ST. KARLSBURG CITY ELECTION

 

 

It has come time for the first election for Maer of the city of St. Karlsburg. The City Marshal's office shall be overseeing the election to ensure efficiency and legality. The future Maer is expect to adhere to the guidelines listed in the new City Charter ((

)) and have a deep understanding of it. With the need to establish the city's system, candidates should declare their candidacy post-haste, and have two saint's days to declare their candidacy and produce a speech regarding their declaration ((reply to this post with both)). ALL residents of Haense are open to run in this election, but will not be in future elections.  The candidates shall be expected to appoint two council-members and live within the Mayoral residence. Best of luck to future candidates!

I, Dorian, am going for Maer.

 

I know all of you want to hear a long and detailed speech but I have only a few things to say. Actually only one thing to say.

 

I will make Karlsburg Great Again.

 

Thank You!

An aged, bearded man would hobble on stage, tapping his cane against the wood for silence among the crowds who have gathered to meet the candidates.

 

"My fellow Haensetians, it was here in Saint Karlsburg, where the noble man serves his King with pride, where the common man comes to sell the fruits of his labor, where the diligent soldier keeps constant watch against enemies, that I was reminded of the amazing courage and diligence of the citizens of Haense, a diligence through which we can build a better Karlsburg for all. And that is why, in this great city named after an equally great man, I, Lukas Vanir, stand before you to officially announce my candidacy for Maer of Saint Karlsburg."

 

Upon finishing his speech, the man would silently step aside, waiting to see if others will step forward.

"Da, vote for the man!" Viktor shouts out

[Guest]

A proud Colborn boy would make his way to the center square of St. Karlsburg, beckoning those about him to give their attention and listen close, for this proud child was on a mission from GOD. "Here-ye, here-ye, listen close and listen willingly." Cassian would start, his six year old smiling face looking out to those about the crowd. "The state of this great city, our home, o'great Saint Karlsburg is in a state of mild misman-management. . ." Cassian could say, struggling to pronounce the word 'mismanagement'. "It is with pa-param-mount joy that I announce my candidacy for mayor of St. Karlsburg. Together, you, I, and all the families of this great Kingdom will come together and unite for the greater good of all people here. Our friends, loved ones, allies, together we stand strong, yet if we bicker amongst each other pointlessly, we shall achieve nothing." Cassian would state, a proud-looking Katherine Colborn helping him along with vocabulary "I, Cassian Colborn, will serve as not only a competent and intelligent leader, but one who is from the people, representing the needs of the people as a whole, I am not a elite, who seeks to serve those who already hold high positions, but I seek to do good for all the common-folk of this Kingdom. Come this election day, vote Cassian Colborn, a representative of the masses."

(( Candidates will have 24 hours to reply on this thread to the questions asked. At the end of the 24 hours Voting shall begin.

@pureimp10 @Luka))

 

 

Cayleb de Redmark comes out on a stage in Siegrad Square, announcing to a crowd as the Candidates flank him, announcing a Mayoral debate.

NOTICE:

ALL NON-KARLSBURG RESIDENTS MUST PAY A TEN MINA VOTING TAX IN ORDER TO VOTE

DEBATE STAGE

 

In the nature of pursuing good-natured policy and transparent ideas from the candidates, a debate shall take place for the candidates to reveal some of their policies before voting starts in a day.

Here are the candidate's questions:

 

 

1. The city recently ratified a new Charter. Offer a general opinion on the Charter. What needs added? What needs changed?

2. Karlsburg is filled with empty homes and a tavern which is currently haphazardly run by the Royal Brigade. How can we fix these crises? Perhaps offer some of your tax and housing policy as solutions.

3. Make a statement regarding general policy and less major issues. Examples include: Pay for the Royal Brigade, how to draw nobles into the city, how city funds will be spent, etc.

4. Feel free to name your running mates for City Steward and Manager. If none are chosen, that is alright, but if they are not chosen by a week after your election, the appointments will be given to the Crown.

You'd see a man step into the crowd, he'd be wearing a blue tunic with some mail underneath.

"Haenestians, haven't we all seen this before?A noble walks into the crowd and speaks of promises which are never fulfilled, while we sit and have nothing to say or do about it.I know I am a knight of Haenese and I proudly serve my realm, but I came from the farms, the streets, the apartments that are comparable to the closet of a noble!We complain about nobility in politics, but we do nothing about.This is our change to the politics that reside in the great city of Saint Karlsburg!We will change it together!We will melt the ice of nobility overpower-meant , to which the sea rises to reaches the mountains!We work the farms with hard labor, while our labor isn't fully recognized for what it is! That is all I have to say, and I announce I am of the people and for the people! You elect me, you elect a new beginning for us all, Ser Brynden Tosali will serve you well."

Pavel of Rothswood stands proudly besides Ser Brynden, cheering loudly for the candidate.

Lukas would raise his voice then, responding to Tosali's accusations on the debate stage.

 

"If I recall correctly, Tosali, you had landed on this continent for two months before becoming knighted for accidentally shooting a dragon. That is not experience, my friend, that is luck. You think I was born with all the pleasures I enjoy today? Nie, I was not. I was born in the frozen woods of Salvus, in the far north of the old continent of Vailor. My papej, Britannus, and my mamej, Emilia, had lost everything to the Dukes' War, to betrayal by people we had considered friends. If not by the generosity of some of the Salvian people, I would not be here today. My childhood consisted of constantly searching for firewood, hiding from bears and wolves, accompanying my papej as he went to hunt for food. Then, I finally came of age, and thanks to the good will of one of our greatest kings, King Petyr, my papej and my brother were able to fight and take back what used to be ours. My fellow Haensetians, if this is not a rags to riches story, then I don't know what is. I know what it means to struggle, I know what it means to go without food, without warmth, without shelter. All you've done is walk with your head held high as you plead for other southern lords to ennoble you."

 

The old man would silence himself then, taking a step back as he waits for a response.
