February 2011 UDL Convention... IT'S ELECTION TIME - VOTE - VOTE - VOTE!!!

[J. J.]

And, Taoisigh, you have certainly lost all moral authority to criticize us, deciding to run with J.J., who is very conservative.  It's perplexing, and disappointing.

I'm not strictly speaking running 'with' J.J.. I'm allowing J.J. to run what basically is a non-ideological campaign with a message of game reform. I'll probably refrain from actively campaigning as well. And remember guys: this isn't going to cost the Atlasian left anything come election day.

I would not object to your endorsement with the understanding that I'm running a non-ideological campaign and that, if elected, once some reforms are underway, as they are related to the game, I'm resigning.

I'm very upfront about that.

[J. J.]

The RPP will not be endorsing.  I'd welcome endorsements from any party as long as they understand my principles in this race.

[J. J.]

For the record, I'm also disappointed by Belgiansocialist's choice to run for VP with an unexperienced right-winger who is running a demagogic campaign.

The only thing I disagree with is the "demagogic" comment.  I'm very straight forward with what I'll do, if elected.  I doubt if I'll win, but if I do, that is it.

I'm sorry if I disappointed you Antonio, but I hope that the explanations I've given for that decision elsewhere will be sufficient to at least help you understand the reasoning behind it.

And we are both on the same page on the issues that I'm raising.

[J. J.]

Yeah. Except that I've always backed game reform of some type. Except that your guy has like no recent experience in Atlasia and I truly doubt he understands the whole issue of recent contemporary Atlasia.

Of course I don't understand the issue of recent contemporary Atlasia.  Neither do a sizable portion of the voters.

That's the problem.  If we want to become active, we can't find out what is going on!

I know of no other way that a president can effect change other than doing that.

Ah, that is the problem.  I can say, I want out of the game, but under the rules, I cannot leave it, without violating the rules.  If I say, I want to be more involved, I can't find anything.  You, effectively, want to have it both ways.

I care enough about the game not to violate its rules and to act within its rules, at least those I can find. 

[J. J.]

Am I the only one who thinks this ship is sinking?

Like the Titanic.

If the Titanic is Atlasia, it has already sunk.

And you're quite helpful in sinking it now, J. J.

I'm rearranging the deck chairs while it is on the bottom of the Atlantic.  Ironically, I cannot even abandon ship.

And, to be a bit more serious, in the last day, I've seen, in game terms, senior members, supposedly experienced and active, that took days to find a copy of legislation that effects the right of every member.  In game terms, we have one experienced and active candidate that doesn't know if a war ended and another who doesn't know why we're still paying for it.

You don't see a problem?
