My name is PirateZack and I am running to be the first elected councilman of the Tower. For too long have we suffered under generic phrases and shady business practices amongst the self entitled "Non-Playable Characters" in the tower who maintain an obvious monopoly over all goods sold and traded within our social hub and home, The Tower. There is no overview to their operations, no lawful investigations into bad business practices, no law enforced nor any justice dispensed. Who guards the Guardians I ask? Is it you brothers and sisters, brave, bold and caring Guardians? No! It is Commander Zavala and Lord Shaxx, The Cryptographer and Banshee-44 peddling their un-regulated goods with no quality control to ensure the common consumer is safe from being swindled out of their hard earned glimmer, Vanguard and Crucible marks. Who of you my friends, no, who of you my family, my Guardian brothers and Guardian sisters have noticed that despite the name and painted designs that there are only several physical variants of each type of "legendary armor" and they are all priced the same at every vendor, being sold to not the ones who need them most, nor those most qualified to use them, but to those who have become close friends of that faction's dealer. Where is the free trade in that? I pledge to work toward first raising the limit, and then in time, eliminating both the Vanguard and Crucible Marks (henceforth referred to collectively as "marks") weekly earned limit and the limit of 200 total marks that Guardians are currently capped at holding in their own personal wallet. Tell me dear friends; What sort of world do we live in where a Guardian cannot decide for themselves when it's time for them to stop earning and how many marks they're allowed to have. That's not living friends, that just life in the cage of The Tower. I am campaigning for freedom. The freedom from monopolized NPCs, freedom from unscrupulous business practices, freedom from booty quality and substandard gear and freedom from the fascism that quickly encroaches on our good natured dance parties amongst our beloved Tower. I believe in freedom and with free comes capitalism, and so I will plan and inspire a free trade market that will reward those who choose to do business ethically and will impair those who seek to profit from our honest consumers. When elected I will prepare the groundwork to build and maintain an arbiter force for the people, made up of the people. Guardians with a long standard of distinction and good moral character will be awarded an badge of honor to enforce rules and regulation necessary to protect ourselves from those less reputable who love amongst us. Guardians of all classes will be encouraged so that Warlocks, Hunters and Titans can each know the warmth of justice as their brothers and sisters carry a righteous stick. Additionally I move to immediately appoint a publicly selected board to regulate, monitor, and enforce better business practices within our Tower. Once our "Better Business Board" is active I plan to immediately indict the Cryptographer on bait-and-switch services, false advertising, profiteering and falsifying credentials in addition to any other crimes he may have contributed to or has been in conspiracy with. Together we will cut out the cancer of corruption within our home, and only after reclaiming our home can we hope to reclaim our lost worlds. A vote for PirateZack is a vote for freedom.
