friend, just a partner that wishes to improve our common project.
To the government, especially to Director9, we don’t wish to overthrow your work to make a new one from nothing. Our dear comrade, Thorin II Oakenshield, is a minister who is doing a good job. Don’t take us as a threat but as a new voice to listen, a new actor to improve our activity with new ideas and propositions but we can’t join you because we need to still exist as a third party.
To the opposition, especially to Killah Bee, a common front is not an option for the same reason I said previously. We are not a party who looks for the power at all cost and for a brutal change. There are good and bad ideas in every government, something we need to keep and other we need to improve or delete. We are a party that wishes to remain independent with our ideas but that doesn’t mean our door is closed forever.
To those who ask why I’m running despite the small chance to win, it is because the party made a choice. We decided to not stay spectators but to be actors in the future.
We have a community who need to be awaken, shaken, motivated. To be short, we need an active world with more active structure, more diversified activities (not only TWs or military programs) and my biggest wish is to make these elections the first step of the new active community.
Director9, Killah Bee, I launched my cards. If you want to play the game and join the table, do your job and let the show begins!
Sincerely,
Shotan,
Party President of Democratic Socialist Party

Always nice to see some activity, but you do realize the next president term will have to deal with the resource wars event? aka be fairly active to try and snatch decent production bonuses for the country. It falls mainly to the country president to press the right buttons at the right time.
If you feel up to the task go right ahead with your candidacy, but consider the time you'll be asked to invest during the coming month as you do so.

Also if you have any ideas for things you'd like to see done in the country, we're always listening and usually encourage all of them.
You can say that to Killah Bee because he has more chance to win than me. I'm aware this mandate will be harder with the event but it doesn't mean we will not replace experimented secretaries by partisan choices if I am elected, that I doubt according to the size of our parties.
I'm pleased we are not the only ones who look for new ideas. The most difficult part is the beginning but as we said, we are not opponent but a partner if you agree to work together.
I understand your point of view and thank you to warn me about the difficulty to be President.
Good luck Shotan. We are prepared to work together with the DSP dispide our differences... thats democracy. Ignoring other party's is indeed not the way to run a Government.
Thanks.Good luck too.
My vote is yours!
Thank you!
I am sure both D9 and Curly, and all those with some experience in running the country would help you in case you win. eBe is pretty much united right now when it comes to their citizens and it is anyway in everyone's best interest to have eBE prosper in the time to come - resource war which begins in a couple of days.
And of course, thanks for mentioning me. 🙂 I'm not doing any special job right now, I'm more like a moral support in the current government or some kind of a balance. I have a lot of experience in the game, so I guess that's why I am here.
Good luck, Shotan!
Indeed, it is in our common interest we remain united despite our different points of view. We helped the government to make what our country is now and we will always be present to improve it. That's why we count on the experience of every active citizen.
You are one of them thanks to your participation in the current government and you deserve to be honored.
Thanks for your support, we will do our best.
eBe most certainly has the most CP candidates now per eActive capita 😛
Good luck
At least, we have more motivated CP candidates than before. Thanks.
Motivated to do what? 🙂
