No More Bullsh*t: Jocospor for WA Secretary-General

[Monsone]

Alright, two things

1. This was a vote well spent.

2. Thanks for not requiring me to purge my telegrams daily by not sending a campaing telegram constantly. Much appreciated.

You're really welcome, Monsone! I'm REALLY hoping I don't need to send a campaign telegram - as you can see, we're trailing a little to Val Z.

Please spread the word! #NOMOREBULLSH*T!

So what I'm supposed to get out of this is that you're going to respect the Go aWAy campaign until it becomes apparent that you might not end up in the Final Five? This doesn't sound like the "NO TAG:WA DAY 3" pledge you gave us earlier!

I know. It's very sad

But if every other candidate is sending a tag:wa, it's very difficult to stay in the race. And sometimes you have to think about the common good, that being the member nations of the World Assembly.

Fingers crossed it doesn't come to it, though!

The first part of your campaign slogan is "No More Deceit." Should we trust you on that when you've expressed a willingness to break a promise about campaigning that you made a bit more than twelve hours ago? If this is to respond to a perceived advantage in campaigning that Valentine Z may have against you, he hasn't sent out any tag:wa telegrams at any stage either (Ninjaed by VilTur above!).

Valentine Z hasn't send a single Mass TG.

That's the single exception of all top eight relatively competitive candidates. However, Valentine Z also has the backing of several influential members of the WA Elite, and some questionable support elsewhere:

Oh, you are here to slander me and my friends in F7 and NS Sports. Why am I not surprised.

I am NOT going to play that game.

I had thought I'd seen telegrams supporting your campaign sent out, if that's wrong my apologies - my mistake. You do, however, have a massive incumbency bonus and the backing of several influential regions comprising part of the WA Elite.

The current top candidate apparently supporting your campaign instead of their own isn't questionable?

There's nothing wrong with not voting for yourself.

Hey Caelapes! Great work btw. But you do have a shiny, platinum-printed "Incumbent" badge to your name!

Hey again Val Z. Shrew means Ironically. It's just interested that Kuriko has voted for you is all! Remember, #JOCO2020 is a campaign of respect. I hope that can be reciprocated too!

Great point Tinhampton. The only problem is is that you're excluding relativism from your theory. The fact of the matter is that Kuriko completely flipped her manifesto last night to be more like mine. If other candidates weren't playing difficult, I wouldn't need to either. So yes, when this relativism is factored in, you can still trust me. I've been fighting this fight for over four years. I know how I feel about the World Assembly.

Val Z hasn't sent out any telegrams (amazing effort honestly), but I think it's important to note that their campaign dispatch tags hundred of nations, and is effectively the same as sending a reminder telegram. Why #JOCO2020 couldn't do this: We don't KNOW who our supporters are. We speak to a much wider audience than any of the other candidates. Unfortunately, categorical telegrams are the best way for us to reach our supporters.

#JOCO2020 is not relying on the vote of various factions. It's relying on the vote of ordinary World Assembly member nations, plain and simple.

No more deceit. No more Elite. NO MORE BULLSH*T!

[The Gilded Star]

The current top candidate apparently supporting your campaign instead of their own isn't questionable?

Personally I find someone voting for someone other than themselves refreshing.

I thought I already addressed this! That was NOT what I have in plan, and I never have the plans to manipulate the people inside my dispatch to vote for me. In fact, you will be quick to realise that a good percentage of them inside are those that either never cared for this campaign, or non-WAers (they don't have WA nations, basically), or people that has already voted for me in the first place. The regional mentions are me writing them AFTER they have supported me, not the other way around. A good 80% of the nations tagged in there fall into those categories. Yes, I did name-dropped a few more, but that's after they have supported me one way or another.

In other words, I have used this platform to further pay my gratitude towards those that I loved and liked well over my years. ♥

Yes, some of the votes do came in after asking a few friends here and there, but I let it come naturally to me, and because I have made genuine friends from all over the entirety of NationStates. And by fucking Fate, I will make goddamn sure that I stay that way with my friends!

> I hope that can be reciprocated too!

At this point? I am not so sure anymore, in all honesty.

[Tinhampton]

PRE-PRINTING EDIT TO ADD: Agreed 100% with TGS and Valentine Z above. The No More Bull lot, however...

A campaign of respect? This whole conversation began because you hinted at waiving your "NO TAG:WA DAY 3" promise - a promise you instated once again under the "campaign of respect" banner!

The first part of your campaign slogan is "No More Deceit." Should we trust you on that when you've expressed a willingness to break a promise about campaigning that you made a bit more than twelve hours ago? If this is to respond to a perceived advantage in campaigning that Valentine Z may have against you, he hasn't sent out any tag:wa telegrams at any stage either (Ninjaed by VilTur above!).

So yes, when this relativism is factored in, you can still trust me. I've been fighting this fight for over four years. I know how I feel about the World Assembly.

I very much doubt that Kuriko - one of our more active antifascists, of course - changed her manifesto because she was quivering in fear at your detailed plan to... erm, give yourself a blank cheque to write selfies?

Valentine Z also knows a lot of nations; I'm assuming that the dispatch tagging was a sign of gratitude, not a call to voting action. Look at my flag closely and you'll note that I'm actually one of Auralia's fanboys!

No more deceit. No more Elite. NO MORE BULLSH*T!

Deceit? Failing dismally on that count.
Elite? Only through association, conspiracy theory, and conspiracy fiction.
Bullsh...t? Laughable attempts at avoidance.
Zero outta three ain't bad...

[Valentine Z]

Oh, and right. I don't want to make this too much about myself on another nation's thread, but also of note is that I have been approached by multiple smaller regions that supported me. They asked me if they could pool their funds / budget and donate some stamps to me, or do the tag:WA campaign on my behalf.

I turned them down on all occasions. They are still free to promote me and ask other their friends and smaller regions to vote for me, but this was all voluntary.

Have a good day.

[Puppy Dogs]

I read the entire list of candidates out to my dogs, and "Jocospor" made them extremely happy! Ecstatic! Ten tail wags! TEN!!!

He's got my vote.

I do love dogmocracy!

Now, time for walkies.

This is very possibly the most delightful thing I've ever encountered on NationStates. THANK YOU PUPPYDOGS! #nomoredoggydood*o

It's really unfortunate. I didn't want to do it. See my official statement here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1340262

This is so very sad, there was once a time I could convince about 30-40 people to vote a certain way, now I'm struggling to get 5 people to help end the WA elite.
