It's a great day to be running for President.

The past couple days have been days of odd shenanigans (which I'm complicit in), unexpected twists and turns, and classic bickering. A perfect time to announce a presidential campaign - sneak a little bit under the radar while still maintaining relevance. But I'm obviously not the only one who decided on this strategy - both Ninja and DTC have announced their own campaigns in the last day or so as well. And I wish them well, of course, but we're in it to win it.

This isn't my first time running for President. I've tried it before and it didn't quite work out as planned. In fact I've considered running in (or actually ran in) just about every presidential election in the last two years. But this time isn't like any of the rest. There's none of the calm and quiet of the past year. The atmosphere is much more similar to that of two years ago - when I got elected vice president the first time. So now more than ever we need order in the midst of chaos.

If I'm elected President next month, I'll work from day one on getting smart and sensible policies passed. I'll detail those more in the platform I'll put out soon. But we're gonna be a change from the past administration - don't mistake yourself, I like and respect Pericles but I'm my own thing. Everyone who knows me knows that. And that's why I've chosen the slogan Join The Evolution.  Because I'll lead Atlasia on the evolution to a higher plane of existence. We'll transcend dimensions and usher in a new golden age of peace and happiness.

With that being said, let's get this campaign rolling!

Glorious News!
It's announcement time, baby!

Thank you, thank you! It's great to be here with you today, and I'm happy to announce my candidacy for Vice President of Atlasia.

First of all, I'm honored that Vice President MB picked me to be his running mate and successor as veep. MB has been around in this game for a while now, and staunchly defended his principles all the way -- he's fought hard to keep Atlasians free of unwarranted surveillance, reform police and criminal justice, and keep the South fun for its players. He'll be a terrific President, and I can't wait to fight by his side.

My pitch for the Vice Presidency is simple: I'll do the job. My M.O. is that above all, this game should be fun, and it isn't possible for people to have fun when Congress is stagnant. That's not just talk: over the past several months, I've shown the activity to back it up, including a stint as acting Speaker where I got an inert House of Representatives rolling. If we win, I won't let legislation get stuck in purgatory -- I'll provide active leadership for Congress, and fight for progressive values all the way.

We're going to keep leading Atlasia out of the pandemic, and keep moving towards a bold new future -- one where anyone who works hard has a fair shot at getting ahead, and where Atlasia is a blast for all of us to play. I can't wait to make it happen together.

Onward and upward! Thank you all.

I believe MB offers the best path forward for the game, and is a great public servant. He is the reliable progressive in the race, and while I respect HCP and DTC, it is time for us to unite behind this great ticket. So I am proud to endorse MB/Ted Bessell-and join the evolution (?, going with it!). I won't pretend that MB is a carbon copy of me or a third term for me (fourth term? depends how you count by initial month as President). However, I think we share fundamental values and I trust in his judgement to craft and deliver his own vision for the game. Thank you very much.

I just realized that your slogan was a Williamson 2020 slogan for some reason.

Not a single plank I disagree with. MB will be an excellent president with a plan for a better Atlasia, and Ted has proven himself more than qualified for the office of Vice President.

Proudly endorsed.

I saw a possum on my fence when I was like 7 years old. Now it was just there for maybe a few minutes but that memory stuck with me ever since. That was the last living possum I ever saw. I've seen plenty dead ones on the road. So I guess you could say I'm a centrist on the possum issue.
