I formally announce my candidacy for Underhusen.

My mother taught me everyone needs a chance and a champion, and I still hear her voice urging me to keep working, keep fighting for right, no matter what

To be great we can't be small, we have to big as the values that define Wintreath, and we are a big hearted fair minded region.

I've always tried to be a positive campaign and I remember U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama once said "When they go low we go High" and will always remember that, so no matter what happens always remember this region will always be "we not me". So remember to vote and lets keep making history together.

I'll put it to you bluntly, but as politely as I'm able to.

Firstly, this is your third election, and I don't think you fully understand the people here.

Normally, I could be wrong for saying this, but the election results during your last two attempts made it very clear -  You only got 1 vote each time, and both times it was your own vote.

That in itself is extremely telling.  Even the candidates we've had that have had arguments, made to clear they had a specific agenda, or didn't resonate with most people had more votes than just their own.  The fact that you didn't manage either time to secure a single vote from someone other than yourself shows that you absolutely do no understand how this region works nor how its people think or feel.

But I also don't think you actually care to understand, either.  Last election, you gave a lot of statements that reminded me of cotton candy: They were really sweet and sounded good, but you never really get your fill with them because in the end they're just empty, and you realize that it's just sugar that you're being fed.  Absolutely nothing you said made me confident that you would be a good candidate as opposed to any of the others, and it was clear that I definitely wasn't the only one feeling that way.

I'll also note that you never really made an effort to pop on the forums often outside of elections.  The fact that you keep disappearing when elections conclude, but appear when they start over is something else that's extremely telling.  It shows that you don't really care about anything outside of getting a position here, and that really begs the question as to why.  Again, even some of the most ambitious people here have made far more of an effort to show they care even a tinge, and that's reflected in the fact that they've gotten votes from people outside of themselves.  They've gotten to know us, and we've gotten to know them.

But all I know about you is that you're running, again.

So my biggest question is why should I care?  Why should I or anyone vote for you when you've made little-to-no effort outside of elections, let alone outside of the election period, to even show that you even want to try getting to know us and being a part of the actual community?  You've already blown two elections, so what's going to make this third one any different?

And I don't want some more of those cotton candy answers that you gave out last election.  I want some actual ones that show me that you even care about the community as much as you're making it sound like.

Do you have credentials?

If elected, what kind of role you expect to adopt in Underhusen? Do you see yourself proposing many new laws or focusing in working on whatever whenever happens to be on the table?

A unified Underhusen is strong and efficient Underhusen. How are your relations to other candidates?

@Pengu your right why should any care to vote for me, I am going to be honest I haven't really gotten to join any gaming forum here, now I know that wintreath is not a political region and I should see it that way this region takes pride on not being very political. And people are right on stop running for every election and get to know this community and establish yourself first. Now I know some people who are very political in this region always run for Underhusen and lose because this region  dosen't want to be very political. People like you interact with the Citizens of Wintreath with non - political forums, and just take @Mathyland for example barely join the region but interact With the region and gotten to know the region and because of the Mathyland might actually have a chance to become Underhusen. (Mathyland if you are reading this I fully support your campaign )


But what I hope I can do in the future is interact with Citizens of Wintreath with non-political forums and go see more of the legislation the Underhusen might pass (but yesterday they were talking about adding another Underhusen due to all the massaive people are running for the four seats) and thats it there is my honesty hope you have a pleasant day

Once again I feel like my questions were danced around and not completely answered.

First off, there are are more than just gaming forums here.  There's a discussion forum, a general chat forum, RP forums, an art forum, a video game forum, and more.  Gaming is but one of the small many things around here...and again that makes it clear that you don't know Wintreath very well.

Wintreath is not a political region, everyone and their mother knows that...it's not new news.   You're endorsing another candidate for the very reason why you've been doing a terrible job - because he's interacted with people and gotten to know them.  Whereas, as I said, you disappear until the next elections.   Politics is just one small facet of the region, but it's one that hinges on your ability to actually get to know the people.  If you don't, you stand no chance of getting into the UH, whether you're political or not.  Isn't it a bit strange when those who aren't political who take time to interact with people actually get into the UH compared to those who are political and only interact for convenience?

@Pengu I was being honest as I can be and then you decided to just twist the knife and use it as an attack and if it wasn't it sounds like it but I could be wrong and it was just probably advice

It was actually more just pointing out the obvious.  To do well here or gain the trust of the people, you have to show that you genuinely want to get to know and understand them.

To do that you have to actually put the effort to do it without being asked to.  That means posting around not just during elections, and not just because you think doing so will get you votes.   When you do neither, you only show that you neither know nor even truly want to know how this region and its people actually work.

Alright, alright. Let's lay off the newbie a little. He's done nothing malicious and obviously doesn't understand how things work around here very well yet. He's said himself what he needs to do to improve. He understands he probably won't get many (if any) votes. Now let's give him the chance to prove himself and get to know the community better in the next coming months before he decides whether or not to run again next election.
