| With the following thread having met with no resistance, I would like for Jerome Twist to become current governor of Abregado-san. Under his governorship, Twist would utilize his construction company's vast resources to renovate and revitalize the desert world with school, businesses and attract further trading partners. A majority of these profits would go back towards the people who support him, with the minority's guerrilla attacks petering off as they realize the futility of fighting against a growing industry.
Owner, Terraform Construction Inc. Overseer, Abregado System

| I'll allow this, seeing as with my new work schedule I'll barely have time for most of my characters. Also seeing as how Akku is me. so yeah.

| This'll probably be fine with me too, from what I've read of the thread. However, management reserving the right to determine NPC public opinion (Rule 5.2), bear with us while we huddle on this.

| 'Huddling' is the official term for our top-secret managerial chat meetings, just fyi.

| We have our management meetings on Fang Island. The minutes are written in the blood of the Most Dangerous Game, which we hunt for sport on the island's rocky shoals. Lemonade is served at the meetings. Lemonade... of doom.

| In between meetings we also joyride around the island on segways. Segways also of doom. They're powered by solar panels. Clean, green technology. Of doom.

| It's true, but don't bother asking for evidence or anything. We burn all the photos and whatnot.
The lemonade is fantastic, though, don't get me wrong.

| That's not pink lemonade. It's blood red.
Actually, it's pink lemonade.

| Wait, I forget... did we actually come to a consesus? All I can think about is pink lemonade and oreos... but I always think about oreos. They're delicious, after all, and are especially delectable when frozen.

| Quick question; this is for the planetary governor, and not the Imperial Governor, correct?

| Planetary governor, yes. So, having convened on this request and smuggled our human pelts back to California and Illinois, respectively, we've come to decide that Twist's election as governor is fine if we assume he won because the election was boycotted by a more popular Muslim Brotherhood-style organization, Twist never quite overcoming his obvious handicap of being a corporate carpetbagger with a private mercenary army brought in by Akku's unpopular government. Not discounting the fine things Twist has done, but he has an uphill climb to earn these people's trust, and in my own opinion there's always going to be a large portion of the population already heavily-armed from the recent civil war who are going to resist him violently as governor, the attacks not petering off ever.

| And I also APPROVE. I would have more to add on as far as difficulty goes, but I think Jace more or less summed it up.

| Probably safe to call this APPROVED since we did huddle on it and I think we're all in the same place on this request.
