Quote: "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."

I be keeper o ye holy grail.
Ye grail is ye source o all spam, and was rightfully entrusted into ye lords of ye vikings hall.
However, ye devil named Arthur and his evil conjurer named merlin have trapped me in ye greatest tower of ye greatest castle. I seek for my rescue for i believe i am located in spamalot castle.
This is our most desperate hour.
Help me Seppuku Arts, you are my only hope.

I am only preventing dictatorship, Phaelax. After all, I caught Jerico training a gigantic army of creepers, probably preparing a surprise attack on TGC and IanM's moon base. I will do the opposite and completely abolish creepers and death threats throughout the whole community.

Don't vote for dictators, nor people who eat their own heads. Vote for AutoBot. He has free cake!

Don't fall for Cheesecake, Quik, he only intends to make the cake a lie. I will do my best to decontaminate the cakes and bring back justice to cakedum. We may have to invest in some hazmat suits, but it'll be worth it.

I would like to point out that Cheesecake will NOT make the cake a lie. Although there was a brief period where the cake had some lie-like qualities, it is a REAL cake which will be served to all those who vote for me and Cheesecake.

I also think that no-one has correctly answered Matt's question 2 properly yet, do you really want a President who doesn't have an encyclopaedic knowledge of local forum history? The answer is of course not, both the book and the codez are real, however the book is stupid and the codez have not been gimmeh'd to me yet.

I have my best men working on it...

And in doing so, I shall have my Vice President, you see folks, voting for me will not only save the world, but free the keeper of the holy grail - think, a leader with a divine quest to undo what Arthur has wrought upon this world to finally bring peace to our lands. To think, you can do so much good with a single vote.

Lying is all a part of being a politician.

But not me.

I like to break the mold.

I like to be the one who mixes things up.

I like to be different.

So you should vote for me.

You see, you misunderstand the potential of a doomsday device*. All device supplied by the Seppuku Party are programmed to protect the forum. It's a simple case of preserving the forums. It's to avoid a simple arms race with those who do wish to bring harm to our forum. Allowing members to initiate their own personal doomsday device brings the action to the front lines of forum protection, because it's at the frontlines where it really matters. There is a war on and the crab people will be stopped and I am sorry for wanting to protect my citizens...er...forumers, but if my people are not able to possess their own doomsday device, then what's to protect them when they really need it the most. Crab people are a serious threat, so do not take it lightly with your ideals of a society where people do not possess their own doomsday technology, but I want to create a society where we do not need doomsday technology, but Rome wasn't built in a day, it takes time and it takes perseverance.


*All Doomsday Devices will not destroy the entirety of the internet, just 98% of it.

But a doomsday device in the wrong hands can destroy Rome in far less than a day. You aren't supposed to destroy Rome in less than a day. It's like a law or something.

I can understand your concerns. Our doomsday devices are especially programmed for one purpose only, to obliterate all spam, which takes up 98% of the Internet, hence the disclaimer. But of course, until we've got spam at the source and won a truce with the crab people, the people WILL need to defend themselves every time spam appears - what better way than to completely obliterate it at first sight? But you may be concerned that the doomsday device can be hacked and used for a much darker purpose, don't worry, I've not hired Sony to secure the code, instead I have worked with the world's top scientists and hackers and have developed a system that cannot be broken into - it took a lot of work and years of research without Matt Rock knowing much about it, at least until we had a breakthrough last month. And of course, if you vote for me, we can see that this system be ported over to video games and other software to end software piracy once and for all. To note: you do NOT have to remain constantly connected to the Internet for it to work.

As your vice president, I would make sure that rome is no longer an issue, as you read this my henchman are embedding an proton bomb deep in the earths crust.

I will also make sure 13 year olds eat their cereal, get to the bus stop in time and I will also will try to reduce teen convertible theft and partying (funfunfunfun style) by 76.4%

i dont want to block ads, as blocking ads hurts the company/whatever which is using them =/
ie on youtube, if i use a ad blocker while watching a big youtubers video, i hurt their income, i also believe it basicly applies to everything else

Another broken promise from INH

I on the other hand promise to always wash my hands after doing my vice-presidential business, especially after shaking hands with the president.
You see Jerico likes to get his hands dirty, he takes care of things and gets stuck in, he's not one of these pyjama-wearing namby-pamby politicians, he's a man of action.
