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

  1. My name is Equinox_Boss and I'm running for EMC President 2019.

  2. Note: election results will be public, but names won't.
    Promises made about releasing a ton of promos, rupees, likes, etc are NOT true and just pretend. It's a mock election with pretend promises. Only one promo will be released from this event.

  5. Oof, that's very short notice for an event that both includes consideration and writing! Unless that's intended as a 'gimmick', I think that was a mistake. The more people able to participate the better, right? And some people might not even see the message in time, let alone have the opportunity to respond. ;)
  6. It is cause for celebration that our Empire’s Imperial Staff recognizes the rewards of representation and called for elections. While presidential predecessors proclaimed platitudes such as “It’s the economy stupid”, “Tear down this wall!” and “Read my lips, no new taxes!”, emperors desire more than Axis of Evil advocates, Wall Worshipers, or even Hopeless Health Insurance salesmen. Showing deference to Polar Bears proves prudence, however leafy, organic, and naive new deals are not needed. Our Empire cannot be made great by lack of tax returns, incomplete birth certificates, or administrative shutdowns.

    The Duck Mining Coalition Party has a fine reputation for feathered fellowship, fiend fighting, and fun friendly foolishness. Their modest nests, diverse outposts, and pond presence are seen across all frontiers, ends, wastelands, and nether regions of our servers. As a member of the Grand old DMC Party, it is with great humility that I announce my candidacy for President of Empire MineCraft.

    The Presidential Promo I promise to provide, reminds us as emperors that we are all Puppets of our Players. The magical Marionette’s Feather transports its wielder to the Temple of the Marionette whenever they quaff an exceptional enchanting potion. Whatever they may be doing, whoever they may be with, or wherever they happen to be swimming when their potion of fire resistance expires, this promo provides an escape allowing puppeteers to complete chores, homework, or daydreams.

    When a decade old duck mentored me in mining methods most meaningful to our empire, I never imagined what a wonderful, wacky, world I’d wander around in. Now in my quest to be elected I ask all feathered friends to summon your grass roots canvassing capability and promote what is of primary importance.

    Carconductor for President!

  7. My name is 607 and I'm running for EMC President 2019.

    Platform:
    Naturally, the other candidates whose speeches you have read focused on the game Minecraft while talking about the EMC community. While the Minecraft server is certainly very important to Empire Minecraft, I think it's been getting enough attention, and could not be doing much better.
    There is another very important part of Empire Minecraft though, which does have a lot of room for improvement: you are using it right now!
    If I am elected president, my goal will be to update the forum. The forum is running on XenForo, but a very old version of it. Updating will be hard because of the various hacks done to the software for the purpose of EMC, but it will be worth it!
    • Most importantly, updating the forum should make it possible to list someone's threads again. This has been impossible since March first, it has been almost a year!
    • Besides that, the newer versions have draft-saving built-in. You won't ever lose your post again when the page refreshes or you click the wrong button!
    • After the update, Aikar will feel more comfortable developing new and much-requested features to the forum, because he won't have to worry about the update anymore!
    However, I do know that many people have been wishing this update would never happen, because of the potential to screw things up. But I will take the uttermost care that every single change is carefully considered! This means you will not have to worry about
    • Extra reactions, or a dislike button
    • Automatic embeds and hyperlinking
    • Removal of the classic XenForo emoticons
    If I am elected for president, we can make the forum up to date again, while keeping everything you've always loved about EMC!

  11. My name is Bitemenow15 and I'm running for EMC Overlord 2019.

    Platform: I'm a firm Proponent of violent pacifism with open ever expanding borders. You should vote for me if you believe in bigly made plans and HUGE benefits. If I was your supreme leader everyone gets ice cream every day.
  12. These are from my own collection so I fully intend to do this but only If I win. Remember people, liking my post will have been in vain if you don't also vote for me, don't let this great opportunity for free stuff go by.

  13. If I don't win I will endorse Windy cause he helps so much on EMC. What would we do without him.
  14. Thanks SkeleTin007
  15. I don't know if you thought I was being serious.

    My name is Otus, and I am the soon to be Potus,

    As leader of the Resubican and Democraft parties at both the same time, I will unite them together and announce the name of our voters as "gamers" :cool:

    I will push to end a large number of dead memes that are distributed, making the meme cycle fresh, new and exciting. I will start taxing Dead meme emissions and getting rid of outdated fossil memes.

    I will also be making Gaming_Commander and Windy_Lava President if I become the Potus. They will have to do rock paper scissors to decide who gets the presidency though.

    I will also sponsor a free promo trade, allowing free trade of promos throughout the empire, and the construction of an in-game auction house. I will also automatically make it 1.13 and 1.14 at the same time.

    Vote for me, if you don't you miss out on a huge opportunity for freedom.

  16. Hello, my name is nosnhojhtiek and I would be honored to run for the 2019 EMC Presidential Race.

    Platform:
    In the midst of chaos on our political environment, our American democracy has been threatened or subject to debate. So, with the title that has been trusted to uphold this democracy, I would first like to state that I am open to listen to your opinions, my fellow imperial citizens, as well as share my own ideas. As your president, I would work to build and improve our community. I would start with the creation of custom staff built dungeons scattered across the wild and the wastelands for players to band together and raid, filled with custom mobs and valuable loot unique to the empire. As well as this I would also advocate for a questing system where players and imperial citizens can accept for rupees and other rewards depending on the level and difficulty of the quest. But, to uphold the empire’s community and sense of togetherness, players will have the option to accept multiplayer quests where more that one player is required to accept the quest (maybe group quests where if a group accepts a quest, the members will receive group bonuses). Guilds or clans could also be added as a system similar to groups, but larger and more permanent (would have a name and a command to join as well as a leaderboard, disconnecting will not remove a player from the guild/clan). I would say make EMC great again, but EMC is already great in many ways. But as president, it is my job to strive towards higher greatness and to work with the community however I am able. To be president means to make EMC greater.

  17. Just letting you two know, you missed the deadline to submit your platforms (Feb 16th @ 11:59 PM EMC Time)

  18. I am NOT running for EMC president. I missed the deadline, WOOT!

    If I was doing so, I'd let you all know that I do not know Ann, nor have I ever kicked her. Stop mispronouncing my name :p
    I strongly support Public Wild Utilities (PWU). I may have spent far too much time on EMC building and running PWU. This is why I am on PWU VACATION. I'll get back into it this summer.
    I am old and cranky, and love MC death. Let's all go out to the waste, summon 5 withers and turn on diff 10. To the question "cake or death?", my answer is BOTH! :D
  19. This goes against EMC rules by bribing for likes. Therefore you will not be doing this either way.
  20. I wonder why so many people are supporting Windylava...
