Rather the dark blue, then into the red flames of Avalanche.
'Tis naught but the fire of passion.
And possibly explosive devices. Don't worry, though. I'm a Fire Protection Engineer.
Either way, fire burns off the impurities, like finely made steel. Dark colors can do not much else but to absorb the sunlight, and let nothing get away.
Red is also the colour of blood, and it seems like you'd be willing to spill as much as it takes to get your hands on presidency.
Actually, blood is naturally clear. Hemoglobin is what makes stuff red.
Trying to change the conversation? For shame.
Just stating the truth of the matter. Blood isn't always red.
I too was banned, but it has only strengthened my motivation! My path lies clearer than ever. I shall bring Avalanche to victory! That is my cause.
Abuse of power? You willfully committed crimes and now cry abuse when faced with the punishment. Enforcing laws is not an abuse of power, it is justice and justice is the glue which holds society together. If that is what Avalanche wants then if Avalanche wins the elections EOFF will turn into a hopeless pit of dispair.Quote:
Tell that to TUH, the one who perpetuated this wrong in the first place. Just because he got butt-hurt by us doesn't mean that he has the right to abuse powers.
OOC:
Everybody banned is now unbanned, and the threads have been restored! No more dicking with other parties' things please, it stifles the event
(and I'm the one who has to deal with the complaints you bastards)
Hey may as well post it here too.
You're forbidden from posting in the other parties' thread. Don't bitch, it's not permanent and your hatred can resume at a later date. I just think we need a change in pace.
So turn your attentions inwards. Who will be the leader of your party? Who will you support? Oh my.
One thing I won't do, and no offense to him personally(because he's a great guy), but I won't support GoBo as president.
Nor would I Tavrobel, DD, Momiji or Laddy.
They are just stirring up trouble, fighting, calling each other names, and contradicting themselves and discrediting others right and left.
They make politics seem worse than in real life, and that says something.
Anyone(including them) who would have a real message would be lost in the spam. I'm sorry, but I do not approve.
As I said in the Avalanche thread. If you vote for them...
The cake is a lie.
Oh, and y'all better not bring the Avalanche vs Shinra thing into this thread either! (for the time being, just be chill!)
I'm a fighter and a scrapper, but not a trouble maker. When people give me trouble, I give trouble back.Quote:

This is going to be amazing. I can already feel it.
Marick D. Pauper here, you election news official!
This reporter, who has been missing for quite some time, has one thing to ask, "when did the multi-party system get switched to the two party system. What happened to baotw, or fat chocobo, or the pirate red mage party, etc. etc. etc." However, this reporter knows that times apparently have changed. While he'll always be a fat chocobist at heart (all because of one special yellow bird <3 BoB) he will be starting a new, undedicated article today and enforcing strict guidelines. He will be conducting interviews with candidates and setting the record straight in his No Spin Zone!
Marick D. Pauper will bring you the most valid news coverage of all EoFF.
I'm Marick D. Pauper. You stay classy Eyes on FF.
Marick. Life just got an upgrade.
How can someone who got banned help with such a cereal election?Quote:

I am here with Old Manus, who has a stark question to ask this reporter!
OM: I want to vote, when can I vote?
MDP: Primaries, as outlined in both party headquarters, will begin five days from the start of the elections, which began on the sixteenth of october, two thousand and eight.
This means, that I can only imagine that primaries will begin on the 21st, with debates and voting coming shortly after, however, I can't be certain as I haven't had a chance to speak with EB. When ever I call, officials say he is currently unavailable and ask if this is Cousin Eddie.Quote:

This might be one cereal election, but I promise to bring you full facts and opinions, without telling you which is which, in order to inform you, the voter!
This is a special, live update brought to you by me, Marick D. Pauper.
I'm Marick D. Pauper. You stay classy Eyes on FF.
I can't wait to hear his Piece on The Third Party.
I can't wait xD
I missed this catchphrase.Quote:
You stay classy Eyes on FF.
Also, some form of voting will begin tomorrow. Oh BOY.
i vote for legalized marijuana (jk)
If you wish to be a candidate, now is the time to apply!
Shinra have 7 at the moment, Avalanche have 10 (and they had 2 that dropped out) so perhaps Shinra need more to provide more competition?
Voting begins tomorrow with the revelation of the applications. :strut:
-P
Say Psy, will there be names with the applications or not?
Never really got clear to me.
No. The names will be separate.
7 to 8? Sounds even enough to me. Besides, quality over quantity. ;)Quote:

Marick D. Pauper is broadcasting live here at the election officials headquarters with a special report. At the beginning of the race, there were two parties, Avalanche and Shinra. Both stood at clear opposite ends of the spectrum, however, feeling that this system stood as a clear injustice to freedom, a one Neocracker took it upon himself to create a the unofficial official third party, which was later eliminated by election official chairman Election Booth for violating rules and sending bomb threats to the Office of Elections. However, this reporter risked his life to hunt down information on the Third Party as well as held a private interview with Neocracker. Here's the report:
The official Third Party had acknowledge that the war against God Hates Fraggles was becoming a nuisance, and in acknowledging that, proposed a radical new idea: deleting the entire community from existence and history, thus by exterminating the process. In my private interview, Neocracker added that even "speaking of GHF would be a bannable offense" and that under his administration, "watchdogs would patrol forums, user messages, and private messages scanning for any mention and banning members violently without warning." Let us also analyze that destroying the community would only strengthen Bleys' resolve, and it would prove no easy task with individuals like Unne and the accursed Raistlin helping him.
In addition to that banning power, Neocracker was opposed to powers of being able to view private information, and instead would give Cid's Knights a more broad power to be able to ban on suspicion alone. While some Cid's Knights might be very adept as determining who is and is not a threat, many will start to abuse this power and unless total submission was given by a user, they would be banned. I am confident that this is quite a troubling matter.
More puzzling is the fact that the Third Party wanted to remove all membership fees as well as advertisements, claiming they had their own means of revenues. When questioned further, Neocracker responded by saying he has "five drug rings ready to launch across the world to support EoFF, as well as many multiple accounts that the current administration has yet failed to pick up on" stating that he has a near limitless supply of cashflow. When pressed further if he would corrupt the users to drug use, his response indicated more totalitarian idealogies stronger than Shinra's in his belief that "drugs have the capability to control them [the masses] and anyone who gets out of line will be forced to become addicted." While I hope it wouldn't come to this, and if everyone was in line, with free communities and not taxation without misrepresentation, which is a huge plus, it is still a frightening dilemma we could have found ourselves in.
On his immigration status, he said that newbies should only be allowed to make stereotypical newbie threads, claiming "it will allow for a divide for the oldbie elite and the newbie failures who think they are big shots." And while limiting newbie posts to fifty characters might sound appealing, we still have some newbies who are just as valid as any oldbie, and oldbies just as full of fail as newbies. The biggest issue that would raise backlash would be the adoption of a clause stating that 2009 would be the cut point for newbies vs. oldbies. When questioned about the backlash to this, Neocracker stated that it was to be "expected. Not all policies are liked, they are meant to be decisive. It is my way, or the highway. You're with us or against us." yadda yadda.
Also, his position that only the president is important ultimately seems to lead us to a one-man rule dictatorship worse than the many-manned rule that Shinra or Avalanche suggest. AT least their MIGHT be bickering when they are deciding how to screw us over next.
But all these facts beg the question. Why did Neocracker create the Third Party, when he acknowledged that he "would be denied," but added he "managed to Shake up the election, as even EB himself said I may be allowed on the Ballot." Neocracker stated "This party was made to destroy the community and reestablish a more dominant rule." And while the Third Party seemed to be the most radical of all, we must also remember that it fought in the guise of justice and equality, stating that the political machine was what it meant to fight, and that election officials like Election Booth were part of a "corrupt and unjust" system.
I have yet to get hold of Election Booth for comment. The last statement I received from an election official said that they weren't interested in whatever I was selling and to stop calling.
There you have it, the facts straight from Marick D. Pauper, unedited, unfiltered, and just! Also, don't miss the recent articles about the Shinra and Avalanche parties.
I'm Marick D. Pauper. You stay classy Eyes on FF.
1) I would handle any CK abusing their power personaly.
2) I and not going to destroy the community, mearly its foundations so it can be rebuilt.
3) I not once claimed I fought for equality.
I have the transcripts and the waiver you signed that makes that story valid. Don't go spinning the fact in Marick D. Pauper's NO SPIN ZONE. Anyway, stay tuned for voting everyone! It promises to be quite an extraordinary primary season!
Ohoho! It seems the tables have turned on our young aspiring NeoCracker.
The tables have been against me from the Get Go.
Thats like saying the tables turned in the Civil War after Shermans March, which in all reality had nothing to do with the Souths defeat. :p
I was destined to lose because people dont' realize what is truly best for them like I do.
You are not Demon Dude, and Momiji is most certainly not I'm my own MILF.Quote:
