As it is getting into the last quarter of Pup’s time as Mayor its time to have a few words over the last 2 yrs of experience. Wow...I will say that 2 years sounds like a long time but it went by in a blur. Usually I do not write a lot so please excuse this long post. I hope it will not be too long.
First I like to thank GM Kenstrom. It was thanks to the opportunity for there to be a player mayor that I had the last two years. I know we had ups and downs as we defined the role of a player mayor. I admit it wasn’t always awesome and sometimes frustrating but we made it work. I do believe we found a good balance and had some good RP when it was needed to have a mayor. I do hope lessons learned will help to improve interactions with future mayors. Thank you again for the last two years, thank you for all the RP and something that will forever define Pup.
Next and most important, I wanted to thank all the fellow players. Yes Pup had the title Mayor but it was only that, a unique title that really didn’t mean anything. It is thanks to all of you that Pup was Mayor. You help to RP the title, you acted like Pup was your mayor, and it was all of you that made the title believable. While I can say I had some amazing moments during the story, it was the everyday RP with all of you that I will remember the most. Those moments when it wasn’t a GM ran story going on or not during prime time that made the 2 yr ride worth it. I did thank Kenstrom for the opportunity but really the THANK YOU goes to all of you that voted Pup in both terms. It was thanks to you that I was Mayor, Thank you.
Last I wanted to say something to any of you that have even a little bit of an urge to try to be mayor. All I can tell you is to go for it and run when the election come up. It will be the most frustrating, the most amazing, the most almost rage quit, and defining moment for a character all rolled up in one. I do hope to see all the possible slots for candidate filled this year as I was slightly sadden that we only had 3 candidates for 2016. Run a solid campaign, build up a group to vote for you and you never know what will happen. Its wasn’t a popularity contest that won the elections but hard work. So do not think its not possible to win as I do believe if you put in the effort its possible. Good luck to any of you that run.
