Hey ACP! Unfortunately there was some controversy over the Senate that ended up with its President retiring. I’ll be taking this position as President of the Senate. We need to get this show back on the road and get the Senate back on its feet!
This is a new process for Senate elections, but I think it will work very well. It’s like the old way in that anyone can run and be elected rather than being put on a list prescribed by the President, but it will also give all the ranks more representation in our government. Here’s how it works.
Brackets
I’ve separated the ranks into 5 different brackets to get representatives from all different levels. Some brackets are larger and therefore will have more representatives. You can find your bracket and its number of Senator spots (in parentheses next to the bracket number) in the list below.
- Bracket 1 (4): Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant
- Bracket 2 (4): Warrant Officer, 2nd Lieutenant, 1st Lieutenant, Captain
- Bracket 3 (4): Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier General
- Bracket 4 (3): Major General, Lieutenant General, Field General
- Bracket 5 (3): General, Division General
- Bracket 6 (2): Master Corporal, Advisors, ACP Janitor, ACP N00b, ACP Intern, ACP Graphic Designer, Creator/God
Anyone above the owner line will not be allowed to run for the Senate.
Messages
The signup form has been simplified this time around; since the leaders will have nothing to do with selecting Senators, much of the information required on past Senate signup forms has been removed. Instead, I’ve included a spot on the application for a message. Each candidate’s name and message will be listed in the second Senate post. In this spot on the form, write whatever you want to persuade your fellow soldiers to elect you. It can be what you want to do in the Senate, why you think you’re qualified, whatever. Just keep it fairly brief.

President, Vice President, and Grand Senator
- I am the President of the Senate. I will run elections and meetings. I will not get to vote on bills.
- I will appoint a Vice President. They will help me run meetings and act as sort of a secretary. Just like the President, it is important that, as an appointed officer, the VP will not get to vote on bills.
- The Grand Senator will be a member of the Senate and will be chosen for their position by the other Senators.
Rock on!
