SOS Candidate for President of the Country Vote
Every month the SOS Brigade members are allowed to nominate a person they would vote for fore Country President. Every month I, as Party President, take into consideration all these nominations, and the person nominated the most becomes our candidate. I find out reasons why they are running, why my members supported them, and I write up a nice article.
This month I was faced with a dilemma.
My SOS Party Members were nominating me.
Now while I feel myself a capable and caring Congresswoman, and a steady and dependable Party President, I am far from Naive to think that I would do at all well as a Country President.
So, honestly, at first I ran. I told everyone "nononono!" I couldn't do it!
But then well.... something happened.
A strange thing happened
One could blame it on stress of applying to various things in real life, mixed with perhaps easy going, yet totally insane company... with a dash of one of my SOS members asking me with all honesty "but.... what if i want you as CP? "
Who am I, to say that I believe in listening to the people, to my party, and serving their will, and then to.... to just ignore something my party was trying to tell me? I mean honestly!
So yeah, against all reason and logic in my brain, I'm running. I mean, I trust my party, and if this is what they want then so be it.
So what if....
There is a flying pig running around and I win?
Well then I will just do what I usually do, but as president.
I will gather up a group of people who could advise me, ask them to advise me.
Let the Ministers who are rockin' their jobs like Ember and Kuro keep said jobs and get them whatever they want or need within reason.
I'll listen to congress, I will listen to political parties, I will listen to citizens.
I will not act without asking, I will suggest only ideas I might think are good, but I will ultimately leave everything in the hands of the people.
I will be active, as always. I'm here you know I'm here, and my Brigade members can tell you I take care to talk to everyone, no matter who it is to help resolve their problems.
So it isn't like me winning would suck right?
Wont you all join me for watching for pigs in the sky on election day?
Thanks for putting up with me, and yes, I think I'm crazy too.
For SOS! I trust you guys!

I don't think you are crazy. I always admired your work in eSOS. 😃
I see 5g in my future 🙂
Good luck Fae.
My opponent is wishing me luck XD
Thanks! <3
good luck
SOS!
I applaud you for listening to your party.
Best of luck to you!
Good luck i guess, but all you did was make it harder for Kita to win and made a victory for Crawling more secure.
wow. Don't discourage 3rd party candidates by claiming they steal votes from the main two.
A HEALTY democracy should have more than two options, and we should laud her for that.
I think it throws the race on it's head, honestly. Fae has supporters in other parties and Geno has name recognition that I can't compete with. I think I would have beaten Kita, heads up, but with all the candidates now it's a mess.
Nah, Godzilla is the only big and organized group in Japan. The rest are too split up or disorganized. I am 100% sure CC will win tomorrow. The only chance anyone has against Godzilla is when there aren't so many other candidates. CC wont lose that many votes because the extra candidates, Kita will.
Yankumi has my vote!
@Ranger N. : Perhaps, but why give people a option which is unrealistic to ever happen. In the end only CC and Kita are serious candidates. I think it would be better to let people choose who they want from those they are stuck with, than what they would like. I kinda feel those votes will be wasted.
i disagree completely, but w/e
you need to grow support over time. Ross Perot did well the first time he ran, but many people think if he hadn't waited too long to accounce in 1996 he may have beaten Bob Dole in votes
Does that mean you're going to resign from Congress?
Are you talking about rl there Ranger ? First of all, using America as a example seems to be a bit off. Isnt the US pretty much based on two candidate/party system with some insignificant independent party next to it ? Second, i am European, we use totally different systems as the US and i dont know the guys your talking about. Apart from Bob dole, but thats because of Family guy or South Park, dont remember. Third, i dont see any resembles with Faeyes and what your talking about. At least not something you could apply on this situation.
But dont you think a vote will be wasted if it goes to Faeyes, ranger ?
For example, your in the desert and your given 3 options to survive. Eat food, drink water or eat sand. Eating sand is a nice extra option, but in the end Food and Water is what really matters and it would be a waste to pick sand.
Lol, i hope that makes any sense. 😒
I'm so happy Ori thinks I'm like eating sand XD
Heh... sand
No, I favor having more options for the presidential race. The two-candidate system is pretty flawed.
BTW: I didnt really say anywhere i am for a two candidate system. Just against these candidate with no plan at all who just run.
Miss Fae you can count on my vote. Wow, voting for a third party candidate makes me feel like I sticking it to the Man.
Good luck. :0
Thanks Virgil 🙂
And just because I am taking the "I am not making any promises other than to listen and work hard" route Ori doesn't mean I have "No plan at all".
Goodluck Fae, may the best win.
@Ori
Better have a well organised group that care about eJapan than post Dokomo administration who was very chaotic.
SOS!!!
Good luck Fae~
You got my vote...
What do you plan to do if elected? What direction will you take us in with regard to foreign policy? Who will be in your Cabinet?
These, among other questions, remain unanswered.
I'd love to vote for you Fae, but I want to know what I'd be buying into if I did.
"@Ori

What ? Were we talking about that ?
While my Cabinet isn't something I'm announcing....

While it is unrealistic that Fae will win, I don't think it's necessarily a waste for Geno to be running - in fact, I think Geno has a real good shot at winning, too.
