Valentine Z - Bastion of Progressivism and Grassroots

[Luminesa]

I'll tactically support you. While I do support Hanabi's platform more, you've got a far better chance at winning and you're a good person (though, then again, so is every other major person in the race) who won't be a NatSov (or at least you say you won't), which my region doesn't seem to like.

For what it's worth, I withdraw my endorsement, especially given that Simone Republic has entered the race.

What a terrible decision. One of the best NSGers on NS for a known WA spammer. Lame.

[Luminesa]

Voted for Val Z, simple as. One of the best people on NS, bar none, one of the most technically skilled and intelligent, knows the website in and out. Kind, full of integrity, cares more than most, a person who always has your best interests at heart and a person who will make sure that fascists don't overrun the website. The kind of real reform this hellspawn website needs. There's some good candidates here, Val Z really is the best though.

Lack of experience? Val is a fast learner.

Reforms? Val is an exceptionally open-minded person.

Opinions? Val has very intelligent opinions.

There's too many cliques, too much cringe, and not enough intelligence and common sense on NSG. Vote for Val Z, someone who understands the assignment.

I rescinded my endorsement two messages down from there. I realize that Simone is far too extreme and spammy for our tastes.

Addendum !

This adds more as an addendum, and for this one, I am going to talk as Valentine Z. As in, the person behind it, not as my characters. So, all those claims I have made, it would not be complete without some data to show for! I was initially going to not do that, mainly because that usually takes me 2 weeks to accomplish. However, technology wizards have been nice to me this season, and I was able to get all this data. In other words, 300,000+ API calls in 4 to 5 days, and we are set! Though for the purpose of WA itself, I am filtering out the nations by means of nations having at least one WA endorsement. This excludes WA nations who have 0 endorsements but I have no better idea.

Inclusiveness vs Accessibility.

This is an interesting one! Inclusiveness and Accessibility does go up together – most of the time. Other times, you have nations whereby there are accessibility options, but people are discriminated or shunned, perhaps even mocked, for having those disabilities. On the other hand, you have nations that are very inclusive and compassionate towards those who are different. However, they are not accommodating! It’s akin to having a Blindness Awareness Week or Month but there were no efforts to add Braille in appropriate places. We shall encourage the nations to be a bit more inclusive, and have more disability-friendly infrastructure.

Greenness Index.

Greenness Index is borrowed from Ransium of Forest! [1] So, the formula is not mine in the slightest, I only used the formula to calculate for each of the nations. Greenness Index involves the following stats: Environmental Beauty, Weather, Tourism, Eco-friendliness, Lifespan, and Public Transportation. So, for the WA nations, we definitely do need a bit more improvement as a whole! Shift the graph a bit to the right!

Eco-friendliness vs Environmental Beauty.

This is an interesting one. We are not trying to skew or misrepresent the data. In fact, please do look at both axes. What I used is called Symm Log, which accounts for values 0 and below. Anyway, the focus is on the bottom part, whereby there are nations with bad environments and bad eco-friendliness. For those, WA as a whole will need to do their best to help these nations with greener methods, and to bring the green to them. The ones with a good environment (bottom right) have the pristine environments, but they do need to make sure that they are more eco-friendly.

Eco-friendliness vs Greenness Index.

Same as above, except with Greenness Index. The focus is on the net negative eco-friendly nations with Greenness Index down the toilet.

Economy Histogram.

A lot of the nations do have good economies, so that is quite a relief! However, there are still a handful of nations that are in need of help to develop their economies.

Good!

I like the campaign idea! It's a really interesting new angle that I haven't seen many other candidates approach it from. The level of detail is also super impressive

Hehe thank you. :3 I have said this a bit like a broken record - that I have no GA and SC experience and I am doing this for fun.
(The point I am trying to make being that I want a stats approach with the proposals.)

With that said yes! I love statistics and there's a lot of things to do with these. I mean, GA resolutions do change the statistics a little bit, so yeap! I understand that not a lot of people use or care about stats because they do not fit their nations. That's completely and perfectly fine. For me, I found my nerdy passion for numbers and coding here. ♥

I, for one, disagree with a lot of the stuff you are saying. what if i want the right to have my country a smoke-belching industrial hub, free from environmental laws? what then? are you going to force me to go green?

Don't let this happen to your folks!

Round 2 is up so hey, all the best to everyone! ♥

You know, ever since I was a wee lad, I always dreamed of being a WA Sec. Though sadly, that previous statement was completely made up.

The statistics, however, are not made up!

Vote for Val Z and give this man his proper flowers!

[Valentine Z]

Though difficult and a very uphill battle, perhaps nearing a 90 degree angle, the fact that I got to round 2 and maybe had like 30+ votes is pretty cool.

So hey, thanks for those who voted, and until next time- or not, since like I said, I don't do GA and SC. Still, fun little thing to try, and I'll be back to my usual hauntings and where I'm familiar with.

I hope you guys have had some fun and learned something about the certain stats. I do that often - well, used to but I'm reviving - in my Stats thread, so maybe come check that out sometime.
