[ELECTIONS] Mayoral Candidates

[Sandi]

Well that is still unfair.

[AK47]

argo logic

Admins can have an account to roleplay on, if I am not mistaking, Teddy has [WS]EvilTeddy and [WS]Teddy

Maybe I'm wrong, who knows

He's FBI Director on one account and someone completely else on another.  No possible way to treat both as the same person when one has very little ties to the FBI apart from a brother being incharge of it.

Alright, so it's the second admin account thing. I didn't know admins could use it for that reason nowadays, but yeah that is pretty unfair but allowed I guess.

According to original topic there was a rule that "staff members" cannot run for mayor, may I know why this rule has ben removed?

If you're referring to the initial post, it has not been edited since it was initially posted meaning there was no such rule.

Somehow somewhere I read similar "rule" mentioning that admins are not allowed to candidate, however I don't have facts to prove, nvm.

This is the first and only post mentioning rules about candidates and campaigns as this is our first time officially holding elections.

Johan misread somewhere something, just like Dennis did apparently.

The FBI is now running background checks on the candidates.

Your name: Mr. Theodore Rosso II
The city you wish to run for: Las Venturas
Your campaign slogan: A better way forward
Your campaign manager (if applicable) N/A
Any mission statement or short introduction (less than 300 words)

As mayor, I aim to improve activities within the city that'll promote economic growth and stability for all to enjoy.

Note: I am Mr. Theodore Rosso II not to be confused with the FBI Director, Dr. Theodore Rosso II, who is my twin.

So let me get it straight, first you put up rules... then you violate the rules you put with some lame excuse of being allowed to have another account which as far as I am concerned should be used for admin duty ... I don't understand what you are trying to do, but when you state rules, people expect you to follow them and not just force others to follow them, If you are really planning to do that I am going to apply to be a mayoral candidate and roleplay that I have 100M$, whats the difference between your situation and mine? we both broke one rule. but yet I am not going to apply because I myself respect the rules stated, no matter if I agree with them or not.

By the way,Who is going to interview you in the FBI? some fella mate below you in rank? this feels corrupted
I wish you best luck with your campaign

Talk about getting underwear in a bunch, jesus christ people.

Staff are allowed to have two accounts
Those two accounts are not related in roleplay terms
The account with rights is to be used primarily for staff matters and roleplay on the side
The second account, even though it is the same person using the account may not mix things between account; for instance if a staff member was on their non-admin account and a player deathmatches them for instance, they are not allowed to logon to their staff account and punish that player. However if the persons actions disrupt the server then they may do so.

The same goes for this instance, the account can be seen as another individual player; if you are upset about him running for mayor, why don't you apply?
And I do not see how he is violating rules by applying either.

If you want to apply, then make sure  you have enough money to back your campaign, don't just claim you have the money or it will be void.

just make it a clean election, dont boycott no one

It really is unfair, administrators are supposed to simply enforce the rules on the server, not use those rights for personal gain. Nobody else except an admin and a high ranked member of FBI could simultaneously be an FBI director and run for the mayor post... Not only it goes against FBI rules which are clearly stated in the application form (

If accepted in the FBI, you understand and agree to refrain from:
[..]
- Having more than one roleplaying character (exceptions for court);
[..]

) but it also creates a conflict of interest inside FBI, who needs to check those applications, because I don't think anyone wants to deny the FBI director... IMO administration members should be hold responsible to the same rules and expectations as normal players if they are supposed to enforce them. If you're allowing admins to have more than one RP characters, allow that for everyone.

I wasn't sure before but now you made it more clear than my reflection in the mirror... admins get privileges that normal player don't, having two account has always been prohibited for everyone except for admins that have been allowed to have another account ONLY to get a break from their admin duty and have some fun in the server, I am not against this, I actually support this, admins deserve a break off duty to have fun but why use both account for different purposes of roleplay while others can only use one account for one roleplay character, he broke the rule no matter how you try to explain it, it all sum up to that he violated the rule that he himself stated clearly, You can't be a member of law enforcement.
Anyways doesn't matter the main question that has been ignored is who is going to review his mayoral status? his "twin" who is a high rank not sure which exactly... but considered one of the highest rank of FBI or his fella FBI mates who are below him in rank, no matter what you say the answer is curroption...
I don't like this new attitude admins gaining this days, you're same as us, admin duty is just a DUTY not a key that opens the door to whatever you desire

Your name: =AV=Salmonella (Salvatore Monella)
The city you wish to run for: Las Venturas
Your campaign slogan: Argonath Awakes
Your campaign manager (if applicable): [WS]Frank_Neville (Frank Neville)
Any mission statement or short introduction (less than 300 words):

Mr. Salvatore Monella is aged 59, was born and raised in a town in the middle of Bone County that goes by the name of Fort Carson. Salvatore, whose ancestor migrated out of Italy into the United States of Argonath before the civil war, always knew he wanted to be a civil servant. He finished sheriff training aged 21, and was a deputy in Fort Carson for a year. Soon thereafter he felt that the quiet town of Fort Carson no longer needed him, and requested to be transfered to Los Santos, where he rose to the rank of SAPD Sergeant in the 80s. Through an internal application process, he was eventually transfered to the United States of Argonath Army as a Captain, in the lure of the cold war. Eventually he became what most people nowadays remember him as: General Salvatore Monella. Having retired from law enforcement two years ago, Salvatore now wishes to serve the citizens of Argonath in a different department, after founding the National Socialist Argonath Labor Party, more suitable for his age.

While you guys are here giving your energy for a candidate, why not start riots in-game and not vote for him?
