Hello everyone! We're only 3 months from holding the presidential elections of the forums. So, this is why I'm releasing the fixtures and other important information for this election.

You should not have a past record of being a troll (Or any bad activity).
You should be an active member who at least logins once in a week.

RULES FOR CANDIDATES AND COALITIONS

You will have to accept the mandate of the election without causing a revolt, if you try to ignite a revolt, then you will be banned from participating again.
Do not force people to vote for you, if found guilty of doing so, then you will face a ban.
Be respectful, don't insult other candidates.

** Candidate registration will take place in this thread itself.

CAMPAIGNING

Candidates can start campaigning from 20th August and the final day of campaigning will be 30th September.
A separate thread for campaigning will be made by 20th of August. Candidates can campaign there itself and lay down their policies and plans for the future of the forums.
Candidates can campaign on people's walls and on other popular threads (Like the OBCR), the official thread for campaigning, would be the one made by me.
Once again, don't be a menace and avoid spamming.
Derogatory way of campaigning would be punished.

POLLING/VOTING

[size=10]Polling will start on 2nd October and will end on 7th October. [/size]
[size=10]A separate thread will be created where the polling will occur. We won't use any sites for voting (To avoid rigging)[/size]
[size=10]Format for voting would be issued soon. [/size]

RULES:

Your first vote is your final vote, once you have voted, your vote CAN'T be changed under any circumstances.
Do not delete or edit the post through which you voted, if done so, then your vote won't be counted and would be declared illegitimate. (Candidates are expected to encourage their voters to comply by these rules)
You need to be a member of the forums for at least 3 months to vote (As of 30th September).
You should not have a record of being a troll.
Once the voting period ends, you can't vote.

I'll add more details and make a post regarding all the rules.

@Carking the 6th @Claudio NVKP @Talvisota @Zaktty @NEPTUNE the great @stardragon225 @Lady Aragosta @K.Rokossovski

I've just pinged some people so that this thread gets some attention in the currently dead forums. Perhaps, the elections can bring some life back into the forums.

On so Claudio is not and wasn’t the president, he was pretty quickly overthrown. That being said I will wait to see who runs…

Go back to your hole. Keep believing that. For context: Carking is the leader of the revolution against the Claudio. We are democratic here.

I want to start off my campaign with the following:
Free speech will be allowed on the forum.Hate speech will be banned and not Ban speech that are hated.Meaning if someone points out something that are historically correct without trying to indiscriminate or hurt someone,it will be allowed, regardless if someone doesn't like it.We are not the same,we will have different opinions and every opinion must be welcomed.
Political and Religious propaganda shall not be tolerated.This forum have different types of people, everyone shall be accommodated.The forum does not belong to one political and one religious group only.Any form of supremacy shall be dealt with severely.Most of all,any war crime and genocide doesn't matter which side of the political sphere shall not be promoted or praised.All the people on the forum is part of an ethnic group that had relatives that died in some camp and genocide somewhere in the past or present.
The past shall not be associated or connected to the present.If someone for example feels that all current German/Russian members must be blamed or answer for things done in the past,it will not be tolerated.
I myself have made it clear in a thread that I am not a fan of Communism but it doesn't mean that I look down on the members that are Communist supporters and neither will I "stay on your case and try to make your life miserable".
We can have mature discussions without trying to hurt each other.
Yes the forum is actually meant for the game but since there is an Off Topic section it will be used to go off from the game and be used for things that has nothing to do with the game.There won't always be game issues so to have off topic discussions will be good.
General discussions section is for general issues regarding the game.

I won't run for President myself. I'm a retired member pretty much...

But if I were elected, I would limit Off Topic articles to max 1000 characters (to prevent the thing I just quoted).

You might say "but sir, Vanrendo is running for President, he has to elaborate with a longer text to explain his policy" no I don't agree. If he's printing this much paper now, imagine how much bureaucracy he will create in 4 years.

As President, I would change Forum Rules to "Anyone who behaves in any way similar to @Comrade genz will be banned." This is a simple rule that covers all the relevant offences and everyone understands it, without the need for long, detailed chat rules. I would minimize bureaucracy in this manner in the Chat too.

I would say the main program to attract voters is to prevent the election of Claudio&Vanrendo who are creating bureaucracy and spreading misinformation about bacon sandwich.

If you have above 10k manpower, you're not investing properly. A good player never has many resources.
Larger armies destroy enemies faster without taking damage from them.
Build only: 1 military building in each city, airstrips, and recruiting stations to boost manpower.
Minimize research, 2 unit types early, 6 types in late game. Upgrade old units, but: artillery lv1 to lv2 is a waste, only lv1 to lv4 is worth it.
Enjoy

Welcome back, Hornetkeeper. (You'd be shocked to know that genz came back and started trolling again.)

The bacon sandwich is true though. Talvisota hasn't denied it. He ate a bacon sandwich in a very disgusting way. We didnt create any complicated messages. It's simple....

Talvisota is behaving like a long-oppressed minority though. Turning friendly and laughing to ease the topic of his own inferiority and suffering (when you put him down). You seem to be marginalizing him, maybe he just has different preferred sandwich-eating manners. You can't just mock it as "very disgusting" when it's his preferred way.

But no, don't describe how exactly he did it please. We can't just leak such things to the public. It's criminally relevant to investigate what kind of oppression is happening here.

Yes I saw him and he was even more funny than usual. That's why I used his example, he's more um... well-rounded now

Talvisota is far from a long oppressed minority, if you really look into the forums.

Nothing can defend this abomination though:

I kindly asked you not to explain/elaborate on it, and I hoped you wouldn't post a picture! If I were elected President, I would make you pay $1 in reparations to every forum member who has scrolled thru this post (by accident) and has suffered mild emotional damage.

What is banana bacon sandwich? Can you eat it? For the purposes of keeping this chatter going, I'm not sure about it

Little Claudia believes he had power! You never were democratic, your dictatorship fell to a revolt after a few days. It was glorious.
