Please view the "POLL RULES" before casting your vote!   

77 members have voted

  1. 1. Based on the answers given by each candidate, who is best fit to become the next Governor of the state of San Andreas? Please view the "POLL RULES" before casting your vote!

    • Jason William Grey (Democrat)
    • Steve H. Hunter (Republican)


Recommended Posts

To add to Danger's reply to lol232:

 

Sorry mate but if we let everyone ask questions we'll delve into unfiltered and unpredictable questions that may not fit in the world of GTA. Your question was fine but we've got 12 people already asking their own question. It's all arranged so that each candidate gives 2 answers a day totaling 24 answers or so. That's a lot of answers already. The public can have a final say in the form of a poll, though. ;)

 

@Jason&Hunter: Jason typically answers early while Hunter answers near the day deadline. I'll only add the answers you guys give when posting the new day questions. That means that you two can go back and edit your answers BEFORE I add the new day questions.

Well, it's in their interest to answer them if they want my vote. Just like Town Halls, candidates will answer questions from random people in order to get my vote.

It's a gubernational race, every single vote matters. What exactly stops me from PMing them or bumping into them on the street and asking them these questions anyway? Might as well make it public.

I know that rules are rules, but without us rulebreakers, rules would be pointless.

 

What about asking questions when the voting starts?

 

I'll write in Jeb Bush if I don't get my question answered.

Looks like Arthur just answered your question. It wasn't the proper answer to the question but it was an answer which is what you wanted for your question, right?

 

Anyone else willing to make this comp more complicated than necessary?

I totally understand, I read that a former president travelled to every town of every state saying that he'd rather have lost 20 votes rather than 50.

 

As an undecided Independent, I have a question for all the candidates:
What is your take on illegal immigrants? How are you going to deal with them?

Many of these immigrants have travelled here to the great state of San Andreas in search for a better life, a lot of them are good people, they are willing to earn their keep, a lot them like to work hard and what they work hard for is the American Dream, to live a good honest life in the US of A, who are we to turn such good hard working people away when some of our own wouldn't get their hands dirty for a few dollars. I say The American Dream is full of Diversity that every good honest person deserves. so to these good honest folk, we should allow them to get a good wage with work permits until they get to become citizens, these people want to survive and I Jason William Grey will give them a helping hand.

 

 

 

 

Ask them a question but keep it short and sweet, none of the candidates are required to answer it either.

 

Also keep it satire, no real things that exist in our world, use the parody terms such as E-Cola and Clucking Bell etc.

 

If anyone wants to ask me any questions PM me and I'l answer it with the next questions, I don't want this thread to become flooded or messy with questions.

As much as I hate illegal immigrants, and as much as I disagree with you, you have my vote for now, just for being able to answer a normal citizen's question, and not just questions rigged by the crooked elite from Washington D.C.

 

Thank you, Mr. Grey.

STOP THE ELECTION, STOP IT RIGHT NOW!

 

It has come to my attention that Jason Grey is colluding with the Russians in order to hack this election. If he wins, he would have underminded this electoral process and is therefore illegitimate.

@Steve dogg, you may be interested in this; From my source, who wishes to remain anonymous, proof that Steve Hunter wears a toupée and is actually very nearly bald.

 

CPWeI07.jpg

 

Would it be wrong to pose the question of what else he covers up? Regardless, I'd suggest if integrity hair is your deciding factor, you ought to vote for Jason Grey.

 

 

FAKE NEWS! FAKE NEWS!

 

 

Question 1:

Crime is on the rise, it hasn’t been this high in 24 years. We have drugs being produced in the Alamo being smuggled in to the city, poisoning the people. Retroactive warfare erupting between gangs hailing from their communities in South Los Santos and East Los Santos. It reached the point where Los Santos has become a boiling point of corruption, fraud, homicide, grand theft auto, arson, kidnapping and sin. How do you aim to reduce this? - Lenny Scarpa, Club Owner & Businessman

 

 

Rest assured, Mr. Scarpa, that this is something I have my eye on. I think it has to be looked at from outside the box though - we're not going to have a police state if you elect me, and you'd better believe I'm not taking anyone's guns. Even if said guns are mounted onto a Savage attack helicopter.

 

What I will do, however, is reorganize law enforcement in our state - I will change their priorities. We have people being mercilessly hunted down for petty crimes, while only a similar (or sometimes lesser) response is given to far more serious crimes. I'm going to change that. We're not going to waste too many resources on minor crimes - consequently, we're going to be able to really hit the more serious criminals hard.

 

We also have to remember that when people can't find jobs ... Well, it's a vicious circle. I'm going to keep people employed; they're going to be manufacturing stuff; they're going to be building structures; it's going to be great.

 

People aren't going to want to risk their lives on crime if they can get a decent paying job with a little hard work.

 

 

Question 2:

I've live in LS my whole life, and there's been a recurring problem, which doesn't seem to have an end game. Gas prices. Every week it goes up by a few cents. Went up by 5% this last year! So, my question, with oil becoming a reduced resource, how are you going to ensure our transport is still running on the tracks? - Shane Twain, Moving Company Owner.

 

Good question Mr. Twain.

 

Personally, I find the idea that we're just going to run out oil any moment ... I find it a little too convenient for the big oil companies. What I'm saying is - to be blunt - they can jack up prices if everyone's convinced there's a crisis.

 

That's not to say there's no truth to it. Behind the most sophisticated deceptions, there's always some amount of truth - that's what makes them effective.

 

To cut a long story short, yes; chances are we're going to run out of oil some day. But I don't think that day is as near as some would like people to believe, and - most importantly - we'll probably have all sorts of highly advanced technologies, other resources, etc. by then.

 

I will put pressure on the big oil companies to lower prices. We're not going to be bled dry and forced into little toy electric cars, just because of fear-mongering. If we run out, we run out - it's not like it wouldn't happen some day anyway. We'll deal with that when it's nearer to becoming a reality.

 

For now, more cheap oil, more guns, more attack vehicles - it's going to be great.

 

As an undecided Independent, I have a question for all the candidates:
What is your take on illegal immigrants? How are you going to deal with them?

Alright, Day 4 questions are here! We're over the halfway mark - almost there, guys/gals! Day 6 is nearing fast!

Quick heads up that Friday night (EST) I'll be working so questions will be, at the most, be posted at 4AM EST so a few hours late. You both have been good with time, though, so I wouldn't worry about cutting you guys a few hours. :p

After drowning my sorrows I feel I can once again stand upright and take this opportunity to congratulate Steve H. Hunter on being the final Republican candidate for this election. Steve H. Hunter is such an outstanding member of our community and I truly admire him. You have the full support of the Deadly Ivy group.

 

To Krystal Methson I want you to know that I truly loved many of your answers and look forward to seeing where you go from here. Oh by the way, does anyone know what happened to Patrick Andersson?

Oh by the way, does anyone know what happened to Patrick Andersson?

I feel like his job position may have been made available after how he treated that intern. Or maybe Weazel just cut off the coverage after allegations of Daniel J. Crown bribing him, which is entirely false. As we all know, Mr. Crown is a very legitimate businessman and it was just another piece of propaganda pushed by the democrats.

Question 1:

Ever since San Andreas has been founded, its talented Construction Workers were its pride and joy during its economic boom, for they have assisted in building our beautiful skyscrapers and well-maintained roads all around our beloved state for our citizens and service-men.

However, over recent years, they have gotten slower in finishing their contracted builds before they were due, causing multiple projects to be postponed quite frequently. Reasons can range from how demanding the unions are, immoderate amount of breaks, and even how excessive usage of machinery makes workers feel less motivated to work.

As a Governor, what is your solution to dealing with this dilemma? -
Daniel J. Crown, Gold Crown LLC Founder & Owner

 

Answer:

I have notice buildings haven't been finished and its obviously way past the deadline, its not the workers at fault but the rise in crime and jet terrorism, workers are scared that some lunatic in a jet or attack chopper will blow them up, also construction sights have become a place of meet ups for criminal organisations scaring away workers and causing great delay. As Governor I will reduce the crime rate and make it harder to get armed with functional weaponry military vehicles, we reduce the crime rate, the workers will feel its safe enough to work at these sites and hopefully finish their jobs without fear.

 

Question 2:

It is no secret that there is a huge difference between the amount of men and women hired for certain jobs in this city.

The LSPD for example. I work at the Mission Row station, and I have made some observations. Rarely will you ever see a female cop in Los Santos. And when you do, we are doing meaningless jobs, such as standing outside police stations, or filling paper work. I have only been sent out on patrol duty TWICE, and I have worked here for 2 years. I feel like this is discrimination. Women are just as good as men at police work, if not more.

Are you planning on doing anything to fix this issue? If so, what?
- Officer Molly Hunterson, LSPD


Answer:

I totally agree with you, men have been seen as strong and can handle themselves, but what about criminal organisations and cartels, some of them are run by women who could break these men in half with their bare hands, whats the point in training female police officers if they just stay inside and do paperwork, this is discrimination and we can't ignore it, I will make it mandatory to give female Police the same opportunities as men do in the San Andreas Police Departments, as we have seen many times, they're women who can take care of themselves and still get the job done.

 

Russian Hackers:

I'm not colluding with Russian hackers, this drivel sounds like a Gordon Moorehead rides again story line, Reds in the bed infiltrating vinewood, have you guys been listening to Nervous Ron's radio station again, the guy isn't in touch with reality and needs help, have you seen him? he's a paranoid wreck, he's had to live with a sociopath for many years while being fed methamphetamine, this Russian hacking story is a conspiracy with no basis of reality, so I Jason William Grey will support the mentally ill back to the road of recovery, because Jason Grey wants to make San Andreas the best state for medical care and the best well being for citizens.

See there you have it. Our republican candidate answering questions from the public without deflection or misdirection. Straight to the point.

A simple down to earth, working man's shrug of the shoulders. He is a true patriot.

 

I hope that journalist Patrick Andersson does resurface otherwise it's going to get worse with failed candidates making up propaganda.

Totally unrelated, but did you know Jason Grey and his party hate San Andreas and kittens?! Food for thought.

The dismal number of votes I received indicates that everyone hates kittens. So, the joke's on you, Krystal.

Good thinking, Mr. Crown.

 

The way I see it, we're not lacking in workers; we're lacking in jobs. If people are slacking in these jobs ... Well, I'm sure there are plenty of people who would do them, and do them well.

 

We're not in the 1920s anymore - it's not like these Unions are facing particularly dire conditions. So, I will cut away some regulations, and if workers are routinely doing a sub-par job, that job will be handed to someone who appreciates it more.

 

I'm not all dismissive to our workers though. They have created much of our state, and will play a big role in creating structures in the future.

 

For one, I'll encourage companies to hire more people. That's a simple aid that everyone can get behind, I think - more people get jobs, projects get finished on time, all just for paying a few more wages. I will also see if I can't persuade companies to raise wages a little - incentives to work are good.

 

I will see to the problems workers have, but these jobs - if people don't appreciate them ... A "use it or lose it" strategy will be employed.

 

 

Question 2:

 

It is no secret that there is a huge difference between the amount of men and women hired for certain jobs in this city.
The LSPD for example. I work at the Mission Row station, and I have made some observations. Rarely will you ever see a female cop in Los Santos.

Are you planning on doing anything to fix this issue? If so, what? - Officer Molly Hunterson, LSPD

 

Excellent question, Ms. Hunterson (and a beautiful name, if you don't mind me saying so).

 

Now, I know Republicans tend to get looked down upon when it comes to issues like this, but I'm a fairly unusual Republican, and this is something I see to be an issue as well.

 

Paying one person less for the same job is wrong, whichever way it's cut. Whether or not a person believes women are as effective as men at law enforcement, fact is that they're doing the same job, and so deserve the same pay. And believe me, you'll get the same pay if I'm in charge.

 

Personally, I think ... While the average man is stronger than the average woman, granted, is that really a big issue considering the tactics police use? When you have 10 people jumping on a criminal, pepper spraying them or tasering them (or worse), it's not like they all need to be particularly strong anyway.

 

More to the point, I will make sure everyone is paid equally, and if I hear a lot of complaints about people being treated unfairly based on their gender, I will crack down on these places. I'd like to be a governor for everyone.

I know there's still about 4 hours left until the deadline but I'm cutting it here and I've added the Day 5 questions. We're almost done!

Once Day 6 is done we'll set a poll up for votes so I strongly suggest the regulars that view the thread go back to the first post and read all the answers given by each candidate! Now I don't want any favoritism/popularity contest. I want votes based on the answers given - if those answers are things a politician in the GTA world would say on TV in-game. So please try to make your vote based on actual examination of the character, not the member. ;)

Question 1:

More and more we see these military vehicles that clearly don't belong on our peaceful streets and in our beautiful skies of San Andreas, if you were elected governor what would you do about this growing issue that frightens newcomers to our city? - Amy Vinewood, prominent LS Tourism Guide

 

Answer:

Well you have asked the right candidate, your not just talking about tanks and APCs crushing cars and tearing up gardens, alot of these vehicle's weapons haven't been properly deactivated which has lead to being used by criminals to cause havoc, I'm not gonna ban the sale of military vehicles, just make sure the weapons are removed or properly de-activated. I know this will cause an outrage, but something so cool has ended up in the wrong hands and the crime rate has risen to an all time high and if elected Governor I will work to bring down the crime rate and make San Andreas welcoming for tourists.

 

Question 2:

Since moving here a few years ago, I have, of course, noticed the vacant Casino and the sign above it that says 'Coming Soon'. I understand there are supposedly legal issues and controversy surrounding its future; however, if you're elected governor, how do you feel about the archaic gaming laws of San Andreas and what are your plans regarding the future of the Casino and legalised gambling as a whole? - Ellen Bjorkman, Activist for legal gambling

 

Answer:

Well as you can see i'm a bit of a risk taker myself, this election has certainly been unpredictable like a game of roulette, I wouldn't mind going easier on Gambling laws, casinos will make Los Santos look more exiting for tourists, just look at Las Venturas, its one of the most popular county's in San Andreas close to Los Santos. I'd also like to mention that people need to understand what they are getting themselves into and not take extremely big risks, because this could also create problems with loan sharks so my advice to all of you is play sensibly if Casinos are to return.

Question 1:

More and more we see these military vehicles that clearly don't belong on our peaceful streets and in our beautiful skies of San Andreas, if you were elected governor what would you do about this growing issue that frightens newcomers to our city? - Amy Vinewood, prominent LS Tourism Guide

 

This is a subject I'm quite passionate on, Ms. Vinewood, so I'm glad you brought it up.

 

I'm big on our citizens rights to bear arms, armed vehicles, and armed WMDs. Everyone has a right to defend themselves, and besides, the people having access to Savage attack helicopters is one of the pillars of our democracy - the people should not fear the government; if anything, it should be the other way around.

 

That said, there is clearly a problem right now. They are tools, and tools can be used either for bad, or good. Right now, there's a lot of them being used for bad.

 

Aside from the policies I've outlined regarding boosting our military, and having a dedicated air force to take on jet terrorists - well, I guess I could bend from my more hard-line policies just a little, and put some regulations on when and where companies are allowed to deliver these vehicles. They're going to need to slow things down a little, and preferably (for armed aircraft) restrict delivery locations to airfields, as opposed to ... Well, just about everywhere.

 

That's as much as I can budge though - unless I'm really pushed. We love our guns, and our attack helicopters, and we can't relinquish them.

 

 

Question 2:

Since moving here a few years ago, I have, of course, noticed the vacant Casino and the sign above it that says 'Coming Soon'. I understand there are supposedly legal issues and controversy surrounding its future; however, if you're elected governor, how do you feel about the archaic gaming laws of San Andreas and what are your plans regarding the future of the Casino and legalised gambling as a whole? - Ellen Bjorkman, Activist for legal gambling

 

Why not? This is a good idea, Ms. Bjorkman.

 

I understand there are religious reasons to oppose it, but frankly, religion should really live alongside the rest of society; rather than dominate it. And I say that as someone who's not especially a gambling man - I just think, live and let live, you know? Let the vibes be peaceful.

 

This would have the potential to create jobs, as well as provide an attraction for people outside of our great state to come and visit.

 

I will say this though, that it needs to be handled responsibly. I don't want to see anyone disappearing over debt, or anything like that. That wouldn't reflect well on my supporting it being reopened.

 

I will open it up if there's a market for it, and it will provide jobs to our people.

Seeing the answers from both candidates made me feel quite satisfied, our society's future looks rather promising. Governor Cranley has given me the deed to this project last year as a gift for bailing him out of a DUI scandal, which is obviously something he has never done in his life, it's just fake news. Anyway, nobody wanted to buy it since it was unfinished and the deed itself was expensive due to it being situated right next to City Hall.

 

The previous man that owned this land was Devin Weston, whom has mysteriously disappeared without a trace in mid-late 2013, so the councilmen had to seize all his properties because they assumed he went full hermit and decided to hide in the woods. Strangely, there's no evidence of that outside of dead militias littered around his pool on his day of disappearance, but whatever, I got a free contract!

 

Thank you, candidates Grey and Hunter, you've both reaffirmed my faith in my future project that I can use to scam the citizens of the city even further!

@DeXiovi: Thank you! I had a lot of fun watching his cutscenes on Youtube to inspire myself. :p

*edit*
Day 6 questions are up! This is the FINAL day for questions/answers so give it a last push! Then we'll open up a poll so READERS please be sure to check the answers given by the candidates for each questions. Let's vote smartly, not bias.

@De (again): No worries, mate. The threads I make (and usually my posts around the forum) are a bit of a read so no worries on skipping some stuff. Thanks for dropping by, hope you stick around to vote!

Question 1:

As you all know, some huge companies have lots of influential friends not only in San Andreas. And as you know there is a shadow policy. Some CEO's prefer to make deals, to negotiate with their new government. They don't make crimes, no; they work with an evasion of laws and promote their projects concerning civil and municipal issues. America, as a whole, was built on a business. With that said it's clear that companies are the ones that bring the future towards today. As governor, how much interest are you willing to put business' before the people? - Andrew fon Dragan, Savvy Businessman

 

 

Answer

Ofcourse, business has always been a big part of human nature, selling items for gold coins, Business brings in tourists, we need places like coffee shops, clothes stores big car manufacturers, I do believe business and companies will always be apart of our future, I don't think its fair that big companies can avoid the law so easy and small companies will pay the price if they did the same thing, I do believe we should all pay our fair share of taxes which go to our public schools, hospitals, public servants and I hope in future that I can cut down how much people pay towards taxes in a better roaring ecomany.

 

Question 2:

As a long standing businessman in this city, I find the ever increasing presence of police interfering with my business to be particularly troubling. Due to their incompetence and inability to respect the law themselves, my associates and I believe it is the states best interest to reduce or eliminate the police interest in our business dealings. What will you do to accommodate our needs? - Albert Blackwood, Legitimate Businessman and Professional Male Model

 

Answer:

Well that is a hard question, I can't just have police completely removed from checking out business that may have illegal dealings and on the other hand it isn't right for officers of the law to abuse the responsibility given to them just to earn a promotion and a bigger salary, I talk a lot about fighting crime and sometimes it happens to be in the uniform that fights it. So i'm not gonna remove police from checking out business but to make sure the ones that are in charge of checking out for possibly corrupt organisations are not corrupt themselves.

Question 1:

As you all know, some huge companies have lots of influential friends not only in San Andreas. And as you know there is a shadow policy. Some CEO's prefer to make deals, to negotiate with their new government. They don't make crimes, no; they work with an evasion of laws and promote their projects concerning civil and municipal issues. America, as a whole, was built on a business. With that said it's clear that companies are the ones that bring the future towards today. As governor, how much interest are you willing to put business' before the people? - Andrew fon Dragan, Savvy Businessman

 

Mr. Dragan, I'm not planning to put businesses before the people at all. I'm hoping to do a lot for both the people and the businesses, but I'm not going to allow the people to get shafted (to put it bluntly).

 

I would like to cut taxes for both quite dramatically. Some would say, "Well, you're just looking to cut the taxes of businesses" but that's really cutting your nose off to spite your face - if the people too have these same tax cuts, then everyone wins. We also have to remember that when businesses do well, the people tend to do well as well - there are more jobs, and so on. With that in mind, I'm not going to try to get in their way too much.

 

One area I'm not going to hesitate to assert some authority on, is outsourcing jobs. I'm definitely going to make things harder on those who would deny the people of our great state jobs. The businesses will mostly have things fairly easy, but in this area ... Jobs are going to be coming back to this state, put it that way.

 

I hope that answers your question, Mr. Dragan. No one will be above the law (for the most part anyway), but I aim to make sure everyone does well.

 

 

Question 2:

As a long standing businessman in this city, I find the ever increasing presence of police interfering with my business to be particularly troubling. Due to their incompetence and inability to respect the law themselves, my associates and I believe it is the states best interest to reduce or eliminate the police interest in our business dealings. What will you do to accommodate our needs? - Albert Blackwood, Legitimate Businessman and Professional Male Model

 

I'm glad you asked, Mr. Blackwood - this is an area I have a lot of interest in making a difference in.

 

Right now, it's terrible. It's a disaster. Most of the men and women of law enforcement are worthy of a lot of respect, but honestly, their priorities are skewed and all over the place right now - mostly thanks to disconnected politicians ruling over them, delegating overly-harsh reactions to even the most minor of crimes.

 

That's going to come to an end very, very quickly if I'm elected.

 

First of all, the police aren't going to be expected to go after outlandishly dangerous threats anymore. With extra funding for our military, we're going to use them for that kind of thing. With a dedicated air force and tank battalions, your average cop is no longer going to be expected to be able to deal with jet terrorists.

 

Secondly - and very importantly - I'm going to make sure the priorities of law enforcement are completely turned on their head. They're not going to throw the book hard at minor criminals, and - consequently - they will have more resources available for criminals who pose a much larger problem.

 

I will not let you down on this front. I think you're all going to like the reforms I have planned if you elect me. It's about time there are some changes - for everyone's sake.

Public poll is now open! Judges and their picks may vote as there are no judges this round. I cannot stress this but PLEASE read the answers given for each questions. Yes, it's a lengthy read and can get boring, I know, but this is our next Governor we're voting for! Please view the answers given in the first post and see which candidate has the best goals/motives in mind. The poll will last 3 days. Any questions simply ask here!

Oh, and here's a voting tip. As of typing this I'm reading the question asked then I check each answer given by each candidate. Then I take the second question and do the same. I then judge who "won" that Day questions. I'll put my list in but it's basically this:

Day # = Winner

Day 1 = Jason
Day 2 = Hunter
Day 3 = Jason
Day 4 = Jason
Day 5 = Hunter
Day 6 = Hunter

So...I didn't think it would turn out like this. At first I had Hunter dominating the first two days as he was more comfortable talking like a politician but Jason took Day 1 as he evaded the first question saying it was up to the resources at hand while Hunter promised bridges and making Las Venturas pay. Good humor but the evasion of question from Jason was spot on. He takes Day 1. Day 2 is kept by Hunter. Day 3 was really hard to decide and I'm still unsure about it but Jason takes it with Ammunation reference and cat in trees. Day 4 Jason takes it as well for taking a stab at Hunter with the attack chopper comment. Day 5 is dominated by Hunter with his weaponized vehicles talk and the promise of more jobs by opening the Casino. Day 6 is taken by Hunter who tells Mr.Dragan that companies aren't above people, basically telling him off! I love that.

I'm gonna have to do some long and hard thinking on who I see in the actual world of Grand Theft Auto as a seedy Governor...

Alright, my vote is cast. The way Jason speaks about the fact he was a firefighter to save lives did it for me. He's playing the "human" side so well. When you look at both candidates they aren't as "satirical" as GTA Governors so the humor is a bit harder to find but Jason William Grey would 100% fit in the world of GTA. His overall persona/face/answers...it just does it for me. He's more fleshed out as a character. He's, in my opinion, more genuine as a politician. Hunter has some very good moments which makes me doubt my vote but Jason takes it by inches. And man are those inches good. Such good inches.

Best of luck, gents! ;)


mfw I'm unsure if I voted for the right candidate...
