I, Lord Elliot Heath, shall once more be running for the status of Baron of Vesper.
I offer a return to real leadership in the republic, and an end to anarchy. I will introduce stronger policing of Vesper laws. Pirates and criminals shall no longer be allowed to act as they will without fear of retribution. Known pirates shall be hanged. I will gather strength in the militia in order to re-secure the borders against the Yewish enemy, and work towards the annexation of Bucaneers den, to protect us from the pirate scum, and against attacks from the south through the transport arch. With me, Vesper shall be a safe and strong city once more.
Punishments for crime shall be greatly increased. Theft from a Vesperian civilian shall be punished by the removal of an offending finger. Assault shall be dealt with by lashes or the iron maiden; murder by death.
To further cut crime, undesirable races shall be banned unless in posession of a race pass, available for 10,000 gold coins for one week. Proceeds shall be given to the militia to spend on training and equipment. Weapons shall be prohibited for the civilian population unless a permit is bought for 5,000 gold coins.
My changes will ensure that Vesper grows from a costal town to Britannia's greatest power. We shall show the loyalists that rebellion does not mean anarchy, and will force them one day to pledge loyalty to us.
Vote Heath, for a new Vesper.
I enclose a copy of my proposals as written before the last election.

If Vesper is to hold strong against outside influence from the south and the west, we must stand together, not apart.
I will implement a stronger legal system within the town, as currently criminals are treated with unforgivable leniency. If I am elected, I shall make sure that criminal activity is met with a fitting retribution, as opposed to the blind eye of the current administration.
My rule will be marked by actions, not endless words or ineffective political posturing.
Military Regards:
The day to day running of the militia will remain in the capable hands of it's current leadership, however I will take the position of high commander. My experience with the various Knightly orders and the wars they have fought all over Sosaria put me in a unique position to direct the grand strategies of our forces throughout the land. The talent of the militia is unmatched in battle, but until now it has lacked a true direction. With me in charge, that shall never be a problem again.
Under my rule, the militia will be kept intact, however more city funds will be spent on it's upkeep. A fleet of ships shall be bought, from which we can begin an amphibious assault on the city of Trinsic. If the land can be found, further money will be spent on building a barracks for the militia, so that they have no need to return to their homes while on duty. This will allowed a shortened reaction time to threats within Vesper, and keep out civilians safer.
The Vesper trading company members will be treated like any other civilians. If they break the law they shall be punished harshly and quickly. They will not be allowed to run rampant around the city and comit crimes right infront of the militia, as has happened in the past.
Once the fleet has been completed, I will ask the militia to take the island of bucaneers den. This island is perfectly placed, as it is reachable through a teleporter from our own city, but is also close enough to be used as a base for naval attacks on Trinsic, should our fragile truce break down. |
