[ At exactly noon, the following message appears on everyone's devices: ]

City Guardian nominations are now open.

Current Guardians and newcomers are welcome to run. Current Guardians will continue their positions until the election process is complete. In the case of more than one guardian seeking nomination, a vote will be held. Anyone else seeking candidacy must reply to this message by Sunday, December 2nd. If only one candidate's name is submitted, no vote will be necessary and duties may be assumed immediately at the end of the election period. After the nominations are made, Guardian Candidates will be given a period to campaign and the polls will be open December 24th-29th.

Current Guardians and their deputy teams who are not re-elected will be given a severance package that will last 1 month from the day they leave office to assist in the transition to a new job position.

GUARDIAN NOMINEES: THE REQUIREMENTS FOR CANDIDACY HAVE BEEN INCREASED DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND.
All candidates must submit the following information upon accepting nominations to be shared with the public. Anyone may nominate but only the official candidate's form will be used in the voter's guide:
Candidate Name: Full name in Western Order.
City Running for: Pick one.
Potential Deputies: If known, candidates may name potential deputies but this is not a requirement. This is not set in stone either, just a general consideration.
Candidate Positions: What are some of the candidate's primary positions on local news and issues within the area?
In-World Accomplishments: If the candidate has any accomplishments they would like to share with the public, they may do so here.
Hobbies: What does the candidate like to do in their spare time?
Other: If there is any other information the candidate would like to share with the public, they may share it here. This is for a quick guide, so please do not exceed 200 words.

Bulla Brief



[ OOC NOTES: Please remember that if your character is not active during the campaign period they will not be placed on the poll at polling time. Mods will be checking ahead of time, so be sure to use your character's entry tags! All candidates must fill out the brief form to "accept" the nomination. Please also note that the forms are to be filled out ICly, so characters can say whatever they want, whether it's true or not. These forms are based on player suggestions that were made in previous polls. For more information about City Guardians, check out the FAQ. Guardian Debates will take place on the 14th and a post will be made for that at that time (please respond before the polls go up so players have something to go off of for your character)! Time permitting for mods, another "profiles" document will be made this time around as well. :) Please let us know ASAP if you have any questions! ]

Okay, so, I finally got all the necessary paperwork and legaleese done and filed, so gambling on arena fights should be officially starting up in a couple days at the latest. I'll be putting a bulletpoint list of rules and the like in text immediately following this announcement. If anyone has questions or concerns, please feel free to drop 'em on me and I'll do my best to address those concerns and questions.

[Text summary]

-Must be at least 21 years old to place bets
-10% of payouts go toward paying upkeep on the arena, and oversight to ensure fights are not fixed
-Throwing a fight for financial gain will result in fines and brief incarceration
-Attempting to pressure fighters to throwing a fight for the sake of fixing bets will result in fines and longer incarceration
-Only participants 18 years of age or older qualify for matches that can be bet on, though anyone can use the arena.
-Oversight will be headed up by an independent entity that works with the Guardian's office but will have the authority to indict those in the Guardian's office should there be any evidence of foul play

[ Those videos people put on YouTube and such where someone's pet has taken a camera and all of the animals adventures are recorded while the pet parent chases the pet down for the stolen device? They're totally a thing Peter Parker never thought he'd experience, but here he is, barely showing up in the background while his microraptor runs through a park, the device held in her claws as she runs through tall grass, occasionally stopping to look around, scent the air, peer intently into the camera before barking and hissing and continuing on, just out of peter's grasp. ]

Clever Girl! No! Drop it! I don't have the money to replace that if you break it!

[ Clever Girl stops long enough to look at Peter, tilting her head and clicking her jaws slightly before she snorts, probably even laughs and continues on. How Peter finally manages to catch her, no one can say for sure, but Clever Girl isn't easily distracted. Except for food. ]

Clever Girl! Look!

[ The dinosaur turns, watching Peter warily while Peter is somewhat shown looking mildly frazzled but otherwise amused and kind of out of breath. He's holding something small. Something possibly edible and when Clever Girl gets close enough, he drops the piece of food. She drops the device and as she runs over to eat, Peter picks up the device to talk. ]


Sorry about that, everyone. She's been trying to get this thing for the past couple days. I must have blinked for too long, or something.

[ An inhale and an exhale as he reaches up to fix his hair before giving the camera a wave. ]

Hi. I'm Peter Parker. I just arrived a few days ago. You don't need to give me the run-down. The holographic lady already did, and I ran into one of my best friends from another universe. Get a job, get a place to stay. I'm halfway there.

[ There's a sound from Clever Girl and Peter looks off-screen at the vibrantly green and blue animal before picking her up and holding her in view. ]

This is Clever Girl. If you understand that reference, you're already awesome. She's a troublemaker, but...think somewhere along the lines of a golden retriever puppy. It's all play, and she doesn't bite or scratch.

[ Clever Girl headbutts Peter's chin affectionately and Peter sets her down, addressing the device again. ]

I actually don't have any questions or anything. I just wanted to introduce myself and if, on the off chance anyone from my universe is here and recognizes me, please say hi. Or even from the universe I was in before. That'd be good, too.

[ A smile, another wave and his feed shuts off. ]

Are you still here? Have you found a place to live?
