So, just to clarify...this was an actual serious post about running for President of SL?  

Right. A serious attempt to run for a non-existent office in an imaginary government, announced in a forum that hardly any SL residents ever visit or are even aware of.  Have some pie.  You're welcome to a cup of coffee too.  It's a little cold. Sorry about that.

Yes, so..the "serious" answers are confusing, even if they sometimes try to address the laundry list of complaints.

I think we ("Royal We") get bitten by the "Oooh!  A post! Let's reply!" bug.

ETA: I have Southern Pecan Pie..

Pssst @Lindal Kidd, Listen very carefully I will only say this once:
Presidents don't wear crowns.
They are no royals.

Eh... Cary on folks, nothing to be seen here.

We are a very confused lot in the US, Sid.   LOL

Were you trying to quote Sid, as shown above?

 

Yes, that exact part where Sid says that most residents will never know about this. He does make a great point though. Approximately 200k people log in every day on average. This first post got 1.8k views in the first 24 hours, or less than 1%, given that every view is from one account only. The challenge now is to get at least 200k every day for long enough until the word is out there.

It's more likely multiple views from even less accounts.  Anyone posting on or following the thread would peek in during the day to see what new was posted.  Less than 100 even logged into the forums at the moment.  That doesn't fluctuate all that much.

If I ever win the super duper biggest lotto where I can get billions as a prize, I'll try to buy the lab and start a branch of SL - called Political Life!

And add a dedicated Off-Topic section someone on this board!

Seriously considers abdicating in your favor.

Seeing as the OP has no "technical skills" I don't know if they are the right candidate because they wouldn't have any idea if their complaints are actually able to be resolved.  Sounds like a lot of smoke blowing but then again, maybe they are the right candidate as that is what most politicians do.

I can't recall any of these runners saying one time, They are going to make my wildest dreams come true.

I so disappoint.... Sooo disappoint.

+10 for using "smoke blowing", "candidate" and "politician".

+50 for using all three in a single sentence

IF... I say IF, I were to ever run, there would be a pony for everyone!

Nah, the election world is greased with free beer.

Okay then. Beer ponies for everyone!

[Sid Nagy]

Wow, beautiful horses.
But I guess, they will not thrive on my balcony.
So I'll vote for the one with the most free beers.

I am writing this from 2027, using the new Samsung time travel app  I can confirm that Lindal and Sid CHEATED and rigged the 2022 SL election together! 😡...but in 2026 they were impeached ✊ And Sid is now president of Meta!  

But I won the 2026 election fairly and am now president of SL, so be very careful what you write about me because I will deal with you in a few years...also, chocolate cake now costs £100 for a slice, so I will send everyone a peanut on their rezday instead 🥜 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And I found the  in a junk yard, fixed the Flux Capacitor and reporting from 2028 after buying the Lab the elections getting redone and moved over to sister game Second Politics.

The SL sign-up changes allowing choice of names was successful and introducing the SL Smellitizers 2000 which you can small the food or a Mole that spent all day building new houses for the new Super Duper Premie people. Lindal still around and learned Sid is returning to SL after causing a computer to do a divide by zero and imploded Meta.

Now I hop in the Delorean and pop back to current time!
