    Beskar is the finest man for this job.

    He is a true communist, and he can be trusted to carry out his duty with great honor and responsibility. He will carry us all out alive, for we the common men are each just as important to the People's Nation than any man who claims false superiority. I trust him to be our leader, and indeed he was my choice straight from the beginning, before he even cast his own vote!

    Elect: Beskar

    How do I know these things? Well, it is simple, really. I myself am a very capable Communist. I am planning, one day, to infiltrate the capitalist pig society of United States, and to enlighten them with the knowledge of Communism! I will turn one of the strongest countries of the world into one of China's strongest allies in Communism!

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    For those who don't catch the reference, I was the last surviving member of the Communist Cell in Capo III, and I managed to infiltrate ATPG the CIA Agent's reign of terror, turn one of his top doctors against him, set in motion the plan that allowed a serial killer to kill the (supposedly invincible) director, and then coordinate a union between the Communists and the last Mafia family in a last-gasp effort to take down ATPG. In the end, I failed, but I was doomed from the start due to the strong CIA faction


    For this reason, I present myself as a potential officer under Beskar's leadership, provided the comrade believes I can be useful to furthering our goals.

    GeneralHankerchief, though you were not the man I voted for, you are our elected leader and I shall follow you to the ends of the earth.

    By the will of the people, and therefore the country, you are the best man for this job and I acknowledge that.

    I would like to formally announce my desire to work as one of your officers, that I might better further your goals and therefore the goals of the people.

    My previous announcement has been quoted for your convenience; it will show you why I am suitable for the task.

    I flat out refuse to support either candidate in this mockery of an election. It's politicized and corrupt to it's core - posters, vandalism, underhanded tactics, no base or platform for either candidate, corrupt tactics such as bribery.

    AND LOOK AT ALL OF YOU.

    You eat it up!

    You act as if this is the best yet, and do not think, just follow. No wonder the capitalists, the imperialists, and your masters lord over you. You can all be appeased with shiny lights, fancy words, and empty promises. I am sorry but I from here on out will continue to place a vote of no confidence for either candidate - watch and see, not one of them will act in the ideology of communism, but set-up a fascist police state to lord over us.

    Speak out, and you will be silenced! Move out of place, and be whipped! Ask for more, and lose all! That is what you are voting for - no change except who will rule over you.

    You are helping our enemies comrade YLC but this attempt to destroy the heart of our organisation. What is it that you want from the candidates?If only we had Mao here to tell us what to do.

    You are quick to point out Beskar's flaws, YLC, but do you not have your own fair share as well?

    Comrade YLC seems to be implying that he is perfect. Perhaps he should voluntarily seclude himself for a session of self-criticism?

    No, I am not, I want to strengthen us and follow the communist ideals, but it's nice to see a sheep with teeth instead of gums. I want clarity and openness from the Chairman, and voted in members for the officers, not lapdog appointees.

    See, this is why I am talking about! SHEEP, SHEEP, SHEEP, SHEEP, SHEEP, SHEEP, SHEEP. MINDLESS FOLLOWER! You immediately find cause to single out and protect Beskar! I accused both, not one! You're a follower and you show it! BOTH candidates are so far unworthy, not just Beskar. They are giving us nothing new, they do not follow the communist doctrine or even show signs of accepting it! You're electing yet another dictator for yourself!

    And how dare you imply I am perfect! How dare you imply I want to be elected "Tyrant"!No one is perfect, all are susceptible to corruption, and this is why it is the proletariat, who, as a whole, should lead. Tyranny of the Many, not Tyranny of the One. All you are doing is giving your voice away, and all I am doing is refusing to do so!

    Personally, I liked YLC's post, it was really gutsy and has clearly generated alot of discussion already, and that's never a bad thing in the early stages of a game.

    However, there's one little thing that niggled at me:

    The four officers are all power roles (detective, doctor, role-blocker, unknown role); by publicly electing them, you're allowing the mafia to know who has been chosen as your aides, thus painting them as a target for murder. Of course, that's if a mafia doesn't manage to infiltrate your officers to begin with.
