Samuel Bored-Bored

Samuel Bored-Bored was the 7th President of Insomnia Central. He successfully managed to rig 2 elections in his favour. He is generally regarded to have been a Somic nationalist.

## Early Life

Samuel Bored-Bored was born to Stephen and Tiffany Bored, both Stephen and Tiffany had the surname Bored, but they still decided to make their child's name double barrel. From a young age, he expressed strong political views. He strongly believed that Ariel was a clear threat, as he believed it was too advanced and directly opposed to IC. Samuel also expressed an interest in golf. He trained to be a junior golf player when he was 16 (1881), but in 1888, with the death of Beech Williamson, many more political jobs opened up. Samuel jumped on the opportunity to have a career in politics, pushing his golf dreams aside...

## Early Career

At the start of his career (1888), Samuel was working as a intern to a man named Roger Acesmith, who worked on the military advisors council. Bored-Bored pitched ideas to Roger Acesmith regularly. When Sherlock Bench became President, he appointed Acesmith as head of the Security Council, and he then employed Bored-Bored (1889). The young council member had some radical ideas about military advances; he suggested declaring war on Ariel, and spying on them at every chance there was.

## Senate

In 1894, when Roger Acesmith was appointed to the Senate (there was now 5 states rather than the original 3, more senators were needed), he was not expecting to be struck with a deadly disease. Luckily, before his death he appointed Bored-Bored as his successor. Bench's idea to split Insomnia Central into more states was not popular amongst the general public, but Bored-Bored, now senator of Boarium, assured everyone that this transition would benefit the general public.

Bored-Bored did not do much in Boarium, but his interest in the military increased Boarium's military spending. He also spent a lot of time building some good looking and extremely useful banks. These banks would later become nationally known - banks such as: Boar's Bank, Insomnia Central National Bank (ICNB) & Term Bank.

### Duel

Also in 1889, he testified against Simon Levi in Simon Levi's heresy case (he was accused of heresy against Alex). When Simon Levi was found guilty, it was mainly due Bored-Bored's testimony. Simon Levi then challenged Bored-Bored to a duel, in which Bored-Bored won and shot Simon Levi dead.

## Presidential Campaign

Bored-Bored ran for President multiple times. But after he spent large amounts on public speaking classes, he managed to boost his popularity to outside Boarium. He ran in 1906, 1912, 1918, 1924. In 1924, he finally passed through to the 2nd term - the election term. He was running against Normandy Wilson who was particularly popular in the North of IC. Wilson had entered the election term 2 times before this, even going so far as to win in 1912. Sameul Bored-Bored had the support of Shiverlous, Boarium, Pillia, and Paposterous, unfortunately he still didn't have the majority. He employed Tedd Levi in an attempt to boost his performance in Leviavon. It nearly worked, so Samuel focused attention on Leviavon. Unfortunately, Normandy Wilson took this opportunity and focused on Pillia. He won Pillia over, then with relative ease won back Leviavon. Then, a battle for Paposterous ensued. Paposterous turned in favour of Normandy Wilson.

This was a huge shock to Bored-Bored, but he had a solution. During his time in the Security Council, Bored-Bored learned a way to rig the elections from Roger Acesmith, so long as you had a lot of power, and could easily cover it up. Samuel did a fairly poor job of covering it up, but fortunately he was the president so no investigations were done against him.

## President Terms

In 1924, Samuel Bored-Bored successfully managed to rig an election in his favour. The actual results were:

Whereas Bored-Bored rigged the results to appear as this:

These fabricated results were seen as official for many years.

### Shipping War

In Samuel's 12 years as President, he managed to achieve his one goal. After Normandy Wilson accidently infiltrated a shipment of Ariel supplies, Ariel and Insomnia Central were on extremely rough grounds. But Samuel Bored-Bored perceived Ariel as their enemy, and immediately out-did all of Normandy Wilson's peace-making. He publicly infiltrated another shipment of materials. He also secretly sent spies to Ariel, without consulting the Senate. Samuel Bored-Bored completely scrapped the entire Security Council, after they disagreed with his decision to march troops into Redding to stop the trade-route from Ariel to Alberat (which went through Redding). Not only did Insomnia Central have no claim over the land they were crossing, but they also stole the cargo, which is highly illegal.

Ariel and Redding put together a treaty to get Insomnia Central to recompense for the stolen goods, but Bored-Bored declined the treaty and kept the goods. Ariel threatened war - Insomnia Central then declared war (1927).

After Samuel Bored-Bored convinced Tedd Levi to abolish the Security Council, he did not realise the one thing he would need in a war (besides supplies/troops) would be a Security Council. Many Senators had wanted to sign the treaty such as: Orestis X Papoulis Jnr, Paul Hill, Normandy Wilson and Pope Heath Harrison. Pope Heath Harrison (as the 3rd member of the council) voted against every action Samuel Bored-Bored made, but unfortunately Tedd Levi backed Bored-Bored in all his decisions, making majority win and his bills being passed.

Samuel Bored-Bored created the "The Bored Room War Council", consisting of him, Tedd Levi and Shivverz Patel, as his head of Security. Shivverz Patel had the idea of sending more troops to Redding, which later down the line caused a large number of Insomniac soldiers to be killed. Ariel made little progress, out of lack of care. Bored-Bored continued like this for the rest of his Presidency; even after he rigged the next election, he would draft an idea once every 6 months, and it would kill at least 100 soldiers.

## The Downfall

In 1936, while the election was drawing closer, Orestis X Papoulis Jnr was running and was looked set to win, but Orestis Jnr knew that Bored-Bored was going to rig the election. At the time, the Pope had full control of 'The Fist of Nicolas'. Orestis Jnr managed to convince Heath Harrison (the Pope) to use the Fist of Nicolas to investigate President Bored-Bored. Sure enough they found President Bored-Bored tampering with the results and had solid evidence. Pope Heath Harrison revealed this information to the public. The results for the election were the most favourable of any (legal) election, with Orestis X Papoulis winning a land slide victory of 245 - OXP, 32 - SBB. Orestis X Papoulis Jnr appointed Heath Harrison as his Vice President, and immediately ended the war, bringing the recompensation down significantly, and going down as one of the best Presidents in history...

Samuel Bored Bored, Tedd Levi & Shivverz Patel were all impeached from the Senate in 1936, and none of them had any political career after that.

## Late Life

Samuel Bored-Bored died 9 years later (1945) of a heart attack in his home office, whilst drafting a neighbourhood watch committee. He died aged 80.
