Please provide a brief on your campaign topic or political platform that we can post in a neutral area. It must be more more than 120 words: I've been active in other regions and have some experience as a minor officer. I have experience with NationStates and will work to satisfy the needs of the members who will elect me. I'm conservative but not fascist.

So, Cardecion, what are some of the things you's like to do as leader of the region? And why did you decide to run for three offices? (I'm asking the same to Xanxabara).

[Dalmato-Croatia]

What makes you a better choice than Xanxabara?

[Basileus Romanus]

I think he might be a better choice because he isn't as bossy as Xanxabara! But, seriously, Card, what about your time resource issues? I remember you declined the foreign ministry spot when Acryland left because you wouldn't have enough time...?

[Ozbek]

I don't know that he's a better choice. He's got some things posted here and he hasn't been on lately to answer. We have to have a leader that checks in more often.

[Dragos]

To Ozbek = You never know what happened. He could have some work or family issue that is a coincidence.

To Cardecion = We need some more guidance on how to keep people updated and interested in the region. What are ideas you have to help to do this?

[Marzano]

What are your thoughts on roleplays?

[Cardecion]

Hello All! Sorry I've been out for a bit. RL work issues kept me away. I hope I can answer your questions satisfactorily.

I think I'm a better candidate than my worthy opponent because I've had regional officer experience in other regions I've been part of. I know Xanxabara has some experience with this too. I think her style may be a little over the edge. As entertaining as she can be, entertainment does not get the job done. I've debated about taking this responsibility on thinking I wouldn't have time to do it. I think we've got some good members on here who really want to make this better. In the past administration, I don't think enough time was spent promoting the region and creating interest in roleplays. These are really important and is the main part of what we're doing here. What I'm doing now is roleplay. Trying to figure out what everyone wants is hard. We just have to keep trying different things while giving direction and paying attention to suggestions and new ideas. That's what leadership is about.

REALLY You've got some oversized cajones, don't you!

As the main part of the "past administration." I take MAJOR exception to your statement. We did more than you'll ever know to build the region. Sure, we don't have the 200 members we hoped for. But, we started off with three people, then another two, and then another four or five long before you came along. And of the total posts on here (that you may not be able to see) of 3000, how do you think or why do you think we got those. They ain't all mine.

[Cardecion]

Aw come on, Bas! You know you pretty much let stuff go when you were buidling the Alliance up and then recently you've pretty much fell asleep at the wheel. Ok maybe some of that was the interest level of members who wanted to do things but wouldn't take the first step. But honestly, what guidance have you offered lately to help the region out? I guess you need not answer that because this is about the candidates not about those in office. It's nothing personal, and I know you know that.

[Ozbek]

I don't think you really answered the question about the roleplay part. You say they're important but you don't say what you'll do about it.

[Letor]

He answered it but he did not answer it. He is a real politician!
