Woah, hold up. Isn't this a sham election? People, open your eyes. No matter who we vote for, power will always remain with the mods and admins. This corrupt system won't change by voting, we need a revolution, we need to sweep away the moderator class and run this site by ourselves. We need to get rid of abgemacht, Thucy, Geofram and all the other corrupt, authoritarian rulers of this website.

Webdippers, unite!
Barn3tt (41969 D)

Ava, former mod and current spokesperson for Barn3ttman Czechs, will look into this, largeham. Power to the people!
ava2790 (232 D(S))
20 Mar 12 UTC
As chief spokesperson for Barn3ttman Czechs I would like to denounce the statements made by largeham. The free market principles upon which the firm Barn3ttman Czechs was founded are meritorious and reward the most competent individuals in a free system where any individual may make it to the top. The mods are an integral part of the system, for unless the state can ensure property rights etc. an economy cannot function strongly. We have for years been lobbying to abolish the dreadful PPSC legislation which we feel only serves to corrupt the system through bribes and favors.

But individuals like largeham try to put forth MadMarxist ideologies of revolution and such, which is quite unwarranted. We need look no further than the dreadful execution of communism in Soviet Russia by the Bolshoiviks for proof that their system is even worse than ours is.

As our founder, M. Barn3ttman has stated, we fully support the Eden-Sargmacher campaign on the grounds that they are the only politicians who will be able to reverse the downgrade of America's ghost rating.

No other firm has brought as many glorious contributions to webdip. Abgemacht International Group (AIG), Bearnsteirns and Lando Brothers all failed during the great financial crisis when the server crashed and all points were reset to 100 D. A reckless individual called Bernard Mapleleaf tricked everyone with a ponzi scheme (sophisticated points stealing without using multis) and looted billions of d. To hellalt with all of them.

+1000 to ava for that write-up. I'm officially endorsing this campaign as the best to lead WebDip into the future. They have my vote and my confidence.
largeham (149 D)
20 Mar 12 UTC
This polemic by ava, chief hack of Barn3ttman Czechs, just shows how deep the corruption runs in this system.
While we revolutionaries agree with the movement to abolish PPSC, a corrupt and disgusting legislation that encourages corruption and multi-ism, such a change will not change the basic power structures of Webdiplomacy. The mods hold all power, while hiding behind such people as the King of Diplomacy and using Barn3tt to try and fob off public inquiry with useless words. We, the people of Webdip, shall be sheeple no more! We want an end to the discriminatory practises that allow mods to hide behind the screen of 'impartiality', we want an end to the practises of PPSC that encourage multi-ism and cronyism. We want nothing more than our fair share of points, a land of milk and GR.

My vote president goes to TC, the only man that can lead us to freedom!
Ah, dearest America, we meet again. Come, sit, make yourselves comfortable by the fire with your radios and a warm cup of hot chocolate on this cold and desolate night. I'd like to have a chat.

Let me take you back to a simpler time. A time when mankind was judged not on his ability to spin flowery tales of deceit, but on his mental prowess on the field of battle. A time when he had to work - do REAL work - instead of watching wealthy elites lie their way into his income, his private life, even his own body, contorting the justice of the law into a tyrannical abomination of control. A time when, though the work was hard, the rewards were reaped by him, not someone else.

Take a look around, America.

What do you see? Do you see prosperity? Do you see comfort? Do you see paradise? Or do you see a decaying system rotting due to the fancy wordplay of a few powerhungry elites, your hard work on the battleground slipping to nothing, your work worth less and less each day as your happiness falls into the pit of oblivion?

You need not worry, America, for I have a dream. I have a dream of an America where my children will be judged not on the color of their press but on the content of their tactics, a dream that little live gamer boys and live gamer girls will be able to join hands with little 48-hour gamer boys and 48-hour gamer girls as sisters and brothers, A DREAM... where we can all come together as one at the table of brotherhood, where no more shall the marginalized gunboaters be given a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient GR."

Don't worry, America. I am working tirelessly to bring about this dream. Vice President Sargmacher is working all day and night to correct this injustice. Equality isn't a privilege to be handed to some; it is a right to be enjoyed by all. This is the spirit on which webDiplomacy was founded, and by the grace of God and the power of the human mind, it is a spirit which shall live on in our administration.

And now, in uncertain future, I invoke all of you one last time to look to the past. Look to that simpler time, and take the fundamental values of the past with you as we work in this tattered present toward a united and prosperous tomorrow.

Let the principles of our past be the foundation of our future!

May I ask, Mr. President, what are your views on forum trolls like bloshio and TC?
Trolling, we must not forget, is a fine art - the great trolls of our time have provided endless hours of spectacle and joy into all our lives. Need we forget the great Conservative Man, whose magic touch - about which he fondly wrote, many many times - would instantly send a thread to 100 replies? Or The_Master_Diplofool, and all his wondrous aerodynamics coursework? Or perhaps still - ahah - yours truly! Surely trolling is not an inherent evil.

Sadly, though, there are several among us who have taken to perverting this great art. Perhaps it is their misunderstanding the art; perhaps they, in a feeble effort to 'troll' us all, have taken to trolling badly on purpose, with the aim of trolling the trolls. Whether vile avant-garde meta-art, or repugnantly simplistic graffiti, one cannot say; all one can say is that they are a disgrace to webDiplomacy and will be dealt with. Severely.

Nation,
Hard times are upon us. Times during which we must stay strong and follow the best among us. Mr Eden and Mr Sargmacher are far from it. Their amateurish campaign most be stopped at all costs. We, the brave journalists from Huly-ngton Post, cannot stay silent any longer.

The wannabe Vicepresident Sargmacher, affectionately called Assmarcher by those acquianted with this useful idiot, is a self-declared German resident. Has the Democratic Party sunk so low that it has to endorse a Nazi on its ballot? We hope not.

And President Eden as our President? Would you visit Dr Pepper when in need of medical assistance? WebDiplomacy.net will never be ruled by a homicidal supercomputer, not on our watch. We have watched way too many films to believe it could work. We deserve better. We deserve a President with an actual spine.

The Congo Party and its leader, 2ndWhiteLine, would like to formally announce its candidacy for President of WebDiplomacy. People, these are difficult times. Trolls is rampant. Gunboats do not get their just desserts in GR. Point inflation threatens to undermine the very legitimacy of this site. People are getting eaten alive down there. What does the current WebDip leadership do about this? NOTHING.

In order to properly govern WebDiplomacy, you need to know shit about the Congo. My opposition, the PE/Assmacher ticket (hereby known as the Pederast Party), DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT THE CONGO. They have no idea about the maneating atrocities committed there.

Fellow webdippers! Join the Congo revolution! The Congo Party stands for a return to the points standard, full recognition of gunboat in GR, autonomy for the east coast of Moscow, GR released EVERY month, and mandatory intervaginal ultrasounds for Blushoi! On Election Day, make sure you join the Congo line!

Why in the world did England draw this game here. Russia and Italy could have been eliminated and probably France as well without much difficulty. It was bad enough that Italy continued to attack me the whole game instead of stopping Turkey but this ending was enough to make me spit. I fought off both and for nothing. Worst game I've ever been in.
