well, well, well, this is a new one. I have never been nominated to run for said position. hmmm, now for bribe. . .er. . . speech time. hmmmmmm. . . . ponder. . . . . . ponder. . . . . . . .pomder.
Ahh yes.
Ladies, Gentlemen, little furry lovable creatures, warlords, giants, sky dwellers and all those who call themselves part of the citizenry that makes up our B-U-T-FULL region of Texas, I am quite honored to have been nominated for Secretary of State. You might almost say flabergasted! Never in a well the twenty-some odd years I've been walking around here on earth would I have thought that I would be asked to run for this peticular and IMPORTANT office.
Some of the offices in Texas are there for fun, to create funness and joy in Texas for residents and illegal alie. . . I mean vistors. Other offices are there for a different purpose, to help keep Texas running. The office of Secretary of State is one of these offices. As chief ambassador for Texas it will be my fault, err. . . . responsibility to to help maintain "friendly" relations with all of Texas' allies, and to appoint and assist other Texans who wish to represent Texas abraod and hang out with our fun-loving, "fenda" allies! I, also, as I see, will be responsible (it would seem) for "investigating" any potential comrades at fun (and arms)
This is quite a big load. (I know, way to state the obvious) But I think that I am up to this task. And I humbly beseech you to cast your vote in favor of F799 for Secretary of State for this great region!!
IF you choose to vote against me remember that you will then be placing your vote in the category of No Confidence in doing that you will be saying that you do not believe that Texas needs a Secretary of State, and in effect placing this already big load on an already busy person, our illustrious President. I say to you, the office of Secretary of State is an important, nay VITAL, position for the peace-loving region of Texas.
Therefore,
VOTE F799 FOR SECRETARY OF STATE!!!



Also, Might I add, that I believe that I am qualified for this job because I have landed and exited a plane on a foreign runway under HEAVY sniper fire too!!
Doesn't that qualify me?


Now for question time! Questions anyone? Questions? Questions? QUestions?
Going once. . . . . . . . .
Going Twice. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ahhh yes right there! What is your question?

*stands, notepad in hand*

Mr. F799 (may I call you Mr. F?), I happen to have a couple of questions:

Earlier in your speech, you referred to Texas as being a butfull region. Would you explain this comment for our legions of zombie-like viewers, rendered incapable of forming a coherent thought without the benefit of our brightly colored graphics and meaningless polls?

Also, according to an anonymous internet source, you once recorded a novelty video involving several Playboy Bunnies, two aardvarks, and a pineapple. What are your comments, and how will this affect your campaign?

*ceiling tile moves out of the way, and a figure drops to the ground in front of the podium, stands, and after a moment to steady himself, speaks*

I realize, that as a visitor, I cannot vote in this election, and that's probably why I received no invitation to this press conference. *He gestures to the ceiling* However, as Minister of Foreign Affairs for the great region of Yggdrasil, I have a couple questions which concern me, and which ought to concern you:

First, if elected, will you work to continue strengthening relations between our regions?

As a follow-up, would you send us an ambassador, or maybe just drop in to visit once or twice yourself if elected? The embassy is rather sadly empty, and the doughnuts are getting really old.

Finally, might I consume said doughnuts? They've been sitting there for a couple weeks now, and they make me hungry every time I see them.

*looks around nervously* I must be off now, but your answers will be reported to me. *runs off*

Earlier in your speech, you referred to Texas as being a butfull region.

That has to be one of the all-time best comments we have ever heard in these Campaigns.

We may have to change our motto for the region to "Texas, The Most Butfull Region in NationStates®"

It doesn't even matter that it doesn't have two "t"s - it only adds to the charm!

Mr. F (another goodie!), you are going to make a swell SecOState!

I have an opening statement and a follow up question:

*Ahem* Having proudly served with F799 on many fine missions in the TDF, I proudly support and endorse him for Secretary of State. I've seen his diplomatic skills put to good use in "negotiating" with the enemy, so I know he will do a great job with our friends. :salute

As to the question - Where can I get a copy of that video? :wow

Pertaining to my comment of Texas being a B-U-T-full region, I was merell attempting a play on words to explain how attractive the rear ends of many of our fine texans are, and that upon my election to SecOState I will encourage any visiting dignitaries, ambassadors and other foreign individuals to stop and observe the healthy amount of rear ends our region possesses!

As to this said video, which I can neither confirm nor deny, as I do not posess the authority to do so, I have this to say: That was a classified mTDF document that occurred in a foreign country and neither our SecDef nor President had the right to declassify that highly secret bit of spy work being conducted by an individual bearing a striking resemblence to our nations leader. All we can say was that said actions were performed in the best interest of defending a neighboring region from invaders, and that our illustrious leader, merely his evil twin/clone thingy concocted in a laboratory on the prpoerty of a certain not-so-good bodiless entities land. As to where to obtain a copy of this footage for personal viewing, I cannot tell you exactly, although certain defense force members may or may not have been involved in the filming of said miss-conduct.

In reply to our ambassador's questions my response is this: I will personally stop over and say hi to those in your region. I will, also work to maintain friendly relations, with or without nuclear threats to hold you in my grasp *OUCH!* sorry BT, ok no nuclear threats. I will work to further develop the friendly relations held between Yggdrasil and Texas.

Concerning the donuts in question, however, those are now the property of the Texas State Department, and as such upon my election will be whole heartedly consumed in an office festival, at which top secret videos of F799 government official clones will "not" be shown!

Darth Kermit, I thank you for your support it means a lot to me. Your video will be wired for analysis by top experts to determine the cause of the leakage of said falsified media to the well, media.

Any other questions? I love questions, after all a butfull region like Texas has to have some questions hidden somewhere for a brand new SecODef!!

Having now carefully reviewed the video multiple times, using micro-spectoral algorythms and the latest film analysis decription technology, I can conclusively and catagorically state that those are not aardvarks. :armadillo :armadillo

I stand corrected, Darth Kermit. A review of our review utilizing our patented Beer Goggles® technology has come to the same conclusion. We recommend the creation of a regional task force for the purpose of determining exactly what said creatures are.

And as for F799's responses, I found them more than satisfactory. Therefore I heartily endorse F799 for the position of Secretary of State!

As current Texas Secretary of State, I endorse F799!

That No Confidence guy is a jerk! He's bad for the region!
I'm positive F799 will carry out the duties of Secretary of State very honorably.

well, well, the first blatant attack on my person. But I must admit I am confused. By all means if you wish for me to turn into a fleet of warplanes then please vote no confidence. I almost wish I could vote no confidence, turning into a fleet of aircradt might help me out with the TDF, not to mention that it'd be totally cool too!
CHW would you please expound on your statement here?

albeit I do not think thta democracy is always the best form of government (but that applies more to large countries a.ka. the United States in RL, not Texas in NS) I do not think that constitutes me as a communist at all! I am very conservative, passionately hold to my freedom and if given the choice would choose a dictatorial monarchy over communism any day! Communinsm, true communism, doesn't work. People are greedy that is the falling point of true communism. Also, if you look at all the "communist" countires in the world you see a big problem. Karl Marx siad that communism would come from deomcracy, and would be apeaceful transition. Well, every communist regime has been set up and maintained by force. Many of which are just a sort of dictator in disguise. True communism has yet to be seen on a large scale anywhere in the world.
I am not a communist, and by voting for me I will not become one. By the very act of your vote in this democratic process I will not, and cannot become a communist, either by worldly standards (violent takeover) or by true communism standards (peaceful upset of democracy) I'm just to fond of my freedoms.


Maybe CHW you are the communist. your messages alomst lead one to believe so when you look at all of your postings. What say you to that?
