Stormreach Mayoral Race

[Clankenbeard]

With the election for Mayor of Stormreach fast approaching, a completely unbiased website has been created by the Coinlords to inform the Stormreach populace about the candidates:

Learn about these candidates at: www.MayorOfStormreach.com

Clanky fully supports Harbormaster Zin (oh yeah, and the Coinlords do too), but don't let that sway your vote! Read the candidates' platforms. Listen to their propaganda. Get ready to choose your new leader in these dark times!

Listen to the Jerry King Live interview HERE with Jerry King, Zin, Skrapps, and Winfred Wafford on the DDoCast. There are even rumblings that Fred the Mind Flayer may throw his tentacle into the ring.

Got a candidate for Mayor that (you think) can lead us boldly into the future (better than Zin)? I'm skeptical. Post it here.

My vote is for Fred as the loveable mayor of stormreach.

He will implement a high quality education system and support better schools for all the urchins of the city which will cut down on the dramatic crime rate. I came into the marketplace the other day and saw some poor adventurers running around in their skivvies thanks to these voracious, uneducated youths.

All Hail Fred!

[Strakeln]

I nominate Qwijy and Gtar as co-mayors.

Don't take one or the other... it needs to be a "both or neither" kind of deal, trust me

All Hail Fred!

Write him in!!!
Some anonymous person sent me this....

I want one that can spell. What's a "Cornlord?" It was on the site.

Otherwise, Goodblade has my vote. Guild housing, I am sooo tired of living out of my backpack!

Why are we pretending this is anything other than a figurehead position made irrelevant by the machinations of the various houses and other factions and the over abundance of transient adventurers who won't put down roots and become fully invested citizens?

[bigal4458]

Is Coyle running? I want a leader that jumps haphazardly into battle and doesn't wait for the approval of his party members......

Help help we're being oppressed!!!



PS: Nat Gann for Mayor -- he needs a new job, and he's in touch with the common folk.

That's totally awesome. To whoever had the idea, nice one.

Fred got my vote.

[Kistilan]

Daring. Brave. Charismatic. Responsible. Enigmatic. Professional. Knowledgeable & Fair.

A Citizen Not Unlike Yourself.

Nat Gann: In Tune with the Common Folk.

[Mockduck]

Awesome, Clankenbeard.

And Coyle's "Zerg Party" is no longer allowed to take part in elections ever since the last debacle where his supporters rushed to the polls, voted early, declared victory and took over the Coin Lord City Council before election officials even had a chance to count the results...

It doesn't take a nuculer scientist to figure out that Harbormaster Zin doesn't always pronounce things right on the first take. He mis-stated "Coinlords" as "Cornlords" in his very first promo (which you can listen to on the site). And then he said it wrong a couple dozen more times. So now he's stuck. To change now would admit fault and that is not what a Mayor is all about.

So, let me get this straight. You have no problem with "Bite Jerry's Face Off!" but you see the need to post your disdain over one letter out of place.

WIN WITH ZIN!

What the devil?!?! That is actually a picture of ME from over a year ago kicking the pole out from under Nat Gann! I was told that all copies of it had been destroyed. I paid a great sum to make sure this never resurfaced. Oh well. What's done is done.

Nat used to be very charismatic and was on top of all of the poles. He was all about free enterprise. But then, the market crashed and his platform crumbled. Poor guy found himself without a leg to stand on.

Your catch-phrase seems a bit wordy with the 700 or so adjectives. Maybe you could use an anagram or something. That would be: DBCREPKF (pronounced "Dib-KREP-kif"). There you go! Easy. Now you and Skrapps are on a level playing field.

I think you will have to admit that Nat Gann is a citizen QUITE unlike myself. (What with the "me kicking him" and all.) He is gone now and I am still here saying "WIN WITH ZIN!"

I was going to throw out a nomination for the Jester d'Festivult, but (aside from finding that's one thing I DON'T have a screenshot of) I think there may be residency issues he would have trouble fulfilling.

Therefore, I throw my support behind Fred - for it's better to be behind him, than in front of him...


(Maybe he'll run under the Independent banner??)

Guess what? Clankenbeard HATES Festivult Jester.. I have proof!!!! Look here!!



See? I caught him throwing coal at the poor Jester.. or was it something else????

[Sertrynus]

If guild housing includes a guild bank, then I'm in for GoodBlade!

Ummmm. heheh Well, truth be told.... Clanky may not have been the only one to have done that...

Even as a loyal constituent, one can only take so many twigs before coming a little frayed around the edges.

[Clankenbeard]

If you heard the Jerry King Live! show (taped last Thursday) on the DDoCast Episode 85, you may have gotten your funnybone tickled a little by Skrapps. Who among us hasn't threatened to bite Jerry King's face off once or twice?

But the reality of the situation is that Skrapps DID bite Jerry's face off. "Screenshot or it didn't happen," you say? Looky here...

This little kermudgen is wicked nuts. Do not vote for him. Just Dizza-frabba-don't!

WIN WITH ZIN!

[Mockduck]

So that's what happened to my face. I was sitting there, next thing I know, I'm on the ground with a cleric standing over me, saying, "If you want more than a cure light spell, you're gonna have to pay me for heal scrolls!" I noticed the bite marks, but I hadn't looked in the mirror for a while and figured I was just getting uglier in my old age!

Last time I fought off a dozen Kobolds I just used my fists...maybe Skrapps needs to keep that in mind before picking a fight with a DDO player!

[salmag]

Here is my overview of the candidates:

Nat Gann... missing (how can you vote for someone that hasn't been seen in months)

Festivult Jester... only shows up around the holidays (see Nat Gann)

Skrapps... too hot-tempered (look what he did during the interview)

Lord (?) Goodblade... untrustworthy, scammer (will probably do very well in politics - should be governor of NJ instead)

Harbormaster Zin... blind, doesn't pay attention (all you have to do is Bribe one of his guards and you get into the marketplace, also illegal gambling dens in the harbor, too much corruption on his watch) (another NJ Governor candidate)

Fred... helpful, if not rude (allows your character to fix flaws, seeks player improvement, fairly priced too)

My vote is for...

Fred
