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

If you convince him he has freedom and does not have to do what I say, then how will he be my zombie!

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.

Well you have already shown that its only defensible when the JCP does it, so I agree Marokai. Tongue

I don't recruit them, that's all I can say. Tongue I know that those who do in the JCP only recruit them in the states they live in, they don't tell them to post, etc. Zombies exist, yes, but my party's done it pretty by the book.

But like I said, I don't recruit much, and certainly not those with the bare minimum.

He was defending it.

Look, I'm not trying to be an ass to anyone here, but it always seems like everyone pretends to be innocent until they get a recruit and then they make some flimsy excuse to defend him. The same thing happened when Hamilton, who several LNF members sparred with beforehand, suddenly joined the LNF, then he suddenly stops being a lying manipulative powermonger, and turns into a model citizen.

If another member with posts in the single-digits joined the JCP or the PCP/RPP everyone would be up in arms bitching at us for recruiting zombies.

Perhaps

But you especially have gotten to know me over the last little bit.

Does anyone here really think that I would have anyone willing to be my zombie Tongue

I can't say if Rubyug will play for a long period of time, or where he'll end up. I don't even know how old he is, or what his politics are, for all I know he's right-wing!

You can toss accusations, but I can respond. That does not irk me, nor does anyone anyone said in debates. What did irk me was the inference that implied that I was dishonest, and had a second account (sock puppet)

Which leads me back to my original point about crushing you - I don't want anything here to irk me personally, because I have enough stresses in my life, I don't need to add Atlasia to the list; thusly I approach the game in my own unique way.

Dead on. But that is the treatment I've come to expect around here. Anyone with a low post count, whether zombie or not, is heavily scrutinized by everyone if they join the PCP and, to a lesser extent, the JCP. I'm surprised Hamilton hasn't started recruiting for the NLF, but I will not be surprised to see them defend his practices, after, only a few weeks ago, attacking the PCP for the same thing.

That might be the treatment at this time, but should it be? does it have to be?

I propose reforming the system. The reform would be that you just don't call someone a zombie, at least, not in this thread.

I'll be the first to sign up for that.

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.

That don't stop certain people.

Though I suppose the same is true for other parties as well. Though of course everyone knows who's meant and who isn't. Most of the time.

<laugh> Funny. Don't get discouraged from the less than warm welcome here: Keep a sense of humor like that and you'll do just fine.

Welcome (er, in a few dozen more posts, that is). ;-)
