Bristel would like to say a word or two:

Day 1,111, 08:39 • Published in New Zealand Ireland • by Bristel Akina

Hello eKiwis of all stripes and shapes,

I am writing this column in the sincere hope that you are still playing the game.

These past few weeks have been fraught with arguments coming from all sides, and we've all taken our fare share of razzing, insults and veiled threats.

Let me tell you, I've done all of that in the last week, certainly.

What is important to me is my firm and unshakeable belief that Fionia is the hardest working player in eNew Zealand today, and I am honored to have been chosen to run beside her today for the office of Vice President.

Don KronosX is an extremely difficult political opponent to beat, and it would take a fair amount of miracles to beat him. But I will not give up.

There is nothing that anyone can do short of the illegal to get me to stop playing this game for eNew Zealand, continuing to run for office, affect policy, lead in the military, and help out any true eKiwi.

There is a lot of mudslinging, but I can easily wave that away and cut through the BS.

A message to you and everyone here, especially those who are not here to benefit our country:

I'm not giving up, so if people want to join me in an active role in this country, keeping the country busy and productive, all you have to do is show up, do your thing, and maybe come say hi in IRC or the forums... Any little extra amount of work and friendliness can make things better here in eNew Zealand... And those who can

Even if Fionia cannot be our shepherd this month, our flock will still be here.

If anyone is feeling left out or disenfranchised, please do not hesitate to comment here or PM me. I do not ignore those who need me, or need my help.

May we find eNew Zealand better every day,

KA MATE, KA MATE, KA ORA, KA ORA
