SLelections: First news…
June 7, 2007 1:13 am
After finding the Concerned Resident’s letter on my teleportal doorstep I was reliefed to quickly find out I was not the only one finding that letter. It was not _just a dream_. Maybe Grid Democracy does stand a chance after all!
Veyron Supercharge found it in her Second Life inbox and thinks Tiessa should run for Governor. Although I’m not sure if that pays better then BDSM Mistress. As far as I konw of, Codie is still the only one that received a text in stead of textured letter through Gmail. She isn’t sure if she’s going to run, but I think she should! Also Myg & Alex found the concerned resident’s message and they’ve teamed up with Romana Wei, who did great in last year’s Little Philly elections. Myg, who is Wei’s campaign leader, even released their first statement on the Wei ‘08 campaign: ‘Because as we all know, if we’re going to keep Second Life Safe Together, then we’re going to have to go after the enemy, hard. There is no safety without war. And besides, we heard “free blow jobs for all” has been taken by another candidate.‘
By then Dolmere Talamasca did not only read the letter thoroughly, he also worked out a thought through platform to support his candidacy for SLG. He does reserve the rights to change the platform at any time. And look, it seems those concerned residents think the already famous Tateru should run for office as well. I’ve checked the ToS and Community Guidelines and neither state that a media mogul should not participate in SLelections. Well, they don’t say much about SLelections at all. No room for democracy in those?
When Veyron, Myg, Romana, Dalien and I were in the skybox discussing the letter a totally freaked out Wrath dropped by. He was so busy screaming communist slogans, we did not notice him bringing his machinima cam along. The first SLelection footage you can find on Wraht Paine’s blog and I trust there shall be more.
After that the letter also reached Erbo Evans who throws his hat in the ring and promises - amongst other - to to put and end to corruption in high places when he’s governor. Looking at him in a business suit, I’m so considering letting him have my vote.
But there are that many strong candidates to concider. Take the Inworld Rezzolutionary Party with Zoe Connoly as candidate for instance: Postponing indefinitely voice in Second Life. Wow! I want that.
In the mean time, my platform is still a blank. Wtf do I stand for?! And I already promised Collin Savon a post as Xcite Linden. *sobs* Meanwhile I’m going to look into some political campaigning tactics.
And to use Myg’s words:
This is satire. That means there is no “real” SL Election. But that doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be one…

Wow! This *is* exciting. So many good ideas. Unfortunately, they’re all wrong except for Romana Wei. To all the candidates, please don’t be angry, it’s tough to admit you’re wrong, but that’s no reason to be hostile. Any concern is meaningless without safety. So after we’re all safe after the long WAR ON DANGER has been won, then we can talk about these other issues you raise or are thinking about raising. Until then, please let us know if you feel unsafe or if you think your neighbor is unsafe or causing DANGER and Romana will make a note of it. However, please make sure that you are verified first. Remember, we have heard your concerns already and are taking action.
I’m the campaign manager for Romana Wei and I approved Alexander’s message.
I have drafted a position paper on the issues of the day, as I realize that my fellow Residents will want to know what they may expect from an Evans Administration. I am sure you’ll be convinced by this that I offer you the true better way of life in SL. Why? Well, as it says on my poster, you can believe me, because I’m always right, and I never lie!
I’m Erbo Evans, and I approve this message.
Message added by Vint as she wrongfully moderated it as ’spam’ before. This was in no way political censorship, just a human mistake.
i’m sure all the residents will go in the true path and vote for PATH.
we have cookies! hehe

I do plan to run, although the “Free Blow Jobs For All” slogan is already taken :(
Perhaps me in full Mistress regalia, “Vote For Me Or Suffer The Consequences!” :)
Or me in “pet mode”, “I’ll Do Anything Anybody Wants Me To, *Anything*”
Ahh, the heady days of serious political discourse are upon us :)
Tiessa, they’ve kept that slogan especially for you!!! It’s all yours! (But the others sound neat too. ;))
Care to comment?
