The President has been chosen. A new leader for the US.
But is it over? Of course not! Because we here at PMOG are still a dictatorship. The only person that rules here is me, And I wasn't voted in.
So in honor of the election I propose to stand down.
Stand down and offer up the Presidency of the PMOG Userbase to the public.

Here's the deal. Part one, we need candidates. There are to be three parties (Of course). Order, Chaos and Independent. If you wish to try for the presidency, Please announce your candidacy right here in this thread. Build up some followers. Promise some candy. Just let us know where you stand on the issues, and which party you plan on filing with.

We'll take it from there.

EDITED EDIT!
Results are in! Order first!

Finally! Chaos!

7 sylverling
6 drudge
1 nieman

CLOSE! But Sylverling takes it! Sorry guys! Also, Chaos? C'MON! lowest scores of all? So wrong.

-1,000,000,000 shyiskhar Of the doody-heads party... Where'd that one come from? Dangit Zous!

So that's it. Bunni3 is your order party head, Tyranical is running for Independents and Sylverling is for the Chaos!

Next round of voting starts soon, and then? We'll know who our new president is! Pick a team, Pick a leader and lets ROLL.

I nominate myself for independent. Sure, mines are awesome, but so are crates! Chaos and order must learn to find middle ground and share PMOG!

In the following days, I shall list out my platform, which shall be awesomely magnificent!

I am pleased to announce the king of Casinos, my trusted friend and close political ally, Stephen, as my VP. He shall endeavor to ensure that fun is always had by those playing the game, because that's the one reason we are all here for!

I am also taking applications for Cabinet members.

Chava/Stephen08: "Crossing Chaos and Order boundaries to talk about what's truely important: The Game!"

I vote for the chick!

The hot one?

I also nominate myself for independent.
The order and chaos people are shooting (mining?) themselves in the foot, everybody knows versatility is the key to survival.

To prove how I cover both sides, I'll be causing a ton of chaos in a very ordered way. Keep you're eyes peeled.

When I win, I'll rule with an iron fist, crushing all those who oppose me. You'll get peace and prosperity at the price of freedom and liberty. From what I hear you American think that's a good deal, I promise I'll do a better job of the "peace and prosperity" than your current incumbent.
Also, when I win, there won't be a vice president, I don't like sharing. There will however be a team of "enforcers" who will go around "solving" problematic players, but don't worry, if you do nothing wrong and have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear.
As part of the order side of my campaign, there will also be a good social security system, with free DP for those in need, and free tools for and worthy projects. This may require the instatement of taxation, however it'll be lower than what the opposition are planning, I have it on good authority from an anonymous source that "Chava/Stephen08" are planning a 50dp/level/day hike.

If anyone wants to donate to the cause and/or apply for office then please pmail me.

As I final point, rewards are on offer for anyone who provides some legit looking photos / evidence I can use to smear Chava or Stephen (or their campaign).

As a slightly more final point, Stephen hasn't even bothered posting here, do you really want to vote for someone who cares so little?

PS. For those who are worried about giving you freedom and liberty, at least I'm honest and offer something in return. The others are going to take it all anyway, just not as transparently and without giving anything in return, so by voting for me you're really voting *for* freedom and liberty. Insane I know, but its true...

Wont you join me in supporting a truely benevolent shoat to lead us?

In my time here I have seen many a shoat come and go. Unfortunately there have been times when there were more shoats leaving than joining. In these troubled days I believe that we must look for inspiration in our well-balanced fellow players. Through these players we can find an abundance of enjoyment, even through the "massages" of our creators. Does this mean everyone need be fully versed in Chaos and Order? Of course not. After all, the goal is the game. But would you have your President come into power just to place higher tariffs on your crates? Or your playful mines? I say no! As our creators have, so should we in this hour cast aside our factional differences, and let the true players shine though.

Our platform is simply this: Focus on the game. This includes expansion, communication, and fellowship. Through the addition of user-created content and focused communication we can take our PMOG to the next level. Let's get back to making those epic puzzle missions! Get involved with your fellow shoat in community events. These sort of things will help us grow, and I'm proud to be running with the player that I KNOW can make it happen!

SUPPORT CHAVA/STEPHEN '08!

Thanks to all who have messaged me with messages of support!
I'm confident that with all your support the forces of pure tyranny will win out over those who insult the democratic process by lying to everyone and pretending they aren't seeking office purely for personal gain like me.

Vote for me for an open and transparent government that doesn't waste your hard earned taxes on trying to hide its true nature.

Vote tyranny08 for a brighter and more honest future!

I'll nominate myself as a candidate for Chaos.

I love mines. And I love Nicks. And I love randomly switching things up so sometimes I give out hundreds of crates instead of hundreds of mines - what could be more truly Chaotic? To completely reject order is to reject an area of sowing complete CHAOS.

With me as your president, PMOG will delight in all of the things that make us truly great - such as the epic battles! where we can prove our mettle for once and for all. We will inaugurate every shoat into PMOG in the classic way - a mining, a nicking, and a crate of armor. To those who would reject my use of armor here, well, I don't want to run the shoats off. We need to initiate them carefully - they must see the beauty of chaos. A single crate - that is all.

Also, whining gets a mining. Always. I originated that statement and it holds as true today as it did during the Week of Chaos.

I have not yet decided upon a VP. That would be too orderly.

CHAOS - it works, bitches.

What's more chaotic than anarchy? I will not be nominating anyone, nor will I be voting, unless I am allowed to vote AGAINST every candidate.

*points out that "random giving" and "random ducks" are elements of chaos in that random=chaotic*

also the eradication of Chaos IS order.

I, however, as a candidate for Chaos, will point out that I will NOT eradicate Order, as you might think that Chaos should. The reason is this: without Order, our Chaos is less obvious; without Order, there is no one to help us prove our superiority. If you're the only, you can't be the best. There has to be someone for you to be better than. So we, as Chaos, deserve the opportunity to prove that we're better than Order.

Vote Chaos! Vote Sylverling!

I won't be voting for tyranny, I don't like his campaign tactics. Somebody make that puzzle crate on the forum page disappear!

Its a political campaign, you have to have annoying adverts, its the rules.
And big thanks Pixielo for the funds and awesome idea.

(You can just dismiss them, real crates there too!)

Also, ordered chaos was promised, what's better than causing chaos with crates? Don't think its chaotic enough?, just wait for the campaign to continue a bit :).

I will be voting once or twice for each candidate. I am located close enough to Chicago to justify this.

The problem with this election is that you can't organize a vote for chaos. That in itself is order, thus invalidating your vote.

I will probably campaign for order. But I will have to get a speech written first.

I'm not running, I can organize a vote. On top of which, Chaos isn't a lack of order. It's choosing which order we so desire whenever we so wish. There can always be order in chaos, but there is never chaos in order. Win for Chaos.

Vote for Voting this Christmas!

Silly candidates. Better to be a power behind the throne.

Who ME? No, I'm not saying I'm a power behind the throne. Not at all. La la la.

Alright. Sorry for my delay to this thread... I am sure we have all been waiting for me.

I, of course, nominate myself on the side of Order.
I currently have not discussed my running mate with anyone, as everyone is always asleep at this time. I would love to have one of the resident Benefactors at my side. You know who you are!
All members of the Order are encouraged to contact me if you wish to join along!

I can provide a place for all you destroyers to mine! A mine on my profile will never go overlooked and is always enjoyed. Having a welcomed place for the destroyers to mine, also allows the vigilantes to stay in business. There will never be a shortage of mines for them to find and foil!

I have always been more than willing to hand out armor to my fellow pmoggers to guard you from any mines coming your way.

I also promise to not spray puzzle crates all over that you can't get into, unlike some of my other fellow candidates.

I promise to never try to cut the supply to any tool being used. Even if I disagree with those pesky Chaos pmoggers, I will never try to stop them from being pesky.

I can promise help to the new pmoggers. As you can already see I have made 3 missions specifically to help new players get the hang of Pmog.

I really have no life and can dedicate much of my time to keeping you happy! :D

More to come after I talk and discuss my running mate!

Vote Bunni3 '08!
"There is a strange Chaos that lurks behind the character of Order - yet - deep inside of Chaos lurks and even stranger type of Order"

Upon getting a president, does she/he get to nominate supreme court justices? ;)

Surely, we should outline the tenants of presidency before election and include, certainly, a judicial branch to check their power.

mattod looted tyranicaloverlord's crate. 1 minute ago.

Hypocrite.

Lol

I like this tyranicaloverlord, he has my vote. And thanks to his crate stashing, I have his/her DP

As do I. :D

All's fair in love, war, and the Chaos that is PMOG! You see you cannot control it. That is Chaos for you.

i won president of pmog already

..... I Can Be Bought .......

Current total: tyranicaloverlord 100dp

As an adherent to Order, I strongly urge all PMOGeans to see this "Presidency" bid for what it really is: a transparent attempt by the forces of Chaos to further introduce anarchy by attempting to splinter our beloved community into three camps.

Think of what we have now: a carefully balanced system where Chaos is countered by Order, resulting in harmony. For every mine, a Nick; for every portal, a lightpost; for every <something>, a crate.

This lovingly crafted unity cannot be allowed to shatter under the arbitrary choice of some overlord (tyrannical or no.)

I hereby stand for the "We Don't Need No President" party. I offer nothing: no DPs, no mines, no crates. Nothing, but the satisfaction of knowing you are right and honest and true, and free to follow Order or Chaos as you please.

I stand for No Change. Now that's Change I can believe in.

Is that some kind of reverse physiology attempt to get power via the backdoor?

Well I for one wont fall for it.
