CURRENT ISSUES

1. For the lengthiest time, Arlor has been beleaguered by malicious creatures. I will destroy this plague by appointing dedicated Arlorian guards to defend your conurbations, and I will guarantee the safety of the people of Arlor, from the dreadful monster hordes attacking Arlor.
2. The unemployment rate in the land of Arlor is getting out of control. As the President of Arlor, I would provide more job opportunities for the noble citizens of Arlor.

Drake, have you considered the effect a coffee ban would have on the coffee farmers of Ydra Forest? I support(
almost single handedly) our local coffee farmers.

Other candidates are rallying support to 'Burn the Bakery' but I say 'Burn the Beans!!' Grind them up, pour hot water over them & then enjoy an organic, locally grown and truly Arlorian beverage. Great with cake!

PS - Anyone that tries to ban coffee is a terrorist trying to bring down Arlorian society, as we know it; I say shoot to kill....

Name of Canidate: Potatomilk
Office Sought: Presidential
Name of Committee: The National Committee of Food and Potatoes

Running Mate: Visiting

Current Issues:
-Theres too many bugs out there. I will report all bugs.
-Economy. Items are getting cheaper and cheaper and it's hurting the auction listers. I will supply plenty of items of high demand. I will also reduce the tax by 2%.
-Potatoes. We don't have any potatoes in Arlor. How do we make french fries? I will create massive potato farms throughout Arlor to fix this.
-Holidays. We need more holidays in Arlor. Just submit your holidays and I will choose which will be a national holiday.
-Crimes. Lately there has been some injustice in Arlor. I will set up numerous police departments throughout Arlor.
-Allies. Their daily reward is starting to wear out. I will place more Allies throughout Arlor.
-Items. Items don't have enough choice and variety to them. I will supply more interesting items.
-Food. There is a MASSIVE lack of food in Arlor. As i mentioned earlier, I will supply huge farms throughout Arlor. This will even cause a 5000% increase in cake,coffee,bacon,potatoes,and also ingredients to make the food. There will also be restaurants,food trucks, and all that cook stuff you like.
-Entertainment. This is underrated. I will promote this by posting ads on billboards throughout Arlor. Also the promoted content will be ad free! There will also be radio stations to listen to while you are farming or waiting for the screen to stop loading. :)
-Exercise. Arlorians aren't getting enough of it. I will set up gyms throughout Arlor.

Also I will give this to all my voters:http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160518/8a604cfddf842566dba5d8ac9ec10043.jpg

Name of Candidate: Mimmay

Party Affiliation: The Greater Good

Office Sought: Presidential

Name of Committee: Decisive Union Mim Launched Uniting People (DUMLUP)

Running Mate: Tottiee

Current Issues:

Bugs:-
Various bugs will be squished to eradicate confusion among commonfolk. Which ultimately will lead to a better game-playing environment. Plus, squished bugs can be fed to pets which lowers their feed cost :)

Bans:-
Bans on Arlorians will never happen unless it is crucial for the community. Legal action will be taken where justice will be served at the new (to be built) High Court in Keyls. Also bug exploitation will never happen ever again cuz every update will be double checked :)

Entertainment:-
I will implement Radio service which play the music you like, LiVe during gameplay so that you dont sleep while farming watever you farm :)
Also, The new Arlor Hotel comming soon will have a new Mini-Games section through which you can earn Mim Tokens on games which will payout for new pets (which will not be recoloured!).

Cakes:-
I have noticed that my fellow competitors have major issues they wish to fix, like the cake scarcity in Arlor. I will help out for this cause and hire chefs and scientists to create recipes for SuperCakes! Which are cakes that come in various flavourings, when on consumption provides a player with a specific buff for 10minutes. That is, the Coffee cake provides Alertness ( a super speed buff), Caramel provides every enemy hit by player to get stuck in a gooey caramelly pool of sugar, & the infamous Buttercream Frosted Cupcakes which has a 30% chance to summon pools of buttercream which makes foes slip and unable to get off the ground for 7seconds.

Extra:-
We also need more Country banners. I will fix that issue :D

Office Sough: Presidential
Name of Committee:

THE ARLORIAN'S LEAGUE(TAL)


RUNNING MATE: KOOOTHI
CURRENT ISSUES:

1)one of the biggest problem of AL is the bots

SOLUTION

anyone can easily sign up using the current email login setup,even if there is no existing email id one can create a account and its a easy job no authentication required but if it is made compulsory that one must have a valid email id,the story becomes a little complicated and the number of bots will surely be reduced

RESULT:

stop the gold sellers,stop the people who creates newer accounts for gold

2)The economic depression which is stated by most of the people here had been already solved! thank sts for that!

THE PROOF!!

fossil 1 month back while economic depression was there : 500k
present price of it : 2m

3)Scammers

SOLUTION:

scammers are the biggest threat of arlor,each second someone scams other and the time sts finds that someone had actually scammed,the scammer had already transferred his debt to a newer account,to solve this you can create another sub thread like the( general discussion,al traders market) and people can put the scammers name over there,rather than mailing you,because daily u get numerous mails which are of different topic and also make this thread private to sts only so that as u sts say that these sort of thread can create violence,so that it can only be u and the victim.

RESULT:

BY THIS STS CAN GET RID OF A SCAMMER MUCH FASTER,SCAMMER FREE ENVIRONMENT


4)BRINGING BACK THE COLLECTIBLES:

COLLECTIBLES- One of a group or class of objects, such as period glass or historical memorabilia, sought by collectors ( freedictionary)

so if you bring these stuffs back to game,the meaning of the so called collectible is lost

EXAMPLE:

steel commando vest

before: 1m-2m
present-90k

5)BUGS

SOLUTION:

before releasing a new update,just send us a example version to a picked amount of people,so that they can use it and give u the feedbacks of it.

RESULT:

no more bugs


THERE IS NO USE OVER KNOWING THE BUGS AFTER PEOPLE HAVE NOTICED IT ALREADY

AND HAD BEEN AFFECTED BY IT

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE

WHY VOTE FOR THE PEOPLE,WHO POST UNREALISTIC STUFFS OVER HERE,JUST LIKE BRINGING RADIOS,CAKE PARTY AND STUFF,LOOK FOR THE REAL,THERE IS A LOT TO CARE ABOUT,FIRST LET'S TALE THE QUOTE(A DARK SHADOW HAS FELL ON ARLOR) FROM THE HISTORY OF ARLOR

(Wearing anti-harassment gloves made of durian skin. Just don't pick your nose while wearing them.)

Running Mate

151482
Lugs
(Wearing Durian Plates of Assault)


Party Affiliation: DRUGGED (Durian Reform Unified Good Governance Election Division)
Office Sought: Presidential
Name of Committee (In Full): Team Durian: Change You Can Smell

A Note on Durians for the Uninitiated:
The problems faced by Arlor today require the kind of tough love approach embodied in durian. What's durian, you might ask. Well, fellow Arlorites, it's none other than the king of fruits.

Behold.

151483

Yep, inside that spiky, tough carapace nestles an ambrosial golden flesh: silky as the smoothest fondant; creamy as the richest mousse; sweet as the finest honey; and fragrant as...well, the subtlest perfume known to mankind (and nottkind).

This thorns-outside-mush-inside philosophy will characterize how Arlor is governed under the aegis of my administration.

CURRENT ISSUES
Education and training of new players. To keep new players from wandering and blundering across Arlor when they are not begging in cities, a comprehensive training regime will be conducted for them at camps run by veteran soldiers that include Major Payne, Captain Rutger, Sergeant Gunn, etc. These seasoned combatants will shape those new to AL into battle-hardened, cunning, self-reliant fighting beasts (think Rambo) to be unleashed onto the hapless enemies of Arlor to come home wreathed in glory and loot.

Proliferation of durian in Arlor. Durian is the panacea for whatever ails a nation. From hunger to security issues, durian can provide the answer. It can be made into anything from crepe filling, ice cream, candy, crisps, pudding, mousse, even cake. Animals are also insatiably fond of durians: from tigers to elephants to your very own Nekro, they will eat durian with great relish. This means that durian can serve as a prime mover and shaker of the economy, a commodity to profitably speculate on, a basis for national wealth.

To this end, my administration will:

Turn fertile well-irrigated areas in Brackenridge (especially those around the Aqueducts) into durian orchards
Repel the bandits of Ydra and convert the forest into durian farms
Exorcise the zombies of Dead City and revitalize the area for more durian cultivation
Launch aggressive naval campaigns to purge Kraken Isles of pirates determined to hijack ships with durian cargo
Construct hothouses in Nordr to ensure year-round supply of durians
Initiate massive campaigns against GMO durians in Shuyal that had led into bizarre mutations such as the spiky wolves of Shuyal. Revive Undim Fields as prime durian agriculture area
Fund research into recycling of Tindirin dragon...mulch to fertilize durian plantations in hopes of getting more potent yield
Fund research into use of durian as projectile weapons against enemies in Ren'gol and Underhul. Some early examples:


151477
Durian fireball

151478
Durian grenade

These endeavors will require a sizable number of manpower, opening massive amount of employment for the skilled and experienced Arlorites, including graduates of our training camps. As lucrative job opportunities open in durian trade, spending power will increase, the sweet luscious creamy reward waiting within the no-nonsense spiky armor of our tough exterior.

So forget all the bruise-prone potatoes (and turnips); no more squishy berries and blushing apples; eschew the coddling, cloying sweetness of baked goods. Vote for the real thing.
