I fixed the link. Now here's another exciting forum, the General Final Fantasy forum. Everyone knows the greatest moments of this forum were the character tournaments. They also took a long time to organize, so let's pay tribute now:
Pure Strife (representing the BAotW party):Quote:
Who won the EoFF Character tournament? Who did the winner defeat in the championship? Who won the EoFF NPC character tournament? Who did the winner defeat in the championship?
1) Cloud Strife I believe, who fought off an army of small European midgets to claim the title.
2) This one went to Beatrix, who had to fend off a large armoured man who was following a young woman around and insisting she "return to his castle".
Ichimonji (representing the #eoff party):
Who won the EoFF Character tournament?
Cloud Strife took the prize with a whopping seventeen votes in the EoFF Character Tournament.
Who did the winner defeat in the championship?
Cloud Strife gracefully defeated Locke Cole who was close behind with thirteen votes.
Who won the EoFF NPC character tournament?
Beatrix from Final Fantasy IX narrowly won the EoFF NPC character tournament with twelve votes.
PearlRose (representing the Fluffy Pink party):
EoFF Character tournament:
In a battle of the blondes between back-to-back titles, the guy with the really big sword managed to pull the championship from his opponent, the greatest "treasure hunter" in all of two worlds!
[VI's Locke Cole vs. VII's Cloud Strife. Cloud won.]
EoFF NPC Character tournament:
The final matchup came down to a clash between the old and new, as the guy who healed your party each time you fought him battled the girl that likes to take your party down to 1 HP every time you fought her. The swordwoman's Save the Queen managed to pull one last victory from the guy that's able to pwn a prince with a single attack!
[IX's Beatrix vs. IV's Rubicant. Beatrix won.]
BlackCape (representing the Fabio party):
well, Yuna should have won, and Yang's Wife was way underseeded.
Other (representing the Elitist party):
The winner of the EoFF Character tournament would be Other! Other characters besides the common characters are far superior with their other powers and knowledge of other kinds of magic. Without these other characters, there would be none of the above. None of the above is the most evil character ever, and should never win any character tournaments.Quote:
Who won the EoFF Character tournament? Who did the winner
roffle. I have no idea what this miniscule part of the question is asking. :cool:Quote:
defeat in the championship? Who won the EoFF NPC
I'm not Other as far as I'm aware :pQuote:
character tournament? Who did the winner defeat in the championship?
Flamethrower (representing the Ace party):
The finals of the Final Fantasy Character showdown pitted FF7’s main character, Cloud Strife, against FF6’s treasure hunter, Locke Cole. The winner? Cloud. Let’s all take a moment to try to act surprised by that. Seriously though, no shocker there. Humongous sword + wacky hairdo + big-breasted girlfriend = all the ingredients to a fanboy’s wet dream.
In the finals of the NPC tournament, Beatrix, the lady general from FF9, narrowly beat out FF4’s Rubicant, the nicest villain you’ll ever meet. It just goes to show that swords and big breasts are an unstoppable combo.
XoXyunalescaXoX (representing the Anti-EoFF party):
http://error4o4.rakugaki.net/photoz/..._yunalesca.jpg
...Small European Midgets. Why do ALL of our answers refer to midgets? Rye had Midget Lust XXX Volume 3, Fuza had midget tux Vincent, and now Striff does this. Of course, there IS a reason for it. What is it? Ah, that would be telling. ;)
Yeah, damn FFVII fanboys, they can be pretty irritating. But what are even MORE irritating than them? FFVI fanboys. (Not implying that Flamethrower is one, I don't go to the FFVI forum anymore so I wouldn't know) I'm not saying FFVI is a bad game, it's not and I really enjoyed it, but it's just the attitudes of the die-hard fans by calling everyone who likes newer FF's fanboys. Ugh. :DQuote:

Though XoXyunalescaXoX's answer was made by EB, it's still better than all the others. :/
Just to clarify, I wasn't referring to just FFVII fanboys when I made that comment (in fact, FFVII is my favorite game in the series), but RPG fanboys in general. :p
Just wanted to say that everyone has had really good answers so far! Discounting the Ace Party due to personal bias, I'd have to say that the BAoTW party has had the best answers so far in general. Even if they are my party's rival, gotta give props when props are due. ;) Still, good effort by everybody.
Go Ace!
I have not received any submissions today at all. Except Yunalesca's of course.
Pure Strife didn't answer the second question which shows the lack of attention exhibited by BAotW. :p
Ichimonji did an excellent job. :D
I was so not rapping, meanie. I don't even like rap. My mic isn't that great, being six or so years old, so it didn't come out very well.:crying2:Quote:

Trumpet Thief (representing the BAotW party):Quote:
Prove that Rinoa = Ultimecia. Feel free to use mathematics or the I Ching, but you may not use the word "junction" in your response.
There are many reasons which prove that Rinoa is in fact Ultimecia. One of the things that stands out the most, and makes this theory more believable is the GF known as Griever. Squall shows it to Rinoa near the end of Disc 2, and whatever you name it, that is the name of the GF that Ultimecia has.
Another idea, that makes you believe that Rinoa is Ultimecia is the fact that sorceresses don't age. Because of that, maybe she will live to see Squall die, as well as her other friends, making her more of a twisted person, and eventually, go up to the point that she is the sorceress that is trying to control time.
This point might in fact be a coincidence, or something that proves that R = U. Ultimecia's castle is placed right on Edea's orphanage. The same orphanage where Squall promised Rinoa that: "I'll be here waiting for you, I promise." If he was truly waiting, then he would probably be right there.
Near the end of the game, when Squall is thinking of Rinoa before passing out, her faces eventually turns into Ultimecia's. This might have been something put in, just so that it could be "cool", or it could also be something, to link those two together. As well, it has been shown that Rinoa has white wings, and Ultimecia has black wings. That could mean that, through time, the colour of her wings changed, as her own self changed.
Other than those points, there is the most obvious thing. They both look alike.
"Reflect on your..."
"Childhood..."
"Your sensation..."
"Your words..."
"Your emotions..."
"Time..."
"It will not wait..."
"No matter..."
"...how hard you hold on"
"It escapes you..."
Those are quotes from the final battle with Ultimecia. Think about it.
Squally Leonharty (representing the #eoff party):
Err... That'd require me to look up a lot of things, which I seriously have no time for. Also, Rinoa is not Ultimecia and that has been proven several times, so I won't bother proving its counterpart. I'll give you two links with proper proof that Rinoa != Ultimecia and that should do it.

Sorry if I disappoint you, but I only joined this election thing because Daniel/BoB asked me to. I figured that'd nice for me as long as I don't have to spend a lot of time to this. Well, there ya go. :p
louby_4eva (representing the Fluffy Pink party):
OMG!! :eek: I knew this was going to be the question.
Okay, so Squall gave Rinoa a ring with griever on it, she never gave it back and then Ultimecia has a GF named griever.
Ultimecia's castle is next to the orphanage where Squall said he'd wait for Rinoa......coincidence, I think not.
Sorceresses don't age, Adel's from the past and she's still alive and Cid is loads older than Edea, it's possible that he was younger when they got together (makes no sense but I'm pretty sure thats one of the reasons).
Ultimecia wants to kill Squall because he got older and died, she didn't, she went a lil mad and tried to kill him.
That's all I can think of. Just for the record, I don't belive the R=U theory.
Yamaneko (representing the Unne Avatar party):
42.
└┤ ∵├〆 (representing the Elitist party):
Well, first you have to remember that Ultimecia is junctioned with...crap :p
Silmaril (representing the Ace party):
Rinoa ( Renova: to renew, restore, revive; Reno: to return, to swim back.)
Ultimecia (Ultimus: on the farther side, that is beyond, later, most distant, uttermost, extreme, the final.)
1. Appearance
Sorceresses do not age, why? Bcause it never in the whole game speaks of any sorceresses dying. I it is true sorceresses do not age, rinoa, being a sorceress could live on and become Ultimecia.
Ultimecia's final form in the last battle exhibits two sides. Also, if you remember in the ending battle, the face of Ultimecia is blanked out. During the ending FMV, Squall sees visions of Rinoa, but her face is also blanked out as well.
Then, you have what may be the most eerie piece of evidence. In the ending FMV, images of Rinoa's face are quickly interlaced with Ultimecia's.
2.Griever
Now this is a big indication that its true: Rinoa 'borrows' Squall's griever ring, yes she does get Zell to make a copy, but she never gives squall his back, this is proven at the field when rinoa says "I have this dream, I get all dressed up and put on your ring... etc...".
Just before you enter Galbadia garden, you get to name the ring, (the default is griever). Ultimecia has a GF called Griever, (or whatever you name the ring). If you remember, you get doomtrain out of solomons ring. its possible Griever is gained from Squall's ring, which Ultimecia would have if she is Rinoa.
3. Angel Wings
Ultimecia has black wings, (The black wings symbolize hatred, desire to suppress and oppress etc.). Rinoa has white wings (The white angel wings symbolize purity, friendship, inncocence but above all goodness). there is a lot of emphasis placed on rinoa's wings (on her costume, and limit). black = evil, white = good. it would be a natural progression. that is backed up by these shots taken from the ending. It appears Rinoa's wings are changing from white to black. The opposite colored wings were to represent that Rinoa stood for light and love, while Ultimecia was the antithesis of all that: darkness and nothingness, as Ultimecia intended to erase all of time, and rewrite it in her own image. The concept of good versus evil was represented in these two Sorceresses.
4. Location, location, location.
Rinoa and Squall promise to meet at a "certain place", the place where Ultimecia's castle tends to be.
On disc 3, Squall says to Rinoa at the field next to the orphanage "I'll be here waiting for you i promise ... etc..." and suddenly the whole intro makes sense. Now is it just a coincidence that Ultimecia's castle is placed exactly next to this? Why would Ultimecia park her castle there when she has anywhere in the whole world to put it? She is waiting for Squall at the field.
5. Motive
a. Absence of Sorcerer’s Knight:
No Squall, no knight. Her powers made her immortal, or at least with an obscenely long life. When she simply outlived Squall, her broken heart and loss of knight was probably too much for her, her memories slowly faded and she went mad. Her broken heart fueled her eventual hatred and all she could vaguely remember was "SeeD". Perhaps her time compression was not to destroy the world but to reconnect with Squall, but the evil in the power of the sorceress itself consumed her.
Edea: Ultimecia is a very fearful sorceress. Her heart is filled
with anger and hate.
Conversation with Squall:
--------
Esthar Airstation: Rinoa? The sorceress!? She's on the ship!?
Squall: (So... It's true? Rinoa is a sorceress?)
Rinoa: I've... become a sorceress. I can't stay with you anymore, Squall.
Esthar Airstation: Respond, Ragnarok!
Rinoa: I don't want the future. I want the present to stand still. I just want
to stay here with you...
Squall: (Rinoa...)
Esthar Airstation: Respond, Ragnarok!
Rinoa: Nobody would want to be around me anymore...
Esthar Airstation: The sorceress will be seized upon arrival. Be sure to follow
the crews instructions.
Rinoa: I'm... scared.
Esthar Airstation: Squall, do you copy? Is the sorceress listening, too?
Squall breaks off contact with the Esthar Airstation.
Rinoa: I'm scared, Squall.
Squall goes to Rinoa.
Rinoa: I don't wanna go back.
--------
Look at that line: "I don't want the future. I want the present to stand
still". If that doesn't sound like a reason for Time Compression I don't know
what does!
Later on Squall vows to be her knight, even if she fears she may turn bad. He
will not destroy her even if she does, he will stand by her. So it is easy to
imagine them becoming corrupted in the future. Her love for him provides
motivation to compress time in both scenarios, either lost in limbo or safely
back.
b. Loss of Squall:
See point a. Rinoa lost the love of her life because of her powers.
Thus,
Rinoa = Ultimecia
L.H.S = R.H.S
└┤ ∵├〆 wins.
*claps* well played played folks. I'm a bit sad people missed one major point though. In the opening FMV, when Rinoa is running to Squall, both white AND BLACK feathers are flying about from her.... *eery music*
....
r=u. hahaha.

I thought Youkai did a great job, especially since the song was in another language. KB was good...for a white boy :p
as long as I am running the elections there will be singing involved in some way. I am very pleased that a couple members took me up on the request.
I think the last forum was great, so I'd rather wait a while to post the next, but I want to get these forums posted before I die, so here's another one of the big favorites, World Events. Three candidates for this forum didn't bother to answer (although at least one has a good excuse), but that's what they pay me the big bucks to do! Here goes:
DMKA (representing the BAotW party):Quote:
What one person or event had the greatest impact on the world during 2004? Was the impact positive or negative? Explain.
What had the biggest impact on our world in 2004 had to be, hands down, the tsunami disaster in Asia. While it didn't affect the western world directly, it affected the planet as a whole. So many lives were lost and establishments distroyed that it affected global economics, geography, and sociology. The aide of nations around the world came into play for the directly affected nations, thus affecting the other nations fniancially. It will also continue to affect us for a great deal of time to come, and the disaster has hardly ended for the countries in need. With all the potential diseases that may arise and spread rapidly due to so much scattered death, along with so much homelessness and torn economics, it will take years to re-establish a place of stability. Not only was the tsunami a huge effect to the world in 2004, but will be a huge dragging effect in 2005 and on.
Chickencha (representing the #eoff party):
What one person or event had the greatest impact on the world during 2004?
I could say it was the American presidential election, but that really had no impact. Nothing changed.
I could say it was the signing of the Magna Carta, but that happened 800 years ago.
I could say it was Michael Jackson, but then I'd have to shoot myself. And I'd rather not do that.
There are many things I could say. But I wouldn't be much of a politician if I made a clear choice and answered the question, now would I? In this upside-down age of cyborgs and space travel that we live in, there are no blacks and whites. Only shades of gray and sometimes brown where some idiot spilled coffee. Sometimes you just have to drop everything, step back, and say "What is this garbage? I thought I ordered clam chowder! Send this back to the kitchen!"
Kalen (representing the Fluffy Pink party):
October 18th, which happens to be the day I morphed into a giant moth and destroyed the entire city of Prague. Buildings taste like burning, people! Robert Smith of the Cure came to stop me but my sheer beauty (even as a giant moth) swayed him to my side.
Meow (representing the Fabio party):
When i think America, when someone asks me to describe it, i try to avoid the abstract. Because how are we as a people tolerant, or self-motivated, or even lazy? Statements like that are horoscope predictions. America isn't having a good relationship week because Mars is in retrograde. We don't define ourselves by the vague everyman cutouts from American Dream construction paper. America is something else entirely. It's cell phones and car radios and forty-hour work weeks. It's Super-Size fries and sport utility vehicles. It's football and movies, hybrid cars and giant airplanes. Americans are electronic junkies and strict Amish traditionalists, Southern Baptists and secular humanists. We've got quantum mechanics and Rush Limbaugh, Jim Rome and cable television. We love our AC and i smile that my own home still doesn't have it installed. We borrowed Beatles mania from across the Atlantic and still can't agree who stole punk from whom. America is staying up late to type out journal assignments, going off to college and never e-mailing your parents, pondering graduate school and eventually becoming an English major because you can't keep your pen off the paper. And simultaneously, it's becoming a chemistry major and working for Johnson and Johnson, and eventually retiring to substitute teach high school chemistry every so often and tell crazy yet unfathomably intriguing stories while the students are trying to take that test. America is manifest destiny, embarrassing history, patriotic pride and civil disobedience. America is the WTO riots. America is Starbucks coffee. America is a jumbled ball of yarn.
George W Bush (representing the Elitist party):
The most influential person of 2004 would have to be Jesus Christ. He's been the most influential person for the last 2000 years and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Positive or negative? Of course his impact is positive! I mean, is the Pope Catholic? Does a bear...well I know you do, Angelo.
SocietyzAntidote (representing the Ace party):
with absolutely NO thought whatsoever, lets go ahead and say George Bush. Lets face it, absolutely no one can manage to polarize the population off the world into two individual seething piles of Bias like and extreme atheist liberal or an extreme christian conservative. Thanks to George Walker Bush, we have something to whine and whine and whine about from whichever view point we decide to support to an incredibly irrational extent, until something happens in this world that we can all bitch about together again! So yeah, Bush had the most impct, but in the worst possible way, by making people whine consistently for extended periods of time.
nik0tine (representing the Anti-EoFF party):
Educators in a small Sutter County school district gathered electronic tracking devices from hundreds of elementary and junior high school children Wednesday morning, ending the controversial pilot program that raised concerns over Big Brother-type privacy violations.
At a special meeting the night before, officials from locally based InCom Corp. announced that they were pulling out of an agreement with the Brittan School District near Yuba City that allowed them to test the devices on the students.
The company markets the badges, which have a radio-frequency antenna that is scanned when students pass through specially outfitted doorways, as a tool for taking attendance and monitoring students' locations.
Actually, I did not write that answer.Quote:

EB you crack me up. To bad you'll probably lose your forum.
yes, that one worked out quite well. nik0tine's answer was randomly lifted from a news site I was looking at. Meow's is actually written by him. I lifted it from his livejournal from last August.
we're down to the final four. Takara is supposedly frantically at work at an answer for the Chrono forum, so I'm holding that one a bit. A&W is the same thing, basically, except with Spaceman Spiff. Calliope is also supposed to do a A&W response but I think she won't get it done.

Spaceman Spiff of all people should have no problem with the A&W task. *whipcrack* Hurry it up!

ok, time for one of the Big Daddies of the eoff elections, General Chat forum. This is a tough forum to assign a task for since it really doesn't have a topic. However, those who make Gen Chat interesting are ones who make good threads. Therefore:
Haha, in a week. Well, it's been about 12 days now. Please click on the links and read the threads. Hoepfully you will be entertained. Here they are:Quote:

This is my party's entry. Huey Hamsters see life imaginatively, Gooey Kablooey's do not. Here we see imaginative Calvin with his best friend Hobbes retelling the story he heard last night. As he's retelling it he's going into character hence the hamster suit look. As Susie approaches him he explains to Calvin cooly that he sees things more creatively like Huey Hamster rather than the plain ol' Gooey Kablooey's in the world like Susie. :)
http://carmiechan.homestead.com/files/huhagoka.jpg
I decided to depict Calvin and Hobbes because they represented two imaginatively depicted characters who love to explore the world through the process of their own mind. Also, since the origin is from C&H I decided to creative a message from it, as the author advised to do so if we wished. Light colors were used to show subtlely, which natural representing the lightness of the creative youthful mind.

Kane clearly wins this one.
My link was terminated. I lose. :cry:
Edit- Awesome.
no, I fixed it.
I did click the wrong one. That one was much better. :) He would have gotten my vote anyway since he comes up quality threads on a consistent basis, no offense to my dawg.Quote:

Awesome. Good work Kane.
so who's ready for some FEEDBACK?!?!?!?!
not me
anyone else?
Come on, let's do Feedback now! =D
Is that the last one?
one more person has to post asking for it.

Why oh why did you save feedback for last? I can't live up to this pressure.
Oooh, main event time.
Raistlin counts as seven members. You forgot that.
Yeah, it's going to be hard to top 'Crono on a Unicycle'.
Oh man, I just realized redxiiii was the Ace candidate for Feedback and he hasn't got anything in. Shame on him ;_; Oh well.
so here we come to the last of the last, the best of the best, the whiniest of the whiniest, the Raistlinest of the RSLs, the Feedback forum. We might actually get to start voting and stuff this weekend after I post this one. I hope you enjoyed the tour of 30 forums. For the record, I received 132 submissions. That's a lot and surely a participation record for the elections. Anyway...
Denmark (representing the BAotW party):Quote:
Choose one:
a) Discuss the use of acoustic feedback in various forms of rock music. Give examples of bands that use it to varying effect.
b) Write an example of a question you will be made fun of for asking. Be creative.
c) Give Election Booth feedback on the structure and quality of the 2005 elections.
b) Write an example of a question you will be made fun of for asking. Be creative.
Okay, so when I first received the Private Message from the ever intriguing Election Booth, I was...not so much intrigued, more disappointed. But let's not think about that. The reason I'm here is to ask a question I will be made fun of for asking, right? Well, at first I was going to ask one of the old standards, namely "how do you revive Aeris?" But then I thought, Hey, I can do better than that. I wanted to come up with a question so unique, so utterly stupid, that I would be remembered forever at EoFF as "the guy who came up with that really stupid question in that election thing". But then again, how hard is it to say something at EoFF that you could get made fun of for asking? I mean, with disgruntled old men like Bleys and Raistlin around, it's almost impossible to not be made fun of. But little me, I had big dreams. I wanted to be made fun of by some stupid newbie. Lofty expectations, right?
Rydia's Secret Lover (representing the #eoff party):
C.
The 2005 election is quite possibly the most involved and complex election yet. I can't say this with 100% certainty as this is only the second election that I have ever paid attention to, but I'm pretty sure I'm right on this one.
There are only a few things I would have changed. First, the time period between announcing the rules and closing party registration was pretty long. I don't know exactly how long, but it seemed like a long time. While this gave people the chance to throw parties together at the last minute (like the anti-eoff party), it has also made me lose a little interest in the whole thing. But this is minor.
Another thing is the "no staff can lead a party" rule that was sort of thrown out the window anyway. The reason for this is that everyone knows that the staff are clearly the only ones capable of running a party. They are also the only people capable of programming a VCR, running a marathon, and batting .400 for an entire season of baseball.
The last thing is even more minor. 30 forums seems like a lot. It might have been easier on everyone (especially Election Booth) to have combined a few of the forums. But I can also see the positives in this. It gave more people a chance to join in on the fun. However, only a few parties were capable of getting 30+ members, giving them an advantage. Or is it an advantage? Only time will tell.
The organization of the elections this year is top notch. You can tell that Election Booth put a lot of time into this. It just feels a lot more official than in the past. Having certain requirements for each party was great. I like how this resulted in a fair amount of parties, but also a managable amount. Having each party pick an official slogan, mascot, and banner was nice as well.
In conclusion, you really should vote for me because Raistlin sucks.
Raistlin (representing thecrotchety old geezerUnne Avatar party):
b) Write an example of a question you will be made fun of for asking. Be creative.
Hey, all, I just have one question - Can you make a Newbie Forum to get enough members to make a Food forum to create the interest for a Birthday forum to make people happy enough for a Leaving/Returning forum to get enough geeks to make a Computer/Web Design/Technical Forum for which we'll then need a Spam forum to then get enough cool people for a Flaming/Battle forum to get enough of Bleys to make a Swearing forum in order to get me for a Oldbie Forum(R.I.P Eeyore's) in order to get even more of Bleys for an Anime Forum for which we'll then need a Music forum and then when I leave make an ORPG forum and then to release all this competitiveness we'll need an Event/Competitions Forum, and then we'll need forums combining all of the above forums, so then we'll need a Forums Suggestion Forums for suggesting forums like Xenogears(<3), and for all these newbies we'll need bigger avatars and since this question is so cool you'll need to archive this thread, and since we'll have all these cool people can you bring back post counts and then immediately make me a Cid's Knight and/or administrator?
Thanks for any and all answers.
Del Murder (representing the Elitist Party):
Sure I could choose option b and say something like 'Is Raistlin annoying/Does RSL crap in the woods?' or come up with some sort of question involving a crotch or ShlupQuack's buttocks, but instead I decided to be serious for a moment and talk about my good personal friend, Election Booth.
Election Booth was born the lovechild of an elevator and a pencil sharpener. His father was an alcoholic and his mother used to turn tricks down on old JFK Drive, a block past Maple. At 16 he had enough and left home, and that was when he started to get into politics. He was a gopher for Gore 2000 but the controversial Florida vote caused him to begin to lose his faith in democracy. That was when he discovered Eyes on Final Fantasy. He joined the forum in 01 to take over as the leader of the forums elections, and what an elections they were. The next year he (or she, rather) returned for another campaign, but the interest was not as great as before. In the 03-04 season the format got a massive overhaul, resulting in a return to the popularity it once had, and saw it achieve new heights. Now, in the 05 campaign, EB has outdone himself again, and we have the most popular elections to date. Here are testimonials from some of his closest friends:
Award Guy: EB and I dated for a while in late 02. It was the same old story. Trophy meets recycle bin. Trophy and recycle bin fall in love. Recycle bin catches trophy with his sister. Other than that, our professional relationship has been quite strong, and I respect what he does.
Raistlin: I've been a member of this board for 18 or 19 years now, and I must say that our current election format is the best ever. Well, not as good as it was back in the EZboard days, but we can't expect that from someone with a member id over one thousand.
EoFF Sniper: [not available for comment]
Del Murder: The elections have always had a special placce in my heart. In 01 it was the thing that kept me going to this website, and if not for them I likely wouldn't have came back and a lot of things wouldn't have happened. Nait did a good enough job, but let's face it, I don't even think he knew how his voting system worked, so it wasn't the mechanics that made that event so special. The next time it was taken over by DC, aka Sakura Yume, and while her system at least made sense, it was too straightforward. It's not that she did a bad job, it was just that her job wasn't very memorable. I can remember some of the parties but not much from the event itself. eest changed all that when he took over. Last year I didn't like the grouping of the forums, but once I found out what he had in mind it made sense. Coming up with specific tasks for the candidtates was brilliant, and likely time consuming. The elections stopped being about making a couple original and a couple unoriginal parties and spamming up the joint; there was an actual event and structure to it. He even came to me for the idea of a secret party and I thought that was really fun. This year he took it a step further. Each freaking forum has it's own question, and they range from the simple to the detailed. I like how some of the questions are completely straightforward, forcing the candidtates to use their own creativity in answering them, but on the other hand some of the answers can be boring when that happens. The best part about this method is that now we can vote for who came up with the best answer, rather than just voting for our party resulting in the party with the most members always winning. Quality over quantity! The tasks along with the official FF mascot put some much needed FF back into this FF board. And who knows, maybe he has something else in store for us. It's the little things, too, like random 'no staff leaders' rules, or 'you can start your thread in whatever forum you like' comments, and of course the Ultros theme. In the future I'd like to see more wacky and subtle rules and maybe a couple really bizarre questions, like 'what did you think of General Leo's hair style' or 'dress up as your favorite ffx character and take a picture of it'. Then again maybe those are there, I haven't seen all of the questions. I can imagine how much work it would take to make up an original task for 30 forums and then keep track of it all, so I'm not sure if he can continue that output on his own without dying, but if he can, great. Otherwise he knows where he can get help. In conclusion, eest saved the elecions much like Josh Smith saved the Dunk Contest.
repo man: *throws wrenches*
And for the hell of it, here are some more 'make fun of' feedback questions:
Can we have a repo man forum?
Why can't Linus make threads but Joel can?
Can we have a Monty Mole avatar?
The staff made a slight mixup and rather than politely and civilly point it out I'm going to make some kind of sarcastic and boastful post and expect to be taken seriously and at the same time bask in my 'wit'.
Can we have a Rad Racer forum?
redxiii (representing the Ace party):
http://www.yolatengo.com/sellout/beanbath310.jpg vs http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/tootlben/banda01.jpg
Wow, these bands have been around a long time, which makes them perfect for feedback because everyone knows only partially rotten corpses hang out in the feedback forum.
Anyway, both Yo La Tengo and Sonic Youth rock out to some serious acoustic feedback. You should check out the SYR series of self released album from Sonic Youth which are the feedbackiest. They pretty much have to win over Yo La Tengo just because like, no reason man except feedback is all about arbitrary decisions and I just made one.
There are plenty of other bands that throw around the crazy noise but these are crappy poseur death metal bands and crap. I mean, if you are really into death, why don't you just kill yourself and save me the trouble of doing it? There's some feedback for you, you sorry no-skillz-having losers.
Also, Kim Gordon is hot. Now excuse me while i go stare at my shoes...
I lose again.
RSL wins because of his avatar. (which I came up with, btw)
Raistlins was confusing. :(
I don't know what Kirobaito is talking about.
I actually like redxiii's answer the best. :D
Good answers all.
now that i've finished the monumental task of posting responses I can relax by...beginning the monumental task of the actual voting. Look for that sometime tomorrow.
Wow, look at all those responses.
But Del's was funny ;) And Wezly does suck. *punches* Did I mention Denny sucks, too? And RSL sucks but only at nighttime. I dunno red so I guess he doesn't suck ;)
YAY it's over! *spreads love*
Jojo you amaze me.
I am all of a flutter.Quote:

Goodnight!
I thought your answer was very good, RSL. Besides, you are guaranteed more than a few votes on name alone.
I liked Rizzle's answer second best. His feedback was very insightful.
but what about red? he chose my favorite option.
whooooo
*dances*
i'm so exited!
go us!
i LOVED all the answers by the bestest party in the WORLD!!
Go Fluffy pinkers! :love:
What she said. ;) *hugs all the FPPers*Quote:

Write a poem describing your hopes for FF12. Minimum 20 lines.
Making a dig because of a open ended question is pointless.
Go BAoTW!!! :love:
The feds can kiss my ass, This is the Real Elections!
EB, thank you for all of the work that you've put into these elections. Considering that it's not your day job and you get $0.00 to do it, you have done an exceptional job and it is much appreciated. :)
OOC: $0.00 American = $8.34 Canadian = 1800 rubles = 17,000,000 yen = 9123047898 Turkish Lira
I definitely don't expect to win Feedback, but I had fun.
and >:O @ Jojo
Well done everyone, especially #eoff. Hopefully the voting frenzy will begin soon! :D

Denny, she coulda been talking about Canadian dollars, and then that would be like negative 8.34 american dollars!
*waits for voting thread* ^__^
I was talking Canadian dollars. :)
I wrote that about 5 minutes before I left to go on vacation, and didn't think I'd even be here for the elections, nontheless be able to write something when I got back.
If I'd have had time to think about it, I would've asked, "Does BUO really look like a fat version of Fred Savage?" or "Can we have a Bleys's Crotch forum?"
It's over, no more BAoTW propoganda signature!
Okay, I'll be over at 9.Quote:

He did it on purpose. They're also discussing deleting all the spam posts in it, which would cut its amount by 1000+ posts.
Edit: Did I say 1000? I meant 1900.
Good luck to them if they want to waste their time doing that.Quote:

The party threads aren't really needed anymore as everything is all set and ready to go for final voting. To keep things less spread out, all election discussion can take place here! (I have a feeling there wasn't a lot of election discussion going on in some of those threads anyway, making them spammy and worthy of a close.) It's a shame you didn't get to hit 2000 posts though.*
*Not really
To add to RSL's post...non-spam election discussion can take place here.
Election discussion? OK, I predict the Elitist Party will win every single forum, even the ones they aren't standing for. No, really, I think there's a plot of some sort brewing. And as I've said previously, I think the smaller parties: Unne, Fabio, A-EoFF and to a lesser extent, Pink, will all do well by picking up the secondary votes of the big parties, Ace, BAoTW and #eoff, who probably won't vote for each other.
OOC: Haha, ooc tags nyah. On a random note, my highest Snake II (on my mobile) score was 1999 for the longest time, but today I broke it with 2098. I did it once, I'll do it again. ;)
Soooo, when is the final voting?
I hope people vote based on who had the best answers and not vote based on who is the lesser "threat" to their party.
I hope people vote on which values they like most, such as -- pinkness, love, hugs, and drugs! Erm. Okay, so we don't endorse drugs. Not officially, anyway. ^_^;;
Anyway we were having a good discussion in the pink party :p
Depends on what the individual thinks if it's right to vote for the answers, then they'll do it. If it's just for competition then again, they'll go for it.Quote:

Vote Elitist.
please move your discussion to this thread and close up this one. But leave it up for reference if you want. Or something.
