BeBroccoli

## Simulami Times

Born in a tiny town in the Simulami Empire, he grew up in a family of miners and became a miner as soon as he could. However, in such a small town, it was easy for him to find his way into a governmental position in the town, becoming part of the town council. Around this time, he met a friend named T\_ea, who introduced him to an ancient but forgotten religion known as Teaism. They became good friends and followers of the Teaism religion. Sadly, only a few months later, about half of the town population left the town to found their own town. With this, he left the town to join Nightwater Port, and began working there as a laborer. After years of this, he decided to leave, going on a journey to a land he had heard of known as Frostmarch, many miles away, but he went anyway.

## Times in Ato

After a long journey, he arrived and became a member of the town of Serenity, purchased a house, and began work as a farmer selling his crops on the market. After a few years of a peaceful life in Serenity as a farmer, After being told of great opportunities in the city of Atopolis, he packed up most of his things from his Serenity home (making it a vacation home). He moved into an apartment building in the city, finding a job selling logs for markets. After finding the local library, he became enchanted by the books and history stored within the Atopolis Library. As well, he soon found an application to become a board member on the Atopolis City Council, and after applying, found himself a member of the council. After fighting against mayor Cactsus\_ in the trial where he was the prosecution for murder and defendant for vandalism in *Cactsus v. BeBroccoli,* Cactsus\_ removed BeBroccoli from the board, stating his actions were "against what the board was for". After this, Cactsus\_ removed him from the town entirely, forcing him to move out and back to Serenity. He decided it was better that way. His friend T\_ea made it his main home, however he was a dual citizen, staying on the council. BeBroccoli decided he was going to try to become the Esma Thane, and decided the first step would be to begin improving and building Serenity infrastructure. One of his hobbies was to make maps of Ato, and he travelled around Ato making maps, and was noticed by many, even the Jarl. Around this time, the Jarl changed from Jarl Shark to Jarl Makkis, someone BeBroccoli has spoken to about democracy. The day that Makkis became Jarl, he received a tour of Windcliff by Makkis, as he had finally arrived to map Windcliff. On that same day, with the new pro-democracy Jarl, elections were held for Thanedoms, and BeBroccoli ran for election for his home thane of Esma. It turned out that this thane had three others interested, though one (former Thane of Esma) decided to exit the race.

## Running for Thane

On that same day, with the new pro-democracy Jarl, elections were held for Thanedoms, and BeBroccoli ran for election for his home thane of Esma. It turned out that this thane had three others interested, though one (former Thane of Esma) decided to exit the race. His opponents were strong, with the Senator of Internal Affairs and Senator of Foreign Affairs being his opponents, so he had to begin thinking of a plan to defeat both of them. Soon after, he found another person ran, who was not in a government position either. During his campaign, he debated candidate Dragoncrepper and continued stating what he would do. He ran saying he would extend the H Line Subway west to Valfenhein and east to Circencester or even Atopolis, provide freedom of construction and freedom of referendum (ability to require a referendum for governmental changes). He also stated he would get the Serenity Wall complete (a project which seemed to be halted) and that it would go around Valfenhein as well. He also proposed that he may open a volunteer patrol force for the thanedom if elected. His final promise would be to maintain current Esman roads, and construct new ones for easier transport around the thanedom. On Election Day, he ran one final campaign, saying "A ballot voted for BeBroccoli is a vote for integrity, rights and democracy". Hours later, the election began, and he watched the live counts closely. It seemed very close, as 15 minutes after elections began, there were 2 votes for BeBroccoli, 2 votes for Dragon, and 0 votes for Random and Pandaz. By the next morning, it was still very close, with 5 votes for BeBroccoli, 5 votes for Dragon, 0 votes for Random, and 1 vote for Pandaz and a vote for "none of the above". It seemed like a real possiblity that Dragon and BeBroccoli would tie. Dragon proposed that, if they tied, they would share the Thane position if the Jarl permitted it. BeBroccoli agreed, and they asked the Jarl. Jarl Makkis stated that this could not occur, however whoever won could let the other have some level of power. By the evening, Panda had left due to corruption charges, and Random still had no votes. BeBroccoli managed to get his votes up to 7 votes, while Dragon got to 6 votes. The Jarl then stated the election would continue for an extra day, despite requests from BeBroccoli to end it. Another day passed, and it was tied; 7-7. He was given a decision-either go into a boxing match or bring it to a national election. He was unsure if he could win either of these-a national election would require more stress and hard work, while a boxing match would be over quickly. He decided that, if he was unable to convince the Jarl to extend the election by a few minutes, where he may get another voter, that he would opt for a boxing match. After months of poor scheduling, the Jarl stated he would simply flip a coin if nothing occured within 24 hours. Dragon and himself found a time, and arrived, with the mayor of Alderth coming to view the match as a neutral witness. After a long boxing match, BeBroccoli found himself victorious, with Dragon admitting defeat. It then simply came to waiting for Jarl Makkis to officially make him the Thane of Esma.

## Thane of Esma

The first thing BeBroccoli did as Thane was make an announcement to Esma; He then stated about the right to referendum and right to construct. After this, he announced the formation of EDOT (Esma Department of Transportation). He then announced various road projects in the area. He then built both a Main Street extension to the Belmont District in Serenity and part of the road from Serenity to Valfenhein directly. At this point, he heard of a plan to give Esma to the Greatwhite Isles, which was a monarchy. BeBroccoli was angry and tried to do anything he could to stop the plan. Eventually, he realized he had no power in the matter, and simply gave up. He fell sad, and became inactive. Eventually, it was clear it was stalling, but elections were coming up. He stated he would not run for reelection, and Makkis also said the position would be abolished.

## Thane of Atopolis

On May 27, 2022, after a discussion about a lack of a Thane of Capital County (the former one became Captain of Ato), and after BeBroccoli asked to become Thane of Capital County and no objections occured, so he assumed the position. Almost immediately, he set up an election for Mayor of Atopolis, lasting from May 28 to May 30 (Sign up would occur between May 27 and May 28). This was primarily due to the fact that the current mayor was unable to access the area.
