A vote for Rhiney is a vote for egregious violations of separation of powers and disastrous attempts at 'change' that really don't bring about change in the political atmosphere of the region.

While I elaborated extensively on my plans to revitalize the regional government and cabinet last night, Rhiney has largely lectured on experience and age or lack thereof and generic transparency and change statements..

Obviously, prudent leadership defines them. That's their history.
Except when it comes to Jakobly...
Ulrech, Viridus, Gagium, Fluvannia, Mietkael, Emerisis
Just my opinion and I think a sentiment shared by others during the two presidential debates: Rhiney certainly provides a comprehensive platform, as he claims. But the issue lies in its quality. Other candidates--Gagium, especially--poked serious holes into every single policy proposed by Rhiney during arguments. And as a former WA Delegate, I found Rhiney's lack of knowledge and policies regarding relations with the LCN a bit concerning.
Rhiney may very well being change to this region. But I'm unsure as to whether those changes will benefit the Federation. I remain unconvinced that Rhiney can offer this region prudent leadership.
As to members of this region: It is certainly your right to vote, but it is also your duty to cast an informed vote. Before selecting a candidate, please take the time to look at the debate logs on Discord and read over election platforms.
Ulrech, Viridus, Gagium, Fluvannia, Emerisis
Revitalize? The Senate is at the highest membership weve ever had and is the most active its been in a year. And that was under Senate Speaker Ulrech
Ulrech, Gagium, Fluvannia, Ibenta, Mietkael, Emerisis
tips hat
Viridus, Gagium, Fluvannia, Ibenta, Mietkael, Emerisis
Let's note how inactive the Senate became upon the resignation of SPT New Inglaterra.
Gagium, New Inglaterra
Lets note election time began and one individual doesnt impact how active the Senate is...hence the reason I have never used Senate activity in my campaign as its difficult for someone to control and leads to unconstitutional legislation such as SAR that opened up a whole can of worms
Viridus, Gagium, Fluvannia, Ibenta, Emerisis
I agree. The fact that most of his policies were rendered useless doesn't really equate to a good president.
I don't have anything against Rhiney per se, but if most of his policies don't exist, or at least their presence is of little to no use, then I would recommend to all voters, vote on policy, not just "Oh yeah, he isn't in the Conservative Party".
Viridus, Gagium, Fluvannia, Ibenta, Emerisis
You must vote for Ulrech gagium brother
Ulrech, Furbish Islands, Viridus, Fluvannia, Ibenta, Emerisis
Anyone one else tired of identity politics?
Love to hear some other conservative opinions on this one!
New Waldensia, Viridus, Gagium, Emerisis
Alright y'all. Before I cast my vote. I need to understand the Issue with the LCN.
Viridus, Gagium, New Inglaterra, Emerisis
Essentially its another large conservative region we dont exactly get along with. However relations have warmed from non existent to we acknowledge their existence recently. Some are in favor of possibly approaching the LCN and developing better relations, while others dont approve and distrust the LCN.
Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis
Senate Membership and a boost in activity had nothing to do with Ulrech being Senate Speaker at the time. The Senate which had grown a little quiet under the Presidency of RCS.
By the time the next election had come about Senate Activity was pretty full on, due to an influx of new Senators mixing with older Senators pushing legislation through the Senate.
There were literally days were legislation was being produced and voted on faster than the Senate Speaker and his SPT could handle. If you want to thank people for making the Senate a whirlwind thank New Inglaterra, San Carlos Islands Holy Rhinish Islands New Waldensia, Furbish Islands and myself who produced the bulk of the bills. And to those others who created bills and for those who came into vote for them.
Appearing to thank 1 person, in this case Ulrech. Is like thanking Naomi Campbell for the dress she walked down the catwalk with. Disregarding the designer who was at the nucleus.

Vote Gagium for a more active, stronger, unified, and more fun FCN!
Make sure to do research on your candidates - Dont vote based off of their partisan affiliation or empty remarks solely.
Furbish Islands, Viridus, West Phoenicia, Dragons Of Power
Members of the FCN, put down the Kool Aid, you don't willingly have to drink the poison the CP is offering. Jim Jones was not the saviour and neither is the CP.
Under CP President RCS we had a tumbleweed Senate. Under CP President Furbish we had an Impeachment and unfilled cabinet and at times a back log of bills that took forever to sign which the Senate voted to pass. Now we have CP Ulrech at the helm of the CP Titanic.
And his steering is sloppy. The "policies are smoke and mirrors and a weaker policy platform than Furby and Gagium produced at the last election.
How many chances are you wanting to give for a CP to step up and make the FCN bloom.
Stop putting your hand on an oven hot plate which you haven't switched off and grumbling why you keep getting burnt.
VOTE THE ALTERNATIVE, BETTER THAN THE CONSERVATIVE!!!

Viridus, Dragonwings, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis
Youre not wrong, but to say that the same isnt going on for those voting for Rhiney without basic knowledge of his history in the FCN (Such as the time he was in the hall of shame and ragequitted the region for months after his songs got skipped on discord.) or due to vague talk about transparency while simultaneously advocating for an elected senate would be to tell only half the story.
Ulrechs campaign dispatch in itself has little substance to it, and New Waldensias political promises are vague and will likely not be reliably kept.
The race doesnt have to be against a CP member who has ventured little outside of the realm of corrupting politics and a NPP member with little substance who is receiving votes for being in the NPP. Vote for Gagium, the independent choice - The peoples choice..hopefully?

Also, the FCN shouldn't be a right wing echo chamber... This place doesn't have to be a safespace.
Liberated American Provinces, Furbish Islands, Gagium, Fluvannia, New Inglaterra, Mietkael, Emerisis, The Cot Corporation
This. Frankly as conservatives we should be comfortable defending our views against those who disagree. Outside of the laws banning extremists from our region everyone else is welcome, no?
Furbish Islands, Gagium, New Inglaterra, Emerisis, The Cot Corporation
If we were a safespace, I think youd have been forced out of the discord awhile ago haha..Ironically for reasons typically used by members of the American left.
What would a right wing safe space look like though? 🤔🤔
Furbish Islands, Viridus, New Inglaterra, Emerisis
I will in the second round, unless you make it in somehow
Ulrech, Gagium, West Phoenicia, Emerisis
I'm sure some of you are thinking. And yes I noticed a few WTF moments when Gagium announced I will be his running mate.
Are they mad? Are they making a joke of this election? Has the WA kidnapped both of them and substituted them with pod people.
The answer is no, on all three accounts.
Gagium and I have many, many many differences in regards to many things, ranging from politics to him refusing to add the letter 'U' to words like Colour, Honour.
However, we both agree 100% on keeping the FCN a great community , to be apart of. A place of politics, Roleplays, gaming etc. We both agree on the foundations of this region and keeping it strong and secure and we both support our Constitution.
You have the trust, the Constitution will be followed under our watch. You have the trust that both of us will work with the Senate in keeping the FCN great and stamp out corruption.
Working together with the Senate and the Courts to ensure if parts of the Constitution need to he altered to avoid loop holes, we will be a part of that process to keep the FCN great.
It's our common interests in the FCN that unite us! We are each others check and balance, both unanswerable to all the FCN. Representing all members of the FCN, not only those who vote for Gagium
I trust Gagium at the helm. If Gagium and I can put aside our differences for a stronger FCN, I'm sure you can too, by putting aside your indifference to him and vote for him.
We can't do it alone, we need all of YOU!
New Waldensia, Gagium
Mr. Phoenicia:
It is one thing to oppose and critique the actions and beliefs of your political opponents. It is quite another thing to insinuate that Ulrech and the rest of the CP membership are offering the people of this region "poison."
I have nothing against political commentary, and you are within your right to issue particularly nasty ones. But you ought to recognize that you are doing nothing but adding to the Federation's recent increase in partisanship whenever you engage in this kind of gaslighting rhetoric.
I urge you to offer more constructive opinions, rather than simply demonize your enemies as the hapless sailors of a figurative Titanic. The exaggerations get old very quickly.

You chose me because I have promised to bring new spirit and needed reform to the Senate.
Now you must do the same and choose Rhinish Islands for President to bring new spirit and reform to the Presidency!
Vote Rhinish Islands! For a better FCN!

Thank you for your response. It has been read and noted. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my message, as it means alot. People can only grow with feedback.
I do hope things that concern you such as; recent increase in partisanship that you commented on, apply to everyone, as it feels you missed everyone else to favour just me. Which is odd as I'm voting Independent. Yet time and time again in at least 7 months You have stood staunchly by the side of the CP party, demonizing others.
It's hard to see the forest through the trees, especially when ones own backyard is thick and bushy.
Let'sleave it there. I do not wish a repeat of the last time you were here. I don't feel the FCN needs another episode of that non-constructive drama.
Gagium, New Inglaterra
A vote for Rhineland is not a vote for a 'better' FCN, but rather a vote for a worse FCN. If Rhineland could barely defend his ideas against the other candidates on the debate stage during the past 2 debates, what makes you think that he will be capable of defending the region in any circumstance? Rhiney's history in the region is one of abandoning the region after things don't go his way, time after time. I would like to delve into Rhiney's so-called "Why to Vote Holy Rhinish Islands" dispatch published on his nation:
1. "Senate Experience"
Here Rhiney talks about his senate experience, which..strangely enough every other candidate on this stage has experience in the senate, and many candidates in the race have more senate experience than he does. Strangely enough, Rhiney claims to have "Impeached and Removed the Corrupt President Mr. Furbish Islands" in this section, which..certainly never happened. Rhiney points that he "saved 29 main motions" before the old discord was raided, though that was no accomplishment - That was his duty as Senate Clerk..Which he later neglected and resigned from the position, naturally.
2. "Foreign Policy"
We see Rhiney pledge to form 'a voting bloc in the World Assembly to prevent Leftist Resolutions from passing either the General Assembly or the Security Council', which while noble isn't going to happen - And what does he define as a 'Leftist Resolution'? Rhiney then later targets the League of Conservative Nations, a region that has a semi-hostile recent history with us (While most other conservative regions certainly don't) and singles them out..to be friends with them? He also makes the claim that "the main catalyst of the lack of relations, Doge Republics, now sits in neither region" - That claim was completely false at the time it was made, and it is now only true because Doge called them out on something they didn't want us to know.
3. "Raiding"
Here, Rhiney makes a promise that "Raids will become more often against smaller regions with differing interests" - How will raids 'become more often'?
4. "Transparency"
Rhinish says that he will "propose a system in which every single motion, vote, judicial decision, and executive order of the FCN Government is tracked on a dispatch available to all."..Okay, and who's going to run this dispatch, and why does this need executive approval? That was ironically Rhiney's job as Senate Clerk before he resigned - To track and record motions and votes..It seems as if Rhiney seeks to impose his will on the Senate in the name of unwanted 'transparency' through this, especially since he promised in both debates that he would resign from the senate. This was ironically done to claim that he is in favor of separation of powers.
5. "Corruption" - Rhiney says that he will fight back against corruption...Mk, good to know, how?
6. "Bipartisanship"
Ironically, these elections are very partisan at the moment - We have the NPP President and Vice President and the CP President and Vice President running. Support for Rhiney on the NPP side of things seems very partisan, even compared to Ulrech's CP-led voting bloc (Which, by the way, both Ulrech and Rhiney earlier made the statement that they have voting blocs behind them..Do you, the voter, really want to be a part of a faceless voting bloc?). Weirdly enough though, most of this section is spent attacking people on their partisan affiliation..Ironic for a section about bipartisanship.
7. "Government Reforms"
Rhiney starts by claiming that "An elected Senate could be beneficial to the region" - No, it wouldn't be. An elected senate would take away the freedom of anyone to become engaged and involved in our politics, and it would certainly reduce transparency and the rights of the individual - This system would quickly be overcome as parties scramble to get their partisan candidates elected. These 'reforms' would further the toxic political environment and are hardly beneficial in any way. Then, Rhiney claims that "a move to NationStates from Discord could be beneficial" - Which, certainly it could and I would look into that if elected, but is that not the people's decision. The last poll on the subject (on Nationstates) was heavily downvoted by the region's residents. Then, touching back on government reforms Rhiney says that "only competent people would be elected" under an elected senate - That's not how it works, unfortunately (This election's results and the support for Rhiney demonstrates that quite nicely).
8. "A Voice for the Common People"
Strangely enough, the common people who have read the debate on discord have largely disproved of Rhiney's stances, campaigning, and have agreed that he has completely lost the first debate - He was repeatedly 'clowned' as he made repeated blunders and couldn't defend his stances. Rhiney says that "It's about time that the common people, not the News, chooses the President" - What news? I wasn't aware of there being a News cabal in the FCN..Ironically Rhiney claims to not be a 'major regional politician' and one of the people after bragging about his vast senate accomplishments and years of history in the region. Alright.
9. "Experience outside the Senate"
Strange that Rhiney brings up Topeka in the FCN's predecessor - He tried to impeach Topeka and Qui-Gon in a rage fit (While leaving the discord server numerous times in other fits of rage or anger), and was later banjected for his behavior in our predecessor region. Rhiney then brags about being revered about "Saint Rhiney the Vindicated"..As a meme. Alright, cool you were a meme. Is that a good thing? Probably not..He was in the hall of shame additionally, which strangely New Inglaterra, a supporter of Rhiney, used against San Carlos Islands extensively in his attack dispatch against SCI.
10. "Government Involvement"
Rhiney claims that the elections are about the common person at the end of this, but so far the elections have been used to advocate for two things - Ulrech (along with the CP), and Rhiney (along with the NPP) - Both claimed to be doing well due to having a "voting bloc" behind them on the discord. Again, I ask you - Do you want to be forced to choose between Ulrech (CP) and Rhiney (NPP) and his nonsensical policies? You don't have to - This race doesn't have to be between two voting blocs and how many people Ulrech and Rhiney can rally to vote them in each. This election truly can be for the people by the people, which is why I humbly ask you to vote Gagium 2020 for President. Don't let the major parties control this election - Vote me, The Independent Choice, and I will only be accountable to YOU, not the shady parties running voting blocs!

First of all Id like to congratulate New Inglaterra on becoming our next Senate Speaker although I did not vote for him I have faith in his ability to perform his duties as Senate Speaker and to uphold the Constitution furthermore Id like to ask for your vote many members of the opposition have spoken Ill of my political party and of me even going so far as to say we feed poison to the region to say the very least all of these statements are untrue during my time as Senate Speaker and Justice I have always been an advocate for third party rights, in fact the very people who criticize me for being partisan used to send me their legislation to critique before they proposed it finally I ask you all to read the transcripts from the two debates in hopes that you may better understand each candidates stance on issues that matter the most to you and finally win or lose this election Im always available to help anyone who needs help feel free to telegram me or dm me on discord

And we had an amazing time last night, being able to field questions to the candidates.
The buzz was 👍
But as for the results... meh
It was like having a committee of 6 which consisted of 5 lions and 1 Zebra and the question to vote on was, Who wants to eat the zebra?

Viridus, Gagium, Fluvannia, Emerisis
And just like the incredibly plain vanilla ice cream, Ulrech is a plain candidate. For six months, we have had rather 'plain' Conservative Party presidents, and what Ulrech is proposing is that we have another three months of..Nothing. Ulrech has fashioned himself to be a supporter of change and not a part of the status quo, but this is simply false - Ulrech, as the Conservative Party candidate, is running for the status quo. The supporters of Rhiney know this, and they're voting against it..Unfortunately, they NPP candidate is being backed up due to false promises of 'change' rather than actual, meaningful descriptions of how to achieve change. I will now delve into Ulrech's "Ulrech for President January 2020" campaign dispatch on his nation page - However, it is so short and plain that I accidentally scrolled to the bottom of it while trying to look for the start of the dispatch..
"Experience":
Here, we see Ulrech talk about his experience in Redlandia, a region allied with our great Federation. While Redlandia was a nice region, they had no constitution and no way of doing things - They were a group of friends, and Ulrech's government position there (as a 'Commandant') stemmed from being in that group of friends. Ulrech next says he was from the Gentleman's Coalition High Command - And what does that mean? It means his region appointed him, of course..Ulrech failed to stand up for his region as their High Command official, though, and Redlandia collapsed while Ulrech was serving in their government. Ideally, this won't occur with Ulrech while serving as the head of our region..While in the Federation of Conservative Nations, Ulrech largely participated in two things - Debate and politics. While political knowledge in regards to the region is good for a Presidential candidate, a vote for Ulrech would be a vote for an FCN career politician, and nothing else.
"Regional Defense":
Ulrech here promises to "establish a strong regional defense force, combining our resources with fellow right-wing regions to protect against Leftist raids". What does 'combining our resources' mean, and why is Leftist capitalized - What is a Leftist? Ulrech then says that "The time commitment required to establish and maintain an effective offensive military is frankly out of the scope of the region at this stage", though a 'strong regional defense force' entails the same commitment and time needed for a strong offensive military. Ulrech acknowledges the similarity between the two in his term "defensive raiding"..Which is essentially raiding, but, well, defensive. It requires the same thing, and if I am elected President, I would listen to the people on the subject rather than draw a line in the sand and claim that the line separates two different things. What makes Ulrech so sure that 'defensive raiding' won't "consistently fail"?
"Regional Records": Ulrech promises to create back-ups of "each and every law"..But couldn't he have done that during his tenure as Senate Speaker? In fact, shouldn't that be the Senate Speaker's job rather then his own? It seems like this was added because people would think "ohhh, regional records good, i'll vote ulrech", but in reality this empty promise would likely never be done by the President or anyone in the executive. Ulrech promises that he will "create a system to protect our past and safeguard our future"..How? What magic 'system' will protect our past and safeguard our future?
"The Constitution":
Ulrech then mentions the constitution and says that it requires reform..Why wasn't that done during Ulrech's Senate Speaker tenure or otherwise if it requires reform? He says that he will work with the Senate Speaker and the Justices to find loop-holes and issues in the Constitution and amend as appropriate to sure-up the Constitutional integrity of our Region" - Does he believe the senators to be incapable of doing this themselves? Why would it be the President's job to patch so-called 'loopholes' in the constitution? Anyone is free to propose any amendments to the constitution if they're a senator.
"State of the Federation":
Ulrech promises to address the Federation in the midpoint of his presidency "to provide updates on my campaign promises" (I assume he means the other..three?..mentioned above). Ulrech then says that "for too long have Presidents drifted into obscurity and been left unaccountable to the people" - Does this include the candidates supported by the CP in the past two elections? How does making a speech all of a sudden make you 'accountable to the people'? There's not much else to say here, though..he's saying he'll make a speech - Okay? I can make one too.
"Final Remarks":
You're welcome for taking the time to read your dispatch, Ulrech! This section then ends with a big blue "VOTE CONSERVATIVE" ad, and while the current polls certainly make it seem like you either have to vote CONSERVATIVE or vote NATIONAL POPULIST, those aren't the only two options - Vote Gagium, the independent choice!..Or vote whoever you want to, but please do know that you aren't stuck with voting for either an average joe CP politician or an incompetent NPP ex-hall of shame member.
However, I am certainly not done yet..Ulrech has four incredibly bland and safe promises on his dispatch. If you want another three months of Furby and another three months of the RCS, go ahead - Vote Ulrech. You won't be disappointed with Ulrech, because all of these promises actually require little to no change in the structure of anything..And they all require little to no actual action being taken. I will now delve into some of Ulrech's other debate statements to attempt to get a better look at his presidential campaign, because his dispatch has little substance and seems to be an attempt to placate his CP supporters (Who already had plans on voting Ulrech and their party) while maybe trying to pick up one or two new voters.
Cabinet Reform and Activity:
Ulrech says that "allowing each individual within it more leeway to do their jobs leaves a possibility of the creation of jobs with each department". As a cabinet member myself and someone who has been in this region for years now, this is not true - Lack of coordination and a common cause can negatively affect the region (And has negatively affect the region), result in a lack of progress from the executive, no new goals being reached, and disunity. A unified, coordinated cabinet of qualified leaders and those with potential to do great things needs to happen for real change to happen - An anarchy-like cabinet with no leadership present and no structure will do little good for us.
Corruption/Transparency:
Ulrech says that "no one wants corruption within government as President I will do everything in my power to show as much from my Cabinet as I can". Okay. You will do everything in your power to show as much from your cabinet as you can? Interesting..What does that mean? What will there to be to show of your cabinet if they're all doing their own things (if even doing anything productive for the region), though?
CHANGE:
This one is important..Ulrech says that "From the day I joined the FCN I branded myself as an advocate for Senate reform and as someone to bring legislation to...I continue down that path to this day....Ive stated I want to edit the constitution as it is the most important document in the Federation and as Ive said before the FCN is ever changing and we must change with her or we will he left behind and on the wrong side of history". The only change Ulrech promises is change that he could've accomplished as the leader of the Senate for the past three months, or even as a regular senator. Perhaps the position Ulrech was aiming to run for was Senate Speaker, and he accidentally got mixed up and registered for President..? Regardless..editing the constitution..What can I say about that? Any senator can do that with support.
And..that's pretty much it. We haven't seen a lot of substantive policies from Ulrech - A vote for Ulrech is a vote for another three months of nothingness. A vote for Gagium, the independent choice, however, is a vote for the people, a vote for the region, and a vote for a path FORWARDS, not backwards. Don't let the two self-proclaimed voting blocs get to the best of you - You AREN'T stuck with Ulrech and Rhiney. Don't be afraid to vote for Gagium, the independent choice, and don't be afraid to speak your mind! This extends to NPP members, CP members, and anyone - Do you really want another three months of either disastrous policy or CP nothingness? No, you want change and positive change, and you want it now - Vote for Gagium 2020 and let's turn this race around!

Having not been here long, I have seen that this region has a well established system and government. I am not aware of the misdeeds of Conservative candidates in the past, but simply because you belong to an establishment party does not mean you are automatically part of the establishment. If anyone, you may put forward as an Establishment candidate it is the one running as an independent, not that these titles bother me.
I am impressed that of the candidates while Gagium has mentioned it, Ulrech is taking a stand against the failures, both gameplay and diplomatic wise, of offensive gaming. One may say that if your ideas require military force to put them in practice, then they aren't brilliant ideas.
Prior to being in this region (this taking place around 2015) I was a member of Libertatem, a Libertarian Region that was under Establishment Rule of the Reganist Libertarian Party. It participated in a multitude of raids across the board against leftists and because of that made Internal and External enemies. I made a party specifically to counter the RLP and reform the Government. My party never made it to power, but because of a new RLP "Establishment" candidate who put me in a position of power, regardless of my political party, the region was able to change (until they couped me out of the Attorney General Office, but that's another story.)
This taught me that the establishment is what you make it. The establishment is a term. When the anti-eatablishment wins, you become the establishment. Trump is the establishment now. He was the anti-eatablishment. The moment any party gets into the establishment they become it. The term is worthless.
Raiding is bad politics, while reaching out and creating friends is good. For us all. Plain and simple raiding does not help and I will not endorse a candidates that will put our foreign affairs at risk. Having not been here for the history of the FCN I will not pass judgement on the position of the LCN, but I do not believe in being an agressive actor as a region.

I've been in the Hall of Fame on two occasions; where have you been? Oh that's right, I forgot.
Gagium, Dragonwings
In my passion. I said raiding and not gaming.
Ulrech, Viridus, Gagium, New Inglaterra
Still doesnt change the fact youve been in the hall of shame as well :(

Also Id rather focus on actual policy issues than past titles....honestly I made the hall of shame post in jest...something it seems a few in this region have forgotten about
Gagium, Fluvannia, Dragonwings
Yeah, along with the great name of San Carlos Islands, yet somehow that didn't stop you from voting for SCI?

Rhinish Islands is in favor of peaceful relations and using the WA to influence NS you know!
Gagium
You will no longer receive telegrams or notices from The Republic of Kalnorad.

At the end of the day Holy Rhinish Islands promotes offensive raiding and while Im not completely throwing out that possibility offensive raiding is oftentimes a waste of time as it involves lots of coordination and people typically getting online and unreasonable time
Gagium, Aglonia
I'm sure that as a former raider both you and I know that there are both 12 PM and 12 AM (ET) raids... right?
Gagium, New Inglaterra
Yes....its rather unreasonable to suggest that a large group of people who work, and attend school to get on at noon...I personally have classes at noon...I dont think I need to explain how unreasonable midnight is
Gagium
Eh, fair.
Weekend does exist tho
Gagium, New Inglaterra
Ulrech, will you plan on continuing offensive raiding, or do you plan for a much more peaceful foreign relations approach?
Rhinish, Why do you want to continue to have hostile intentions towards other regions at the expense of our international portrait?

Literally one minute ago regarding a 9 o'clock debate
"Well RIP me tomorrow then for band"
Gagium, Fluvannia
wdym
I was referring to the fact I left my instrument at school to not practice because I was going to be in a debate from -6 minutes ago to the time my sister would've been in bed.
Gagium
As outlined in my campaign dispatch I intend to for the most part only use raiding as a method of defense...as President I want to see our relations with other regions flourish and in most cases raiding isnt the best way to do so
Gagium, Fluvannia, Aglonia
Exactly, your schedule isn't working out for you
Ulrech, Gagium
Are... you okay?
My schedule is perfect, I have a crapload of free time which I happen to spend on the FCN, and Citizens like You.
Gagium
But you literally just said you left your instrument, so you could make the debate. Doesn't sound like an ideal schedule
Gagium, Fluvannia
Like I take it home anyway?
Gagium, New Inglaterra
I saw...I actually wrote the RMB post to break up your policy (Which isnt much at all. You dont have much policy at all..) and give my input on why it certainly wouldnt bring change, or anything close to it..Is there a secret archives in the CP channel of your proposed changes that the rest of the region cant see, or..is there really nothing there?
The majority of your rebuttal to my post was on defending your past titles rather than on policy, which composed the very vast majority of my look at your promises and election campaign.
New Inglaterra, Holy Rhinish Islands
So why complain about in the first place then? lol
Gagium
Is there anyone against peaceful relations..?
Liberated American Provinces
I knew the name Kalnorad sounded familiar...
Gagium
I do want everyone to be aware if they are voting Anti-Establishment, the only effective change your making is who the establishment is. Anti-Establishment politics is a fools game of making themselves the very thing they proclaim to hate. A truly anti-establishment candidate is one who will change the entire system, of which Ulrech has said he would look directly at the constitution to see where these reforms are needed.
Gagium
Anyone who supports offensive Raiding.
