As agreed at the last party conference the UKPP held an open nomination process for entry onto the partywide ballot.
48hours of polling later the player with the plurality (and in this instance majority) of the votes and the UKPP nominee for the office of Country President is.....

Born only six months ago (during TUP nominee Talon Karrde's second term) he has managed to amass in his relativly short time 3 congressional medals, A term as PP of the UKPP and has even found time to command the Royal Navy MU.

Various TUPers - "Zomg! Buying votes for articles.
The game gives an article a 3 day life span therefore if you want to maximise the exposure of your message, train of thought or (in this instance) a result - you do so.
It's been said time and time before - you guys can RP it up all you like as that seems to be your preference. We prefer to play the game and will therefore eek every advantage out of the way it is set-up to do so.
Spygon - Who is Mr Feist?
The blurb about him was the blurb supplied on the ballot.
Should others know about him given he has spent almost everyday of his eLife in some in-game position of power? I don't know!
On the one hand you could say that people should be aware of that fact if they looked outside their immediate chain of command but as you alluded, He hasn't published alot of articles or made many shouts and therefore he hasn't exactly promoted himself like others would.
I imagine his campaing team will be "pushing this guy's name in everybody's faces" to address that lack of 'look at me mom, see what I can do' self promotion.
Thomas7654321 - Usually parties are bitter about supporting a former member. Now it shows how much UKPP is a puppet of New Era. Well done.
The process followed was that agreed upon at the last party conference.
i) Partywide message asking for candidates
ii) Other party presidents (one to ten minus spamicans) informed that they would need to submit a name prior to date/time 'x'
iii) Partywide ballot of all applicants + nominees from other parties
iv) Publish result
The democratic process was followed to the letter, if you think this makes 109 eUKers simple drones or pawns of another party or intrest group then I really can't help you with that.
Joshua - "but he's only a new guy and has no experience, lacks a gold medal from the winter olympics, hasn't been knighted by Woldy or sacrificed to baal!?!!!?!"
Game says he's got enough EXP points to run, UKPP members know he can organise stuff and given that our previous super-old, super-level CP's haven't exactly set the world on fire.....give youth its head.

ERGO IS GONE, NOBODY CARES NIEMAND : 3
good luck!
"Great CP choice ! " x2
Poor Ergo, I miss him, how bravely he fought those damned vote buyers! How hard he fought in the side of .....
76% ouch indeed eh Danie?
Niemand, I agree and also agree in your condemnation of TUP, Talon, Kravenn and that ''unknown'' foreign TUP member who have recently brought votes for articles. I look forward to your condemnation of them in their articles...oh...you never do...odd that!
Anyway, good luck Mr Feist. A brilliant candidate and worthy of the support of two out of the top three eUK's biggest political parties. That fact in itself says it all O7
Vote Feisty \o/
Who?
yeah i know this is going to sound TUP biased in this weird war you guys have going on but who is Mr Fiest i dont know who he isand what he done for this country or deserve to be CP
No disrespect to the guy just would like to know more about Mr Feist and good luck
I don't think anyone outside of UKPP has heard of him, he hasn't even published an article in two months.
Hugh, you do not agree at all with me. Spare me that. Mentioning Kravenn, that is several months ago. Talon said himself he bought votes. Now the only article with bought votes is this. Not needed I think when you are that strong. And please say where I condemn vote buying, I just tell it is been done.
When you get support from 2 out of the top 5 parties it says all you tell. What is when you get more support?
Due to Talon's recent hard work, we now have a large reserve for times of war; do we really want to trust a level 30 candidate that nobody has even heard of with such a large amount of money?
Also, your tactics of pushing this guy's name in everybody's faces (shout spam, vote buying, now awaiting the annoying PMs that nobody reads) I'm never going to be supporting New Era in anything.
Also Alfagrem, plz return to Canada.
Usually parties are bitter about supporting a former member. Now it shows how much UKPP is a puppet of New Era. Well done.
Joshua, if him being level 30 is such a concern do you hold the point of view that Woldy served 6 undeserved terms?
Good luck RFeist in the upcoming elections, party stuff aside it is good to see players willing to take up the huge responsibility and consequent criticisms from every angle that the CP has to endure. I hope that NE are not throwing the lamb to the wolves here.
UKPP* woops, sorry
Sam010, Woldy served his terms a long time ago; back then his experience was above average.
And as you seem to have missed the point, I'll reiterate it, nobody outside of the UKPP and New Era (Both the same thing anyway) has heard of him. He lacks the experience and credibility to warrant my support.
calm down lads , take a deep breath .
has he ever been a minister? Or just an MP? Doesn't seem like a serious contender, disapointing 🙁
Say no to vote buying! http://prntscr.com/itwfa
Good luck RFeist
@ Joshua Whelan - with all due respect, you're level 37 and I've never heard of you.
A CP is a figurehead for a country, if the team that he puts around him (if he were to win) have experience in the game, then I think we can be safe in the knowledge he'll he guided in any matters he's unsure of.
@Spygon have you a short memory/attention span? Richard Feist [it's nice if you spell a chap's name correctly when disrespecting them] ran as Deputy CP with Ayame Crocodile against Keers
I may not have published a recent article but there are other ways of being active in the game asides from that, I do promise when im CP that I will be publishing articles a minimum of every 3 days and will be active in PMing people. The team that I have chosen to support me (cabinet will be published in sundays article) are good at what they do and will be active and help me run the country. I may not have held a cabinet position but I believe that it will not inhibit me from performing the
sigh, the usual tup-trolling , lucky I have the sword handy.
CP role to the best of my ability. I am not going to be going 'trigger happy' with the treasury and maintain that my government will be transparent and held accountable for its actions.
@ Joshua Whelan - Im sorry you feel that way but I asure you that when I am CP I will prove you wrong and we will have a strong month.
The usual anti vote buying TUP trolling as well. Sums up the nice party doesnt it - do as we say not as we do.
sigh, the usual tup-trolling , lucky I have the sword handy. x2
good luck Richard, you got my vote
TUP are anti New Player. If someone with a 2012 join date has good ideas, a sensible head and a strong team to support them... why not?
This is what New Era is all about and I know that UKPP are keen to reverse the forum elite dominance and what better way to do that?
Oddly enough not many had heard of Magic Heroes either and yet TUP said that shouldn't be a point of contention...I see no relevance as to whether or not people have heard of him. TU fielded Count Drackula who vaishes and doesnt even fight anymore and was under level 30 when he ran for CP...who indeed. I love double standards \o/
TUP are anti New Player. x2
True statement, they promote helping the "new" player. But do nothing but obstruct him/her.
Fact
I declare rfeist Knight of Feistiness
Also above 3 comments are p much naff
That includes one of your own 🙂 Glad that you like mine!
No he means the one about TUP fielding an unheard of candidate who was below level 30 and doesnt fight for the eUK...he's a forum/IRC player...but shushhhh...thats complete fact and Woldy can prove me wrong instead of trolling but TUP dont deal in facts ; )
Three articles in top 5 saying the same. A joint candidate from UKPP and NE (pushing out other articles from top 5 with money). In the comments I read that the candidate experience is not important but that of the cabinet. Citizens can judge on that.
Good luck!
A president is voted as a representative of his/her people, how are we supposed to vote for them if nobody even knows who they are?
It isn't just TUP who feel this way, it's almost every person outside of the NE and UKPP multiaccoutning club.
Where were you when MagicHereos won? ESO voted for him!
MagicHeroes won by a very slim margin, I'm pretty sure our official stance was neutral and it basically came down to the party president's decision at the time. I personally voted the PCP candidate.
Well seeing as I've spent most of his eLife in contact with him I can provide an insight. Feisty became a regular in the IRC chat around the end of April/May time. He was found to be polite, active and intelligent. He was soon asked to captain the RN's Retention Regiment. Something he did with great success and little prompting. His sheer friendly inclusiveness and willing to jump in the deep end made him an ideal candidate for UKPP PPx2, he then became RN admiral, he's a good guy...
a willing guy, that everyone who comes in to contact with him only has nice words about.
Good luck Rich
^ What Wayne said...
Part of the reason why he might not be universially known is that he doesn't have a giant ego that demands to be the centre of attention... Additionally, he tends to avoid and not get involved with arguments typical of some of the comments above which is based upon the "if you aren't in my party then you are untrustworthy and wrong"...
I suspect that if he was a member of the TUP, then he'd would have been pushed forward before now...
TUP are anti-new player? Tell me who's messaging Bohemond4 (a new player) accusing him of being a multi? Oh, right, it's high up NEW ERA members.
I'm sure Richard is a great guy but the people who have selected him as their figurehead aren't. There's a reason this relatively unknown, nice little chap has been selected and that's exactly because he's nice and quiet, while people like Goku, etc, have no chance to get votes from outside of NE/UKPP and so Mr Feist has the "nice guy" image that they need to get votes. While in office I'm sure that Richard will have the best of intentions but the usual underhand BS will happen from others.
