Very busy period - elections, RL rebellion.
« on: May 07, 2009, 06:19:57 PM »
I'm running for mayor of my town (my chances are slim but what the heck :) ) and with the elections a little over a week away (17th) the campaign is in full swing. I did a TV presentation yesterday, I'm setting up posters, distributing pamphlets constantly, I have a radio show on Sunday, a debate on Tuesday, a town market "meet the people" thing on Saturday.....

And atop all that our students (I teach at a uni) are in a country wide revolt, blockading classes and university buildings demanding free education (abolishing of tuition fees), which requires me to be in constant contact with uni staff as we have to be prepared to react to whatever happens as it happens.

Basically, I'm very limited with my time until the 17th and I've this big wedding to organize in Roesone, a potential rebellion as well (if I read the SR correctly  :P) and many players wanting to do diplomacy.

I'd be grateful if you guys would cut me some slack until this all blows over :)

That I'm not making this up you can see in my promo videos for the election  ;D

Hehe.. I'm agitating all right. We're handing out free coffee this Saturday :)

As for your second question, well, you can move but you have to be a citizen and resident for six months before you can vote.

You need to remind those students that even with Administration checks, someone's got to pay the Upkeep on that University!

Hmm, it shows what a difference having a clue of the language made, I saw the azure skies, golden beaches, luscious plant-life and thought it would make a great vacation spot (aside from the dearth of cuties in bikini's).  OK so the second video had a grotty youthclub and the odd rain cloud but I'm English, those just indicate verisimilitude  :D

Good luck Robert, if you get to be mayor, solve your colleague's problems by bringing back indentured servitude for the students that can't pay in cash...   ::)

Good luck man, just leave it to you dear wife to handle the problems until you have time. I'll talk to those grumpy nobles for you.

Now where did I put my sword... ;)

Robert I believe you and I better start speaking as soon as you have the time to do so once again. I'll make sure I have time to delve into any emails from you from May 17th.

Unfortunately I'll most likely be offline from noon May 22th to late evening May 24th  :o

So any stuff we are to do should be done between may 17th and May 21st

Thanks! :)

A note to all those who have sent me emails so far. I'll reply as soon as I can. With only 4 days till the elections its crazy over here.

I've been in a debate yesterday (and people say I've beaten everyone except the mayor), today we have a rally .... so you can imagine how draining all that is on time and willpower.

P.S. and no, I'm not deluding myself, I won't win, but we might do well enough to win enough seats in city halls to make a difference and to pave the way for my mayorial ascension 4 years from now  8)

And today I've had my first first hand experience with biased media....

The local papers manipulated the report from the debate to such a degree that I barely even figured (which I can understand since they chose to concentrate on the mayor and the top contender), but they left out the part where some of the candidates and I literally humiliated the "leader of the opposition" protecting him and making him appear.... smart.

Independent and unbiased media.... right.

You do know that if any of us tips the media to how you run your Barony here in RoE, there is no way you'll win the election right?

Picking up sleezy untrustworthy women, picking fights with mentally ill patients, having personal vendettas against competitors, showing signs of mental illness yourself, etc. etc. Tsk tsk...
