OT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION 2023

As some of you may know, it's time for the yearly OT presidential election.
Denizens from all over the osu forums are encouraged to vote for the next president, one that will bring hope and prosperity to OT.
By the end of this event, the title of the fifth OT president shall be claimed by one of you unlucky folks.
I would like to give a big thank to abraker, Tad Fibonacci and ClevelandsMyBro for letting me host the election this year.

I, ShinRun wish the best for all presidential candidates with their unique campaign.
Similar to Cleveland's jizz from last year's, I introduce introduce the C.U.M

Hello, fellow denizens. Some of you may know me as the esteemed eight gen CEO of GhoulyMart LLC, while others may know me as the spouse of world-famous piece of software, [name redacted]. All of you, however, know me as your current president of OT.

I am registering to run for president once more, since according to the OT!Constitution, I am still eligible for another term. I believe that due to my experiences as president, I am well suited to the many, many stressors that occur in this position (cough cough the whole denizenship issue a couple months back), and I have plenty of experience negotiating with not only outside political forces but also fellow members of the government.

My vision for OT is to bring back Ye Olden Days of high quality RP, complete with copious misuse of photoshop, over-complicated political factions that do not matter in the slightest, and a sense of community that links both denizen and dweller alike. In order to achieve this, I plan to uphold the current system of denizenship and work with my fellow government members to create new measures to encourage threads that are entertaining and fun for all.

I personally have plenty of experience making high quality RP threads (GhoulyMart being my pride and joy), and I've been active on OT for over two years now. I've also been involved in the moderation of the famed OT!GN server, as well as the time-honored neus tradition of arguing with LoserOtaku about the blackpill at 1 am. Because of this, I am confident in saying I have more than enough experience on OT to be qualified for this position.

I hope you all will consider voting for me once more in the 2023 election.

So I'm guessing I can't run or even vote since I'm not a verified denizen yet. That's upsetting to hear. But even with that, good luck to all the people who are running in this election.

I was waiting for this for soo long. I was unable to vote last year because of being non-denizen at that time.

Mrs. Ghoulybits, you disappointed me this year. There were little to no new effort by the government in term of RP. The denizen drama was fun but it also happened because the government could not complete citizens requirement.



-remi will be this year president

I forgot what happened then. All I remember is everyone was talking about how denizenship should change. It's funny that we all were fighting over something that didn't even get changed.

Stomiks' super alluring and super convincing presidential speech


Greetings, Oldfags, Midfags, Newfags, and any other fags out there. I am Stomiks, OT's denizen stickman, easily recognizable by my pretty bulbous and pretty attractive head if I do say so myself. I am part of the up and coming 9th generation of OT and the head of British Megacorp©️™️.

I am here to register and possibly run for president for this year's election. I believe that with my fresh take on OT as part of 9th gen, I can give the OT!Government with new and creative ways to improve OT's landscape, and provide them with useful solutions to any possible problems that might occur during this term. I will speak to the hearts of our denizens, and devote myself to my public service if I am elected the President of OT.

My vision for OT is to improve our current reputation of being the garbage bin for the osu!Forums. And so, I want to make OT more welcoming for any newcomers and any visitors that might stumble upon this place, urging them to learn more about our culture and OT as a whole. I also want to turn OT into a place where threads with effort put into them would be highly encouraged and appreciated.

I may have been here in OT for only 1 year, however, in that timespan, I have made many contributions and experiences that would prove that I am worthy of being your new OT President. You may be able to find my full list of experiences in this thread, but here are my most notable ones:

1. Made an abundance of creative and high effort threads throughout my time here
2. Am apart of multiple OT-related projects together with other people such as OT!Tierlists
3. Wrote your vile and sickening fanfictions
4. Became your therapist
5. Became your librarian
6. Has experience in various OT!RP
7. Created and hosted the critically acclaimed, OT's Got Talent


As a closing statement, I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to read my presidential speech. I hope you would all recognize voting for me for this year's presidential election. And I promise, I will do my utmost in order to make OT prosper.

Hello, I am Tad Fibonacci.

I am the one who have nuked a thread so bad that it distorted the time thread continuum and annihilated trashipitus.
I've also rallied with OT Denizens against abraker, eventually getting him to sing I want it that way.
I am also the leader of the OT Socialist Party.

I am registering for this Presidential Election because I want to be the first non American president of OT and I also intend to elevate OT's quality of threads within the forum space.
I've been an OT denizen for quite some time now and have served it in various events as well. I love OT and wish to continue serving it, this time as a President.

Once I become president, I will make OT great again where Denizens regardless of where they came from or who they are will all be treasured. Denizens will be encouraged to make quality threads and the freedom to host and partake in fun events.
I will also work to keep OT as a fair and safe playground for all denizens.

I look forward to all freedom loving denizens at the voting poll.

Glory to OT!

Karmine
Ladies and gentlefags, I am Karmine, gen 9 denizen and I am pleased to announce that I will be a candidate for the OT Presidential Election 2023.

As you know, I have contributed to OT most notably with the highly successful OT!Song Festival thanks to which you can hear abraker sing I Want It That Way and where participants showcased their talent.
It also served as an inspiration for subsequent successful events organised by other denizen.
I have also created the mildly successful Pros & Cons Forum Game as well as made attempts to reunite with older gens with RPish threads.

My reason for registering today is that I have noticed a divide between generations that I wish to fix.

That is why, as a president, I would promote the creation of high Quality™ and original threads, allowing older generations to see a renewal of the old times while also giving newer denizens and dwellers opportunities to express their creativity through forms other than shitposting.
OT is constantly changing but not all changes are bad and I believe that while keeping good old Quality™ we also have to adapt to our time and some changes in the way denizenship and other matters are handled may be needed.
For these changes I shall consult with the population of denizen and dwellers in order to find the best solution to please most people and keep OT alive and well.
Moreover I wish to make OT a more welcoming place for newcomers and a place where everyone belongs and can spend good times, whether as active poster or lurker.
All of this aims to make OT a place where tragedies such as the Abralockapolypse do not happen and where exiles are a rare occurrence.

Thank you for reading my speech. I wish you all a great day and may the best candidate (me) win.
[ Sebastian ]
So far my vote is on Karmine.

Introduction

I’m the kitty that you all (should) adore from Gen 7 (yes I’m a stinky midfag) and I warmly welcome you to my short talk. I’ve personally been involved in quite a lot of community projects over the years, and always had been great help and support. I’m also very open-minded and politically neutral, meaning that I will always listen to your ideas, and bring democracy to reality.

Why am I running for presidency?

There are a couple reasons. First of all, the former president was not able to do much during her time. She made many great promises, but accomplished almost nothing. This has been very damaging to the development of OT, and the further implementation of democracy in OT. Financial-wise, OT had not been able to achieve a stable economy, and commodity prices fluctuated greatly. Secondly, I believe that I have the ability and responsibility to guide OT towards a better future. Many others have the same dream, but some of them may have an unstable mindset and this may ultimately lead to unstoppable corruption and in result, cause the collapse of the OT government. This will be discussed in detail in the next section. Thirdly, I personally take this as a great chance of improving my own abilities, in both social and physical ways. I have been the leading entity of many organizations, both IRL and online, but I still lack much in tying the group together, and I look for a chance to improve myself and overcome said issue.

Summary: Previous president bad, other candidates bad, I have the ability to be a good president.


What do I envision for the future of OT?


This may seem like a hard question to answer at first, but I’m sure we all have our answer down in our hearts. That is, for OT to become better. More high quality threads, more interesting events, and everything that can entertain us and relieve us from the tiring reality. This is my rule of thumb, all the way from the beginning. I’m very kind-hearted and I genuinely enjoy offering a helping hand to people in need. If given the right opportunities and resources, I’m sure that I can lead OT and build it into a utopia, a haven, a wonderland, anything that you can ever imagine. Clean your mind for a moment and picture this: There is nobody bossing over us every day, and we live a life only to our wills… This may be too much to ask the stinky politicians to achieve in the real world, but in a cyber space, we can go beyond. We can free ourselves from the boundaries of monarchism, capitalism, you name it. We will only achieve what everyone wants. In order to do this, I will empower everyone. No one will be ever condescended upon again, and OT can become what you want it to be. I will embrace and welcome newer members of community, and penalize those who wish to obstruct our way to true freedom and democracy.

Summary: You can do whatever crap you had going on in your mind and ask me for help if you need any.
