My Mood:  |  Vote for Van!
Van for Baron  Dear Vesperians, Veeties, and others.
A new election is dawning, and it's time for a new path. Why vote for someone so far up his arse he does what -HE- thinks is good for Vesper? Well the time for change is now. Vote for me and I'll do what -YOU- think is good for Vesper!
I'm no noble, far from it, I'm just a common man with more pot luck and wit then brains and brute, but thats what makes me the ideal candidate. Living among my fellow Vesperians, I know you've not been happy of late, and Vesper has slumped into a depression. I see this as my duty to take us out from that depression and into a new era for Vesper, no, for Britannia.
Too much change all at once is too bad, so I propose the following plan in the respected areas; The Militia
The Militia is the heartbeat of Vesper, and with the recent depression and dip in numbers, large measures need to be taken out to fix this problem.
1. All wages for members of our militia will receive a 50% increase in their weekly wages.
2. Regular patrols will be taken out to make sure our lands are clean from scum.
3. Regular training sessions are also to be taken place. Those that improve the most in training shall gain a small gold reward.
4. Our men and women are to help out the Rebels based in Cedarwood with their conflict against the Yewish.
5. Money is to be invested into the future of the militia. We shall construct an acedemy for where young people may come and learn, with the help of books, tutors and most importantly, front line combat experience.
6. Some thoughts and money may be put into the building of a training arena. Otherwise we can stick to a little hand made one from water filled barrels stationed North of the Swaggers.
7. All militia members will be taught how to sail a ship and all that goes with it.
8. Also all members of the militia are to be rewarded with a 20% off all drinks from the Swaggers, of which are over thirty gold peices in value.
Vesper
1. West Vesper (formerly Minoc) will be given it's own Governer of state. There is no need for it to stick out on it's own like a sore thumb, so we shall embrace it and use it's resource income to help with our trades.
2. A while ago we used to have public bath houses in Vesper, but we don't anymore. I suggest instead of spending money on building a new one would be rather useless as there is a perfectly good one on the island of Bucc's Den which we shall use. Hopefully I'll be able to get some young females to rub down the men, and some nice fella's for the women.
3. Once every two weeks, a stage shall be constructed on the beach, and there we shall host plays, live bands, stand up comedy or important speeches.
4.

7. Pay will be doles out on the weekend to all citizen employees. To claim the pay, the tax collector must be sought out. (Taxes will also be collected during this time.)
| All citizens of Vesper will no longer have to worry about taxes, for once I am made Baron, all taxes will be dropped!
5. Tournaments shall be made a regular thing again! With the winner getting great prices, including the title "Gladiator of Vesper". Anyone willing is allowed to join, after all it is all good fun!
6. With the increase of recent crime, the following laws will be edited as follows..
- Theft / mugging: This crime will now be considered a major act against Vesper and the fine will go up to 750 gold and 10 minutes in jail. Hopefully this will end up in a crackdown on all recent muggings.
- Harassement: This law will now be split into four seperate laws.
Sexual harassement will be a 1000 gold fine and 15 minutes in jail.
Racial harassement will be a 200 gold fine.
Religious harassement will be a 200 gold fine.
Militia harassement, thats harassement by the militia, will be a 500 gold fine and depending on it's seriousness, can end in a demotion or even exiled from the militia.
Also the "Women must wear hats on Sundays" law will be discarded. Some people fine it "sexiest", but I personally don't get turned on by it, and nor do the women like it.

| Also the use of shade will be made legal for all uses, not just for medical use. Not like a certain somebody who wants to make it only available for pain releif, whereas they're smoking it all the time already!

| The introduction of a new law will be put in place. Anybody who is hiding their face with either a mask or low hood should be asked to lower or remove it. If they fail to abide, they are to be fined 100 gold and their face is to be shown with force.
The Swaggers
The Swaggers is what brings people to Vesper, so it's important to make sure it's at the best it can be to help with the attraction for young soldiers and bar staff.
1. We forget that The Swaggers Inn is ran by a trading company, so I shall make sure trading business is to be on the rise with regular trades between Vesper and Trinsic. What can we offer them? Wood, fish, ore and bones. What can they offer us? Weapons, armour, wine and cooked food.
2. With trading sorted, we will host fortnightly Markets which I would like the Veeties to organise. Here people all over Sosaria can come, set up a stall, and sell their bits and bobs.
3. The Swaggers seems to be the main target for all raids that come to Vesper, so a boost in security is a must. Either by employing more bouncers, or positioning some militia there.
4. All crafters of Vesper will be entitled to three free drinks in the morning hours.
On a final note, if you do not vote for me, I fear it is the end of the Van Cocidius legacy.. Quote:

| If Elliot wins, it'll be the end of all Pirates, and it is I he targets. I do not fear him and I will not quit, to quit on Vesper is the act of a coward... Quote:
