I mean, to be fair, this is a Forum 7 + NS Sport roleplayers/wholesomecatmemes ticket. We don't even know what the WA is.

[Valentine Z]

Prequel Memes??

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

[Scottish Socialists]

I mean, to be fair, this is a Forum 7 + NS Sport roleplayers/wholesomecatmemes ticket. We don't even know what the WA is.

The WA is a social construct made up by people who use a side of NationStates known as ‘the game’ instead of the forums.
They’re weird.

Also as I have said, I have A LOT more people to thank, but I want to do it properly. But I can't do it yet because I'm a littleeee tired. Today was a bit tiring having to come back from my dorm.. all that fluff.

RL things aside, rest assured that you will be recognised when I put you inside my dispatch! I'll let you know when I updated it (and from there you can point it out to me if I missed out your name). ^^

Thank you all! :3 More updates to come later before end of election. I probablyyyy won't win, but being in 4th place is more than an honour! I'm just so elated that I come this far with the NS Sports peeps and F7 folks. And of course, a lot of smaller UCRs and other people. ^^

Meow doesn't feel too good... Physically, I mean. I won't be sick, but I sure need the rest! ><

Also, I love your new flag

[Auze]

You have my support. I’m just sad the Josephtan political campaign never took off.

[Thakia]

Valentine Z has the full support of The Kingdom of Thakia and i wish him the best of luck

[Saint Kanye]

Hey, you survived the first three rounds of the Chase! And now you're in the Championship Four! Keep digging!

[Valentine Z]

Updated Dispatch! If you are not inside yet... I will update soon again in an hour or two! There are possibly more that I have to comb and look around! ^^

With all the support from all my friends from F7, NS Sports, and many, many other regions, we have reached the Top 5! Now, to start off with not-too-good news, I will say that while we have reached this far, I believe that we might not have that a lot of chances against the other bigger nations! However, I am still severely grateful and happy to have the backings and support of a great number of you, and for making this possible. Not going to lie… when I first saw this, I simply wrote a small and half-written OP to vote for me. And guess what? I joined the candidacy while using my old dispatch, and I posted in the Election thread WITHOUT joining as a candidate. It was a disaster.

But you guys made it possible. With the power of friendship, sports, and cats, we have come this far, and I am amazed, impressed, elated, and joyfully tearing up at all of this.

So, moving on to the current business of the day: What do I (at least, myself) think of the other candidates? Let’s look!

Kuriko / Running Mate: The Salaxalans
I personally would support them the most, and it is not just because they are on top! Kuriko has been someone who has been reaching out to me for support and I am very glad to be their friendly rival, and more importantly, to be a friend! I am away from the political nature of these things (ironically), so not only am I indifferent, I also would like to thank them for their hand in helping me out. Help or not though, I will still support them regardless! ^^

Trans Anarcho-Communist Lesbian Catgirls / Running Mate: McMasterdonia
Another candidate that I have the utmost pleasure of working and interacting with, they too have my vote and support! I am still personally running for my own, despite the odds mounting against me, but I would wholeheartedly and personally ask that if you want to, you can either support Kuriko, or Catgirls, either one is fine! I might be campaigning with actual cats, but there is no denying that catgirls are indeed adorable! :3

Caelapes / Running Mate: Courelli
I wish them the best of luck as well! Unfortunately, I didn’t really have the pleasure of talking to them or interacting with them, and I didn’t exactly know who they were. That was my bad, of course, which would be rectifiable by me reaching out! It’s not that I don’t like you all, but relatively speaking, I personally just prefer the other two candidates. With that said, my support is with you as well!

At the end of the day… we have all came here as 4 x 2 nations, representing possibly the entirety of NationStates, at least the WA parts. I have absolutely no dirt on any of these candidates, and I sincerely wish them well! For those that who have voted for me – thank you very much, and I appreciate it! As for those who didn’t vote for me? It’s treason! No, just kidding! ^^ Make no mistake that I have no problems on who you voted for out of the other three. I equally support them (maybeeee one more than others), but I can only encourage and ask you for votes, I can’t force it, and I never intend to in any way, shape, or form. “Vote for me! But at the same time, you can look at the other candidates too.”

All the best to everyone! ♥ You can vote for F7 and NS Sports peeps like us, but this campaign is already more than a roaring success at this point! The other candidates are amazing as well in terms of help!

[Kuriko]

Valentine, it has been my distinct pleasure to get to know you a bit better over the last four days and end being able to call you my friend. Thank you for all the work you've put into this race, and good job on your campaign!! You're by far one of the nicest people I've ever met on NS, I hope to keep in touch with you!

[Valentine Z]

Likewise to you! It's a great honour to meet you this side of NS! ^^

You can find me on F7, NS Sports, and sometimes on NSG's TET. :3 And also here recently, which is gonna be a long-time commitment.

[Valentian Elysium]

So, this is the end.
Even though Valentine Z did not win the election in general, he did get to the general election, which he even said made him "amazed, impressed, elated, and joyfully tearing up at all of this." Amongst tens, no, hundreds of other potential candidates, Valentine Z and his cats managed to persevere, and, to an extent, win. I think that just that is a big party to celebrate.
I am glad at the little community that garnered around Valentine Z, created by cats, mews, and (later) prequel memes. But, alas, the time has come for the end. I'll miss these elections a lot, they were pretty fun.

Valentine Z, better luck next time. I'm glad I know you and am able to call you a friend. I hope to see you around in F7. Don't worry, next time I'm sure you'll win!

[South Reinkalistan]

Great work Val! You'll get 'em next time, in 2024!

[Valentine Z]

4th, it doesn't matter! What matters, and for what it's worth.... I have gotten A LOT of support, praise, help, and gained a lot more friends during this campaign period. I have the pleasure of knowing more nations, more regions, more people, and a lot more TGs that are not just tag:WAs, but like actual TGs supporting me.

Thank you for sticking with me throughout the end! We might not have won, but truly the F7 and NS Sports have make ourselves history in 2020 Elections. Maybe there will be bigger things in store for us in 2024! Maybe things might be a lot more different. I don't know for certain. But one thing's for certain and clear - our friendship.

Here's a little cute video to end this with! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gomxkVf0FcA



There will be a last dispatch update in order to sweep and mention more regions and nations that supported me. ^^

[Tinhampton]

I am, quite honestly, happy for you And you have proven that it is no longer about the size of the wallet in the cat, but the size of his heart... if I've messed up my metaphors horribly enough, I suppose that being a social butterfly worked out well for you too

Here's to next time!

[The Salaxalans]

Congrats on a hard-fought race! This has been so fun, I hope we get to do it again in four years!

[Yohannes]

This will be my last post in Election Headquarters. Congratulations for fourth place finish, Team Forum 7 + NS Sports + Valentine Z and their friends and supporters. My happiest moment in Election Headquarters was seeing you surviving to reach General Election together with the other big boys. It shows that fictional (online) grassroots campaign and friendship are the way to go, moving forward

[Zeta Reka and Hugeltaldom]

Well we did good. I mean all I did was vote, but you all did great!

[Bloodshade]

Valentine Z was 4th on the leaderboards but he was 1st in our hearts.

All in all though, fantastic work from everyone! I'm proud to have played my part in the campaign!

[Socialist Communist States]

This election was probably the most fun I've had on NationStates in a good while. It was an honour to help and take part in Valentine Z's campaign.

Congrats to the the winner and everyone else who took part in this election.

[The Chuck]

Vale, it was great to be a backer and an advocator of your campaign! I am extremely proud to call you a close friend and I am even more proud of what our rag tag group is capable of doing in NS Events. First we took 5th in N-Day and now we, and many other proud supporters, have helped push you to #4 in the WA Gen. Sec. elections. You are the true embodiment of the term "militant pacifist" and you've shown the rest of NS that kitty has claws and a load of friends!

[Aurevbush]

It was an honor and a pleasure to campaign with you, my good ol friend. With a recognition like this, and with such a positive and bright personality, you can be a victor whether you're at 1st or dead last. And how cool and awesome are thee on Forum 7. I salute you, Z. And hope to serve you more in my days here on NS.
