Politics : Vanarch candidates get ready!

This week is a week of political campaigns, hidden strategies, and open alliances. This week, Vanarch candidates needs to convince players to vote for them, as the elections start the next Wednesday!
Each player will have the right to vote on one candidate per continent. That's a total of two votes per account. To earn the maximum votes will not be an easy task for the potential Vanarchs, in particuliar the guild leaders of small and lesser known guilds. 


For those first elections, we have already seen different strategies. 
Some guilds prefer to secretly secure their votes by establishing alliances together with large guilds. A rumour that <Elin Dance Squad> had settled an agreement with <Curleh Mustache> among other guilds had been denied by Mikichi : "We are not allied with anyone at all"
<Exiled> investigated discretly, trying to find the most profitable partner. 
We have also witnessed a big merge between <Whitefall> and <Retribution>, right before the election: another strategy to secure more votes?


Others organise a more visible campaign on the Samael Forum, where they present their promises and goals:

• Sylver for <The Crimson Eye >focuses on outlaw protection and is organising a Tournament, 
• Acharial and <Whitestar> promises services for the community and fun events through a video, 
• Thorsson for <Aequitas>' campaign focusing on low level protection and help, with a PVP disabled zone.
• Paralysis for <PRIME> is proposing a program to help players to level in great conditions in Val Palrada,
• Ironman <Evil Guild of Evil> want to ensure fun, no rules and PVP in his area
• Sunni for <Hentaï Pornstar> will offer PVP events and Tournaments in his zone in addition of vendor services
• Mikichi for <Elin Dance Squad> recently added their own campaign, making the usual promises concerning taxes and vendors, to wich they add a crafting service.
• Tech for the <Crimson Knights> is publishing his campaign, but has been relatively unoticed, at least on the forum..

But will those campain be enough for them to succeed?


Surprisingly, so far, the area and LFG chan has not been used by Guild to promote their Vanarch. No improvised events in game, and no speeches to convince the population has been seen so far. Either Samael community is shy and discrete, or very secret when it comes to elections.
After all, it's the first elections for everyone. It's a test for all future Vanarchs, and we can bet that the next election, all of this will be very different.
