Thank You and Good Night [Concedes]

by Alias Vision
Please allow me to be the first to concede to Kronos Q tonight and congratulate him on his victory. He is a great asset to Canada and with a capable team behind him, will lead us effectively. Of this I am convinced.
On a similar note (i.e. conceding), impersonating a citizen, organization or political party used to lead to sanctions. It is one of the lowest tactics that is possible to employ and really shows a complete lack of sportsmanship.
I was ready for many different things tonight.
I was ready for the possibility of not winning. Kronos Q led a superb campaign with clear and engaging articles. When he started picking up the endorsements of EPIC and other smaller parties, you knew he would do well.
I was ready for the possibility of finishing last... that is behind Fram and Aeriala. Fram because of the support he mustered late in the campaign and the fact that the MDP had the power to whip their vote. Aeriala because he just did a fantastic job this past term. Sure he could be criticized for some things but overall he did more, with less than about any President before him.
Finally, as the hours went by I started realizing that not only would I finish last... I would finish behind Rolo.
That was a little harder to take.
He almost beat me by tripling my support, may still happen.
That... embarrasses me. Go back in the archives of past CP races and see those that garnered less than 6% of the vote. How many of those ended up having any sort of career later on?
Jacobi just wrote in his article (a great read incidentally) that I ended up, "not being a threat". Hell... I ended up not even being relevant.
Nobody likes that feeling.
So to those brave souls that took a chance on me... a warm thank you. I hope to escape the curse of the 6% and justify your confidence in me.
To Kronos Q... excellent work. Believe it or not, that was the easy part, now comes the task of governing.
To Aeriala... you've been right for two months, the system unfortunately is wrong.
To Canada... better luck next time eh?

No need to point out I could have conceded at 10 this morning. ;p
This article confirms my belief that you are a class act, AV.
I almost feel bad for not voting you. Sorry man but gotta follow party guidelines and not old friends.
You can still contribute greatly to Canada despite this set back, just don't let it get to you, and just stay yourself.
maybe next time...
You could have conceded at 9 this morning...
Yes, and sanctions should be taken against "The Democratic Action League" and TemujinBC. When that party disbanded and became "The Crimson Party". then "CHAOS", We, in a party vote, decided to carry on the legacy of the DAL...they then decided to get in on our brand and momentum in an attempt to steal votes from our supporters...
Also the "Union National" is the english version that fights for the rights of english speaking Canadians not having to be forced to read posts in congress written only in French. Not at all the same thing as the "Union Nationale"...Can't fault them for the logo use, google Union National and it it what comes up and was not in use...
You don't really need to feel sorry for finishing behind a guy half of whose votes were multis and the other half clueless two-clickers.
The vote was split between 4 serious candidates with good potential.
The lulz vote was dominated by one candidate. Putting Rolo in the same category as you would be misrepresenting the voting demographic.
At least with this 4-1 ratio, we now see what percentage of our active population wants to make a mess of the country: roughly 14%.
Indeed, let us wait and see what the true tally is once the admins remove half of Rolo's ill gotten votes. It is indeed a shame that you have had as poor a showing as you have this election, but I would chalk it up to a strong pool of candidates in this running, save of course Rolo.
I look forward to seeing you continue your service to this country.
You ignored legitimate questions and concerns that I pointed out to you.
Still think I'm funny now?
I feel for ya man. :/
Just don't make things doubly worse by drifting off into the sunset... keep active! 😃 Your wisdom and your classy act make you one of eCanada's finer sages!
What Rylde said, except that I do feel bad. You truly are a great candidate.
What Chucky said. Stay sincere, stay cool, stay genuine.
Alias, I have supported you in the past and I will in the future. You are a great canidate. This wasn't the best month but shit happens, I took my lumps too but continue on we shall.
No worries AV.
Our time will come.
M'eh
Kronos was the monkey with brass balls, this election
4 'legitimate' candidates with different personalities and strengths but the same, equally uninspiring platforms. 1 'unpopular' candidate that offered hope for adventure but would have been impeached immediately.
It's a lose/lose.
AV i would trust you with CP anytime
If people can choose 1-5, as oppose to only 1 vote, I bet AV would have finished much higher.
CP elections are mainly just a battle of the clans. No shame in losing at that game, it might even be considered a compliment.
So, congratulations! ; -)
Unite the clans.
^ x2
I voted for you.
LOL. ROlO WIN, AV FAIL!
Better luck next time eh?
