Well, we're coming up to the run-up of the election, and I just want to get some things straight. Unlike other people I've heard of, I will not raise the ocean waters 5 meters. I will not cause the mass extinction of polar bears, and I am pro-everything not suck.

There's some people here that think I am pro-suck. I would like to tell those people that I am not pro-suck. In fact, I am pro-blo. Or pro-awesome, but definitely not pro-suck.

Some people even think I don't know what I am doing, that I am inexperienced. I would like to ask those people, have you ever defeated GLaDOS without using the portal gun? Well I have. I also got the cake after that.

Some people even think that I wear my shoes on my hands. Tell me, how can you wear shoes on your hands, when your hands are bananas, like mine.

There's some people who think that I'm not up to the task. There's some people here that think I am weak. I will tell those people that I am not weak. I am strong. I am a monster truck that walks like a man.

Thank you. Vote Jerico2day.

Well, my good people, one thing that I can definately offer is cake. There's really no doubt about that, since that's what most of my campaign has revolved around for the past two weeks! And I recognize the interests of Apollo forum-goers, so I'm going to offer something else, too. I'm going to offer toast. But no, this isn't any type of toast, this is programmable toast! Now you can program your latest DBPro game via toast in minutes!



Quote: "I am a monster truck that walks like a man."

I would like to discuss this issue. I have been fighting for the AutoBots for many years, and it is only my duty to protect this community from DECEPTICONS! But if only Jerico would join the Autobots, he would be able to join me with Optimus Prime in our fight for forumwide peace. I will never tear down buildings with my iron fists, nor will I campaign with death threats. No death threats means justice. Justice means toast. Toast means pacman. Pacman means cake. Cake means AutoBot.

Thank you.

When are the elections coming? I can't help thinking that if Jerico were president time would proceed far more efficiently than under the current government.
During MattRock's premiership, over 6 million people have died as a direct result of time. We aim to halve time-related deaths and alleviate boredom caused by time-overdosing.

I think that this apocryphal remark from Obese neatly demonstrates what I consider to be one of this largest and most common misconceptions in our world. We seem to have this bizarre notion that death is a bad thing. I beleive that this is not true. In fact, I think we should be encouraging death as much as we can. Why is this? Well, it's very simple.

People are Evil.


That's right. There's no two ways about it, the majority of all people are terrible, terrible creatures, with absolutely no moral feelings. Indeed, even I am evil, it says so right there in my presidential description, that's kind of my gimmic. Because of this, death is not the greatest affliction of our planet, birth is. Every day, hundreds of evil babies are born to evil mothers and evil fathers. Every single day, another batch of disgusting, vile humans is created, ready to add their destructive graffiti'd tagmark to the world.
Well I won't stand for it! As president (Incedentally, it really should be Prime Minister, TGC being UK based and all, but what the hell right?), I promise to lower birth rates by 200%. That's right, not only will birth rates drop to absolute zero, but some births that have already been made will be reversed. Literally... I'm kinda into that. Don't judge me.

Vote for INH. Saving the world, by killing people. And making vasectomies compulsary. Don't judge me.

But cake is currently still a lie, so he was obviously lying about that. But if I become president, I will take away the lies of the cake, bringing back true cakedum to the community.

On to other matters, I have recognized the latest disasters impinging tyranny upon the economy. The Apture Bar, the Apture Learn More Box, and many more of their wretched commercial schemes! I want people to know that I am fully willing to lead a rebellion against Apture's invasion of the forums. Thenerd and I would need to commision the ninja monkeys from the moon base for an attack, but I think we'll survive. And the space suits are on the way, I just need to pay shipping and handling.

In fact, we can do better than that! Birth rates will be lowered by THREE hundred percent--births that haven't even happened yet will be reversed!

Ketchup has nothing to do with anything though. That baby was clearly being baptized in punch.

tsk tsk, so many good games have come from the big industry and is probably what caused the attraction to game development in the first place for many people in the younger generations.

Will the voting go until the end of the day at the international time zone border thingy aka hawaii or something?

I hope people take it relativeley seriously and not just treat it as a popularity contest.

Well anyway, here's an example of why design runner will help the forum community

http://fps-files.com/e107_plugins/roster/roster.php
In only a few months he became user support on fps files (following in yours truly's footsteps )
He's always available in the chatroom when anybody needs a helping hand, even making 3d models on request.

Poloflece

edit: I've made some changes to our policies, birth rate will be reduced to a point where people degenerate into babies then absorb themselves

I've been told that I can officially announce the new Forum President, bypassing the need to vote.

The new Forum President is..... Wait, who are you?



I'm sorry, I was just about to make an important announcement, I don't have time to eat an apple...



No I'm sorry, I will not eat it, You are a very strange looking woman and that apple is probably poisoned...



Okay!! OKAY I WILL EAT THE APPLE... PLEASE DON'T HURT ME.... Ahhhh....



Okay... The new Forum President is...... *BLERHG*

I will also ensure that each new baby will work to provide at least £50000 of income a year. Markers will also be provided to draw mustaches and monocles on the babies.

Yes.. Mattrock said earlier that it would be a thread here. I think it's for the best, it stops the 'cheating' that can occur when using an outside poll...

It was supposed to be a monkey / kangaroo fire-breathing hybrid. And it would be 70 km tall, and keep a giant laser in it's pouch.

So, because I'm a moron (that, or really, really smart), I forgot to put up the voting thread. I blame Osama Bin Laden. For whatever reason, I kept telling myself that it was May 15th that voting started on... not May 15th that voting ended on. Zombie appreciation month FTW. But five days late is better than never, so I'm putting it up now, lol. Sorry!

Voting will run from today to May 20th to compensate for my awesome brain. So go vote!
