You could be more polite about it

It was not my intention to be rude, but here's my amended version:

"A few days ago, I requested a poll regarding the name recognition of the AFM/AFN/Vohoffsky. If it does not inconvenience anyone, may I ask the status of the poll?"

The bill has some serious sentencing oversights, Moore would like to meet to talk about it

People do vote crazy candidates. That's what Goldwater is betting on. :p

But seriously, if Goldwater somehow manages to win the nomination, I want to see reaction of GOP politicians.

Character Information Sheet


NS Nation Name: The Baton Rouge Free State
Character Name: Andre Moore
Character Gender: M
Character Age: 37 (Born on March 10, 1982)
Character Height: 6'0"
Character Weight: 156 lbs.
Character Position/Role/Job: Mayor of Las Vegas
Appearance: Character State of Origin: California
Character State of Residence: Nevada
Character Party Affiliation: Democrat
Main Strengths: Resolute, Bold, Persuasive, Forward Thinking
Main Weaknesses: Defensive/Protective, Prejudiced (has solid idea of people before meeting them and likely won't change it), Pride
Biography: Born to a middle class household in San Diego, Andre's upbringing was largely focused in California, as, at the age of 5, he moved to Santa Barbara, and then at 13 to San Francisco. However, around the age of 15, the Moore family, took a short stint on the gulf coast in Houston. Andre would infact graduate High School in Houston and would have quite a distaste for the swampy marshland that was the gulf coast. For university, he was forced to choose between his two favorites, UC Berkeley and UT Austin, but opted for UT Austin do to his cheep admissions. At UT Austin he developed a passion for politics, of which, before college, had not much appealed to him. He would end up becoming very passionate of the profession, and became a leading member on the campus Democratic Party circle. It was here where he would develop his strong predisposition toward many figures, judging many political figures before fully researching them.

Andre moved to New Mexico after graduating with degrees in Economics and Marketing. He started working at Sandia Labratories in Albuquerque. While there he became quite good at Spanish, actually becoming conversational. During his time at the company, Andre became good friends with his supervisor, John Campbell, Campbell had an idea for his master project, which featured a personal marketing campaign for each of its major customer groups. The project was deemed to expensive and Campbell resigned, Andre soon followed him as Campbell had a connection to the Chief of Marketing at Las Vegas Sands. They were both given high ranking jobs. Moore would grow to enjoy Las Vegas a lot more than he thought, enjoying the desert surroundings, and the near by National Park at Lake Mead. At the age of 27 Moore would meet and marry his wife, Maria Parker, who turned out to be quite politically motivated herself. The relationship would re-spark Andre's affinity for Politics.

Andre wanted to go into Politics now, it should be stated, he was always interested in it, but he really didn't think of it as coming to reality until now. Andre left his position at Las Vegas sands and ran for city council, which he would win a seat at. It should be known, that by this point Andre had a suitable savings to his name, around 1.8 Million in total from his high profile work at two large and successful companies. In his time not working at the Council, he too classes at the University of Nevada - Las Vegas and would earn a Political Science degree. He became quite popular for pioneering gay rights legislation, and for being a good moderate candidate. In 2014 he would be elected into the State Assembly, and then worked part time at the local government in the Department of Public Works. He also then took university classes on Civic Management and then City Planning but never earned a degree in either. In 2018 he would run for Mayor of the City, in the election he was able to beat out the incumbent independent and found a supporting audience for his proactive and forward-thinking policies, as well as his goal to diversify the City Economy.

In 2019 one of his first acts was to hold a big press conference with the head of the Oakland Raiders, this move helped him win quite a bit of support as he proved he would be able to get a hand in with many of the local businesses. Andre announced plans to sponsor the construction of a large outdoor shopping mall, near the raiders campus, but be became quite famous for his fierce stance against Public Parking lots, saying "Their disgusting atmosphere is a waste of space, such land could be public parks, or more residential, but instead we fill our city with concrete jungles." This stance resonated with many younger audiences who liked the more compact style of large east coast cities like New York and Boston.

I made a bit of a more word graph to sum things up.
Democratic States - Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Hawaii, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Virginia, New York, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire. Total: 18
Republican States - Alaska, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana. Total: 22
Mixed States - Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Wisconsin, Alabama, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Maine. Total: 10

Overall score. Democratic - 36%, Republican - 44%, Mixed - 20%

Quote of the Week: "A NEW STORY ON WRITING THREAD FOR HALLOWEEN!! MYSTERY MINE AVAILABLE NOW!"

RPs I do
- How do you do fellow kids? You want to see something violent? - Artemis: Deimos Trafficking League (Horror/Mature)
- Descend into the forgotten tourist traps of Florida on this transgressive RP! - The Community (Mature/Black Comedy/Slice-of-Life)

My overall account that I use for P2TM and even for international roleplaying! MNM is a mysterious and extremely dangerous dictatorship filled with supernatural oddities, demons, militarized soldiers everywhere, and a misanthropic nihilistic dictator who doesn't give a damn. It's basically if the SCP Foundation got mixed with 1984.

As far as I'm aware the map IC and the map in IRL are the same, there might be a few swaps already depending on what Class of Senator people apped as but otherwise, I'm pretty sure all States have the same kind of mix.

Will I be allowed to do a left-wing character again? I've been running out of inspiration (temporarily, anyway) with Vohoffsky, so can I just make a left-wing character to refresh myself a bit?

I know I messed up with Taylor, but most of it was due to me not understanding either American politics or the Progressive Party.

Please, let me try again.

On coloring, I don't want to deal with hitting every island of Hawaii, so I just colored the box instead, so I felt coloring the box for Alaska would fit better thematically or some artsy word like that.

On Pendergast, whoops, missed that.

So the admins have intentionally made a decision to keep Wolf a bit less active than Trump IRL that way others could take center stage in the RP. It will PROBABLY happen at some point but likely if things have slowed down a tad.
