I nominate me.
I would:
1) Restructure the town guard. It is beyond pathetic right now.
2) improve relations with other factions. I have no enemies, and doubt i would provoke angry assasination attempts.
3) I will outlaw telling people dueling in town to stop.
4) I pledge to improve relations with the orcs, and deal with them verbally. Im convinced i can do this.
5) I will buy everone (two) drinks.
The future is bright people. The future is Colin.

I nominate Fooser, because he has been doing his job well so far and I am sure he will continue doing so. He proved to be a solid government force, and he supports the building projects that benefit our city.
I also nominate him because I'm cautious about any candidates whose names are on the Kallahorn list. It came to my attention that Julius plans to implant a governor to take control of the treasury and channel it outside the city. He does not have to run for governor himself, all he needs is put one of his men who happen to be on the citizen list - into office.
Why do I care? I have money invested in Troll's Bane, and i don't want it stolen.

Im sorry that you think this Konrad. I thought you might have known me better. Not everyone in Kallahorn is a mindless puppet of Julius'. I am acting of my own accord, and though i cant speak for everone in the guild, i think most people i have had dealings with will attest to my strength of character. I'm an honourable man Konrad, and the idea of doing what you say would counter everything i stand for.Konrad Knox wrote: I also nominate him because I'm cautious about any candidates whose names are on the Kallahorn list.

The fact is, citizens of Trollsbane, what Mr knox is claiming is nothing short of fantasy. If Julius really wanted control of trollsbane, he could quite easily march in with his stronger allies and take it. He simply does not need to bother with such a plan. Anyway, even if he did want power through political means, i doubt he'd use me. Unless you are calling me a thief, im pretty sure your money will be kept safe.
Truth is folks, im nominating myself because i want to see a change. Fooser and his circle of friends claim that he has done a good job. No doubt hes been a good governor, but i dont think im alone in saying the leadership of this town has deteriorated. We are run by the same type of people, making the same mistakes, over and over again-isnt this giving us a message? Im not a great warrior, or powerful mage, nor do i have any powerful connections. But since when were any of these requirements to be governor?
If you dont want me as governor fine. But i urge the people not to let fooser and his allies shepherd you all into voting one way. Make your own choice.

Julius hasn't taken the town because it wouldn't be very wise, and a decent majority of his members would probably leave on the spot if that occurred (if they haven't already). Not all change is good, I don't consider pools of blood in the shop from dueling a good change. Or talking with orcs like Rugh'To, who was attacking people at random the other day, then ran off to gather more orcs to invade us. By the way, what are your thoughts on being in the same order as criminals like Rugh'to?

The treasury was about 250 silver when I got it. It will be over 1,000 silver today, so let's look at the math on that:
250 - 500 (doubling of town money)
500 - 750 (tripling of original)
750 - 1000 (quadrupling of original)
So it went from 250 silver to 1,000 now (it was actually 1,200 at its peak), and that's even with guard salaries and payments for armory items. According to a couple unsigned writers, I've done all that and apparently stole most of it at the same time, that's pretty impressive.

Be careful Colin, You are close to crossing the line between running an election campaign, and outright Defamation. Proving a point is one thing, But personnel attacks are something else all together. Out of curiosity, if you think the current guard is ineffective, what well you do to change this and make it better?

Firstly I would replace Yusuf. No disrespect intended to him, but in my view he's not up to the job. If taliss wanted the position again then i would give it to him, but if he was unavailable i feel Drathe would make a fine guard captain, given the opportunity. The man worked hard for no reward in the old guard, was rarely paid, and eventually turned against the guard itself. He is skilled enough with a sword, levelheaded, well liked, and would know what problems needed to be rectified.
I'd also have any recruit who missed more than two meetings (without a valid excuse) automatically fired. The dedication among some members is questionable to say the least.

Such notes are always unsigned, since the writers seem to cherish their reputations enough not to attach their names to such stupid words. It always has been this way and always will be.
Though there is a certain someone ... who doesn't like the Knighthood of Gobaith ... and didn't mind going to war with them on a whim in the past ...

The two notes are moved closer. Nothing new is written.
