Innovative idea, but:

1. Elections are Federal, not Regional
2. The Whigs lost

You know that our party needs to stick together if it ever wants any shot at winning, and coming in here to pretend that it's somehow dishonest isn't fooling anyone. You can't have every vote. Also, you say you'd be embarrassed to come from a party like ours... but get real. The Labor Party is no different in its tactics, and the only reason it might appear so is because you're the one talking substance. That doesn't mean the party has changed. It's especially funny because only four months ago you really wouldn't have fit the Labor mold at all. Yet we're the "pan-ideological social club." Roll Eyes

I find it disgraceful that you and so many others from your party are willing to stoop to supporting a last-minute screwball campaign run by a couple of serial quitters just because you think that they might have some chance of winning the election. Do you honestly expect that their party affiliation would mean anything once they were elected? You're being played; I won't shy away from saying so.

First off, I'd kindly respect if my past inactivity was not an issue in this campaign. The problems I faced that caused me to sporadically become inactive have been dealt with in my life through some pretty serious events you're no doubt aware of.

That aside, though, if you check the campaign thread we've already addressed every issue you raise here. I also object to our classification as a "screwball" campaign- we haven't done anything to indicate we were not completely serious. Admittedly, we are unorthodox, but we're focused on reviving this game and that requires some thinking outside the box. I suppose I can't take your attacks too personally, as it's natural one resorts to petty name-calling and strawmen when they have nothing of substance to say.

I'd prefer if we can keep this campaign at a higher level of discussion, but if you insist at degrading the level of discourse I guess I have no choice but to respond in kind.

Oh, right, because this is serious and substantive?

<excellent campaign ad>

Give me an inksing break.

Certainly it's a bit tongue-in-cheek, obviously; I made it a bit humorous so that it would get more notice and so that I didn't cause any hard feelings between Matt and myself. However, the issues I present are certainly serious- I'm highlighting that Oakvale/BK is more in sync with Federalist principles than our opponents in the primary, particularly on the topics they have decided to focus their campaign on.

How is that not serious and substantive? Surely a post doesn't need to be five humorless pages of tl;dr to be taken seriously around here, no?

I'm very sorry to hear about everything you're going through right now Marokai. Sad I hope everything turns out okay.
