Challenge Accepted
Nosyt
Typically when it comes to games, I relish a challenge. If there is a difficulty option available, I usually set them as high as possible, even if it means losing over and over until I get good enough. I believe it was Ayeshan Dakseus who challenged me to turn ~hyuu~ into an erep meme, most of you see how far I’ve come with that. So with that in mind, keep in mind that what I’ve done is probably somewhat a tad silly, but I have my reasons.
If I were playing a typical video game, I’d consider this election to be between easy and a moderate level. Nicholas Boyce has informed me that I managed to win EPIC’s primary (no surprise, but I’m thankful nevertheless), so with that I’m on the ballot. But the truth is EPIC today is similar to the DAL of yesterday; being that the party carries much influence with the two clicking masses of eCanada. My father once told me that our riding would send a Donkey to Parliament if he ran with the Liberals, and I can’t help but feel that there’s a parallel between my MP and eCanada’s CP, but I'd like to believe that isn't true.
I don’t want to win that way, I'd much rather earn the position, not have it served to me on a silver platter. Now perhaps I’m over-estimating the influence of the EPIC brand, and it’s possible that this hubris will be my downfall, but like I mentioned, I need a challenge, and if it costs me the election I can live with that. So here’s where the stupidity comes into play, and I give myself a real challenge.
Under the current scenario, I’ve made getting onto the ballot itself an interesting task. First by creating a lulz party for myself to run under

But that’s not enough, as there are only 5 candidates allowed on the ballot, and this party needs 5 more members in order to be large enough to secure my own candidacy. With less than two hours before the candidates become locked in, this means I’ll need to put on quite the recruitment campaign. Even if I do manage to get on the ballot, I’d be running without the official support of any established party. I’d say it’s fair to assume that my easy-moderate level just went up to very difficult. Should I fail I deeply apologize to all those who supported me, and I hope you understand, but as the article title says:

Release your inner-donkey. Join CPF and prove your manly Moose.
That is all.
oh, and Rylde just messed his drawers.
Unfortunately it appears as though your PP has gone to sleep, and I'd rather not leave this to chance 😉
Nah that was just hangover gas.
Is the 2nd really the cut-off? Why we running things so tight?
Funky has to sleep...manipulating the quantum universe takes its toll on the poor lad.

Why did sweeta support Christian Doe?
I don't like surprises, or people who don't read my tenets.
The bursary idea I mentioned in Randall's article, (and to be mentioned in my next article as well) comes out of those tenets actually 😛😛 That PM I sent you was in hopes that you were still around, since you appeared offline I disregarded the idea completely.
George, originally Sweeta tried to give me the EPIC endorsement anyways, and since you can't remove an endorsement once it's given I asked her to move it over to CD who was on the ballot with The Fellowship's endorsement. If she'd endorsed just anybody it would've added another candidate to the list making my little stunt a little more difficult to accomplish.
stop messing about
No sarsdroz these guys turning this election into a circus is who u trust remember. You support these kind of antics when you vote for them.

See, I thought people were complaining that Nosyt's candidacy with EPIC made it unfair for other hard-working CP candidates who just needed at fair shot in the election.
Nosyt gives Rylde a fair shot (and then some) and now it's called a circus. I'm not sure what can be done to make some people happy.
huehuehue~
huehuehue.
Plugson- While I like Nosyt, and in most cases I'd be supporting him in a CP bid, I don't think it's how Noyst set up his CP bid, I think it's how long it took him to toss his hat into the ring..
Yes setting up a party and having people move over to gain enough support for the average eRep citizen would be tough, in eCan even that wasn't that hard for Nosyt..
Had he expressed interest in the CP job BEFORE it looked like Rylde was going to walk into the job unopposed, then I could support him
I just think all this is being set up as such because people are afraid to give Rylde the job...... so let's bring in an Epic ringer......
Noyst would do a great job as CP..... but running only to oust Rylde isn't the right reason.....
I'll support the man who went into the fight not knowing if he stood a chance before I support the guy who only entered the fight because he knew he couldn't lose........
No offence Nosyt........
