The winner being announced at the Swaggers Inn. -- Late last night, after nearly two hours of voting and an hour of counting the votes, the winner of the Vesper elections was announced at the Swaggers Inn. Olk Samsca won with an impressive 39.6% of the votes, commenting that «obviously I am quite pleased that the valiant citizenary of our fair Vesper saw fit to elect the right choice..,» still clearly overwhelmed by the results.
On the question of how he felt running against his predecessor, Kain Twothumb, Samsca noted that «I didn't really feel anything... It's not personal». Kain Twothumb, having been in power in Vesper for over six years and never having lost an election, remarked that he «lost fairly to an outstanding opponent that I [have] known for years and [I am certain that] he will do an excellent job for Vesper. I see it more as a win for the people of Vesper than a loss for me».
The results of the elections:
- 39.6% - Samsca of Olk
- 21.3% - Geronimo McShort
- 18% - Kain Twothumb
- 13.1% - Elliot Heath
- 6.5% - Lord Ikus Middlethorn
- 1.6% - Rand Darkmoore
Samsca was asked to comment on his feelings towards the City of Trinsic: «Well, I feel no hostility to the common serfs or to the sandstone bricks,» he said, «however, those who use its walls to plot against our fair land, I speak of both Bandits and Drow, earn my anger. The continued existance of the few fetid and debauched nobles who grow fat upon the work of the many causes me some displeasure.» Hesitating for a moment, «Obviously, however should those few change their stripes, as unlikely as it is, my views may change.»
Kain Twothumb, and well-known militia captain Hanse Davion, were known for their harsh line in foreign policies, especially towards the Kingdom. Weeks before the elections, the Vesper Militia had launched a series of attacks on Trinsic, further stirring the relations between the two cities. The new Baron of Vesper commented: «Unless the miscreant who presently holds the crown of Trinsic is willing to yeild,» he said, «I may seek to arrange a meeting between us to solve the currently outstanding issues.»
Lord Ikus Middlethorn, retired Duke of Trinsic, was heard remarking after the defeat that both Twothumb and the new Baron of Vesper, Olk Samsca, were «far better cheaters» than him.
The most important goals for the new Baron would be to put together a new city council, along the lines of the council which was abolished after the second Vesper-Kaldorian war, to determine Vespers new domestic- and foreign policy. Samsca reminded us that he would «seek to restore a more structured governmental system to the Republic».
The Poste wishes to congratulate «Baron» Samsca of Olk on his recent victory in Vesper. Advertisements and Posters
