If I wasn't completely impartial on this matter, I'd vote Autobot - I wanna see the ninja monkeys!

I can't decide between Phaelax and Jerico, so I'm going to just toss a darn coin, lol. Not that anyone can see the coin toss, but this Heinz ketchup bottle, my pink budda candle that I've never lit because it just seems wrong, and my 23" monitor are all witnesses that yes, I'm really flipping a coin! And to make the occasion all the more special, I'll flip an old Namco arcade coin. So, Pacman, it's Jerico, Namco, it's Phaelax! Tossing...

Jerico it is. Sorry Phaelax! But you're already a silver codemaster, how many community titles does one guy need, lol. So yeah, I'm officially throwing my endorsement behind Jerico, and all votes for me (which don't matter anyway because I'm not running again) instantly equal a vote for Jerico/ Obese.

Most of my Presidential decisions have been made by flipping arcade coins. I once had to choose between allowing a huge zombie army to attack the planet Earth, or watching a segment of the Royal Wedding with the girlfriend. Zombies lost, sadly... and so did I.

"Ask not what your forum can do for you, but where is the cake?"

I have to admit I watched the wedding. My view is, if some crazy germans are going to demand £48m from tax payers to pay for a wedding I want to see that show! It was quite nice really and a few times I forgot that this is all a PR stunt for a bunch of mascots. Even the people commentating kept talking about "GB (Great Britain) the global brand".
In a strange way I like the monarchy, I think Britain might be better off if we abolished democracy and went back to a proper monarchy.

The problem with democracy is the same problem with the education system, politicians/students are trained to win elections/pass exams rather than learn the proper skills they will use day to day. So we are breeding politicians who don't really care about the public and lie to get into parliament, because those politicians are the ones that win elections! It's basically the evolution of the back-stabber!
Only a small minority take an interest in politics so most people don't even know what they are voting for! They either pick the party that their parent's voted for, or cast their vote for the catchiest slogan without knowing anything about the party's political views.

The idea of a monarch, who is trained from birth to lead their people sounds appealing. They would not lie or deceive their public, and they would feel a duty to serve. The only problem is if they're rubbish or greedy the only way to get rid of them is to chop off their head!

Hmm... I tried voting for Jericho again just now but I see you thought of that so maybe they have been using other computers or getting their friends from outside the forum to vote!
This could be the biggest voting scandal since the arcade coin toss of 2011!

But yeah, we're doing the voting here on TGC in an election thread Think of that as a Presidential poll, hehe

You can try You'll find out the limit is 1 vote per household.

An actual vote, when it comes time for it, will likely be on the forum where members say who they choose. I know that's not anonymous but at least that way we can make sure no outsiders get involved.

If elected, I'll do absolutely everything in my power to teach a kangaroo how to build a house. I will then clone the kangaroo and have the clones build houses for the homeless.

A vote against budokaiman is a vote against humanity.

I can see that I'm not doing too well in the polls... clearly a radical rethink of my policies is in order. But how will I keep up my image of meglomaniacal racism and hatred?

It looks like someone sabotaged my edit. 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.

Now, now Phaelax we all know Napoleon throws his support behind only one TGC member and that is me. His support led to me being instated as a moderator on these forums and his support for me continues to this very day! Clearly this is a bad photoshop effort... here are original unedited pics from way back when he started his support for me:

What type of laser?

The blu-ray drive is actually located at the top of his head, then the front of his pouch is used as the screen. The reason that the blu-ray is not in the pouch itself, is so that the discs don't get lost.

I'd be able to supply some Red Ray Disks with 19200 x 10800 definition, you could easily watch Napoleon Dynamite while roasting marshmellows on a nuclear fusion generated fire.

Hello all, a word from your local deity, yes, me, Seppuku. I served under the office of the great Rock (of the Matt variety) dealing with all things Viking, and I must say whilst under Matt's reign of terror did you once see Ragnorok occur? No, I think you did not. Did ice giants send the earth into a frozen wasteland? Again, that's a no. Has Loki run amok? Well, he did on one occasion, this is Loki we're talking about, but only one OAP was hurt. Has Thor ran all your beer supplies and harassed all your women? I think you find not, well, except maybe he did once - but really, want can you do about a god who wields a giant hammer of mighty power...er that's not a euphemism. You see I have worked very closely with our brothers of Asgard, our Nordic gods to ensure that these boards are safe from such dangers. But now, dark times are upon us my friends, for Matt's stepping down leaves a new threat open that hasn't prevailed for decades, yes folks, I am of course talking about...

Crab people.




Yes, crabs are people too and have every right to co-exist, but alas their voices have been suppressed for too long and if we don't seek a peaceful solution soon then we will see times worse than that of the FPSC famine of '63. You see we need our relationship with the Norse gods to bring us through dark times, to ensure that the crab people will either GTFO or to learn to co-exist. I will assign each moderator with a deity and I shall replace the ban-hammer with the mighty Mjollnir, hammer of the thunder god, Thor, no more will a ban deny you access to this forum, it will deny you entrance to the halls of Valhalla! No more will our miscreants face a mere newbslap, but a strike to the jaw with mighty fists of iron!

They say that Thor once took on the giants with great might and cunning and sacrificed everything to earn his title as a man amongst men, even sacrificing his masculinity to seduce the giant, Thrym, to only then strike him down with his mighty hammer...again not a euphemism. See him use his strength, see him use his smarts and together we shall see ALL trolls eradicated.

See now my friends, nay, brothers, a vote for Seppuku is not only a vote for victory, but also a vote for a better future.

What say you?

@Sepp:
There may have been only a few incredible attacks, but there have been far too many spam attacks. I don't know how you plan on taking care of spam attacks in the future, but if elected president, I will have my monkey / kangaroo hybrid crush the posts.

The sole reason the Vikings invaded England was to take Castle Spamalot and put an end to all spam, so I and my Viking brethren can sympathize there, the sole reason I've come to this earth as an Englishman is to put an end to it. It's an ambitious task I know, but if elected president, I will personally have Thor eliminate spam whilst Frey and I work on the source of the problem. As I speak Frey is speaking to a Cambridge University lecturer to receive information on the whereabouts of Castle Spamalot. We suspect King Arthur's holy grail may be at the source and with your support we can hire Harrison Ford and Sean Connery to assist us in our plight.
