Democracy has hit Bucket town. After years of being a government free trading outpost, the town has attracted almost 50 people total, and almost 30 full time residents! With such an increase in people the need for some sort of law is evident. As one might assume, a lack of any law whatsoever combined with larger numbers has resulted in many residents deaths. Large numbers of the new full-timers are calling for an election of some kind. Rumors are circulating about possible candidates. What will come of this development is unknown.

...

The people of Bucket town have reached a consensus. A public official must be elected, or the town risks eroding away to lawlessness. While nothing official has been announced, rumors continue to circulate about possible candidates. The soft spoken, good natured Father Gerade is reluctant to seek any office, but his followers continue to urge him to do so. Benny O’Boyle, the only ghoul considered for office, is a blunt, no-nonsense hunter who is riding on the fact he was once a sheriff in some far away settlement. Finally, a powerful and mysterious new comer seems to be charismatically rising above others as a candidate, and his associates call him Frank Corrotto. Whether or not any of them will actually run, or if an election will even be held, is still only the subject of rumors.

...

The election is now official. With the majority of full-timers supporting it, bucket town took it's first public concensus. All full time residents and trappers willing to vote in the area have been accounted for, and those who are unwilling have been declared no longer resident's in bucket town. With the 12 dissenters kicked out of town, their homes where scrapped and used to make what will soon be town hall.

The only three brave enough to run for office are Benny O’Boyle, Father Gerade, and Frank Corrotto. With an election date decided, it's assumed the three will be looking for supporters.

Benny O'Boyle is a rather stout (As far as ghouls go) average height figure. By some form of selective luck, his ghoulification has been a lot less serious then most cases. that is, if it's dark, he's rushing around, and you never look straight at him, you may not even notice he's a ghoul.

Father Gerade is an elderly Catholic father, well, elderly by wasteland standards, at the ripe old age of 62! A old, wrinkled face and a receding silver hairline are badges of honor by his standards. A rather chunky, hunched over man, Gerade is none-the-less a great speaker and leader.

Frank Corrotto is a short, weak looking man with refined dark hair hair. His small stature however, holds great tenacity. He holds many scars, and seems to have came to bucket town to escape some fate rather then by choice.

Father Gerade, friend of all. Ghouls, Tribals, Wastelanders, he accepts all comers to his church, and plans to do the same with Bucket Town. If there was a word to describe what Father Gerade wants to do, it would be ‘clean’. Abolish Chems, first and foremost, and then focus on stopping Slavers in the area, and banning other unsatisfactory business, Brothels, Gambling houses, anywhere greed and corruption lies. Gerade then plans to create a group of law enforcers, members of his own church, to enforce the law, and keep watch at night. Eventually, Gerade will make Bucket town a safe, clean, sin-free town, with his own church at the head, or so he says. Those who are looking to aid him in this mission should seek him out in his makeshift congregation outside of town.

While Gerade and Corrotto look to become leaders, and mayors, Benny O’Boyle simply seeks to become the town’s sheriff. He speaks little of his own plans, other then those to stop lawlessness and make the town safer. He cares not for chems, slavery, or sex, but he sees no reason to stop or help them. Defensive fortifications need to be made and fighting and killing in the streets needs to be stopped. If you wish to help him, you would likely want to look for him in his own hunting camp far outside of town.

While he will never say it directly, Frank Corrotto’s main goal is to fill the pockets of himself and his allies, and create a satisfactory business environment for his own ends. Allow the sale of chems, and even encourage it, as long as he gets his cut. His main agenda is to force open his own personal Brothel, and ensure the interests of himself and his contributors are kept safe. This, of course means his police force will be large and powerful, but biased towards his own ends. If you wish to help him, and fill up your wallet in the process, seek him out in his large home in town.

After much deliberation (Considered by many to be trivial) a final vote was cast and tallied. Some where wary of voter fraud, but it was generally agreed not to be much of an issue in such a small town. In the end, after two days of open voters boths, a mayor was elected.

Edmond Gerade.

His victory was a great ocassion for many, and a reason to skip town for some. However, in a unexpected move, Gerade has 'forgiven' all crimes commited before his power, and wholeheartedly agreed to giving all citizens a blank slate (Including thse who helped him rise to power).

While many would be content to sit on their newfound power, Gerade plans to make changes immediatly.

Gerade has decided to contract out work in an attempt to create sturdier fortifications and improve quality of life as quickly as possible. Previous water and food shortages have only made the need more urgent, and Gerade believes it may be to long a wait for another Caravan. Planned improvements include:

Creation of fortifications. and establishment of law enforcers

Improved Housing.

Removal of recreational chems and synthesis of medical chems.

Discovery of a more stable food source.

Creation of an armory.



While the election has left stockpiles drained, Gerade is furiously attempting to scrape up the funds to put his plans in motion.
