[EVENT] President for a Day!

Discussion in 'Empire Events' started by Krysyy, Feb 15, 2019.

  1. Hey krysyy, can you please clarify who gets the mentioned promo, is it just candidate who get them or everyone, regardless or activity in this event?
  2. My name is Storm_ily and I'm here to announce I'll be running for EMC President 2019.

    Platform: I believe in the strength of community and kindness to others. I hope to end the staff shortage and make EMC an even more fun and safe place to be. I try to help others as much as possible, and would encourage others to as well. I hope to make past community events return more often and have the community interact more with eachother, thus building a stronger bond together. You can find me building at my outpost or helping out friends and newcomers on SMP3.

    Together, we can help EMC to become a stronger, friendlier, and more fun place to be!
  3. Hi everyone, my name is Runningrhino. I've been playing EMC for almost 7 years and I'm running for EMC President 2019.

    My three major points are such:
    1. Increasing the EMC player base through outreach and referral movements. These include referral contests on a more regular basis, bring your friend to EMC day, and more log-in bonuses.
    2. Improving cross-server relationships, increasing communication, economics, and friendship between players on different servers. Many people are quite closed off on only their SMP, therefore, events and opportunities that bring players together that might not normally interact with each other. This includes things like pairing up with someone on another SMP and seeing what their daily routine on EMC is. Another event is that of doing an EMC games type event where instead of competing for your server you compete with people from other servers. i.e. SMPs 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 compete against utopia, 2, 4, 6, and 8. A final example would be a pvp competition along the same lines as the EMC games competition, however, in this version teams are pairs. These pairs are meant to initiate friendship and communication with players from other servers.
    3. Make Minecraft fun again. Create ways to increase community engagement using features that we all know and love but often forget about: mining, building, farming, and more. More mining events, more build battle events, farming competitions, design competitions, and mob killing competitions.
    I appreciate everyone's time for reading my ideas and I hope to be able to serve you all as the EMC president 2019.
    If you have any questions about my ideas or suggestions of any sort feel free to pm me or find me in-game, I spend a lot of time on SMP2 and SMP8.

  10. My name is BTHarrold98 and I am running for EMC President of 2019

    Platform: What i'd believe to be fair is all SMP server players on a regular basis hop around servers to introduce themselves new or old. We get new players day and day out and as much as we possibly can always make people feel as welcomed as possible, as i've been awhile for a couple years coming back the amount of welcome back and nice messages i've had has been surreal. I love the changes, we all need to keep up the positive energy and enthusiasm EMC has. I would like to think as a whole community and a team we would all like this to be the same, something small but in the long run it will grow and more and more people talk about it the word will get out and it will be amazeballs. The events that are hosted are great, but something as small as this can make a huge different. please vote for me BT and we as a team will progress together. (Would love to hear some responses and feel free to DM me to have a catch up.)
  11. I'm ocelot3101, and I approve this message.

    We've had people say they're going to build a wall. But that's un-EMCian. What we need is a lava wall. No, what we need are lava walls. We need lava walls around every Frontier Spawn Outpost. Why? They'd look pretty cool. I'm willing to make compromises. We can encase them in glass to avoid harming players. We can have gates at each cardinal direction. We don't even need to charge people to use the gates.

    I also support releasing Dragon Tombs before 2022, but that's nothing compared to the lava walls.

  12. Hi I am SkeleTin007 and I am running for EMC President.

    (Platform) I believe in smp equality and fairness and introducing the new players into EMC. We need to bring much positivity into EMC because positive reactions can make EMC a better place for old and new players alike. I remember when my first day I was welcomed in warm arms and I want to bring that feeling back into EMC. If we all work together as a whole we can make EMC a great place for players to enjoy. I also believe teamwork makes the dreamwork and we can do anything if we put our minds and hearts into EMC. I will always love the staff, the events, and overall the people that make EMC a wonderful experience. And in conclusion, a vote for Skele is a vote for a positive experience that can make EMC a positive place for old and new alike. Thank you.
  13. Hello! I am jacob5089. I've been a member of the server since January 2012, and I'm running for EMC president 2019.

    During my over seven years as an active player of the EMC community, I’ve been able to see firsthand just exactly what works and what doesn’t. From the start, EMC has never been a server where it’s every player for themselves. Rather, communities have always formed. Whether it be the Last Light Outpost, one of the largest and long-lasting wild communities on the server, to a small wild base, thriving communities can always be found.

    As president, I would encourage the developers to focus on increasing this sense of community. Wild Empires have been a long anticipated feature that much of the community has looked forwards to. By expediting the release of this feature, players would be able to form wild communities the likes of which have never been seen. Traditionally, players have been forced to choose between the frontier or town, which often causes them to miss server wide events as they aren’t in the same dimension where it is taking place. With the release of the Empires feature, no longer would players have to worry about missing events. They would be able to teleport to and from their wild community, to events that feature the community of the whole server.

    To further this sense of community, I believe that a cross-server chat should be created and implemented. Through doing this, players would be able to form connections and make friends no matter what server they are on.

    Overall, the most important thing for EMC is fostering connections between players of all different backgrounds. EMC has been an amazing place for me to grow up with and experience over the past seven years. I’d like to pass that sense of enjoyment onto the next generation of players, and I hope you’ll help me realize that dream.

    Thank you.
  14. My name is willies952002 and I hearby declare that I am running for EMC President!

    Platform:
    Recently, I've noticed that the EMC community is slowly starting to slip away from what it once was; this bothers me. More and more do I see players joining, just to leave shortly after completing the tutorial, most likely feeling unwelcome and left-out as not many players welcome them into the community and offer a helping hand. As a long-term player, I believe that everyone should be treated fairly and equally, no matter where they hail from, what their minecraft skin is, their skill level when it comes to various tasks, nor what their preferred style of game-play is. All players across the Empire should feel welcome and encouraged to be a part of the community, keeping it strong for years to come!

    If you believe in what I stand by, please don't hesitate to let the community know who you
    support!

    I have decided to leave the race for president to support a friend of mine in their race. In lieu of voting for me, give your support to WindyLava o/
  15. My name is Windylava (SSRCcorp = Alt) and I'm running for EMC President 2019.

    I have played on EMC for 7 years. I am the President of the SMP2 Supportive Reinvestment Corporation (SSRC).

    I have used all this for the purpose of helping people on SMP2 and beyond. When I first created SSRC it was nothing more than a construction company until the great collapse. EMC’s population collapsed. SMP2 went from being full to dead in a month. I came to the realization that SSRC was nothing without the community and from that day forward everything changed. My soul purpose for the last 6 years has been to invest in the community and help people have fun. From jeopardy to construction projects, providing jobs, to stocking megamalls at prices below market, and building a horse stadium for horse races.

    I have always put the community first, even when it meant public ridicule and shame. I stood up for those who just wanted to have fun. Only on EMC could I create something like SSRC and I want to ensure that others will have the same amazing and honestly life changing adventure that I have had here.

    NEW PLAYERS
    As your president I’ll put your ideas first. You will have a voice and I will help make sure to increase new player retention. I will promote new player awareness and remove the frontier teleport at the end of the tutorial.

    EVENTS AND ECONOMY
    I will work to bring more events to the masses such as races, jeopardy, battle royale, build battles, and Shop of the Week promotions on the home page!

    1.13/1.14
    Finally, we need to promote developers and get EMC to 1.13 and 1.14 ASAP!

    Just as SSRC’s slogan states “United we build, together we thrive
  16. you should all vote for this man because i believe in his cause and thats good enough reason for you all to believe in it too.

  18. I have a bad feeling about my status as of right now, but carry on Comander, carry on!
    Equinox_Boss and Windylava like this.
  19. I cannot tell a lie... I had a dream!

    Unfortunately when I awoke it slipped away as dreams will oft do. Likewise as a foreing national i dont feel qualified to run .... HOWEVER !....

    I hearby pleadge my allegience to the flag of emc, and with my soon to be ample free time promis to lend my wholehearted support to the president elect and cabinet.

    Long Live the Empire!
