Why do we need $1,000,000 to fund our campaign? Will there be script-support for it?

Realism, campaigns cost anywhere from tens to hundreds of millions of dollars. The 1,000,000 concept I'm assuming is to mimic the cost effectiveness of how it is to run a campaign for a political position while still remaining realistic to the current state of the Argonath economy. Mind you all of this can be raised via fundraising and sponsorship as well.

Exactly this:

You do not need to pay this $1,000,000 to anyone, you just need to have it and be willing to commit it to your campaign. This is used to show you are willing to dedicate a lot to your cause. It is also the funds that'll be used to pay your campaign staff, campaign advertisements, and holding official conferences.

Keep in mind, based on my own understanding as well.. the 1,000,000 is just a base starter price. If you are willing to invest a larger amount of money than that into your campaign you are more than willing to do so. This is a unique way to schedule more rally events for political support and broadcast more advertisements than your competitors.

campaign advertisements, and holding official conferences.

I was thinking these would be with payment to script. Thanks.

I was thinking exactly the same

Nevertheless, goodluck to anyone trying. Beware, we have tomato torture for corrupt mayors.

He started doing criminal activities, did he?

[KhornateMonkey]

Hopefully we won't be all serious serious and keep campaigns like this

Oh yes, the Agency has some special treats in store for corrupt politicians.

[Drix]

I could run if i had 1mil 

[Mr. Goobii]

That's basically Donald Trumph, deep serious man!


However, this is really awesome.

QA: We'll be ready to test and insure that there is no bugs whenever it comes in our hands!

[SkyHawk]

I actually hope the individuals that do decide to run make promo videos like the one listed above, definitely be something different. With mapping texture abilities or even mod creators that we have here, we could sell advertisement space on billboards as well.

People that are innovative and put effort into their campaigns are the one 's most likely to succeed and get votes from players.  I'd like to see little promotional videos with the good old GTA Humor like above.
