As a capsuleer I have seen S beams glittering in the dark off the Old Man Star gate, assault ships on fire off the shoulder of Ishaga, things planetary bound civilians wouldn't believe. If the Federation does not stand up for itself then these things will be lost like tears in the rain.

As your first capsuleer President, I will make sure that the sacrifices of the people will not be forgotten while I am in office, those brave souls who took down the Shiigeru shall be remembered with full vigour by showing the galaxy that we are not weakened by despair. We will hunt down the Sansha enslavers, help all brave souls fighting the Caldari wherever we and whenever we can and try to solve the mysteries of the wormholes and their destructive nature as in the Seyliin Incident. We shall seek to engage with The Syndicate and our goals of the destruction of Serpentis shall be remade, how that many serpentis ships continue to intrude into Gallentean belts is a true debacle, that the present administraton has not solved as well as not bringing back our fabled Molyneux solteur titan. Gurista incursions shall also be brought to bear.

I shall seek an end to CONCORD policing as they seem equally incapable of stopping Serpentis, and replace them with the Gallentean Navy, as CONCORD ships were built with gallentean technology they will be immediately confiscated, a solution to Solitudes isolation will be found, an attempt to link it to the Gallentean Federation will be made. Our allies the Minmatar Republic will have our full support and their dedication to ending slavery shall be our dedication too. We shall also reach out to other nations. Science shall be one of our vanguards, I aim to increase spending in military and scientific matters. The limitations on drugs shall be more liberal as there is evidence that not all are as bad as made out to be.

Vote for Terranid Meester, senator of Villore and ask me anything.

Sorry to inform you, but the first Capsuleer President is the incumbent president Jacus Roden himself.

So, what's your policy? You have made clear your intentions in regards to Federation external matters. What about internal matters? Economic plan? Social policies? The works?

Senator Meester, you candidate to be the President of the most powerful nation in this Universe and you completely forgot to mention;

- Quafe.
- Freedom.
- Chocolate.
- Exotic dancers.
- Our powerful military.
- Legalization of X-Rated Holoreels.
- Your personal level of naughtiness.
- Opinion about buttslapping Jamyl Sarum.
- Your portrait in front of Neon lights on Gallente Prime.
- Potatoes.

I must inform you that if this your desired direction of your candidature, I'm more than displeased!

I'm Caroline Grace, and this is my favorite musical on the Citadel.

Regarding economics we aim to reach out to the Minmatar Republic, regarding greater integration of free trade policies, less tax and intrusion into the affairs of small business which should make flight of local capital a less likely thing. I believe in the opening up of trade relations with the Jovian Directorate, Khanid Kingdom and The Syndicate for example, as good relations with other neighbours are always in our best interests. Our scientific might will also have a good affect on our economy and collaboration with groups like the Sisters of EvE shall ensure that problems can be solved together and illustrate to others that we are benevolent enough to be able to work well with others. The role of banks in society is not to be forgotten, I encourage a diverse range of banks, so that capital is not placed in a few baskets but instead more spread out so that losses are not as bad for the Federation.

The social policies would include making sure that people do not rely on the state looming over them like some kind of shadowy figure, we shall help people to help themselves. We shall help people be able to start their own ventures be it scientific,social or economic. We shall look for new mining oppurtunities be it importing from the Republic, finding new deposits of ice or reclaiming low sec systems from lawlessness. I aim to help preserve planets natural environments while balancing the need for the neccessary exploitation of resources without going too far.

I shall also take up with the Amarr embassy the chance to resolve the differences with the Amarr and Minmatar and also to see if territorial territorial ambitions in Outer Ring and Cloud Ring can be realised. The rogue drones in places like Malpais and Cobalt Edge also interest me as a way of perhaps either negotiating with them and/or finding out what their purpose is, so that infestations of Gallentean space are curtailed. I fully support the reintegration of Mordu's Legion into Federation society and to help them with finding homes in the original places from where they were exiled if they so wish.

Fear not, I have thought about these things often myself, I greatly believe that Quafe is delicious and that we shall always need new varieties and quantities of it. Of freedom, we should make sure that local decisions are important in matters and that freedom to travel for instance should not be curtailed, for example I encourage freedom in the Gallentean region of Black Rise, and our military has done a grand job of freeing others in that region.

Chocolate and exotic dancers should also be free, if you can spare the expense. Our military needs more funding, this is something you can be assured of, Ithink that the current administration puts too many considerations on personal military connections without taking note of the wider whole. X-rated holoreels are a local matter, speak to your local government about it, but you can be assured will be keeping tabs on local government.

My personal level of naughiness was due to complete misunderstandings regarding military matters that I cannot really explain. These allegations into my killing of innocents is not proven, and I aim to clear my name which I will do so, from questionable people. I respect Jamyl Sarum and congratulate her and her Fabricator-General on their recent results, I am unaware of what this butt-slapping is? Must be some obscure fad from one of our systems, there are so many these days.

Regarding personal portraits, I don't actually like looking at my own picture, idolation is something I feel is something to be avoided at all costs, we are not a monarchy after all. Potatoes should be redesigned, their aesthetics are all wrong, but they are tasty!

For a supposed member of the Senate, you have a somewhat banal understanding of intergalactic politics and foreign policies.

Then again, given the Senate's reputation, your incompetence might just be in place. Keep up the good work.

Woooh. I stopped dead here. What a trainwreck.

Looks like another year of voting for Roden. I didn't think a less attractive candidate could appear. I thought anything would be better. Boy, was I wrong.

Maybe I should consider allowing my pet rock to run. It probably has more solid policy stances than most.

You should vote for this guy, he's talking about extending the Capsuleer War and initiating further official hostilities between the Federation and State at the same time as removing Concord's presence.

You'd have anarchy within about six weeks.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

Six weeks? You've been a Capsuleer long enough to know it would take all of six minutes.

Could you please elaborate on your domestic policies?

The celebrity of capsuleers will help you gain publicity but I am unconvinced that you have the qualifications to actually lead the Federation. Some of your policies in space are attractive, others frankly I cannot support.

So you will not have my vote.

Tell me, sriman Meester, if elected will you curb the Federation's well-meaning, albeit ethnocentric, cultural imperialism? The Republic no doubt greatly benefits from it's friendship with the Federation. Indeed, I myself have fought alongside Gallente, Intaki and Jin Mei pilots in the war against Ammarian tyranny - to great effect, I might add, because of said pilots. However, I can not help but notice that Gallentean agencies like to meddle in the affairs of their allies to an unhealthy degree. Of course, you're candidacy is yet to be approved and even if it is, I will not vote for you as I am a citizen of the Minmatar Republic. I am merely curious to hear your response to this question. Thank you for indulging an old academic.

Silly Mister Tuulinen. Civil unrest and war isn't anarchy!

Plus, I don't vote. Specially on strangers! And this person asking for votes is as strange as it gets!

I'm assuming at least a month of posturing and shiptoasting first. And then a week of logistics and a week of planning.

You would, of course, have the odd groups of capsuleers, like Daina Kim, flying sorties right away. As for the Empire fleets and professional capusleer merc groups, it would be about this time frame.

If your pet rock is viable citizen of the Federation then he/she is welcome to run.

You have to consider the huge amount of criminals and terrorists that run loose in the Federation, consider how come they are there when we have CONCORD patrols and Roden in charge? Doesn't security matter to you? For you will find none of it under Roden. Now maybe the past allegations of CONCORD bribery have something to do with this, maybe they are just incompetent and the current leadership of the Federation Navy is not as informed as it used to be as it is being kept rather busy these days. I certainly believe in the increase in he number of Federation military numbers as these are testing times.

For our allies I will indeed investigate the affairs of our people involved in foreign relations, as indeed all Presidents should. I would much rather work with than against our allies, if they ask for help we will seek to provide it.

This is a democracy, everyone should have a view on what kind of government we have, just not let their views get beyond reason.

You are bound to get all sorts of jokers running for positions in a democracy. And all their jokers are unintentional too. They also take themselves seriously. It's pretty hard, then, to tell which is satire and which isn't unless it's in cartoon form in the comics section or opinions section of any paper.
