He's a soldier after all, we cannot expect soldiers to be ascetic temperaments,)
Had Still Wyler considered him of weakening influence he would have never given him the marechal title.

I think he will serve the Trykers best in his current potition. This is a line from his Bio, which I agree with. "Diplomacy he prefers to leave to others, recognizing that his skills lie in the military sphere."

How can you take a candidate serious when they use this in their election speach? "I will also pledge to reduce duties on alcohol, which is currently taxed as a luxury import, when it should clearly be reclassified as a food and beverage."

Seems reasonable to me.

Yes, it may seem not serious, but if you're used to read a bit inside the words, and if you listened to all candidates discourses, you will see that, surprisingly, this is probably the only concrete reference to a concrete situation in tryker lands.

All the candidates prefered using abstract words: freedom, standardization, etc. which, in essence, make some sense just because we put there the sense using the context, but also using our wishful thinking.

Rehn, whatever the reson for which he used this announce, became closer to homin pointing one practical problem in their day to day life. Instead of alienating the public these word that, seen on paper, might seem not serious, contrasted to the abstract words of his opponents, and gain him a finalist place.

And finally we should not forget that acohol has the power of a symbol in tryker world, being a very important part of the very rite that leads to tryker citizenship itself.

I have some questions for our candidates.

Concerning Outposts…

Would you ever exclude, evict or support any race, religion or guild from occupying Lakeland Outpost? If so, under what conditions would you become involved?

What is your stance on Tryker ownership of Outposts outside the Lakelands?

Do you plan on taxing outposts?

Concerning Citizenship…

What additional benefits do you intend to bring to Tryker citizens?

What additional benefits do you intend to bring to federated guilds?

What role will the federated guilds have in your government?

Do you intend to have any sort of public forum for citizens to discuss and influence governmental policies?

Do you intend to be accountable for your actions? If so, How?

Concerning factions…

As Governor will you endorse a Faction? If so, which?

Would you support expansion of the present Karavan Temple?

Would you support the construction of a Kami Temple?

Concerning races

Which race do you think will be the friendliest with your government and why?

Which race do you think you will have the most difficulty strengthening relations with, and why?

Concerning really important stuff

How soon will you construction begin on operation “Gigantic Pero”?

Homins,

These are indeed all good questions.

There will be another debate tomorrow, Thursday 25th May at 9pm BST when the two candidates will be happy to answer further questions from the floor.

This debate will focus on Foreign affairs and alliances, but feel free to ask any questions that you wish answered.

Wow I am impressed, if I was one of the candidates facing that barrage of questions I'd be seriously worried now. I take my hat off to you.

Can I assume you were @work when you wrote these?
