  • Founding member of the Versutian Federation
  • First ever and two-time Minister of Defense
  • Former Minister of Foreign Affairs
  • Creator of section 9 of the Constitution, the Government Positioning Act, and the Zombie Protocol Act
  • MoD during the great Zombie Apocalypse that ended with literally hundreds of new members in the region

     For those who have very short memories or simply weren't there, April 1st of 2013 was the Zombie Apocalypse April Fool's Prank. In it, zombies flooded through every nation and region, devastating everything in their path. Region after region fell to the undead wave, and refugees fled in droves. But the Versutian Federation stood strong. When the dust settled, we had not only coming in 11th for the most survivors in the entire world, but we had gained over 200 new members. The Versutian Federation was also nominated for a commendation in the WA that came close to passing. So what does this have to do with this campaign? Well, first of all, I was the Minister of Defense during that period, and not only ran regular sweeps to take care of exporters, but facilitated and checked refugee streams to ensure the region could stay healthy and strong while taking in refugees.
     But unbeknownst to many, Max Barry made an ominous suggestion that they could be returning every Halloween.. Not only that, but he mentions that they may be coming back stronger. With this in mind, ErasmoGnome is the clear choice for reelection during the dark times preceding and up to what could be a hypercharged Zombie Apocalypse. I not only helped lead the region through our first incredibly successful apocalypse, but also was the creator of the Zombie Protocol Act. I have not only past experience, but an intimate knowledge of both the event and the procedures that will govern our success.

     Changes are coming. If anyone hasn't checked out the changes proposed in the summit, I suggest you do, because many will radically affect the raiding and defending game. From annexing regions to displayed update times to even new SC proposals, the changes will be drastic and the game will change for even veteran players. We'll need a government that can cope with the rapid-fire changes that will be made not only to standards in raiding and defending, but how regions are run overall.
     These changes could be great - for the first time in many years, feeder regions and user created regions like us will be in the same situation not only in terms of influence, but also learning new military procedures and how this will affect gameplay. If we adapt and create our military based around these new rules instead of trying to change an existing military like everyone else will be doing, we have the potential to secure a major advantage in our military prowess. The President can assist and advice in our regional response to each change, not just in the military, as that is the job of the Minister of Defense, but also in the region as a whole. For the first time, Regional Officers will be created, as Ministers will be allowed to have actual ingame recognition and powers. We'll need to draft new legislation, adapt our constitution, and decide what powers will be relegated to what positions.

I propose, and will be implementing if elected, a de facto addition to the duties and responsibilities of the President of the Versutian Federation. These new duties will take the form of planning, organizing, and carrying out activities, events, and perhaps even holidays to make the Versutian Federation a more active and lively place, both on the forum and onsite. So here's a list of some of the ideas I've had - I'm always open to more suggestions.

  • Political roleplay - from future tech to modern wars - anything you guys want or suggest.

  • Founding Day - a holiday to celebrate the founding of the VF. We'll break open caskets of mead, discuss where we've come on the rmb, and shoot off some fireworks in the Factbook. For those interested, it would be on March 25th.

  • Factbook design contests - want to see your factbook design up on the VF World Factbook Entry for a week or so?

  • Regional map - put your country in our region for real! I'll design a map of land and you can choose a plot and figure out what your geography would be and who your neighbors are.

  • RMB topics - remember the Syria discussion? We could have a weekly, or daily, rmb topic based on current events in politics or anything else (Syria? Twerking? Obama? Your choice!)
         An example of the new WFE

  • Anything else that is suggested. I'm serious - make the suggestion, and I'll do my best to get it done. If it doesn't work, we'll accept it and move on, but maybe we'll stumble across something awesome!

     The crux of this campaign will be to redefine the presidency itself - to add life and vigor to a role that in the past has gone stagnant. I'll be doing all I can to make this presidency the one that sets not only the precedent, but the bar for future generations of leaders. I'll be doing all of the above, as well as helping the incumbent MoD in an unofficial capacity with the military, facilitating acts, and encouraging forum and regional involvement by all nations. So come election day, I ask for you to join me in redefining what it means to be President of the Versutian Federation.

If you have suggestions, questions, comments, concerns, kumquats, or just want to post your support, feel free.

Signed,

Seems very comprehensive.

Naturally in a public capacity I remain neutral, but I have taken on board all of the above.

I believe many of you, by now, have seen the result of case 00012013, regarding the time of the next Presidential election. For those of you who have not, the case and result can be viewed here: http://w11.zetaboards.com/versutian/topic/9158434/1/#new

The outcome, that the next election will be November 16th, is disheartening, as it means I will not be able to run for President during the time of the Zombie Apocalypse, nor will I be there for what will most likely be the start of many of the proposed changes. Additionally, the activities I had planned will have to wait far longer than I anticipated as well.

All the same, the overwhelming support I've received is very heartening, and I will be running for President come election day. I think the VF has made clear it's support for my Presidency, a statement I'll not forget. I'll find other ways to fill my time for the coming month, mostly through helping out Auriga, should he decide to run again, with the military.

I've drafted an Act that will both simplify and streamline the Presidential election process and allow an election to be placed with the rest of the elections for public positions, on October 2nd. If you support my campaign, please head on over here and give it a look. It'll be going to vote soon.
