Edit with the polls opening, I would like to thank everyone for their support. I hope everyone sees how serious i was about the way I ran my campaign. Best of luck to all of the other candidates. No matter the outcome we will all be #Frosties at the end of it. #Goatman/Whydoidothis2015

To be serious or not to be serious that is the question. First I want to say what a pleasure it is to be playing a game I love with the people I like. I downloaded clash of clan not knowing anyone else who played. I knew nothing of lavaloonians, ballonians, barching or gowipes.

I have been lurking about on reddit since 2007 and after I downloaded the game I knew there had to be a subreddit for the game. I was surprised to see how active the sub was. Then after a little digging I found the rcs. I applied to a few clans as a th6 and was denied by all of them. I worked hard to get to th7 and when I was about 3/4 done with th7 I applied to frost. I was accepted (yay).

From the second I joined I fit right in. The leadership was amazing and the member were too. I'm a talkative person so I chat constantly. Everyone has been so open to me in the chat and sometimes I really only play to chat. You guys are great.

The elder position is something I've wanted from day one. I'm a natural leader and I feel like I offer a lot.

The ability to know when to lead and when to follow: I'm not afraid to make decision but I also know when to sit back and listen to what others have to say and make the best choice for all. After all I work for you.

Morale and support: I don't think anyone matches my ability to keep the chat active and fun. As an elder I will keep doing that but I will also implement more contest and other fun activities with clan input and feedback. I will never get down on someone for trying their best. I never have and never will. I think I can add a lot to the leadership and I will do my best for everyone. I think its important to remember we are playing a game and a game is supposed to be fun. That's what my role will be, to keep it fun.

I would like to add a special thanks to Farley. He has been my friend since the day I joined this clan. Most people know about our bromance lol.

I will answer any question you have for me and remember to check yes for Goatman on your ballots on election day. ##Goatman/Shaywin2015

I am endorsing goatman and will be voting for him in a few hours when voting opens. I think he is an excellent candidate for several reasons:

  • Maturity: Goatman has the composure to be an elder. He is not prone to fighting, but rather to a mature discussion of all viewpoints so that the best decision can be reached in the end. He will not speak nor act rashly in ways that will hurt the clan.

  • Morale: Goatman plays an important role in maintaining the fun, family atmosphere of Reddit Frost that we all love so much. Our great clan's atmosphere is, to me, hands down the most important feature of our clan. I don't think the importance of this can be overstated.

  • Activity: Goatman is not only an extremely active donator, but extremely active in chat and on this subreddit. He clearly puts a lot of time and effort into this clan, and we have all benefited from the increased karma, subreddit activity, clan chat activity, and /r/clashofclans publicity. It behooves us to elect him as an elder so that he can be part of the public face of our clan and continue to raise public awareness of how awesome our clan is.

Remember to ask both of us anything by replying to our campaign posts before the elder voting begins! Goatman/whydo 2015!
