Revitalize Atlasia: Duke for President exploratory committee

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Good evening,

I want to start off by saying that this decision came sort of abruptly, but in the words of former Governor and cultural phenomenon, KingoftheBenchPress, I need to see how much work I need to do.

It is no secret to many of us that Atlasia is dead or dying. Activity is at the lowest point I have seen it since becoming active about a year ago, and it bothers me. As many citizens have said, we keep electing the same people to office over and over again. The variety, quality and ideas of the candidates are becoming less and less diverse. We are seeing parties die out, folks de-registering, and others resisting invitations to join. These trends are not good for a game that has been going on now for the better of four years.

In the upcoming election, we have two choices. President bgwah, who has run a decent administration, but disregarded warnings from others on his Attorney General appointment  only to see it backfire, and longtime Senator and sparsely active AndrewCT. Mr. Andrew had a chance to really change the landscape of the election with his VP pick over the past week, but fell victim to the same poisons that are killing the game by choosing a former President and Senator for his VP; again, the same old, same old. How will that  energize anything? The same faces, same avatars, in the White House for another four years.

So, I want to start a dialogue with the people of Atasia. I want to hear from you, whether you like me or not, whether you are currently registered to vote or not, or whether you would consider voting for me or not. Atlasia is in bad shape, and I have a history of revitalizing dead regions and creating something fun for the game. Many of you may have concerns about me, and if so, I'd love for a chance to honestly answer these questions so we may better understand each other.

It's time, fellow Atlasians, to stand up for a new direction in this game. It may not be the status quo. It may not be with a guy with tons and tons of experience in the game, but it may be a good ride, a ride that would make this section of the forum worth visiting once again. I look forward to hearing from all of you as I look to see how this run may go.


Thank you all and God bless Atlasia....

This is an exploratory committee. I have not announced anything about running. I want to hear from the people of Atlasia. If DWTL truly wants to run for President, I certainly think he is more than capable of changing the way Atlasia works. We need a change and that's why I'm forming this. I don't believe either reeelction bgwah or election Andrew will bring it. Don't get me wrong, Andrew is a great guy, but if we want a real change of direction, electing him isn't going to do it.
