Even if you consider some of our members zombies they at least post occasionally in Atlasia. The JCP zombies never do.  Both seem to participate in the forum as a whole but I can say I'd rather prefer members who at least post a few times in Atlasia than never though of course I'd rather have everyone be active.

MJ you're my boy and you know it but that is bs.  I have never seen a good post by any of these new members that would suggest they actually care beyond being able to vote but Hamilton.

I've seen random posts occasionally. I'm not saying it's a lot but hey, I'll take anything atm over just a vote. Tongue

But thats the problem man, these people don't care beyond what they're told to do.  At least from my POV it seems like they were told to do this.  Nothing else makes any sense.

And that's the same for the JCP. They're told the candidates who they're supposed to support (basically who their party is running)and they come in and vote for them. According to them they support the candidates in whichever order they want but they're still told to come out and support the party with not knowing what's going on.

It's the same thing, just if you want to see it or not. I'd like to reform it, but until the JCP wants to change it too that won't happen.

Swedish Cheese, the JCP "zombie" voters as you call them are people who are active on the forum, care about Atlasia and know how it works, but don't become involved too much.

Your attacking the same people you're defending. Lahbas, Libertas, A-bob, FallenMorgan, JC, floridarepub, ajc0918 and azmagic have all been participating off the forum. I've seen it and I'm sure you've seen it too but won't admit it. All of these members have over 100 posts or have around 95 and will be there shortly. They're new and are working on establishing themselves on the forum.

They've all voted conservative and the way they party would like them to except for candidates after those in their party. And so has every JCP member save one that I can think of (same actually goes for the RPP too). Why are you not calling your own party out on that if it's troubling you so much?

Our "zombie" members are doing the same thing as yours but you have yet to have any problem with them. They both are active in the rest of the forum, ours are just new. And the members you mentioned haven't come back and stayed interested and as such they haven't voted and won't vote this time around or in the future. Those that are active on the rest of the forum have voted, those who aren't haven't. It's simple as that.

I'm a little tired of people pointing to the JCP as hypocritical in all of this. We encourage people to vote a certain way and we recruit people, but we don't recruit from other places on the internet and we don't instruct our members to spam to get the required amount of posts before they join and vote. If someone can't join, we don't force them, and we don't recruit anywhere else.

We have alot of people that don't post in Atlasia but for the most part they're established members of the forum at large. (Lunar, BRTD, Opebo, etc) You're just being plain disengenuous if you deny the contrast between our members and how the RPP operates.

1. Only Cindywho was recruited off forum and she's not around anymore. Will you or anyone else listen? Nope!

2. Our members are participating on the rest of the forum? Will you or anyone else listen? Nope!

3. Will you saying any of this matter as we continue to recruit the forum's conservatives as they join and become active? Nope!
