1_Language_1 1671 Share Posted November 7, 2018 〘 Common Man 〙 [!] Antanios Rutledge prepares to speak again, to the duchy he will always faithfully serve. 〘〙〘〙〘〙〘〙〘〙〘〙〘〙 Antanios returned to campaign once again, on his trusty soapbox, having been encouraged on by close friends and family. He stood on top of it, defying Steve’s critical feedback of such a speaking tradition. "My running for Prefect was abrupt and sudden, but it was needed." "Elections are closing in fast, and I hope you all are ready to vote. Do not forget that the last election was a CCP victory, a victory of a party that is beneficial to the sake of Belvitz. People say that one's choices change when it comes to deciding for a community as a whole; they no longer think about what happens to themselves, but rather what happens to the community. I want to represent you, dear Belvitz. I cannae stress enough that this election will change the course of Belvitz for the next five years, and who you vote for determines the future course of our fair duchy. Who you root for will determine the course of our people, both adults and children; will you be satisfied with voting for unknowns like Steve? Do you know well enough of Ostrobor to be satisfied to vote for him?" "Do you know of any of the blood, sweat, tears they might have put into our fair duchy?" "I have not seen any beneficial efforts nor have I seen any good outcomes.” “The opposing candidates talk, yet I have not seen them do anything but talk! The hands of a worker are rough, but the hands of a default talker are soft.” Antanios would hastily pull off his gloves, revealing his rough hands; Hands that endured hard, long work. “These are the hands of builders! They are the type of hands that do not talk, but work.” “Talking did not build our duchy; mere talk did not build the mighty walls of the Empire. Hands, our hands and your hands, work is what built the duchy, and actions are what built the empire walls.” "Do you know what the Priorists seek to do?" They seek to burden trade and culture; these affect the economy and do not encourage more trading or more economic stability. They seek to oppress your creativity, anything outside the Priorist creativity box will be banned if they win. They want to make it where ONLY those residing in Renatus can vote on Imperial matters. “What havoc would this cause?” “When you vote for me, you’re voting for the good values of the CCP.” Values which, in turn: Promote the protecting of you and your children’s health by ending the drug trade within the Empire of Man. Support the protection of your travels within the Empire. As well as promoting the rights of suffrage for every descendant of Horen. Promote free trade and a stable market. “I ought to tell you what I will strive for.” “I want to propose a new type of marketing. Low-Income General Goods. It’s a concept, but I believe it’s a good one. If you make under a certain number of minae each saint’s week, families can be registered as low income, and receive a bit of a fall back to help keep them afloat. It’s hard to claw up a living, and I think it’s necessary to give them a hand in helping them secure a future for them, and their possible children as well. I also want to put in place a reservation system, to protect the landscape around Belvitz, which would also support the market by limiting businesses from scarring and destroying the surrounding landscape to make a quick mina. The land surrounding Belvitz should be protected, and only used with city approval. This is so we can keep Belvitz beautiful, but still expand to fit our needs. This isn’t a perfect concept, but we aren’t perfect people, and I agree it could use some tweaking.” Antanios sighed, something worrying the man. The thought of his people suffering burdened and convicted his heart, it was something he could connect with. “With the recent events of Markev freezing over, I fear that if and when it comes to Belvitz, it will heavily impact the market, especially food. It may make living much harder for the poor, who are already having difficulty trying to survive normal cold fronts in the first place. I am bouncing around some ideas has how to combat that. When I have finalized an idea, I will announce it.” “I am a generous man, and even if these ideas do not work out, I will work to provide for the city like I did during the first freeze in my younger years.” “Look around you, Belvitz!” “Does it really take nobles to decide what the common people need?” “I beseech ye, do’nae forget to vote! It’s your voice, use it!” With that, Antanios stepped off the trusty soapbox, and used his foot to flip it over and bounce it up to his arm. He then went and resided in the tavern, humbly awaiting the results of the upcoming election. 〘〙〘〙〘〙〘〙〘〙〘〙〘〙 “ Remember, when you Root for Rutledge.“ “ You also Root for Adria.“ 〘〙〘〙〘〙〘〙〘〙〘〙〘〙 OOC: Thank you for those who encouraged me to run, I thought this would be difficult and confusing. I really appreciate your help introducing me to LOTC policies, I really love it and I find it fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1_Language_1 1671 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 “Is it fake news to care for the citizens of Belvitz? The very people whose lives you’re sworn to protect?” Antanios frowned, ashamed of the soldier that had promising potential. “It is fake news to not care for our citizens.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antanios is happy to receive feedback, it helps him know what more of the populace thinks. And it lets him know how he might do a better job. “My concern right now is with Belvitz, and its needs. Remember, I said this was a rough concept, a beginning idea upon which requires work and adjustment. A theoretical solution; however, I would be open to consider any suggestions you have, since this idea was based off of similar advice such as yours.” “As well as this, just because a candidate may have shared one value with another party.. does not mean they are the other party. To consider such would be a logical fallacy.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You twist my words and distort their meaning." "I won't go as low as name calling and profanity; my plans are to benefit the people of Belvits, not satisfy the prefecture of different area." Antanios would cross his arms, Belvitz had different needs than Carolustadt; one size does not fit all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s clear the CCP has no actual platform and exists solely now to counter the Priorists even stooping to use their platform when the citizens of the Empire realized the CCP didn’t have their best interests at heart. Tis no shame in admitting you are now a Priorist though. My nephew is one and I voted for the Priorist candidate in Carolustadt. But it’s a disservice to your prefecture to lie about the other party’s intentions especially when they’ve introduced more legislation than your party and have taken the lead in seeking the well being the Empire’s civilians. The CCP has done squat.” Commodus ponders for a moment before finishing. “Save your Watch job, politics aren’t for you Red-Face Rutledge.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
