Could someone, very simply, explain what the whole election drama is? Preferably @K.Rokossovski because I trust you but also @Claudio NVKP because you seem to be the centre of the chaos and maybe someone from the so-called "establishment". (what is that btw?)
Several users made disparaging comments about Romania and certain groups of people from there
None of these users have received sanctions from Bytro
@vonlettowvorbeck later claimed that these arguments were invalidated because the posters are the same race as Romanians (i.e. all humans are one race)
Anti-Romanian comments continued to be posted by several users
4. January Forum Elections
Stemmed from controversy regarding favorite forum user poll
Claudio's faction (MaFGA) claims without proof that elections are "taffudged" (rigged) and that no elections are necessary, therefore attempting to undermine the integrity of the election
Debate then evolves into racial argument and dehumanizing remarks from the MaFGA side
5. Resources Reforged debates
Several polls were conducted by forum users to determine the popularity of the Resources Reforged update, or whether they wanted it to be removed
About 90% of forum users agreed that the update should be removed, but some support it, most notably @Bandersnatch
@vonlettowvorbeck criticizes Bandersnatch and others who support the update, and later makes remarks about these player's experience and "love of war bonds"
Many users are also frustrated about what they see as Bytro refusing to listen to player feedback.

I should probably add as a footnote that @'vonlettowvorbeck''s account got banned about a week ago due to multiple rulebreaks; he made an alt account @'p.von.lettow-vorbeck' which just got banned yesterday.

Lol Sherman, she didn't ask you nothing.
I'll sum things up:
i) I made the routine Forum election thread in July, however, due to inactivity, that election never happened.
So, we had an election in Mid-Jan, where Claudio (The MAfGA movement's head) won the election 9-6. Tafftya conceded and everything went normally for a week.
ii) Then came the Gen-Z trio, consisting off Bandersnatch, General James, Sherman and they demanded new elections because James slept during the real one. Ever since then, these guys are rioting. They also made dehumanizing comments towards Vonlettowrovceck, calling him a Nazi because of his name.

nothing serious... just having fun. although some don't get it.
Freedom and Democracy, that's what is happening! We stood up to the establishment and I, won a second term in a LANDSLIDE! But the deepstate fakers and the forum establishment wants to DESTROY democracy, but I'm in your way! Fight! Fight! Fight! And We Will Make the Forums Great Again!

I would also like to add, I have a party with the sole purpose of reversing the RRS update
Do YOU want COW to be more complex and tactical? Are YOU tired of updates that just add another P2W aspect of the game? Are you TIRED of the AUTHORITARIAN Mafga? Then YOU should VOTE the Improvement Party, which seeks to 'Improve' Call of War, and promote FREE and FAIR elections. VOTE for the Improvement Party! VOTE for a better future!

Ok and what are the forum establishment and what is Mafga? And honestly Vonlettowrovceck probably should have been banned.
