Marie asks..
I am concerned about a couple of things, however. As Oleg brought up there have been quite a few rumours that you've broken rules MA set in place on several occassions. In the case of you playing your avatar I think that's fairly minor and can see why you chose to break that rule. But it's still your justification alone that holds up that rule breaking. And you've mentioned before that you've made mistakes.
So I'd like to know, what level of accountability will there be for you personally when it comes to your decisions (to break rules or otherwise) to ensure that you don't wrongly justify your actions or make mistakes with dire consequences for honest players?
...........
As far as accountability, If I'm in a position where accountability is an issue. Then I'm going to have to answer for my actions to the players or MA... I would expect that..
I'm not running for a position that pre-exists, I'm running for a Position that will be defined during this first term.
I would like to use all my experience thus far to make the most of the position both from the standpoint of reaching out to the World and to empower Entropia players in playing a role in the direction of the Universe, using the Democratic system to Vote on important issues and for electing people to represent their interests...
If we are going to be relevant in Virtual Reality, we have to be more than a game. We have to be the first true Virtual Reality, we have to be self governing, we have to work together as the Citizens of Entropia to fight for a better Universe and to Help MA make the right decisions. We gotta get organized. MA is encouraging this by supporting this election. This is a Great opportunity for everyone in the Universe...
I don't expect you or anyone who might think ill of me or not share my taste, to vote for me. I would say don't Vote at all if you don't have anyone to Vote for. On many occasions I would have had no interest in Voting for any of the people running in the US or the UK..
But don't let me Spoil it for you. Just watch me make my mistakes, Vote on issues through the system when its introduced and hope that after me, If I do become president, someone you like better comes along to show us all how its really done.. But either way, I'm willing to blaze the trail and show what this position can be, in some areas I maybe stronger than others... I'm sure the people who might feel they have it in them will learn from my mistakes.

My other major concern comes down quite simply to my gender. I'm a rl female playing a female avatar, and often the gaming world can be very sexist. Entropia generally has been a little less sexist than some games, but the attitude to female npcs, pets and the concerns of women playing this game, coming from your planet specifically, has seemed far more sexist than usual here. As a female voter, how can I be sure that I would be voting in the direction of more equal treatment if I voted for you?
Okay obviously my planet does feature alot of scantily clad NPC's ... Female and Male. Hopefully you are aware there is now a half naked Boxer on Rocktropia that can be trained...
I know they are part of the Pet system, but i dont view them as Pets, we are just limited to the systems provided by MA... The Vixens Are androids and yes they do act as companions buy you have save them from being trafficed by the Demon Hackers to earn their affection., The Dhampyres only befriend you if you fight the werewolves and the Boxers are looking for trainers to help them with thier careers...
I agree the whips are a bit much, but it will take some coding from MA to add alternative instruments.. We can Vote on that maybe in the future..
My planet is a Pop culture Planet so I wanted to have a few Video Vixens here and there, they just got out of hand and took over the place. I like that The Universe does have its seedy corner, I think it adds diversity. Secondlife was filled with voluptuous scanitily clad avatars..
I definately have an affinity for the Femme Fatale, and I think Sexuality is something to enjoy and celebrate. But i think that 99% of Women who know me, would say that I have the greatest respect for women.. Ive spent my life supporting strong women in their efforts to grow and be bold and express themselves. My mothers is a hard working bread winner, So Its innate in me to respect Women for what they can do. I see all humans as Equal, Gender, Sexuality, race, etc, etc... I may appear to objectify Women to some extent, but if you take a look at my Movie Lucinda's Spell, which is very silly you can watch it on You tube... its a story of female Empowerment.
I'm just a bit raunchy in my tastes, but not to the exclusion of everything else.
