Section 3 - State Administration

We truly believe everyone in the state cabinet will keep performing well for the ultimate success of the state. As of now, we do not plan on dismissing any cabinet members. We plan on supporting the cabinet and making sure cabinet members’ needs are met. We believe that the cabinet is a very important part of the executive branch and the overall Firestone government.

Section 4 - Goals and Plans

Here are some goals and plans that we will strive to achieve if elected.

Reforming RICO

Remove or heavily change the RICO act. Criminal Organizations are demotivated when they are indicated as a criminal organization due to law enforcement officials having the right to charge them for racketeering (800 second felony) whenever they break any law that is arrestable which ruins the game experience for both criminals and law enforcement officials and military officials. Without active criminals, there is little action for law enforcement officials and military officials which limits the role play in the county. Bettering the experience for everyone helps bring activity into the game and makes everyone happier which is what we are aiming for. This is a game, not real life. We are here to have fun.

Executive Press Office

Create and enforce a quota for the Executive Press Secretary to host in-game or Discord voice chat press conferences so that citizens and the media can have a chance to publicly criticize and suggest ideas to the Executive Government. Hosting in-game press conferences can also improve in-game activity and create a role-play opportunity for different businesses, citizens, and the Firestone government to better the experience for all players and parties. Hosting press conferences is also better for the Firestone community because of the government interacting with its citizens and media instead of just posting a document that rarely anyone reads.

Foreign Relations

We plan on attending foreign events and encouraging Firestone citizens to do so as well to better relations with foreign states/nations. We can show good foreign relations by working to build strong and positive relationships with other states, and by using diplomacy and cooperation to address domestic challenges and promote foreign peace and stability. Having good relations with foreign states/nations also makes the Firestone community safer due to the peace around it. Having good relations with other states/nations additionally creates more role-play opportunities for the Firestone Department of State and foreign state departments.

Businesses

We believe that the Firestone private sector has little attention. Our administration plans to involve businesses in state wide role-plays and executive government role-plays. We plan on heavily including Firestone businesses in everything we are able to so that they get the attention they deserve.

Citizens and State Issues

We believe that listening to citizens about the state’s issues is vital in a successful administration. We will consider all suggestions from citizens and create polls on the more controversial suggestions. We believe that citizens’ voices count and are essential for the improvement of the state.

Section 5 - Remarks

Thank you all for taking the time to listen to our vision for the Firestone 2023-1 gubernatorial election. We believe that, together, we can create a brighter future for our community. As Governor and Lt Governor, we will work tirelessly to improve the game for all players and to address the key issues that matter most to you. We are confident in our ability to lead and to make positive changes, and we are committed to serving the community with integrity and dedication. I hope that you will join me in this journey and support us in our campaign. Together, we can make Firestone the best it can be.

Signed,

Great question! My Lieutenant Governor candidate holds relevant experience despite it not being state-level. I think that he is very competent and qualified.

He is a member of the Department of Public Safety and the Department of State and has held multiple county and municipal positions. Unknown is an old community member that knows what hes doing.

Do you have more of a comprehensive plan to help get the private sector prosper a bit more? The roleplaying aspect and “supporting” response is always too generic in nearly every gubernatorial bid.

I SUPPORT!!!

Our administration plans to involve businesses in state wide role-plays and executive government role-plays. We plan on heavily including Firestone businesses in everything we are able to so that they get the attention they deserve. I plan on visiting many businesses during the election and during my term if elected.

As I stated visting and getting them in roleplaying in county scenarios are almost too generic for them. Do you have anything more unique that can get them either more recognition or financially supporting them?

But would you agree that being a member of DPS doesnt necessarily mean your good for tbe job?

Hippo and I plan to:

  1. Share about the business on social media: letting our followers know about the business. This can help the business gain more visibility and attract new customers.

  2. Write a review: Positive reviews can also help a business attract new customers.

  3. Host an event at the business: This could be a private party, a fundraising event, or even just a casual get-together.

  4. Partner with the business: This could be through cross-promotion or even just referring customers to each other.

I hope these ideas are helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.

As a competent candidate for Lieutenant Governor, I possess a strong combination of education, experience, and personal qualities that make me well-suited for this role. I have a proven track record of success in leadership roles, having held various positions of responsibility in the public and private sectors. In addition, I have a deep understanding of the issues facing our state and a vision for how to address them effectively.

Furthermore, I am a highly effective communicator and have the ability to work well with people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. I am able to build consensus and forge strong partnerships, which are essential skills for a Lieutenant Governor. I am also highly organized and able to manage my time effectively, which allows me to tackle multiple responsibilities and priorities at once.
