Post by: Haspen on June 10, 2017, 06:48:57 pm
Your President name: Make one that fits a Modern-ish setting.
Your President faction: A name and place on the left/right scale is all I ask for.
Your President primary cocern: Strong Military, Stable Economics, International Reputation, Internal Stability

And that's all, but to start properly we need at least 20 or so votes!

"And here we go, Kathlyn; The National Polling Council has released the official results of the yesterday's vote! Much to the surprise of the politicians, the people of Falconia haven't chosen their President in the 1st stage, first time in sixty six years!"

"It means that next week the people of Falconia will be visiting the polling stations across the country once again, this time voting for 1 of the two candidates with highest percentage of votes: Dave Mann of The Bull Frog Party, and John Doe of the Moderately Moderate Party. They both gained 21% of votes from the Falconian citizens. But who will be the next President of Falconia? And who will gain the votes of the other candidates' voter bases? The race for the Mahogany Desk will be tight!"


2nd Stage of Presidential Elections begins!

You may now vote for Dave Mann of The Bull Frog Party (helmacon) or John Doe of the Moderately Moderate Party (Kashyyk).

Kashyyk and helmacon may not vote, of course, but they're free to try and convince others to vote for them :P

Greetings Falconia!

I, John Doe, am the perfect candidate as I will offer strong and stable leadership for this nation. We understand that people must have freedom,  yet to be given complete freedom leads to debasement of traditional values. Instead, people should have the absolute right amount of freedom. The right amount of support. The right amount of respect.

Vote John Doe for the healthy, respectful amount of freedom relative to traditional values.

I cant decide between their competently different policies on how to build infrastructure.  One wants to finance it with loans and commercial investment, while the other wants to fund it with commercial investment and loans.

Let's go wit-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Wait, what happened.  I think I was so excited by the moderate parties I passed out.

Okay let's see what I voted on-

Ralph Nader?!?! how is that even on the ballot.

Who is Dave Mann you ask?

Dave Mann is a Falconian statesman, author, explorer, soldier, naturalist, and reformer. A veteran of the campaign of 68' he gave his heart and soul on the battlefield for this great country. His time in command gave him the skills and resolve to lead. He seeks to end Falconian isolationism, and take the stage as a true world power.
He seeks to build robust diplomatic relationships, and strong alliances, backed up by a powerful military of our own.
Internally, he seeks to break up monopolies and keep the economy rotating and strong, full of opportunity for the up and coming. He seeks open and unrestrained trade, as outlined in his three point pact.
Mann is also a dedicated conservationist, and seeks to increase tourism and preserve the natural treasures of Falconia through a series of national parks and reserves.   

Dave Mann! The Man, the myth, the Legend! They say he Masterminded the two pronged attack in 69' that ended the war! He once survived an assassination attempt, killed his own assassin, and gave a campaign speech ten minutes later, with the bullet still in his body! He stands up to big business, and stands up for the little guy! He is unafraid of the world, and ready to lead us to our future in it. Dave Mann, for Falconia! Dave Mann for you! He needs your help now, that he may help us all in Falconia! Vote, Dave Mann today!

Sans the blaring foghorns of both parties, this voter paid attention to the details rather than the propaganda.

And BOTH of you are focusing too much on buffing up your candidates! :P
Do it for the people instead!

9 Dave
3 Doe

Minus Kashyy's and Helma's posts. And Ralph Nader.
Although...+1 to Dave because he actually addressed the people in that one line.

Frequent time skips, as a leader takes responsibility for decisions as they come up. Typically expressed as a multiple choice decision process where the most popular one proceeds the story.

"If this is the trend of today, then it seems that Dave Mann will win by landslide. Still, one hour left of the voting, John, everything may change yet, although it is hard to believe that John Doe might recover from such a big difference!"

John Doe seriously considers electoral fraud by registering a bunch of fake accounts just to vote,  but that would be too extreme and against moderate ideology.

Message cut for extremist beliefs outside of accordance with party beliefs

Message cut for not being neutr-

Vote us! Or don't. Either works.

It's typical of the statists that have hijacked our democracy to exclude the Exceptional Party from this election because we allegedly, "did not register a candidate in time".  I'm sorry, I thought this was Falconia!  There is no deadline on democracy.  Sad.  #WriteInHooganJ

You are Dave Mann, President of Falconia!

Now that you were inagurated, let's get away with you, you little head of state and get to the main body of goverment in Falconia: the Parliament!

The Parliament has no say in one thing, that being your policies of internal stability.

2017, Week 1

The border with the neighbouring Owlian republic has seen escalation of racial riots! The true Falconians clash with the Owlian migrants, the two cultures as usual unable to find common ground in politics, familly matters, religion and ecology. The Parliament decides to...

A) Increase security in the border lands.
B) Mark Owlians as criminals.
C) Do nothing.
D) Close the borders with Owlia.
E) Ask the Owlian government to intervene.
