Add the words "Death" and "head" to that list and you got my support!

Oh wait...I'm running. Nevermind then.

Well I'm not president yet, so I can't do anything right now.
But trust me, if (when) I get elected I'll send you to one of my "camps" if you so will.

Omega Gamer 89 now admitted that he will force people who have names like "Anna" to not have their names as user handles. Is this the kind of tyranny you want on these forums?
If I get elected I will give out free activated land mines to the people who didn't vote for me.

Everything Omega says is true. I am helping him with his campaign. I'm going to embark on designing fliers. Those of you who support---other---candidates still have a chance to support Omega Gamer 89 (oh no, full name again!). If you don't support him, you get no ice cream like he promised those of us who DO support him. And we like ice cream. If YOU, the people of TGC, like ice cream as well, then vote Omega Gamer 89 for the '12 elections. Thank you for your time.

My friends, I now have photographic evidence that Google... Yes, GOOGLE, is endorsing the Rock/ Dink ticket for President of TGC! Well, Google Ads anyway:



Clearly, Google Ads wants me to win the election because I'll fight to improve their advertising results and make them more consistent with the subjects of threads and websites. As Joe the Programmer will be quick to tell you, I've always been an avid supporter of cleaning up Google Ads and making them relevant to websites. While this plan will reduce forum humor by 2.37%, my administration will make up for that lost humor by dressing up Omega in a dead turtle costume and flushing him down an enormous toilet each time he says something that bothers someone. This will provide 6.18% humor, producing a humor surplus of 3.81%! And it will create even MORE jobs, because we'll need to employ a crew of flushing and plunging specialists!

That person is not me, that is one of the persons who didn't vote for me so I put him in one of my camps. I just green screened that photo. If you saw where he ACTUALLY sat you would be screaming in fear right now.
And yes, I am Dracula. All the cool kids know that.
How do I actually look? Something like this one just a bit more 3d'ish.
Vote me and MORE people will end up like that guy.

Yodaman, you clearly only support Omega for the free ice cream. Do you not realize that Omega plans to give everyone in our community an ice cream headache and rotten teeth? I, for one, would never endorse and/ or vote for a candidate with such evil intentions. Of course Google Ads supports Omega's ice cream policy, it'll make them more money when they start pitching Sensodyne adverts! But they clearly endorse my ticket directly by name, and not because it'll make them more money, because it'll make them more efficient. If Google, one of the biggest corporations in the known universe, wants me to be President because of my efficiencies, what do you think that means I can do for members of this fine community?

My campaign is running on issues, not empty promises. I have a series of progressive plans to make this community a better place for everyone. Omega's solutions to every problem revolve around ice cream, fire, and fire-flavored ice cream. When you're done eating that ice cream, or being burned alive, or both, what will you do then? How is Omega going to resolve the REAL problems facing this community? He won't fix anything. He'll just keep feeding you ice cream and setting people on fire until our community has fully slipped into utter disarray.

But don't fret, the Rock/ Dink ticket has comprehensive plans to fix the many issues we forum-dwellers face. Would you rather have free ice cream, or would you rather make money through a stronger game dev economy*? Would you rather set noobs on fire, or train them to be intelligent, contributing members of our community? Ice cream lasts for a few minutes. Strong policies last for generations. Vote Rock/ Dink.

And don't bother with Matt Rock, the one who needs long posts to explain themselves are usually the most insecure ones. Do you want a insecure president?
Vote Alucard, I have short posts and I will give Benjamin full power over the TGC forums to do whatever he wants.

Rock/Dink, Omega promises more than just ice cream. He promises the full preservation of lolcatz and promises to get rid of noobs. And I hate noobs. (No offense to those noobs who are actually cool.)

Anyway, I'm pretty sure Omega has promised the Vice Presidency to me, and I like that proposal. I think running TGC by serving it's member with ice cream and lolcatz is a fine idea, indeed. Justice to the forums sounds like a winner.

And what real issues? The most annoying thing I can think of on theses forums is noobs, and Omega promises to get rid of them. So, it's a win/win situation.

VOTE OMEGA GAMER 89! OMEGA FTW!!

Matt Rock, you claim you will make n00bs non-n00bs.
This is absolutely nothing but lies and misdirection.
Once a n00b, always a n00b. Sure you can be NEW to a forum, and then become less new, but that is different from being a n00b. A n00b is a n00b from the second they are born, till the day they die.
I suppose that next you'll be teaching the trolls how to put down their clubs, come out from under their bridges, and have tea and cookies?
HA! Impossible.
I, however, will launch a campaign to exterminate the trolls, by feeding the n00bs to them. (Once they have been properly set on fire, of course.) Then, when the trolls are full and sleepy, we will burn them, put them in cages, set the cages on fire, and send the whole thing into the sun.

What do I have to be insecure about? I'm ahead in the polls by a considerable margin right now . The only thing I'm confused about is if I'm going to decorate my Presidential office in modern deco or casual contemporary.

Quote: "Omega promises more than just ice cream. He promises the full preservation of lolcatz and promises to get rid of noobs."

So in other words, he doesn't want to improve our community, he just wants to maintain the status quo (lolcatz) and bury problems instead of fixing them (noobs). Gotcha. You were a noob not too long ago, Yoda. Everyone was a noob at some point. Omega's plan would call for you to be destroyed before you can show us your real potential.

Quote: "And what real issues?"

* a plethora of pointless threads
* not enough games being developed on the WIP/ PA boards
* too little moderation on the design theory board
* Paris Hilton still exists
* not enough jobs for TGC'ers

The Rock/ Dink ticket has solutions to every problem you can think of. No other ticket (well, candidate, since so few candidates have running mates at this point) has a viable solution to every issue. All the more reason to vote Rock/ Dink!

Edit: And yes, I will sit down with noobs and trolls without preconditions. If they can't be saved, they'll be sent to Barbie Island.

You were previously the only one that was part of my perfect world, thereby, you would be the only one that would not be sent to the camps.
Now you've changed that.

...

Okay since no one wants to vote for me I'll just set my plan in order RIGHT NOW. I don't have to be president.
Benjamin, I hereby give you complete control over TGC, anything you say will happen, will happen.
And everyone who isn't part of my perfect world (Which are most of you) will soon to be either incinerated or sent to the camps. Once the camps get built that is.

Hmm, tough call. Your cabinet position will be one of the harder jobs I think. We need anarchy provoked to keep challenging the government, and we need it contained for the same reason. And I do enjoy cookies... not sure, but I trust you to make good decisions in the role .

@ Alucard: If you endorse me now, I'll give you a cabinet position as well, one that would suit you nicely. Secretary of Internment. Your call

Since Pus isn't declaring an official election day, I propose we force it on him. November 25th. Remember remember the 25th of November. And polls close on December 1st, so only votes cast during that window will count. Everyone can vote for one candidate/ ticket and their vote counts once regardless of whether or not they say otherwise. Is that fair?

^ Another fine example of my remarkable leadership ability. ^

Did I appoint Benjamin to Secretary of Sarcasm way too early?

Quote: "I won't fall for Matt's attempts to poison my mind! I will stand!"

No poison Alucard, just practicality. Take a look at the polls. I'm leading by a substantially enormous margin right now, not that anyone didn't see that coming . You can fight the system, or you can make the system better and lead our OFFICIAL internment camps, and be paid for your work to boot! But I'm not sure if I want that logo as the official seal of the office if you accept my invitation. Something about it just doesn't sit well with me for some reason. Maybe the smileys? No, that's not it. Well, regardless, the offer still stands.

I'm still struggling to figure out who I'll declare Flame Master General. Tough decisions lie ahead as I continue to barnstorm my way to the Presidency.

Matt Rock has declared that he has appointed Benjamin Secretary of Sarcasm. Is this the kind of thing you want your President to be doing, or would you rather have ice cream and not be pestered by n00bs?

Matt Rock also uses cute innocent pumpkins as pressure to vote for him. Come on, VEGETABLES!?!? This is not the right choice for the TGC PRESIDENCY. Omega Gamer 89 will not stand for using vegetables as a form of threatening. This act is unforgivable and is most likely prohibited in other regional areas, such as Spain.

Matt Rock also has stated that the real issues reside in the boards that are less populated. Well, I'm pretty sure that if you vote for Omega, that means that everyone will get ice cream and that that would increase the popularity of the forums, thus bringing more publicity to TGC. Therefore, by logical reasoning, every problem will go away. But what about those n00bs?

Matt Rock has said that everyone here was a n00b at one time. That means he feels SYMPATHY for said n00bs and that in fact he was/is still a n00b! Do you want a n00b President? Or would you rather have ice cream? The choice is yours, TGC. Make the Right Choice.

Look here Rock, I DO in fact own n00bs, but not in that way. I mean I OWNZ them, WoW style, by kicking their butts off the forums. I currently have about 50 thousand completely locked up in a small little closet, and it's starting to get uncomfortable in there. If you vote for Omega, the secret ray he and I have been working on will turn them into Mutant Star Goats, and barrels of Ice Cream. Please, vote for Omega Gamer 89 for the elections on the 25th of November. You will not regret it.

Oh, and that stuff about getting incinerated, it's all true, he and I will incinerate you if you are a n00b. Don't be a n00b. Vote Omega!

Please people. Do you want people like Matt or Omega as your president! I mean, they are strong candidates, but the way they are advertising themselves is almost shameful. Vote for me, Andrew John Hunt, and let me assure you, my fellow TGCers. We shall never go into the depths of darkness, where no man has gone. We shall walk towards the light making us having a brighter future.

If Google, one of the biggest corporations in the known universe, wants me to be President because of my efficiencies, what do you think that means I can do for members of this fine community?

My campaign is running on issues, not empty promises. I have a series of progressive plans to make this community a better place for everyone. Omega's solutions to every problem revolve around ice cream, fire, and fire-flavored ice cream. When you're done eating that ice cream, or being burned alive, or both, what will you do then? How is Omega going to resolve the REAL problems facing this community? He won't fix anything. He'll just keep feeding you ice cream and setting people on fire until our community has fully slipped into utter disarray.

But don't fret, the Rock/ Dink ticket has comprehensive plans to fix the many issues we forum-dwellers face. Would you rather have free ice cream, or would you rather make money through a stronger game dev economy*? Would you rather set noobs on fire, or train them to be intelligent, contributing members of our community? Ice cream lasts for a few minutes. Strong policies last for generations. Vote Rock/ Dink."

[Sarcasm]WOW! That sure is shameful![/Sarcasm]

Woot, ty for the support guys! Andrew, in keeping with my previous promise to award cabinet positions to those who drop out and endorse me, I'm going to make you Secretary of Hilarious Signatures . Your avatar dances along perfectly in sync with the song "Cannonball" by the Breeders btw. Video.

What's wrong with my campaign? My campaign is being run purely on the issues, as Joe the Programmer wants it! It's been a harsh campaign, sure, but what Presidential campaign isn't? The Rock/ Dink ticket of course needs to counter attacks, but the polls don't lie... we're ripping ahead because people realize that we're mavericks, and that real change is on the way when we're elected. Oh, and we aren't threatening to kill anyone. Well, not everyone in my future administration is anyway.

Edit: John Wilkes Booth, Mark David Chapman, Lee Harvey Oswald... Andrew John Hunt?

Quote: "Matt Rock also uses cute innocent pumpkins as pressure to vote for him. Come on, VEGETABLES!?!?"

Would you prefer we used fruits? If you insist...



All better now?

In all seriousness, Joe the Pumpkin is an avid Rock/ Dink supporter. He supported Omega until he was brutally insulted by your ticket's plans to eradicate noobs, because he hadn't even registered for TGC yet. A very unwelcoming policy coming from people who supposedly love this community and want to make it better for everyone . So why is Joe the Pumpkin standing behind my ticket? Because we'd rather train noobs and imprison the ones who can't contribute regardless of our efforts than just slaughter anyone who doesn't immediately understand the rules of our community.
