Candidate Evans does the huge - and probably costly too - promise of ‘Keeping Second Life Safe of FL Lawsuits, as Governor’. The SLGOP’s campaign poster with the tag line ‘Own your own clarity’ states: It’s RL Lawyers - like Jack Thompson - and RL politicians that pose the greatest threat to our way of life… because their lawsuits and ill-conceived laws could virtually DESTROY Second Life as we know it! As you Governor, Erbo Evans will be committed to defending and protecting SL against the threats - NOT using them as an excuse to limit Resident free expression, or grab more power for the government! The Grid Democracy Party acknowledges the importance of this issue, especially now the rumours go that the present Linden Administration considers country based filtering systems. Yet a few pages further on his blog in his campaign folder Candidate Evans’ campaign manager Danielle Ferguson threatens to orbit all who do not vote for Erbo. The Grid Democracy Party here wishes to make the following statement: when in office we shall take a very thorough look at all AR’s filed against Danielle Ferguson, her staff and and Erbo Evans conserning orbiting residents and we shall react appropriate. Of course, AR’s for murdering prim babies, stealing from innocent residents and broadly offensive behaviour shall be ignored. A campaign switch that was started - or so she claims - by Candidate Flintoff with the key sentences: ‘Tyffany Flintoff will be Your Governess. Vote for her on 1 July or your (Second) Life will be over.‘ Candiate Flintoff says Mr. Evans stole her campaign ideas: ‘The Flintoff campaign does not have to turn to staff members to provide an attractive model for their posters; it’s clear that my earlier comments to Mr Evans surrounding his attire have struck home and he now realises that “latex sells”; Ms Ferguson is clearly one hot item and should she wish to jump ship to the winning team she knows where to call; the subtle and understated use of weaponry in these posters is surely too similar to be coincidental; and the gentle reminder that bad things happen to those who vote poorly has been a feature of the Flintoff campaign since day one.’

A new candidate - stepping up close to the end of the SLelections race - is Nuschi Martynov. Speaking German as mother tongue, he must have thought ‘Hey, as Arnold can do this, so can I!’. On his platform he addresses the german immigrants and bus passengers in Second Life, saying that he supports the other candidates’ - and we assume that’s mainly Candidate Falken’s - demands, but not the candates themselves. He starts his campaign with the demand for the right to be late in Second Life. And witht he promis that if you vote for him Second Life will be slower. We think he should clarify on what would be slower: the bug fixes, the implementation of the new verification system or the folluw up of AR’s and help requests? Yet, as it comes to candidates with cute german accents, the Grid Democracy Party still prefers Candidate Volare.

Update: Candidate Martynov clarified his ‘for the Right to be Late!’ platform: ‘The Right to be Late has to be an avatarian fundamental right. Slowness must be part of the basic SL system. Occasional lag is not enough! Delayed TP’s and Logins cannot happen just now and then! This is our first Election Poster. Vote for Nuschi Martynov! For the discovery of more and better slowness in SL!’
