Telling it like it is. Angrily.

A deal with the devil.
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!

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

Nothing personal, I just don't particularly like Hamilton

Well I had respect for both of you until you decided to sign on to Marokai's meanspirited, insulting, and dishonest vitriol.

Funny, didn't Marokai endorse the ARC candidate for the MIdwest Gubernatorial race? LOL.
Is Vepres trying to get votes?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

It's so refreshing to see the myself and RPP out of the news when talking about zombie voting! I think Torie was the only one person accused of being a zombie on my list, and I hold him in very high regard.

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

A lot of Badger's voters were zombies, but you couldn't care less.

Name three.

Ogre Mage, CultureKing, and realisticidealist.

So Marokai is now exposed as a colossal hypocrite as well. His own party is the night of the living dead.

Sadly none of those three are zombies. I actually expected NiK to point out the two actual zombies that voted for Badger, Kyle and Mart. Beyond that, there's really none, as they're either active/established members of the forum at large or former office-holders with a long history.

Hypocrisy in action.

I think I've made my point. I don't care if you were President at some point a long time ago, you've done nothing recently yet still vote despite not being active in a group of people who are trying to change the system every day.

[Marokai Backbeat]

I also kind of just hated Phil.

My hypocrisy? Badger got two zombies, Mint got about 10, at least. Afleitch also got a zombie, Barnes got one or two. The occasional zombie vote or two is an occupational hazard of running for office. Getting half of your support off of them is a calculated campaign decision.

[Sewer]

I got no zombie votes.

You lie.

[Franzl]

And now I come online and see this bulls**t yet again.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

And now I come online and see this bulls**t yet again.

They usually don't stop till something explodes. Just sit back, get a can of nice German beer you have access to, and watch from the sidelines for the action.

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

And now I come online and see this bulls**t yet again.

Ask Marokai why he chose to start this bullsh**t in the first place.

[Franzl]

Yeah I expected that would come soon....I'm going to take Yankee's advice...and just be quiet now with my German beer. (Prost!)

[Hash]

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.

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.

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.

Yes, NiK, but you must understand that once you make one important mistake, it is unforgivable in the eyes of Marokai and it allows him to brand you whatever label he wants.

Really people, cut the bullsh**t in this game. It's unhealthy. The past is the past, anyway.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I think I will put this in my sig. Might come in handy latter, you know.

[afleitch]

Really people, cut the bullsh**t in this game. It's unhealthy. The past is the past, anyway.

It is a game at the end of the day but it's almost impossiuble to play. In the past I would have PMed people and asked them to consider preferencing me. This time I PMed no one, less PMing people to vote be seen as some sort of 'devilish recruitment'

I beleive I laid out the demarkation, between 'devilish recruitment' and just pming someone to ask for a preference, a few days ago. I shall need to dig it up though.
