Come with me the time is right, there's no better team
Arm in arm we'll win the fight, it's always been our dream

[G13]

I thoroughly enjoyed all those puns, and your new clock sig is genius!

[Timekeeper]

Haha, thank you!
Puns and Pokémon just seem to work so well together don't they?

[Psychotic]

Nice. I'll definitely be joining this party.

[Timekeeper]

Ah Walrein, what a pleasure it is for you to join us!

[Psychotic]

I did not even know that was a Pokemon. Holy :bou::bou::bou::bou:.

Also I think my latest name change just brought EoFF to its knees hahaha. :lol:

[Timekeeper]

Yeah, there's a Pokémon for everything and everyone these days! That's one of our Poké-policies actually.

I do like the way your name exceeds the boundaries of the forum, have you seen what it looks like when you create a new thread? :D

[Remon]

OH MAN! I missed the pokeparty :cry:

[NorthernChaosGod]

I support Pokemon and all the puns.

[Madonna]

You need help. I will be it.

[Timekeeper]

OH MAN! I missed the pokeparty :cry:

It's never too late for the PokéParty!

Your name even works so well to become Remoraid! If you're into that kind of thing...http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/9/95/223Remoraid.png/140px-223Remoraid.png

Good to have your support guys, especially you Lynx, and wow I love your avatar!

[Hollycat]

remon is still with me

[o_O]

I wish to join this fine establishment!

[Madonna]

Glad to be aboard, Pokékeeper. Looks like we have another member already.

[Election Booth]

The Poké Party is strong already, I'm impressed!

[Timekeeper]

Good good, I like that we're moving!
Shall we look at a finding ourselves a party mascot, group sig or anything along those lines?

I've found our answer to the 501sts for now...

http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lf82wkcy3r1qbt6dwo1_500.jpg

EDIT: Brilliant work, beat me to it!

[Jiro]

I suggest you recruit the wayward pokémon trainer PGdesu. He will aid you, though whether he proves to be an asset or not will remain to be seen.

But, I would like to say you're reppin' a lovely set of adverts and such. Very nice work, Poké Party! Keep in the game, don't faint yet!

[Timekeeper]

We're looking to bring PG into our party, everyone knows a good Pokémon Party should have 6 members, and although we're not quite there yet, the journey's just begun!

[rubah]

Pikachu Club?!

YES
http://www.snowy-day.net/stuff/others/sleepychu.gif

[Timekeeper]

Are you showing your support for the PokéParty?
You would most certainly be made the leader of the Pikachu Club.

[Jiro]

Look at you Nick, handing over the reins as quickly as you can! Have some confidence in your ability as a leader, jesus. Miss rubahs should be your fourth member then, a nice save if it works for you.

[G13]

I've found our answer to the 501sts for now...

You little bastards! You'd better wash that :bou::bou::bou::bou: off! :mad2:

[o_O]

This party needs more interactive signatures! This shall be my mission.

[Timekeeper]

Look at you Nick, handing over the reins as quickly as you can! Have some confidence in your ability as a leader, jesus. Miss rubahs should be your fourth member then, a nice save if it works for you.

Excuse me, but there's more to Pokémon than Pikachu. The Pikachu Club is a large part of the PokéParty, and I thought rubah should be given lead of that particular faction.

[Psychotic]

I'm Poké through and through now. :) Arm in arm we'll win the fight, it's always been our dream!

[Jiro]

Guess I should do a story on this or something. Congrats!

[Timekeeper]

Excellent!
We can add another badge to our belt. Good to have you with us Walrein.

EDIT: If anyone thinks this useful/usable, please use it.

Each and every citizen of EoFF is welcome to launch his or her own party to contest these elections. You will have approximately 72 hours in which to prepare. Any party who fails to have a Party Name, Party Motto, Campaign Slogan and a minimum of Four (4) Members will be unable to continue. Each party should create its own Party Thread in the land of General Chat, and encourage friends, family and neighbours to participate for a greater democracy!
Dear Pokékeeper, you may want to clearly note both the Party Motto and Campaign Slogan in the first post. Election Booth is weak against properly filled out forms.

That banner looks good. I like it.

[Psychotic]

Clearly either the motto or the slogan needs to be "Gotta Catch 'Em All"! I just don't know which one!

[Remon]

Eyes on all XD

[Freya]

I am impressed with this party pulling through late in the game as it did! Go pokemon party!

[qwertysaur]

I had a weird feeling something was pulling me here all day.

My name is already ready for this party too. :p

Edit: Also

I choose you Poke party!

Genius Lynx is correct. You have been permitted to the next round, however I require your slogan and motto be present in the OP shortly, otherwise the party will have to fold. Please do not fold, Poké Party.

[Psychotic]

I would like to nominate Genius Lynx as Minister of the Arts! He is truly a fabulous artist.

[qwertysaur]

I think PsychoticWalrein would be a great minister of communication.Sheercold is a 1 Hit KO. :p

[Timekeeper]

Brilliant, we now have the six members we need to make a proper Pokémon party! Thank you qwerty and Ice.

Motto and Slogan have been defined in the top post, I've decided to leave out "Gotta Catch 'em All" as it is and always will be the overriding Motto of Pokémon. This is up for debate though, what do you guys think?


Woah, things change quickly when you look away for a bit...
But yes, I agree with those two suggestions, Genius Lynx has more than proven himself in that regard and I can't think of anyone better on the communication front than Mr. President himself.

[Madonna]

I definitely prefer something cheesy and Poké-themed for the motto, but I can agree the slogan is spot-on. Unfortunately, the brainstorm I held between this sentence and the former yielded no better suggestions. Whatever the choice, the goal is still the same: crush and capture all other parties!

My votes for the portfolios:
Minister for the Arts - qwertysaur
Minister of Communication - PsychoticWalrein
Minister for Foreign Affairs - Pokéface
Treasurer - Iceglow
Prime Minister - Pokékeeper
Deputy Prime Minister - Iceglow

[qwertysaur]

It's qwerty, not querty pokékeeper. :p

Also http://www.hakuanime.net/t/76f41943f5e97b9e8617c6bfe38e304c.png

Lynx is an Absol and Iceglow a Glaceon. because Absol are cool and Ice types fit Iceglow. :p

If you want a different pokémon feel free to let me know.

[Timekeeper]

Sorry about that, my brain did the switch unconsciously...

And nice! That looks really awesome.


As for a motto, how's this? It's team rocket, but they're very poetic :D
To protect the world from devastation!
To unite all peoples within our nation!

You're cutting yourself short there Lynx, you don't want any positions?
And as for Treasurer and Minister for Foreign Affairs, what will kind of tasks will they have to face?

[G13]

Oh look, Steve joined the party Paul did. :roll2

You guys are getting pretty popular.

[qwertysaur]

Why wouldn't we be popular. We get some amazing battle themes. :bigsmile:

YouTube - HG/SS - 320kb/s Red/Lance Battle Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNaahr-w2KQ&feature=related)

Edit: Also our portfolio positions need to be called the Elite Four.

[Madonna]

To protect the world from devastation!
To unite all peoples within our nation!It fits a motto to a T, so let it our motto be.


You're cutting yourself short there Lynx, you don't want any positions?
And as for Treasurer and Minister for Foreign Affairs, what will kind of tasks will they have to face?Who nominates themselves? Election Booth hints they will have tasks after the first two ministers, but for now they are awesome titles with no responsibility.


Oh look, Steve joined the party Paul did. :roll2

You guys are getting pretty popular.Did I just hear you say Steve is popular? You Fifty-squirts have strange notions.

[G13]

Oh God no! I mean the party is on it's way to success. Those two statements have nothing to do with each other.

[Iceglow]

Oh look, Steve joined the party Paul did. :roll2

You guys are getting pretty popular.

You're just upset I didn't join the 501st

Edit: when it comes to it Eric, theres a long, long history going back to BAOTW of me and Paul being in the same election party regardless of whether I'm joining it or founding it with him (I was in on the idea of both the party and the zombie party ahead of time)

Also for my fellow pokeparty members, Lynx uh thanks for nominating me twice lol I'd say you'd do better as vice presidential candidate than I do, but I'm happy to serve the pokeparty anyway you guys need.

[Psychotic]

Oh look, <s>Steve</s> Julian joined the party <s>Paul</s> Eric did. :roll2:shobon:

As Communication Fellow, I am working hard on my campaign... :radred:

[G13]

You're just upset I didn't join the 501st

I don't care one way or the other what party you join.

The history lesson was interesting and all but you should have just stuck to Paul's method. :monster:

[qwertysaur]

I agree with Iceglow. Lynx would make a fine vice president/prime minister deputy whatever it's called.

Also I have just been struck with inspiration for my piece as minister of the arts. It shall be marvelous. :kaoclove:

[rubah]

:kaocheer:

[qwertysaur]

Can it be Trainer rubah?

I am game for whatever job you guys think suits me.

[Skyblade]

I am totally at a loss about this whole political party thing. But I do like Pokemon, so I'll tag along.

And, yeah, Absol are awesome. Weak compared to the top tiers, sure, but oh so much fun with Super Luck + Sharp Claws + High Crit Moves. And they look sweet.

[qwertysaur]

I made trainer cards for everyone. If you want any changes just ask and I'll make the adjustments.

Iceglow is an Ice master.
http://www.hakuanime.net/t/74b9b263e45c287f217fb1b1005ec35f.png
PsychoticWalrein is a Water master. (I had to just use Psychotic or the name wouldn't fit)
http://www.hakuanime.net/t/239b3846ee456b1b8b2fabf90a651809.png
Pokéface is a Steel master who also has a pikachu because he can.
http://www.hakuanime.net/t/74a6f2776b72190581ed7b14b7ef02e9.png
I'm a Grass type master, with Gallade who can use leaf blade.
http://www.hakuanime.net/t/64a571bd10cc06a794045ae39a3b810c.png
Lynx is mostly Dark type, but he has one ghost.
http://www.hakuanime.net/t/1be87546fb8f5014a03c78557439bce9.png
Pokékeeper is mixed.
http://www.hakuanime.net/t/bf0d21b7d8c36caef0ee2761c1d9a5f3.png
Also welcome Skyblade, you are a Flying type master unless you want a different type. :p

[NorthernChaosGod]

As Communication Fellow, I am working hard on my campaign... :radred:

It was either that or TAP. Bite me, Paul.

[Timekeeper]

Alright, we're making good progress here guys. Good to have you with us Skyblade, your support will be invaluable.

Thems some sweet looking trainer cards there qwerty, great stuff.

[Christmas]

Haha, a pokemon party! I was wondering when it will appear! :bigsmile:

Good luck and go catch them all!!! :kaoclove:


http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfc399IO6H1qgvnkuo1_400.gif

PS: Do the members of the poke party go around poking holes? :bigsmile:

[qwertysaur]

It's risky poking too many holes because you might get an angry diglett or dugtrio chasing you. It does add to the excitement though :bigsmile:

Also Skyblade informed me that he is in fact a Psychic type master.
http://www.hakuanime.net/t/f4f67eb12f0f9343f4525feeb5aa3c30.png

[Timekeeper]

So we have the Ministers for Arts and Communication, next we need to sort out who is up for Treasurer and Foreign Minister. Lynx suggested Iceglow and Pokéface, for those two positions respectively, does anyone else have suggestions?

As for the rounds goals, I'm assuming you have your task well covered qwerty, and I've been seeing some good smears around.

Personally I think our best shot at a smear campaign is rather than telling the forum why the other parties aren't very effective, we should focus on the fact that the PokéParty is super effective! We can simply demonstrate all the great things that Pokémon can teach us, and why that makes the Poképarty the better party in these elections. Thoughts everyone?

[Psychotic]

I dunno, I think the whole definition of a smear campaign is to talk about other people: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smear_campaign

Besides, I may have kinda already outed BoB as a drug-using sexual deviant... :shobon:

[Skyblade]

As part of the Pokemon party, we understand and respect our own limitations, but realize that those limitations can be overcome by teamwork. By combining our strengths, we are versatile and powerful enough to meet any situation head on. We also represent growth and change, as we understand that no matter how high we may climb, there is always more to learn, always a new horizon.

[Madonna]

The best smear campaign? A simple observation that other parties will spread lies and deceit, and then not do the same.

[Jiro]

Besides, I may have kinda already outed BoB as a drug-using sexual deviant... :shobon:
This is news EoFF had to know. Who knows how many newbies he has led astray?

[Psychotic]

This song goes out you, BoB:

fun thing for this party, go to google translator, set it to german to ukranian
then type in 15 of those a's with the two dots on top of them.

[Christmas]

Hey everyone, I got a trainer card from qwertysaur! :bigsmile:


http://www.pokestadium.com/trainercard/trainercard2.php?b=Christmas&i=dpf26&a=park&c=225&d=389&e=136&f=242&g=134&h=338

Does that mean we are good friends now? :bigsmile:

[Remon]

*Wants one* :(

[Madonna]

Christmas, pray tell, with whom are you not a great friend?

I am torn. I was happy to see our thread pretty much skim under the radar, because it mean we had to do little. I am sad to know we also do not do much to further our non-agenda. Do I want to keep being lazy or be cooler than that? Oh, the options.

This particular thing (http://forums.eyesonff.com/members/10496.html) and this virus (http://forums.eyesonff.com/members/5602.html). Both hates me and I hates them. :(

Please remain lazy and take it easy. It will be doomsday for the rest of us if you decided to unleash your skillz in digital artz. :bigsmile:

[Madonna]

Who is in charge of what again? We have tasks for Foreign Affairs and Treasurer. I hope your pokémon are well-rested and ready for action, because we are going to be super effective.

Our competition has been drastically cut. Our remaining opponents are also strong: the JLI and Newbies are well-known parties with strong memberships. Election Booth reports we only beat out an equal number of votes tie by one. We can do it again; hell, we can do it better.

So this is a big cheer from me to our participating Ministers, and I will do my best to provide some support or whip out a surprise or two.

[Psychotic]

We've secured a medal! Bronze, of course, is not preferable. The main debate for us all is: Gold or Silver? Which is best?

I, for one, have always preferred Ho-Oh.

[qwertysaur]

*Wants one* :(
Because you were in the cactuar party :cactuar:

Also Crystal is better than both Gold and Silver. :p

[Timekeeper]

Now, I don't believe we actually settled on who our other ministers were to be, who's up for it?
I recall Iceglow and Pokéface being suggested, and I think these two should be given the opportunity to do the best that they can for the PokéParty, but if you two can't confirm if you can do the tasks, it would seem that Genius Lynx and I would have to cover these spots.

We've confirmed bronze, yes, but there is no Pokémon Bronze. It's only Silver or Gold for us!

OK let me know what one you're working on today Pokeface and I'll hit the other hard and freeze it solid My Sneasel should be quick enough for anything they throw at me.

Also loving how I break all deadlocks there is no second place for the Pokeparty! In it to win it :D

[Madonna]

You are dubbed Treasurer. Even if you are not (but you are), this gets some work done in one field. Pokéface, you better speak up if I am wrong (I am never wrong).

We really suck at confirming portfolios. Good work, team.

[Remon]

Conguraturations you gaiz! Keep it up. You have the cactuars' support :bigsmile: (at least mine :p)

[Timekeeper]

We really suck at confirming portfolios. Good work, team.

PokéParty conforms to it's own standards! Unlike the other parties it appears we don't need pushing by Election Booth to get our jobs done, we get them done our own way. Keep up the good stuff team!


Oh and while we're at it, why not take over Google? Not only will we dominate the internets, but it's a great get rich quick scheme!

Ah, yes, I did the minister for foreign affairs task! Done and submitted. I could've sworn "minister for foreign affairs" was next to my name in the first post at some point... :p

[Iceglow]

Treasurer hmm on it :D

[Iceglow]

And it's done :D

If I was allowed any bias, it would be towards the Poké Party for being on the fucking money 100% of the time.

When I get home, consider my views written and done. Keeper, I will Mognet you them and hopefully figure out the best answers we can give.

I am giving my support to this party, you may count me among your members. should I be cacnea or the thing it evolves into? what it evolves into definantly

Welcome to the <i>best</i> party, Kuroshima. :D

[Madonna]

Do you see this signature? All you awesome people are now in it. If you are not there, you should look into a method which will get you in it.

Those trainer cards are nifty, but remember to save them; they are only cached so long on the generator's server.

I am sleep-deprived and run ragged; Pokékeeper can no doubt vouch for how clinically insane I am based on the contents of the Mognet messages I sent to him. I thought time was up for our tasks? But Election Booth is nowhere to be seen? Am I a day early? I need to lie down.

[Election Booth]

Election Booth wishes Genius Lynx all the best and a speedy recovery. I would ask that you submit your proposal that, unfortunately, missed the deadline to me, so that it can be shared with the citizens of EoFF at an appropriate time. Because really, we all know it would have been fucking kickass.

[Madonna]

Communication is something the Prime Minister and I need to work out. My bad, guys; you can lynch me.

##VOTE: [M] Genius Lynx

[Kuroshima]

I made my own but thanks Qwertysaur! :D

What can I do to help fellow Trainers?!

[Remon]

Nooooo

##UNVOTE : [M] Genius Lynx

We know you're innocent :D

[Timekeeper]

Do not blame yourself Lynx, if there's anyone to blame, it's me, and timezones...
I should have been more clear with my instructions, my apologies. It won't happen again

[Madonna]

Eh, I was cut up yesterday. Today, I am thinking we can at least give an unofficial response to the topic we missed.


FRONT SITE

http://vignettegrimoire.com/_lynx/_fora/eoff-elections11-talking-points02a.jpg
The front site looks like this.

I will be very blunt. What the hell is up with the ten million* links on the left? Have you guys any sense of cleanliness? Why in the world would anyone care to have an entire map of the website right there? Jesus, the pertinent bold ones are enough, save "Forum Discussion". Screw that noise immediately; you can shove another hidden link in each of the previous item's drop-down menu so people can immediately see there is a discussion area for whichever Square-Enix game at which they are already looking.

I scroll down the list more and I cringe. Visitor Center? WOULD THAT NOT BE THE FIRST THING YOU WANT VISITORS TO SEE? PUT IT UP FRONT OR GET RID OF IT. Actually, looking at the page in question, seriously axe it. Ditch the Staff link; if you loved the Visitor Center, combine it with the Staff link and you now have an About page. Chat is good, Forums (FORA YOU DOGS) is good, Fanart i--DEAD LINK? And when was there an update on LJ? Remove those links immediately. I do not even use my LJ anymore, and I am old-fashioned and crotchety.

Wiki? One link. Wikis have their own directories; they do not need your additional one.

I know we all love Del Snizz, but are we seriously still highlighting EoFF Fiction on the front site?

Friends of EoFF needs to outright die. If you must, include a network ring, but update your friends. I think even Jiaoberry is done with Neskaya, God Hates Fraggles ended a while back, aaaaaaand you get the idea.

Yes, the front site could be improved by people caring about keeping the entire thing new and relevant. GOOD WORK WITH THE NEWS AND GAME INFORMATION. IT IS NOT THE CONTENT, BUT THE PRESENTATION.


http://vignettegrimoire.com/_lynx/_fora/eoff-elections11-talking-points02b.jpg
We could make it look like this.

*hyperbole

We should give some unofficial responses to the other parties' lines. I must get going, so I am leaving it to you guys for now.

[Psychotic]

I know we all love Del Snizz, but are we seriously still highlighting EoFF Fiction on the front site?

Friends of EoFF needs to outright die. If you must, include a network ring, but update your friends. I think even Jiaoberry is done with Neskaya, God Hates Fraggles ended a while back, aaaaaaand you get the idea.Very good points, sir!

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I feel horribly late to the party but properly dressed anyhow.

[Remon]

Welcome Cyndaquil :D

I'm very proud of you for you submissions :cry:
Let's vote now though. I'm pretty sure we're going to win :D.

[Hollycat]

would a staff member be willing to change me to the hypoallergenic cacnea?

[Remon]

And me to Remonraid :p, but since this is the final round I think it's pretty much worthless.
PS. Don't forget to voooote.

Milotic is nicknamed Leviathan. Magmortar is Ifrit. Froslass is Shiva. Salamence is Bahamut. Dodrio is Chocobo. :p

[Hollycat]

I propose that the cactuar taco party permenently join with teh poke party IF these changes are made:

we become either the Pokemon party-taco party or the poke-taco party.

under goals we add:
free tacos for everyone, and at least 2 pudding cups a day
eliminate the world of juiceboxes
free love (optional)

and the banner next year has a cactuar on it.

[Madonna]

Anyone and everyone is welcome to the Poké Party if you are up for a more fantastic forum experience. I do not think we are up for pigeon-holing ourselves into any goals more specific than that, Hypoallergenic Cactuar, but you are always encouraged to push your own agenda and improve EoFF.

Nice to see you on the team, The Summoner of Leviathan.

I am going out of town, so I am unsure of how much I will be online this weekend. Please vote and support the party which fits you (id est us), and I will see what I can do about swaying Shorty and Rantzien into contributing some firepower. This has been a tremendously fun run, and I think we have done (nearly) the very best we could. Thanks in advance, and let us catch the majority vote.

[Hollycat]

fine. Can we at least have the taco bit added next year?

[Skyblade]

Tacos are sort of a year-round thing.

I still have no clue what is going on, but it doesn't matter as long as it's fun.

[Timekeeper]

Fortunately Pokémon is a very flexible universe, and naturally, the Poké Party is too.
While drastic changes cannot be made to our wonderful world of Pokémon, we can work together to promote the best parts of Pokémon.

For instance, we will:

Fight to grant greater equality for all Cacnea, Cacturne and Maractus out there.
Push to make the Taco Stone (http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/026/3/f/Eevee_and_The_Taco_Stone_by_fablefire.jpg) a reality.
Promote better understanding and love between trainers, everyday people and Pokémon.
Only stock our vending machines with Freshwater, Sodapop, Lemonade and possibly Moomoo Milk.

[Remon]

I think it would lose the coolness factor if we added the cactuar thing to Poké Party. The cactuar poké party! WTH? :D
Don't worry HC. We'll conquer EoFF next year :bigsmile:

Also, a big thank you to the person who changed my screen name!

Ps. Voooote

[Hollycat]

hm.... fine then, while I will support the poke party for this year, I will be making the Zack Fair party next year, or perhaps the futurama party

[Timekeeper]

I understand completely. Thank you for your support HC!

[rubah]

pika?

[Timekeeper]

Now that I can, I thought I'd quickly say well done team!

Let's hope we live up to all those expectations put upon us.

Hear hear! Time to begin assimilating various international websites into EoFF.
