Politician Archive

Major thanks to Vandessa, Riis, and famousFATWOOKIE for the encouragement Your support means a lot to me, as you all are ex or current mayors of notable metropoles that have done and is doing a *great* job with your city.

Given the opportunity, I would be honored to serve this community and let our voices be heard. Bajeezusdida great job, and hopefully my voice is loud enough to speak for the politician community as he had.

from prelaunch's post:

Is there a point?

there is... I've been trying to raise awareness on bugs from professions I'm familiar with, and so far I've received *some* responses. Some of these things will take time to fix, and with a correspondent your chances of being heard increases. communication might be slow, but it does happen.

4: Any corespondant would have to show a photograph of him or herself so that we can see they have a big hard head that can stand the impact of contantly banging it against the wall without losing consiousness.

I have a dent on my skull from a chair that fell on my head... does that count?

To answer your question:

A good game should NEVER require a player to leave the game to get what he or she needs to play.

The forums, mapping tools, citizen lists, etc. are all well and good, but are a failure of the system to provide the player with the tools they need.

A good player is denoted by passion, not technology.

I am not doubting your passion, and since your name is not offensive to me, and you don't seem to be one of Thunderheart's "friends," I wouldn't mind you being correspondent either. Please don't take my comment as a personal attack or some such, I was just answering your question.

Well I'm gonna vote for Pappi

I may be partial but she has been a strong peace-maker on test and a proven politician on TC.

I agree with you, under ideal circumstances this would be the case, but the politician profession is operating under far less than ideal circumstances currently, and we mayors need any help we can get. The better our out of game tools and the better they work together, the better we mayors will be able to do our jobs and that is the primary goal. This of course does not replace in game systems, but any integration that can be reached between in game systems and out of game tools would at least be a step in the right direction, and would be something that has never before been done in an MMO.

I'll throw my support behind Pappi. I've met her with my char on test and was impressed. The city of New Unity seems to be a strong location and only getting better and I'm sure that the mayor has at least a small reason for this ( )

Plus being on test center already it would make things easier to test as they get added. I doubt it would be simple to start a new metropolis on TC and one shouldn't strongarm your way into an existing city just to be able to try new things.

I'd like to toss my hat in the ring for this.

I am mayor of Vodo-Siosk (currently level IV)for ever, I have fallen victem to most of our various bugs and have worked through them.

My job gives me a lot of free time where i can post during business hours. Im sure every one of my citizens can vouch for me. I'll be checking the forums most of the morning and afternoon tomarow, feel free and ask me some questions.

So far it is 5 vs 5 between Haji and Pappi.

This is actual votes from other posters and not the person proposing/accepting themselves being thrown in this race (incidently this is why it is just between these 2 since the others haven't gotten any "seconds" to give them a vote) if I'm missing any when I skimmed the thread feel free to point out my idiocy.

I fully support Hajihill as the new Politician Correspondent on the SOE forums. Hajihill has shown a great deal of interest and concern about the way the Player City system operates and he is committed to making improvements to make it better. His dedication to the City of Elysium on Corellia, Starsider Galaxy has proven that he has what it takes to see things through to the end. The amount of energy and enthusiasm Hajihill has put into Elysium as its current mayor (Archonia D'Syraculle) is exactly what the Politician Correspondent position demands and he is willing and able to do it.

I have a lot of respect for Hajihill and recommend him wholeheartedly.

Obeta, Citizen of Elysium, Corellia, Starsider Galaxy

I've been playing this game since beta with Haji and have always had respect for the way he handles situations. I feel that he would be an extremely effective correspondent for the Politican community.

Hajhill has proven themselves very good at handling situation in their city, I vote for Hajhill!
