Elections for SG Announced!
Elections are just kicking off for the next Secretary General of Uroca. Nominations have come and gone and the debate period is now here. Our current SG, Hekloslogravia has declined to run for a third term, saying that, "...there are plenty of nations in Uroca who would do well at this job."
Cyprecios, a newcomer to Uroca is running against Mittsville, a name well recognized across the region. When asked why he is running for SG, Cyprecios had this to say:
Mittsville has yet to respond to the question.
One of the biggest suprises this time around are the nations that are NOT running for SG. Wzzt, was considered a favorite by many, but instead listed several reasons why he had decided not to run this time. Included in his reasons was the fact aht he enjoyed simply being a government minister and only having one area of responsibility.
It is predicted that this will be a close race. Voting is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, April 8 and will last for a week. The new Secretary General will than take up his duties immediatly after the results have been officially declared.
Uroca Forums, v3.0!
In the midst of plotting the recent April Fools Day joke, the admin team discovered that the forums could be updated to the newest version of ifpb - 2.3.4. So as the purple joke skin came down, the forum was temporarily taken off-line to be upgraded. "The new forums are just freakin' awesome," says Wzzt, the leader of the admin team. He also explained that with the newest version, several features that required the use of mods in older versions come built into this one. Finally, the admin control panel (acp) has been streamlined and is easier to navigate.

Well I have great leadership skills for one. I have held several cabinet positions in the past and have made great contributions to role playing everywhere.
As for SG experience. I have built a region and have run a region from the ground up.
In the end why should you pick me? Well I am a committed member with alot of passions, skills, knowledge, and heart with alot of time to work with.
