IngSoc, by the way, is by no means dead.

Why did the CUP fall apart in the first place?

I really have no idea. I left for a little while and by the time I came back I had found the the Constitutional Union Party had fallen apart and I was a man without a party.

Just the way things are in fantasyland really. No halfway democratic party lasts all that long.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

It's interesting that you refer to the party I ran as being halfway democratic.  Would've expected much worse.

I was being polite

So true. So sad.

Welcome aboard!

How many people take the time to actually read a platform of a party?

That's not exactly the issue. The point is that it ought to be out in public so that people can read it if they want to. This is a very basic part of the democratic process, and I for one am glad that the Reich Panzer Party is finally moving in that direction.

Bit of a blast from the past, that.

because he was an OMGChavistOMG.

Ah, yes. How things change.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Sigh.

When people take games like this too seriously it tends to ruin the fun for everyone else - and "everyone else" probably continues to constitute a majority of active posters here.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Hello. I'd like to sign up. What are the regulations - do I need a certain number of posts?

I'd also like to join whatever party Earl Andrew is in, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what party that actually is.

Lastly, what'd be a good state for a newbie to take?

Earl is in the greatest official party in all fantasyland - the LNF (Leipist National Front). And I gather that all the newbies are moving to Ohio these days (lol). But - seriously - register wherever you feel most comfortable (though, if you want to run for non-federal official, not in any Southeastern state, obviously).

Welcome aboard the party of the future!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Hoorah for the future!

To the Future! Where we do what we want!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

so um... what do I do now? lol

You commit suicide because you realize that you joined a joke party.

No, he's not a member of the RPP.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I want to join but I'm not sure what party I belong in. Except the Jesus Christ Party doesn't seem right for me.

Join the LNF

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Hamilton is as bad as Phil. Seriously, can you two take this elsewhere so we don't clutter up this thread?

Wait! Was Phil still here when Hamilton started posting? CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!!1111111111

No. Wait. I hear that Bakersfield smells of cows and their bodily functions. So presumably no one would ever actually move there.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Welcome! And Welcome!

No, you don't want to do that. Join the LNF.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Is there a reason why we make a big deal every time a person switches their party?

I don't know. We didn't really used to - or at least not to this sort of level.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

What's the process for starting your own party, something I may or may not do.

There isn't one, really. All you need to do is register under the name of your party. Of course if you do that that no one will join you - to get that to happen you need to publically declare that you've set up a new party, post a platform and so on.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

As an example of what's wrong with the fantasyland party system at the moment, it'd be hard to find better examples than this latest case. I don't think it's fair to blame Kalwejt, though.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Not convinced that insantly accusing every new poster of being a zombie is all that helpful.

Not that I'm trying to be rude, but, that's exactly what DWTL said. So I guess it's only defensible when the LNF does it.

So we must consider every new poster a "zombie" or we're hypocrites? Besides, the issue with Fluffy (and Hamilton, of course) was the recruiting of large numbers of people in places where their votes would help the RPP-PCP the most - people who, for the most part, have tended to have had no involvement in fantasyland other than voting party line RPP-JCP come election. Paranoia in those cases was the result of experience and was (and is) justified.
I've never been a much of a fan of recruiting people from offsite (which is why I've never done it), btw, but I think that would be a seperate complaint from "zombie alert!!!!!".

As far as the general issue of LNF members supporting or doing anything, the LNF's structure is so decentralised that there's little in the way of collective responsibility - which, btw, also means that there can be little in the way of collective blame.
