Campaign Trail by Remy The Living
May 12th, 2012 2:04 PMAll that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
Ladies and Gentlemen of SF0, I present to you the application to the seat of High Senator over the City of Portland. This seat will be shared between myself and a Co-senator that has conspired with myself and will be called: Death Cube.
SF0, you may have noticed my absence over the passed few months. Although this has been a long and difficult journey, I successfully redeemed my human right to SF0 (it's a noun and a verb; who knew?). Over this time I have learned much, and gained many times. Upon my return (under a secret identity to protect my interests) I created a group for the express purpose to bring this mighty legion of creative and lovely people back to it's former glory. If you'll turn your attention to the groups I have designated, it is called SSF0Rs, or Sphores. I invite all of you to join and help mine and all in allegiance to Sphores' cause to bring this once great civilization back! We cannot do it alone, you must recruit the best and brightest minds from all over the world. I know the reach of SF0's hand is long, but right now it is retreated back, and if we but extended it and grasped at what we cannot see we would find that it is there, that our people are there. I expect much of you, and I know this, but this would help all in the long run. I mean not to build an army, but to raise a good crop of souls. In 10 years, I expect to wake from whatever slumber beholds me and to find this community strong. I refuse to believe that things die after a while, and I will prevent this happening to us at all costs! I have already fought for my rights, with pen and tongue, but we must fight for the future of our life here, in this beautiful land that we call home, this land we call SF0. (that isn't to say we live in San Francisco) I dunno about you, but most of the time this place is the only place I am accepted and shown even the slightest bit of respect, and I don't want to lose it. I fear for what may happen.
I extend this calling out to you, the people of SF0, to help yourselves and your homeland.
I apply myself and my conspirator, Death Cube, to Senatorship under the ruling symbol of SF0. Please consider our candidacy.
If this were to be our end, then I would make it such an end, as to be remembered by!
-Theoden, King of Rohan

I'll be extremely impressed if you manage to scrounge up the requisite 25 votes. I just looked over my tasks from the past year and the most votes I've ever gotten on anything was 18.
its a sad day indeed when not enough players are active enough to make new senators...
Yeah, most I've gotten in the past year was 19.
I have low expectations for this campaign, even if you do manage to produce the things you promise.
I can't wait to see what you do for the city of PDX. I feel proud to have raised two players and fun loving and dedicated as you. I give you a full five point blessing as well as the blessing of the former princess of PDX.
Now go out and do awesome stuff. Post it here so you get more votes!
happy mothers' day, my SF0 mommy
that's not creepy, is it?
Nice speech. Now tell me your ideas on how you're going to make live more awesome. :)
step 1: recruit some badass people
step 2: do group tasking
step 3: ???????
step 4: Profit + everything is better.
:D Further points upon completing these steps. Am curious what you're going to do for step 3, will already be very impressed upon completion of steps 1 and 2, and know you will have the potential to make your world into something awesome.
Is that a promise for more group tasking for all of us?
Because being a senator is all about your voters.
Whip up a campaign poster and/or button and you'll have my vote, sir.
