Sorry Evan, you can’t buy my vote. I’m more than happy to exploit corrupt politicians and then vote them out. You did sway my vote towards Ellen even more.
Thanks for the money though.
If I can’t play Guild Wars 2 at work, I won’t work in Guild Wars 2 either.

bsids abbadon is all that matters they could have shown us a cutscene of evon killing millions of women and children in organized genocide and he would still win cuz of abbadon
Evon isn’t corrupt. A few years after Lion’s Arch was built and was coming to fruition, Yomm, the merchant-master at the time, decided to join the council. Many of the council members were against this (believing him to only be joining the council for his own personal profit), but due to the rules at the time, he made it aboard. Not only did he go out of his way to strengthen the city, but due to his support and economic expertise, the city turned into the trader’s central it is today. Without him, Lion’s Arch would still be but a town. I believe Gnashblade is in the same regards. We need another Yomm for the city. We need Evon.
Besides, Kiel shouldn’t be stuck at a desk. She should be out on the field. She’s made to be a cop, not a councilwoman. The only reason she’s doing this is because Magnus convinced her to.

I think OP is referring to the “special thanks” bags that Evon “hands out”. A piece of voting paper, and a few silvers.
Edit:
@Evans: Well I’m not voting for you, for being corrupt!

Evon is a Flame Legion supporter. That alone should cause him to be thrown off the ballot.

I hope you are joking here. By this logic serial killers, rapists, drug dealers and psychopaths should be in charge everywhere.
Oh you silly people. Evon isn’t buying your vote. He’s simply reminding you to vote and giving you a bit of silver as a thank gift for taking your time to vote. He is just trying to be nice and you’re accusing him of bribery.

The fact that you missed the point is exactly why elected officials are often chosen so badly by “the masses”. The general voter is not that hard to fool and manipulate.
It’s very difficult for anyone to live their lives and not do SOMETHING stupid and regrettable that will haunt them. It’s easy to claim you have changed and / or hide some deep hidden agenda until in a position of power to put it in place. Individuals also have the ability to change (for better or worse) for a variety of reasons.
Power corrupts absolutely and very few can resist that corruption (those that do usually don’t live long enough to eventually succumb to it). History is always written by the victor, yet even the most beloved and virtuous leaders have left proof of various questionable and scandalous practices during their prominence. This fact is usually why politics attract less than moral individuals (or destroys the morals of those that decided to join the fray).

Sorry Evan, you can’t buy my vote. I’m more than happy to exploit corrupt politicians and then vote them out. You did sway my vote towards Ellen even more.
Thanks for the money though.
Wait until it is revealed that Kiel = Scarlet, the person behind The Molten Alliance & The leader of the Aetherblade, while Evon is Mr. E, the person who was assisting players with intel.
Riselight [WvW] – Elementalist
Smough The Cruel [WvW] – Warrior

Whose election was completely bought by another council member? Please, some consequence here.
Actions, not words.
