A man stands high on stairwell, overlooking the now growing audience that gathers at his feet. He quickly scans the audience and clears his throat, which silences the crowd.

Good day citizens of Regalia,I stand before you today to announce that I shall be running for Oligarch of the military district! I recognize the Military district is one of, if not, the least known and used districts throughout the grand city of Regalia. I plan on turning the Military District into something much larger and more magnificent, and to bring glory to its name! If I am elected to the Oligarch position of the military district, I promise you, the citizens of Regalia, I will do everything in my power not only to improve the Military districts, but to Expand on and improve the entire city of Regalia!

the man takes a quick pause before he continues

I plan on accomplishing much if I am elected oligarch. A few of my many Ideas for the city of Regalia include expanding the ports, and allowing Factions to dock their ships along the Regalian cost! I plan on raising a Regalian guard, to jail all of the vampire scum that lurk in our streets! I plan on lowering the taxes, and making homes more affordable to those that are struggling to make silver! And I also plan on listing to the needs of the Regalian people, and doing everything in my power to get the people the change that they need, and give them the voice that they deserve!


Non RP part:

Plans I have for the Military District and the City of Regalia in general include:

  • Expanding the Port: I have heard many players ask for and play at the idea of having player-owned boats within the Regalian port. I have considered this idea, and would love to expand upon this concept and make it into a reality.
  • Regalian Army: As oligarch of the Military district, I would strongly fight for and be in favor of a Regalian Army / Guard used for cleansing the streets of Thieves, Vampires, and to put a stop to any out of control drunken brawls in the alleys.
  • Vampirism: I, like many of the other Oligarchs, intend to put a stop to the wretched disease of Vampirism. I believe vampires should be banished from our holy lands of Regalia, and any vampires found who return to Regalia or directly worship MrsBaver should be publicly executed.
  • Expansion: I strongly support and would encourage the expansion of Regalia, and I would push to see more built outside of the city walls, such as Farms, Lumber mills, and even larger Estates. I am also in full support of Mecharic's Idea of a Farm district.
  • Voice of the People: I, as an oligarch, would always be open to the ideas of any citizen, be it elf or human, noble or peasant. I will listen to any ideas that are brought to my attention, and consider bringing them to the other Oligarchs (as long as it isnt too absurd :P).
  • Military District: I have traveled through the Military district quite a few times now and noted how small and plain it can seem to be compared to the other districts. I would like to add more decorations to the Military district, and give it just as much of a prestigious look as its name bears.
  • Events: With many immigrants flowing through Regalia, I would like to hold many public events and contests to keep Regalia a very lively and active city.
What I would ask from all of those that support electing me into the Oligarch position, is a small donation, as I am not the richest man, but If i can raise enough money to be elected, I strongly believe I can help, along with your ideas, to make Regalia into an even greater, grander city, than it already is.
 
Rozzelyn stands at the back of the crowd, staring Grid down. To think one of his own legionnieres would condemn his kind.
 
"Bah. Frankly, I prefer Mecharic. He doesn't condemn my kind outright. He actually prefers safety during the situation other than a preemptive strike. He feels almost exactly the same on all other issues. That was make or break for me."

((mech is running for common district, im running for military :P))
 
Well, how much money do you have currently? 9th is a good friend of auxillian so I will probably donate.
 
Fair enough, you have a long way to go so I'll donate 5-10 silver or so. Send me a mail or pm and I'll donate whenever I'm online. Good luck![DOUBLEPOST=1361916855][/DOUBLEPOST]Fair enough, you have a long way to go so I'll donate 5-10 silver or so. Send me a mail or pm and I'll donate whenever I'm online. Good luck!

thank you very much sir :)
 
I support you Grid while I *looks at Rozzelyn* don't entirely agree with your views on vamprism I most certainly agree with you on the Ideas for a military (which I will definetly be signing up for) and that of a farming district (which I would also join) anyways you have me vote and support as I believe I have already donated to you in game ;)
 
I simply find the whole concept amusing that, if you were to get this position and ban vampires, they would just be gone for good.

She raises her hands and opens them quickly

Poof! Just like that! Ha! That isn't how it would happen, and we both know this. And "Concur" your city? A bit paranoid there, aren't we? If you really want to do something, confine them to the Under City.

I never said they would all be expelled. I would do what I could, however.
and It isnt paranoid because I was debating on this topic at spawn and got chased around by at least 10 vampires for believing in the church.
 
Well, I think a race would do that if you talked about trying to port some of them off!

And, enlighten me on what you would do: How would you decide who gets to stay or who gets to go?

well, I would offer to cure the vampires or ask them kindly to leave our holy city.
those who refuse would be taken by the Regalian Guard
I think that is giving them a fair enough chance to change their mind. only the stubborn ones will stick around and pick fights.
 
And, I ask again, why not just designate all vampires who do not wish to leave their homes to the Under City? Would this not be the best way to deal with the situation?

As I said in my first post, I respect the voice of the people. If that is what the community wants, that is the action I shall take.
 
Favoured glares at Rainbow. "You want him to send vampires to the Undercity? What better way to start a infection in this city? The dark disease will spread uncontrollably down there!"
 
Ikorolch stands in the crowd clad in a dark hooded robe obscuring his face, and listens to Gridiron's public announcement attentively. He produces a quill along with a scrap of parchment from his satchel. He then proceeds to hastily scribble something onto the long list already present. Shortly thereafter with his task accomplished Ikorolch silently disappears back into the crowd.

((These have basically nothing to do with the military district though?))
 
I will support you in your campaign.

- World Conqueror Legate Artilles of the 9th Legion.
 
Just added 2 more ideas to my original post.
also, I am still in need of donations, so if you support my ideas, and have some spare silver, the donation would be gladly appreciated ;)
 
I could donate 10s for now maybe more when Ill make more money brother :)
 
Out of all the applicants, I think you are the best so far. Ridding the world of vampires is something that needs to be done, and therefore I will be supporting you.
