Seriously, why is everyone so eager to run for MoIA this election? Is the MoIA the secret puppet-master of the region and I'm not aware of it?

Truth be told...I'd run for President, but I'm OK with Vista and I just got back on the SC, so I feel like it'd have been a waste of Oel's time if I jumped off now, regardless.

I was planning on running for that position for a little bit now, I didn't expect to really have any competition except for Peng. Though I welcome it, all the same.

I call it the CoFN because it helps in differentiating it from the CFN. It makes life easier.

Running for Prez also crossed my mind, but I don't think now would be a good time. I'm leaving for Europe June 1st, and I'm not sure how active I'll be on NS during the two weeks I'm in Europe. I'd likely end up either resigning partway through my term, or giving up power to my Vice President or something.

In short, the CFN needs an active President, and between my Europe trip and preparing to start a job and college once I get back, I'm not sure if I can provide that. If nothing else, I already know Vista is active enough to be a good President.

It doesn't mean much. The person with the most endorsements is elected the WA delegate. In some regions that means stuff, but here it's mostly symbolic.

In regions where the WA can do things, it means something, here we just decided we wanted to be safe from Raiders and made the elected position be given from the Founder.

When did you submit it?

Well once tou submit an application to become a citizen, someone will send you a telegram once its processed and approved.

Honestly I have no clue what good endorsing is :)

But if you live in the U.S., you're not old enough to have a drink to celebrate any of that. Because America's attitude toward drugs and alcohol is scr*wed up.

Ah, America. Where you can shoot an assault rifle in the name of your country, but still have to wait three more years before you can rifle back a few shots of liquor.

Arguable. I think you could more easily opposite the reverse, as scientific evidence has generally shown marijuana to be less harmful than alcohol. Harder drugs like cocaine and heroin are much less benign, but even then, many people feel a focus on rehabilitation and understanding would be more effective than a focus on fear and enforcement in regards to reducing drug use.

I fulfilled my civic duty and voted already. I encourage everyone who is allowed to vote to get their voice heard.

We are the people! We are the region! Now go and VOTE!
