The Second Council has adjourned and it was a trying one. By the end through all the ingame strife, personal problems and real life commitments only two Councilors were active by the end.

Well Done Nick.

Time for another Commonwealth Rep to step up and continue the legacy.

Having reflected overnight, I am uncomfortable with this move.

I do not agree that the president has a mandate to make any meaningful appointments in this way and do not acknowledge any authority vested with these appointments.

Elections are upon us.

I have run a fairly low key campaign with no adverts, I have tried to answer every question on the forums and talked of my campaign in general chat.

Please exercise your democratic rights.

Fellow Pilots,

I have put my name forward for the election for the 2nd Council in order to represent you, the pilots of the Nyridion Galaxy. I pledge to serve the pilots if elected with my best judgement gained from my experience.

I have founded and led a successful small faction for the last 9 months, the National Union of Mines, you will not have seen me spam recruiting as I only privately make offers to pilots who I judge will fit into a small efficient team.

I am one of the most advanced pilots in the game based on XP and have extensive PvP experience.
