GVTU: Griffin Vile Tactics University (SEATS ARE LIMITED - SIGN UP NOW)

[Adam Griffin]

Being removed from the game for many months, I haven't heard about much. What little I have heard is all about scandals, scandals, scandals!

As much as Griff loves a good scandal, witch-hunt or public opinion trial, I personally find the attempts at such as of late to be very lacking. It really seems like we're going for quantity over quality here. Seriously, they seem lamer than at any point in my 6 years of being a part of Fantasyland.

As such, I have decided that it is time to pass down the knowledge of generations instilled within me and make it available to the masses.

Introducing Griffin Vile Tactics University

The purpose of GVTU will be to instruct students on the basics of effective scheming, trickery, manipulation, public shaming and demagoguery - all in the name of seizing the high ground and achieving victory.

I will do my best to provide one lesson per week to all enrolled students on a variety of subjects relating to the above-mentioned subjects.

GVTU will accept all students, regardless of beliefs or background, but to join our classes (which initially will be provided via PM only; delayed release for others) and receive personal instruction, you must sign-up publicly in this thread.

Sincerely,

Dean of Admissions and Everything

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I was expecting this to be about a scandal involving ol' Griffin defrauding a university.

Sounds like a good opportunity to be aware of some political tactics used from an expert and get a university education at a good price.

Due to a hostile takeover, the university has been renamed "Griffin Vile Tactics University".

At what point in the curriculum is the section about your party getting annexed by something that started as a DTC joke that used the name of a party Lumine was in?

At what point in the curriculum is the section about your party getting annexed by something that started as a DTC joke that used the name of a party Lumine was in?

History lessons will be in chronological order, so that section comes after we study your loss of the presidential race to me among an electorate that was basically two-thirds conservative - arguably the biggest electoral flop in presidential politics!

Course Summary:

To some extent, Griffin was in many ways elected as a War time President because he was viewed, not as the guy you want a beer with, but the guy you would go to a bar fight with.

The problem was he was more like Churchill than FDR because the first two of those four Labor terms were basically held by the equivalent of Neville Chamberlain. And the Labor President before that was basically James Buchanan. Labor should count their blessings in a lot of ways, because while Federalists also came back from armeggedon last year, Labor fully earned its deluge last year, while Federalist situation was merely the result of self-inflicted wounds and the machinations of others. Adam Griffin's toughness, popularity and legendary electoral skills allowed him to win twice with a vastly conservative electorate, and thus keep Labor as a key player and rebuild its bench. And the game is much better off that such is the case. Because out of that mess, god knows who would have replaced them if they collapsed and thus possibly taken the game with them.

Don't forget the election you defeated Simfan by pushing people to vote for Deus Naturae!

Don't forget the election you defeated Simfan by pushing people to vote for Deus Naturae!

And by 1 vote (in both 2nd and 3rd rounds) with strategic preferences! Oh, that was a fun election...so was the one that came the month before, but alas...

BREAKING NEWS: Former President Leinad has given GVTU his seal of approval:

Anyway, was it partisan? YES. That's not a bad thing, it's a POLITICAL GAME, we are supposed to be partisan. **** this notion that being "non-partisan" is somehow more noble or whatever. Alliance and PUP are leeches who suck the fun out of the game. I want TNF and old Adam back--give me an ideological contrast, not just moderate hero ************ and then pestering me about how "corrupt" I am.

And back I am!

[Blair]

Will there be a section about the February 2016 Primary? I enjoy shuddering at my own demise.

After receiving multiple inquiries as to when classes for GVTU will begin. Everybody who has formally signed up has been sent a PM: if you thought you signed up but didn't receive a PM this morning, then please sign your name in this thread.

Also, after some deliberations (mainly influenced by the awful PM restrictions that exist), I have decided that I will be limiting this course to 20 Atlasians. I currently have 10 signed up, which means only 10 more slots remain. If you're interested, then now's the time to commit!
