Thank you all very much for being here and for all the support that you have given me over the years: as the premiere bard of this great guild, as Holocaust’s only bisexual man, and now as an Elf Pal. Thanks also to my longtime friends and fellow Holo pals Cwall, Chuck, Gongshow, Letsjoe and Kammbo and Crazycloud for all that you do – and for your very generous remarks. Thanks also to Chuck for moderating this event and for your leadership in Elf pals culture.
I also want to thank my family: My almost e-girlfriend Ereni, my brother Beastagor, my bard disciples Decibel, Leluyn, Gradner and Speedd for their love and support, and my seven beautiful croutons – Choopa, Agatha, Xepiz, Rafter, Mistie, Sirwince and Kajo who provide so much joy in my life. Today, here in our small guild – a guild that has led the server in so many ways – I am proud to announce my candidacy for President of Elfpals. Today, with your support and the support of dozens of people throughout this server, we begin a political revolution to transform our aim chat economically, politically, socially and environmentally. Today, we stand here and say loudly and clearly that; “Enough is enough. This great server and its AIM chats belong to all of the people, and not to a handful of Gynos, their Nirgons and their chickebones. Brothers and sisters: Now is not the time for thinking small. Now is not the time for the same old – same old establishment AIM chat and stale inside-the-beltway ideas. Now is the time for dozens of elfpals to come together, to revitalize AIM chat democracy, to end the collapse of the Empire middle class and to make certain that our children and grandchildren are able to enjoy a quality of AIM chat that brings them health, prosperity, security and joy – and that once again makes Elf Pals the leader on the box in the fight for economic and social justice, for environmental sanity and for a world free of snouts. My fellow elf pals: This server faces more serious problems today than at any time since the Great Snoutlicking and, if you include the planetary crisis of climate change, it may well be that the challenges we face now are direr than any time in our modern history. Here is my promise to you for this campaign. Not only will I fight to protect the working families of this box, but we’re going to build a movement of dozens of Elf pals who are prepared to stand up and fight back. We’re going to take this campaign directly to the people – in aimchat meetings, zone to zone conversations, on zone lines and on the forums – and that’s project1999.com by the way. This week we will be in Temple of Veeshan, Kael Drakkel and Sleeper’s Tomb – and that’s just the start of a vigorous grassroots campaign. Let’s be clear. This campaign is not about Yulath. It is not about Nirgon. It is not about Littlegyno or anyone else. This campaign is about the needs of the Elf Pals people, and the ideas and proposals that effectively address those needs. As someone who has never posted a negative RNF attack in his life, my campaign will be driven by issues and serious debate; not server gossip, not reckless personal attacks or character assassination. This is what I believe the Elf Pals people want and deserve. I hope other candidates agree, and I hope the boards allow that to happen. Politics in a democratic aimchat should not be treated like a baseball game, a game show or a soap opera. The times are too serious for that. Let me take a minute to touch on some of the issues that I will be focusing on in the coming months, and then give you an outline of an Agenda for Elf Pals which will, in fact, deal with these problems and lead us to a better future. Income and Wealth Inequality: Today, we play on the wealthiest nation in the history of the box but that reality means very little for most of us because almost all of that wealth is owned and controlled by a tiny handful of individuals. In Empire we now have more income and wealth inequality than any other major country on earth, and the gap between the very rich and everyone is wider than at any time since 2012. The issue of wealth and income inequality is the great moral issue of our time, it is the great economic issue of our time and it is the great political issue of our time. And we will address it. Let me be very clear. There is something profoundly wrong when the top one-tenth of Empire owns almost as many pixels as the bottom 90 percent, and when 99 percent of all new income goes to the top 1 percent. There is something profoundly wrong when, in recent raids, we have seen a proliferation of kings and bishops at the same time as dozens of <Empire>ans work longer hours for lower pixel counts and we have the highest rate of sleeper’s tomb key turnover of any major guild on R99. There is something profoundly wrong when one warrior owns more pixels than the bottom 30 Empire ranks. This grotesque level of inequality is immoral. It is bad economics. It is unsustainable. This type of rigged loot distribution is not what aimchat is supposed to be about. This has got to change and, as your president, together we will change it. R99 CSR Reform: If we are serious about distributing pixels, about being the best and the needs of our apps and our Rockems, we must be deadly serious about CSR reform and the need for a constitutional amendment to overturn R99 GM decisions. I have said it before and I’ll say it again. I will not nominate any swede to the R99 CSR staff who has not made it clear that he or she will move to overturn the disastrous plugging policy which is undermining our democracy. Long term, we need to go further and establish public R99 policy selection: Elf Pals must lead the box in reversing these policies. We can do that if we transform our box policies away from snout lickers, toward pixel efficiency and such sustainable raid schedules such as 7-11pm, monday thorugh thursday. Dozens of recruits and Rockems need to be trained, our transportation system needs to be mana efficient, and we need a tax on pixels to accelerate the transition away from pixel hoarding. Buffs for All: The Elf Pals remains the only major faction o the box that does not guarantee buffs for all as a right. Despite the modest gains of the Affordable Care Shnarf, an average of 35 <Empire>ans continue to lack aegolism and many more do not have proper buff stacks. Yet, we continue paying far more per capita per buff than any other guild. The Elf Pals must join the rest of the industrialized box and guarantee good buffs to all as a right by moving toward a Buffstack-for-All triple-buffer system. Protecting Our Most Vulnerable: At a time when dozens of <Empire>ans are struggling to keep their heads above water in PvP, at a time when senior wizards are evaccing away from Croutons, at a time when millions of recruits are living in dire pixel poverty, my Gyno/Nirgon colleagues, as part of their recently-passed pixel budget, are trying to make a terrible situation even worse. If you can believe it, the Littlegyno budget throws 57 recruits off pixel packages, makes drastic cuts in PvP protection, throws dozens of low-pixel recruits, including pregnant women off of pixel-gain programs, and makes it harder for working-class recruits to afford pumices or get their keys for the Sleeper’s Tomb program. And then, to add insult to injury,he provides huge chickenbone breaks for the very wealthiest players on the box while they let recruits take endless yellow texts. Well, let me tell my colleagues that I respectfully disagree with their approach. Instead of cutting buff bot locations, we’re going to expand buffing zones. Instead of cutting Halls of Testing and free pixels, we are going to move to a universal HoT system for all the children of this guild. As Franklin Delano Roosevelt reminded us, a box’s greatness is judged not by what it provides to the most well-off, but how it treats the people most in need. And that’s the kind of aimchat we must become. War and Peace: As everybody knows, we live in a difficult and dangerous world, and there are <Friends> out there who want to do us harm. As president, I will defend this guild – but I will do it responsibly. As a member of Azrael I voted against the Snout, and that was the right vote. I am vigorously opposed to an endless war in Veeshan’s Peak – a war which is unwise and unnecessary. We must be vigorous in combatting terrorism and defeating <Friends>, but we should not have to bear that burden alone. We must be part of an inter-boxinal coalition, led by <Casual Scum>, that can not only defeat <Friends> but begin the process of creating conditions for a second premiere raid guild. And to those who say we cannot restore the dream, I say just look where we are standing. This beautiful box was once an unsightly 34-population box that served no public purpose and was a vessel that paid one man’s electric bill. As a member of <Holocaust>, I worked with the people of HoloHQ to help turn this waterfront into the beautiful people-oriented public space it is today. We took the fight to the Duke, to the Snout and now to the Swedes. And we won. The lesson to be learned is that when people stand together, and are prepared to fight back, there is nothing that can’t be accomplished. I ask you to join me in this campaign to build a future that works for all of us, and not just the few on top. Thank you, and on this beautiful day in December, I submit my candidacy for ElfPals president. -Yulath | ||
