Newsletter Ranting: Honesty, Delivered Brutally [Mad Marokai!]

[Rowan]

I love how no one has denied it.

There's no person called "ARC" that could have told anyone to come post here.

Your master Hamilton.

Hamilton is on mod review and can't even post.

He can PM.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I love how no one has denied it.

There's no person called "ARC" that could have told anyone to come post here.

Your master Hamilton.

Hamilton is on mod review and can't even post.

He can still PM freely.

[Psychic Octopus]

I find it funny that Marokai completely forgot to mention the part where I attempted to destroy Hamilton in a coup, funded and supported by the very people he despises. I've said before that I regret posting the PMs, but only at the time I did, I think I should have kept them for use at a later date. Yes, yes, I was part of Hamilton's "zombie wave" of the Pacific. Big deal. I had been active before on the site, registered October 2008, thank you very much. I had an interest in Atlasia that was in its early stages, and Hamilton was the first to make contact with me. I registered in the state I live in. You critique me for joining the Pacific, the region I happen to live in real life, when you live in Ohio, and are registered in Arizona. And, if you had any worthwhile information, I only joined because Xahar told me that the ticket had DA support at the time.

Good god, at least show all the information.

Meaning him contacting you was not inhibited by his being on mod review like you previously claimed to be the case.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I feel like the current state of affairs is quickly becoming a replay of the feud between bgwah & Xahar, only on the anti-left rather than the left.

Um, when did I claim that was the case? I've spoken to him via PM myself. That doesn't mean he is plotting some grand conspiracy to bring about the downfall of Atlasia.

Members of the ARC think for themselves.

When you respond that "he is on Mod Review" the insinuation was "he couldn't have contacted me on Mod Review"

[Marokai Backbeat]

after finally taking some time to read this newsletter, i resent the implication that I'm a "zombie" simply because I'm relatively new to Atlasia. i don't think that the shunning, bullying, or denying of new members makes the game more interesting by any stretch of the imagination.

AKA, I was told by the ARC to come post this in this thread.

Yeah, If people expect me to buy that these folks are coming in here and are just so awfully upset and their little hearts are just broken because of this, I call bullshit. This is an ARC tactic when a thread isn't going well for them, it's called crowd out the thread, troll, and just act overall hysterical. They've done it plenty of times. Everytime someone is critical of them they activate the bitchy hordes.

[Хahar 🤔]

Marokai, listen. I understand your concerns with zombies and whatnot. But, instead of telling new members that they'd be better off gone, why don't we try encouraging them? I was encouraged, and so were you. Both of us are active Atlasians because of it.

No, don't listen to Xahar, Marokai. Keep recruiting for the ARC; you are doing a great job.

I couldn't care less about your little spats with Hamilton. You're just as close now as you ever were, and your wiki page is nauseatingly complimentary of Hamilton. You are on the ticket because you're easy to use for electoral benefit. You are a tool.

The problem is that playing that game ultimately has no end. We shouldn't criticize anyone in your mind because they might, somewhere over the rainbow, become active someday. It doesn't work like that.

These people are almost never active, they do everything they're told to do, and they vote the line they're informed to. I didn't even single out people like Libertas as a zombie this time. He's not exactly a great contributor, but he contributes nonetheless. My point that 50% of total ARC support in the Senate election came from inactive zombies stands and your "don't criticize them because you might be proven wrong someday" line is a cop-out.

"Fodder"? Fodder for what?

[Sam Spade]

I don't really want to have to say very much on this subject because it isn't really my place, but I do seem to remember that the question of "zombieism" is rather subjective and is one of a whole host of related problems that I may be forced to grapple with in the near future.

Please carry on.

That's all fine and well, but you're criticizing people as zombies after they decide to run for office. I don't know how you can defend that.

Part of the requirements of the Wiki is that info be unbiased. "Disputed to do neutrality claims"? I didn't want to be objective of any poster, and I tried not to be.  I am not sure why I was selected, and didn't know of it until Xahar Pm'd me. I decided to run with him because he is my friend, and I have talked with him numerous times in the past. I don't care if I was electoral use or not. A lot of Badger's voters were zombies, but you couldn't care less.

December 15th, 2009

You knew it was coming. I just wish I got to another topic first.

In the last couple days, Xahar announced he was running for President with NiK as his running mate.

Lt. Governor: Alexander Hamilton

Yes, that NiK. The one who was Hamilton's man from day one when he tried to invade the Pacific region with zombies. But we've covered that before, no need to go back in time. This isn't a Blast From the Past article afterall, but it is essential to understand the full background of this event. And as such, knowing the curious and electorally savvy choice of NiK is important to keep in mind given his connection and his admirers.

Immediately, the ARC lined up behind him. Why would they do such a thing? The ARC would not support any random leftist, of course. Just take a look at their set of principles! Xahar is a leftist figure who has openly sympathized with and supported Socialist movements, erase his name and the circumstances from the run, and imagine any other traditional leftist, would the ARC support them? Hell no they wouldn't.

A few days ago, Bgwah, in a simple joke at the time, told Hamilton I was the JCP candidate for February. We were anxious for reactions, and so I let it go unchallenged. Within hours, though, who is the first person to contact me about me supposedly running for President? Xahar. News went straight from Hamilton to Xahar within hours on the day before and day of his decision to run. While Bgwah didn't achieve the plans he wanted to with the prank, we realized one thing from it, Xahar and Hamilton were in close contact.

Xahar/NiK is a ticket that reeks of backroom dealing, of cold calculation, of political convenience, reeks of Hamilton. And then this was said:

A good ticket which I hope I can convince the DA to support in February, if possible.

How.. disappointing. Of course, Hash later 'retracted' his support (after some great DA members rebelled from the decision and against Hash's attempted forcing of support) but what the hell? Why would Hash even come to that conclusion in the first place? Clearly, of course, he was involved before the announcement in some fashion, but why would you ally with that group?

The ARC is not officially on the ticket, but they are in all but name, they are in spirit. NiK being Hamilton's man, ARC support, in constant contact with Hamilton behind the scenes.. it is rather clear the spirit of the ARC surrounds every move of this ticket. And so, because of this, the ticket will inevitably rely on ARC support! That much is clear! And who does the ARC support consist of? Trolls, zombies, fools.

These are the voters that cast their vote for the ARC candidate in the Senate election:

(cutie_15, Hamilton, segwaystyle2012, Lahbas, Winston Disraeli, Mechaman, Einzige, Earth, azmagic, Dallasfan65, ajc0918, Libertas, Mint, jamespol, FallenMorgan, rebeltarian, phknrocket1k, Sam Spade, Elvis Republican, yoman82, General Mung Beans, PiT)

We can safely call segwaystyle2012, Lahbas, azmagic, Dallasfan65, ajc0918, rebeltarian, Elvis Republican, yoman82, and General Mung Beans zombies. I didn't even know who the hell some of these people were or that they were registered until they voted, for Christ's sake. That's nine voters that are conclusively zombies, let along the others that you could classify as close, such as Earth, phknrocket1k (who is a JCP zombie), or FallenMorgan who doesn't really participate much at all, but whatever, I'll give that libertarian the benefit of the doubt though.

What can be said though, is that out of 22 total votes for the ARC candidate, at least ten of them are zombies. Nearly HALF of the ARC candidate votes in the Senate elections were zombies! Other candidates aren't innocent, of course. Badger had a couple zombies, Fritz had one, Afleitch had one, Barnes had one or two. But none of these candidates relied so heavily that quite literally 50% of their total support came from them!

And this is what will be the machine behind Xahar/NiK. This is what Hashemite, noted anti-zombie crusader, wanted to ally with. If any of you are to support Xahar/NiK, keep in mind the whole time who supports them.

Quite simply, the ARC is a troll movement. No other movement like that in my entire time in Atlasia has been so open and blatant about the fact that they are a troll movement causing trouble "for the lulz" than the ARC. That's why it's stunning why so many normal people would even consider giving it the time of day.

Duke was right about one thing, even though I've criticized him plenty of times in the past Atlasia is simply full of stupid people and children. Kids who will warm up to anyone who says two nice words about them and forget all about the past. No one in Atlasia has more than a 48 hour memory, and it's frustrating beyond all belief.

Xahar/NiK is a ticket based on the idea of winning by any means necessary. It is a fake unity ticket, relying heavily on troll and zombie support. Xahar wants to win so much, Xahar wants power so much, that he made a deal with the devil to have a shot. I look forward to how the race shapes up, and I encourage the honorable DA members to continue to rebel against the ticket that epitomizes all that is wrong with Atlasian elections, and I hope Xahar shows some policies as time goes on so he doesn't look like someone who's completely power hungry. But at this point? I'm not encouraged.

And please, for the love of God, don't be sweet-talked.

This rant is awesome!

A few days ago, Bgwah, in a simple joke at the time, told Hamilton I was the JCP candidate for February. We were anxious for reactions, and so I let it go unchallenged. Within hours, though, who is the first person to contact me about me supposedly running for President? Xahar. News went straight from Hamilton to Xahar within hours on the day before and day of his decision to run. While Bgwah didn't achieve the plans he wanted to with the prank, we realized one thing from it, Xahar and Hamilton were in close contact.

Xahar/NiK is a ticket that reeks of backroom dealing, of cold calculation, of political convenience, reeks of Hamilton. And then this was said:

A good ticket which I hope I can convince the DA to support in February, if possible.

How.. disappointing. Of course, Hash later 'retracted' his support (after some great DA members rebelled from the decision and against Hash's attempted forcing of support) but what the hell? Why would Hash even come to that conclusion in the first place? Clearly, of course, he was involved before the announcement in some fashion, but why would you ally with that group?

The ARC is not officially on the ticket, but they are in all but name, they are in spirit. NiK being Hamilton's man, ARC support, in constant contact with Hamilton behind the scenes.. it is rather clear the spirit of the ARC surrounds every move of this ticket. And so, because of this, the ticket will inevitably rely on ARC support! That much is clear! And who does the ARC support consist of? Trolls, zombies, fools.

These are the voters that cast their vote for the ARC candidate in the Senate election:

(cutie_15, Hamilton, segwaystyle2012, Lahbas, Winston Disraeli, Mechaman, Einzige, Earth, azmagic, Dallasfan65, ajc0918, Libertas, Mint, jamespol, FallenMorgan, rebeltarian, phknrocket1k, Sam Spade, Elvis Republican, yoman82, General Mung Beans, PiT)

We can safely call segwaystyle2012, Lahbas, azmagic, Dallasfan65, ajc0918, rebeltarian, Elvis Republican, yoman82, and General Mung Beans zombies. I didn't even know who the hell some of these people were or that they were registered until they voted, for Christ's sake. That's nine voters that are conclusively zombies, let along the others that you could classify as close, such as Earth, phknrocket1k (who is a JCP zombie), or FallenMorgan who doesn't really participate much at all, but whatever, I'll give that libertarian the benefit of the doubt though.

What can be said though, is that out of 22 total votes for the ARC candidate, at least ten of them are zombies. Nearly HALF of the ARC candidate votes in the Senate elections were zombies! Other candidates aren't innocent, of course. Badger had a couple zombies, Fritz had one, Afleitch had one, Barnes had one or two. But none of these candidates relied so heavily that quite literally 50% of their total support came from them!

And this is what will be the machine behind Xahar/NiK. This is what Hashemite, noted anti-zombie crusader, wanted to ally with. If any of you are to support Xahar/NiK, keep in mind the whole time who supports them.

Quite simply, the ARC is a troll movement. No other movement like that in my entire time in Atlasia has been so open and blatant about the fact that they are a troll movement causing trouble "for the lulz" than the ARC. That's why it's stunning why so many normal people would even consider giving it the time of day.

Duke was right about one thing, even though I've criticized him plenty of times in the past Atlasia is simply full of stupid people and children. Kids who will warm up to anyone who says two nice words about them and forget all about the past. No one in Atlasia has more than a 48 hour memory, and it's frustrating beyond all belief.

Xahar/NiK is a ticket based on the idea of winning by any means necessary. It is a fake unity ticket, relying heavily on troll and zombie support. Xahar wants to win so much, Xahar wants power so much, that he made a deal with the devil to have a shot. I look forward to how the race shapes up, and I encourage the honorable DA members to continue to rebel against the ticket that epitomizes all that is wrong with Atlasian elections, and I hope Xahar shows some policies as time goes on so he doesn't look like someone who's completely power hungry. But at this point? I'm not encouraged.

And please, for the love of God, don't be sweet-talked.

This rant is awesome!

Wow, Vepres, you just lost all my respect for you...

Nothing personal, I just don't particularly like Hamilton

Nor do I.

     Xahar was the greatest thing since sliced bread until you found out he was in contact with Hamilton (something I thought was already common knowledge), eh?
