The People's Party (The People's Thread)

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

One of the things we need to do is update our Wiki, or actually make one. I used to have access to the Wiki years ago, but Dave apparently revoked my access or something.

[Talleyrand]

I will help out. I got access a few weeks ago.

[Simfan34]

I am having trouble finding a decent hotel to stay in the Buffalo area. Any help, lads?

[Cincinnatus]

We actually have one, though, it's just thrown together.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

"It has by laws" - I like that.

And Simfan, I'll be staying at the beer hall. They have rooms, and it's closer to Franzl's magic garden where we will of course hold our after parties.

[Oakvale]

This is exceedingly minor, but have we given any thought to a logo?

My instinct would be for something simple, bold and utilitarian, like this rough mock-up I made in Paint -

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Yes. I like simple. The Party needs no flashy logo.

I also expect we should make a color official at the convention since it is unofficially pink at the moment.

I am also going to introduce an amended bylaw that limits our endorsements to one candidate per office outside of our official candidates.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Is this too minimalistic? I just did this on Photoshop quickly. And are we wanting to go with purple as our color?

I modeled it after Oakvale's. I like the idea that TPP be modeled like an element, as it is The People who are the essential element of Atlasia, like oxygen is the essential element to life on earth. That's pretty deep stuff, am I right?

Excellent choice

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

Also, your brackets are mismatched. -_-

[Adam Griffin]

Purple? What happened to lovely pink? Now I'm going to have to get a new can of body paint for Duke.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Purple? What happened to lovely pink? Now I'm going to have to get a new can of body paint for Duke.

The pink was merely our media given color. If we ultimately decide on pink, then so be it, but The People have the right to choose their own color to represent Their party.

Since Oakvale used purple, I figure I would roll with it. I like it. But the final say is up to The People, of course.

Greetings fellow People

[Talleyrand]

Greetings fellow People

Greetings and welcome back! I'm so excited to meet a longtime citizen such as yourself, being a newer member.

On another note, we have our first Midwestern member.

[fezzyfestoon]

Hot damn, trailblazing my way back to Atlasia. Take that lesser parties/regions. I can tell by your name that we'll get along just fine.

[Talleyrand]

Hot damn, trailblazing my way back to Atlasia. Take that lesser parties/regions. I can tell by your name that we'll get along just fine.

I think we will too.

Also, regarding the three logos before us, I prefer Oakvale's by far. I don't think we should go for something too extravagant, but A Person and Duke's creations are too austere for my taste.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

This is a great day for The Party. Fezzy has been an advocate for freedom since he joined this wretched place so many years ago. Now that are united once again, the sun will rise in Atlasia. Long live The People.

[Franzl]

Hot damn, trailblazing my way back to Atlasia. Take that lesser parties/regions. I can tell by your name that we'll get along just fine.

I'm sure you'll be a true hero of The People, Fezzy. Proud to have you.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I support Oakvale's suggestion...

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Suggestion of making an official logo or his logo itself? Either way, we can vote on a bunch of them at the upcoming convention.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Quick rundown of some of the things we need to do during the convention:

1. Decide on a logo
2. Decide on an official color, even if we want to go with pink, we need to make it official
3. Amend the bylaws to limit the number of endorsements we hand out per office
4. Speeches - open the floor to those seeking our endorsement and then for our own candidates who are running
5. Official endorsements

If The People so wish to do anything else, obviously, they will be free to do as much. As with all things, this is merely a blueprint. The People cannot be held in check by a rigid agenda.

[Oakvale]

I will continue to advocate for a regal purple.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I will continue to advocate for a regal purple.

That's fine. I prefer regal purple to pink. I also had a request for green and a different logo, which I promised to work on.

The Convention will begin February 8, 2013, and run through February 17, 2013. That should give us plenty of time to accomplish what we need to accomplish. The Presidential and class B senate elections begin the 15th and run till the 17th.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

For TexanDem (Tallyrand):



Critiquing is obviously welcomed. I was unsure about the overall colors of our name. I originally had it one color, and I do think I like it better that way.

Also, here is another remake of TPP logo with regal purple and the words in the letter, if we like that style.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Or if we like gold letters, just let me know and I will make as many copies as I need:
