I wanted him to find someone back then, but now that he's actually gone, I wish I had emotionally stunted him so he would be my little baby forever.

But if he was gay the wedding would be so well planned . . . and I would be the only woman in his life . . .

The Solar System Scope, is there a chance you are gay?

Please consider it.

Mamma needs a win.

Calm down. They've been married and I can't allow you to call my friend crazy either

Just remove whatever amount of time you want from their memory using experimental, controversial, and lethal nuro-eraser technology.

Same, but replace the Fox with, I don’t know, happiness?

Is an excellent mission for an LC! It shows wonderful initiative and a go get ‘em attitude!

Auphelia For TSP City Council





Hello, Citizens of Pawnee . . . I mean TSP! How are you feeling today? Good? Great!

My name is Auphelia, and I hereby announce my candidacy for the TSP Local Council! Now, some of you were not around for my first (and only!) term as a Local Councillor of TSP, so let me give you a quick summary of where everyone was at, emotionally, during my tenure!

T h e C i t i z e n s

T h e R e s t O f T h e G o v e r n m e n t

M e

Are you all caught up? Great! Now, I have some great new ideas for the region (and by region I do mean the RMB and whatnot) that I am sure will delight and amaze, as well as some great reasons to vote for me, which I am so excited for you to hear! Or read. As this is a dispatch.

Are you ready for my list? Okay then!



One

My history in the LC is still spoken of today . . . in positive ways, I am sure. And if not, well . . .

In my last term as LC, back in the storied time known as Spring of 2018, the RMB was a different place. Erinor was Delegate, lampshades and SPIT were distributed to all new nations, and . . . well it wasn't that different.

Regardless of any similarities between then and now, I was a champion against the scourge of double posting, was on the front lines of nearly every conflict against spammers when they dared tread within our RMB, helped drive our RMB posts to new heights (good or bad, who's to say?), and managed to scare new nations with my tentacular awesomeness!

The other candidates, on the other hand . . . weeeelllll . . . it's not that I don't trust the other candidates . . . it's just that I don't have faith in them. Also, I'm beginning to forget who the other candidates are.

Now, I do know I was accused of such things as overly harsh enforcement and corruption in my last term, but I would like to point out that those charges were dropped and one of my main detractors CTE'd in a very non-suspicious way, so it's all fine. Everything is fine.

I am usually active or observing the RMB at some point or another, and in the event of a troll raid or a spam session, no one has ever accused me of being a hesitant suppressor, if you know what I mean.

But don't worry.

I can be calm.

Cool.

Collected.

So vote for me.

It's all right.



Two

Activity is key to a healthy region, and TSP has plenty of it! In fact, we have so much that encouraging people to join in is like encouraging small children to eat sweets! The LC has no need to encourage people to be more active. Instead, we need to focus and direct existing activity into productive outlets.

I am really good at making things sound good! You should just go ahead and stop reading now, go vote for me, and call it a day! After all . . .

Polls, for one, are one of the best ways to get people to talk!

What option did you pick? Why did you pick it? Well that's interesting, but . . .

Luckily for all of you, I am the self-described Queen of Polls! In my tenure as LC, there was not a single day that the region went without a poll! I can guarantee that a vote for Auphelia is a vote for more polls! I was an excellent Local Councillor in terms of polling! I was a poll icon!

I have to admit, though, I don't have many ideas beyond that. I do think games like geography or cinema trivia are fun, and as an LC I would like to run some, but life can be so hectic and player schedules so disparate that I think it would be wrong of me to promise something like that when I don't know I can deliver.

I can, however, promise to work with the ideas of any citizen or work with a fellow LC member on their ideas into something feasible we can do for the region!

Some may say that this means I am simply stealing their idea, but I prefer to think of it a different way.



Three

I absolutely love the RMB, and there is not much more I can say about that.

This RMB is like the waffles of TSP, the people are the friends, and the Forums are the work. The RMB or the people are the best, and the Forums are definitely third. I mean, I could definitely do well in the Forums. I could crush the Forums under my heel and become the Diabolical Dictator of TSP.

After all . . .

However, in the waffles, friends, work balance of TSP, one thing stands true.

This section doesn't really have a point, I just wanted to point out that the RMB is the best, and therefore being an LC is the greatest thing that could ever happen to me in NationStates.

No pressure.

It is a trap, in which Auphelia will love Fox until she attacks him, or imprisons him in his tower where he shall be tortured for the rest of time.

Thank goodness!

I worried I had typed up all of that for nothing!

I am so glad someone read it.

Now I just have to make sure Aidenfeeld doesn't win.

Actually, I forced him against his will into the marriage.

He never made the choice to love Si.

Oh, that's rather sad.

Auphelia, you look stressed. Maybe a night on the town will make you feel better. Of course you'll need a babysitter for your TssyPoo.

I recommend myself; I'm great with children.

Well, that's enough of that.
