    Yes, it's an annual event. You don't have to join a party if you don't want to, but if you do you'll find each Party's manifesto in their thread.

    Oh, the election doesn't really grant the winner any power, it's just for the sake of having a good time. Of course, that won't stop the winners gloating about it for months on end. :rolleyes2

    You can find live help in the <a href="http://www.eyesonff.com/chat/">chatroom</a>.

    But yes, these are for the EoFF Elections. Start with Election Booth's stickied thread and then carefully read the different threads to find out which one suits you the best.

    Well, the parties are kinda just for fun. I don't think the winners actually do anything, but it's real fun and the parties all represent something different.

    Welcome to EoFF.

    There's a stickied thread at the top of General Chat. Read that first. If you have any questions just go to the chat room or PM certain people.

    Ta everyone, I've just read the stickied thread, I'm quite liking the ace party or the BAoTW.
    And I cant seem to get into the live chat room, I've tried but it says couldnt connect: null or something and I have no idea how/where to upgrade my java,theres so many different links whenever I look. This comps almost brand new I didnt think I needed new java or Mirc or whatever but it still wont let me in. Ah well

    I'd have thought that a big event like this would scare off newbies, but it looks as if it's actually attracting them instead.

    Do you have a firewall in place?

    If you really want to get in and don't want to bother with the java stuff, you can always download mIRC and, in a few simple steps, we can set you up.

    If you want to keep trying with java, you should go to http://www.java.com and click on the yellow button-link on the top right. This will lead you to a list of the latest java releases, and hopefully that will put you back on track. If that doesn't, do you know if you have some kind of firewall in place?
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    You should join the Ace Party. BAoTW is far too complicated, and the thread is getting posts left and right. Your post will likely get ignored if you post. Not saying that's true, but choose whichever party. I recommend the Ace Party.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.
