Okay now seriously you nitwits. I will make TGC and everything else (What I meant with "world") perfect.

Some advice from the guy in the lead. Firstly, calling everyone nitwits doesn't help your campaign, it just alienates people. Second, you fail to list the ways you'll make TGC/ the world better if elected. Third, you don't explain in graphic detail how everyone will be incinerated if they don't vote for you. Observing my advice may or may not result in political ruin.

Brutally killing everyone who's not perfect isn't good enough for you? Wow, tough crowd.

People, do you want people who need to be photoshopped to win? Or someone who can and will make your wants a reality? I may not be looking to create the "Perfect" forum, but hey, I can half bring alot of things to table, unlike many other candidates. So think, and vote for Deathead, for your president.

I'll see what I can do about it. I don't think it was merely them picking on you, but still if I come across why your sig was deleted then I'll respond back to you.

Now that's the speech I want to hear!

Also, I find it disturbing that the girl in Alucard's picture is smiling while the house burns down in the background... Though it is a fabulous piece of annotation.

Okay, snap decision: TGC gets invaded by an unsavoury forum filled with louts and people who type "gr8" and use caps lock all the time! The forums are filled with threads chock-full of... mature... pictures! They have a serious operation going which is dedicated to the destruction of all things TGC! And one of our Mods, who has been here for years, turns out to be one of them, bent on bringing this place down from the inside - but nobody knows which Mod it is!

What do you do, candidates? Oh what do you do?

I'd probably firstly save all the mature images to my HDD and then kill (Or ban if I feel nice) all the bad people.

I think i'll stick with Matt Rock, as he will train noobs and make them normal users. But if Matt Rock fails, i'll vote for you.

You can't POSSIBLY be HUMAN!! How is it possible to not eat ice cream at least once or twice a month? Have you ever heard of Dairy Queen? Or McDonald's ice cream? What about the ice cream from those machines in buffet-style restaurants?

TGC, don't vote for Matt!

Doesnt Matt Rock know how many noobs there are to train? itll take ages to train them even with a good group of teachers. And they keep joining the forum all the time so it will not be possible to teach all of them.

I don't think he'd have to train every noob, just the ones with the bad grammar and the ones with bad attitudes.

Even if you just train the ones with bad attitudes/grammar, it will be very difficult.

If theyre just here to break the AUP, then they dont deserve to be part of this community. So banning will work much better. Training will just waste time.

I just replied to your email and I'll reply here as well. If you took the time to read what the mod typed into his sig, it says it's larger than 600x120.

I'd appreciate Game Maker not posting this in multiple threads like there's some conspiracy.

I almost always eat meals cooked at home, or order pizza or chinese delivery. It's pretty rare that I eat fast food, we don't have a Dairy Queen within 20 miles of my house, McDonald's ice cream is basically frozen sugar with MSG, and I don't eat in buffets for a number of reasons.

Quote: "What do you do, candidates? Oh what do you do?"

Shoot the hostage! Okay, no more references to Speed, I promise...

Step I - Contact multiple moderators I know and trust via email or instant messenger to alert them to the bad content, so they can begin fighting it thread by thread.

Step II - Send an email to Rich, CC'd to Rick, as a heads-up warning, with links to examples of the bad content, and warn them that a moderator may be behind the act.

Step III - Email my full administration to warn them of the attacks. It would be our jobs to keep everyone calm and cool during the pr0n invasion.

Step IV - See to it that the moderator and all other perpetrators are banned from TGC for life. Some behavior can't be helped. There will be strong recommendations from the administration that Rich send the moderator in question to Barbie Island... life sentence.

Step V - All of the valiant moderators who saved the day would be rewarded for their efforts somehow. I'm not sure how yet, but hey, it's only a hypothetical scenario!

In the wake of this disaster, we'd need someone to wash all of the peanut butter off of Alucard. As President, I will do everything within my power to ensure that we send Omega on that mission. Just as the community would want it!

Edit: Unless of course there are volunteers

I will kill every mod, taking down the culprit too. I will use my presidential powers to ban all the horrible people, or obtain their house address and- well, you know the rest.

I will then get some monkey drones to moderate the forums and make them edit people's posts to make out as if they are speaking in tongues. Then I will drain the rainbow of it's warped carpel cyanide hampster.

Pus says that if you vote for him you die, which is accurate, seeing as if you vote for him you didn't vote for me, which makes you non prefect and I notice everyone who's not prefect and kills them.
So a vote for Pus is really just a vote for not being perfect.

It's now the 24th and no new candidates may join. (Although you'd be mad to do so now.) Is there ANYONE I've missed out of my list? I'll check over it, but I need to know now if you're not on here. Voting starts tommorrow on the new thread (soon to be posted.)

And of course, voting for me is mandatory.
