Posted January 27, 2017 Hello all. As a potential future Governor, I thought it would be a great idea for all of the candidates get together in a group chat somewhere and discuss some political guidelines that we will all follow. Things like no false promises, etc. essentially just some guidelines that we all have to follow in order to be classed as an eligible candidate. In America you have to be an american born citizen and over 18 I believe, and while I know these don't apply here its the same concept. These guidelines can be ignored but it will seriously hinder your chances of becoming Governor. I also want to discuss certain laws. We should decide a set of laws that cannot be changed, for example murder. If you win the election, you must enforce these laws. So for example having a 30% tax wouldn't be one because each Governor can decide what they think will suit the economy, but things like theft should never be allowed no matter who is in charge. Again, you can change these set laws but we as candidates will do everything we can to ensure you only win if you follow these laws and guidelines. We won't include any that there is conflict on, for example maybe 3/10 people don't agree with you having to keep your promises, so that wouldn't be included. Once we have completed these lists and conflicts, I will make a post outlining everything for the citizens so that they know if we are breaking the standards. Let me know who would like to participate in this group discussion and when you are available to do so. Thanks, ~ Joel. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 27, 2017 First off, love the idea. I think it would show the maturity level of candidates to have constructive discussion on guidelines. But here's a quick suggestion. Among these future governors, I think it would be beneficial to have an impartial moderator to oversee the discussion, in order to have a mature and beneficial discussion without going off on a political tangent or arguement, and to stay focused on the goal of establishing basic guidelines. Just my two cents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 27, 2017 Alrighty guys until we get more people involved I think it would be easiest to do it on the forums in a private group chat, however if and when more candidates start to get involved we may need to move to Teamspeak or Discord or something of the like. Ill add you fellows soon, thank you for your interest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have to set it up tomorrow, in the meantime I think more candidates should get on board with this idea. I'll send a link when it's set up 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 28, 2017 https://discord.gg/WYFcp I set this up pretty quickly, I'll improve it and make it prettier later. We should probably hold off until more people join, in the best interests of the discussion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
