John Breasly wrote: I'm not going to vote just yet, I'm going to make you convince me why you should be leader of Korea. Here's why I don't want to support:


 * Korea had little to no power in the Caribbean during this time period
 * I've never heard of you or your guild(s)
 * I have not seen your leadership capabilities put to use (dealing with criticism, making hard choices, etc.)

I'm not asking for any physical demonstrations, I just want to see a good, convincing argument. Even if I disagree with it, as long as you deliver a good argument, you'll have my vote. Korea may not have had much involvment with the caribbean:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseon

In the Early Joeseon Period, the article presenst a great example in detail of the war stadegy and expiernce of the people. Also, later they survived much hardship such as poltical instability and invasions from pirates and Japan. This certinly weakend the kingdom, yet our spirits were kept alive by military power and motivation.

"Life is mean and a distugsting place, it will beat you down and keep you there if you let it. But it doesn't matter how hard life beats you, it only matters that you rise once more than the number of times life has beaten you down. If you want to be prospurous you gotta be able to take the hits!" this qoute accomponies this dynasty very well, no matter how many times the Joseon were invaded, sacked, and misleaded, they stayed alive and pushed through those dark ages. Although, Korea was a world power at that time, and it really wasn't close to the caribbean. Yet, the Chinese and other Asain explorers (including Korean) explored current day North America, and some of the caribbean.

You may not have heard or seen my guilds, but potco was a rather large game last year,  and two years ago. This year potco has died down quite a bit, but it is still decently sized. Though, many other people have seen my guild:

" I see the guild everywhere"

"And yall are BEAST :D"

Maybe you have seen use, and you don't remember, because Co. Special Ops died over a year ago.

Anwyay I have a good example of dealing with  criticism  today, it may not have been the same  criticism,

I was on Abassa, and a pirate (not mentioning named) came up to me, and because of my skin color (black) he started saying racist comments that he purposly spelled incorrectly so he wouldnt get banned: "You're a N*****" "Your people are illerterate"

"You infest our country"

"Go back to Africa, you slave"

Of course, I don't appreciate those comments, but I just ignored them. Also I recieved much non-cunstructive  criticism from Co. Special Ops last year, but I was 12 and I didn't handle it well, but now that Im turning 14 August 26th I have become much more mature, some jumpers, and others have beaten mein svs and pvp and have made comments, and also,  Co. Special Ops was originally a private guild and my friend said, "this guild sucks and it boring have oher people join" I didn't take offense to that, I tried it out out and it worked, also when I was GM of British Warlords my friend also said, "too many noobs, your guild is full of them" So I kicked them and invited higher levels. I really hope this helped your vote decision, John, and I hope you have a good evening and a great summer!
