✧༺ Hello dear Antitheocra citizens ༻✧

The upcoming State Minister election is getting closer and will take place on April 1st.

If you are interested in running in this elections there are a couple of things to consider:

1) In order to run, you have to be a paying senator (no artifacts)

2) You have to write a program and click the check box to confirm you are participating

3) Your programs will be visible for the public eyes from the 15th this month

4) Of course, you can add or edit your program later as well, but keep in mind that you won't be able to make any changes during the last 6 hours prior to elections. It also means you can't apply during that time if you haven't already nor to cancel your participation if you have already applied.

5) If you get elected as SM you will have to be a paying senator during the whole term - 4 months

6) If your senatorship gets canceled for one or another reason, you are losing SM status within 7 days and your state is going to be without SM until the next elections. During these 7 days you can renew your senatorship and continue to be SM.

7) If you are SM you are eligible to participate in PB elections

8) As SM you are also expected to be active and available both for your citizens and other PH members, as well as to do duties that come with the title. Even it might sound a bit too serious, being SM is actually quite fun and enjoyable :)

Tools that goes with SM role:

- As SM you are able to jail citizens in your state for 1 or 3 days

- You receive messages from Bimbo Mailman when citizens from your state get reported (note: you receive profile reports, not forum posts reports, and you don't know who is the reporting player)

- You are able to make pop-up posts in your town hall

- And, probably the most interesting of all, you are able to gift any citizen :) SMs can share gifts for posts/entries in Fashion & Forum contests and their own Town Halls, including 20 last threads in total. Keep in mind that prizes currency are diamonds only. It means, even if you decide to gift ticket or a chest, you need to pay for it in diamonds.

(If you need more info on these topics you can talk to your SM or me. Here are listed basic and most important points.)

Each candidate is welcome to post their program here in this thread when they are ready. The rest of the citizens are welcome to ask questions. Be respectful toward each other. Favorizing or hindering any candidate is not welcome! Showing appreciation or concern is possible without interrupting the natural flaw of candidates' campaigns.

Good luck everyone and have a great week❣

Melpomene

Considering the countdown has started already, it is high time I posted my program for the election:

"Hello, my fellow Antitheocrans!
Here’s Melpomene, your last SM from these past four months. I’m a relatively new (joined about a year ago), yet active user who enjoys contributing to Ximboland both through site politics and shop designs. I log in several times daily, and although my activity on the forums varies, I’m always keeping an eye on the going-ons of the site.

So now, it is the beginning of yet another term, and I’m rerunning for office as SM. This term our state lived through some pretty good times. We had some nice contests (both fashionable and otherwise creative), reminisced about Antitheocran history, and celebrated a few birthdays among other things. Like BL overall, it has quieted down a little in Anti since fall – but we definitely had our highlights!

For the upcoming term, upon election I’d like to keep up with a similar – if better – program by:

♢ Hosting one Antitheocra-exclusive fashion a month

♢ Hosting one additional non-fashion contest open to all states

♢ Rewarding active players registered to the Birthday Board on their birthday

♢ Working with the rest of the PH to come up with yet more fun and useful ways to enjoy the site

♢ Keeping an ear out for any troubles and suggestions from fellow Antitheocrans

♢ Contributing to and encouraging activity on Antitheocra Town Hall

Especially, I would like to focus on that last part of the plan and come up with some interesting ways of cultivating bonds between us. Perhaps this’ll take shape in the form of some interesting polls? Perhaps we’ll have some seasonal tasks and games again? We’ll see if I get elected!

With best wishes,

Melpomene"

I fully encourage competition, and would love it if any other Antitheocrans would like to give running for SM a shot! ^^
