Join the new world

Apparently, the photobucket with all the UKRP images is buggered, so have a picture of a stag do instead.
Ladies and Gentlemen of UKRP, even those of you who have pretended to have left- you’re not fooling anybody, I have the best news ever for you. As the official representative of the Royal Army Dental Corps within UKRP I come bearing glad tidings, for on the 15th of June, I will be standing in the PP elections. Yes, I have decided to intervene and with the backing of my gracious allies, The Dentists, am running on a simple platform: Pretty Terrifically Overwhelming.

Now, y’see amigos, you all seem to be a wee bit grumpy past few days, some of you have even pulled up sticks and I can’t let that happen. If too many people leave the .private channel, it will turn into an lovefest between me and Robalbinio and we can’t have that happen to yet another channel dammit

If the stone’s a-thumpin’, you can bet we’re.... well, you can figure out the rest

So I’m stepping in to show you all how it’s done. I guess you want some policies though, or something boring like that. If you don’t like them ...

...and you should vote for me anyway!

Numéro de police une: Recently, a rather well known gent by the name of Henry Pfeiffer Arundel has come and joined us from eUSA. “Great!” I say, because he actually isn’t even that terrible a person after you chat to him, and it’s nice to meet people with egos as big as mine. Unfortunately, he goes by the name of ‘Pfeiffer’ usually which is a bit of an issue for two reasons. Firstly, there’s negative connotations associated with it, secondly it’s definitely more Amerifag than Britfag, To solve this issue, a blanket ban in all UKRP media will be issued, and the alternate name of ‘Harry’ (colloquial form of Henry) will be used.

Politik Nummer zwei: Oh man, recruitment? That stuff is boooooring. I’ve never been about the size of the party, the quality of the people is way better. I’ve always loved the high involvement of UKRP members in government roles and stuff like that. Because of this, and the fact that I’ll be working two jobs and studying, I won’t be bothering with recruitment or anything like that. I shall instead just keep pestering Harry until he gives in and does it for me.

Polisi rhif tri: Congress is lame, but it’s a cool springboard I guess. To that end, I’ll be placing an experienced UKRP member top of the list, provided they can be vetted by a high ranking DC’er. After that, a bunch of people who could use the gold and want to get involved can go be looked after. I hate being in congress, personally, but I do like the idea of having power so all candidates, no matter the party, must be complacent in becoming extensions of my will.

عدد سياسة الأربعة: Communication is easy, just do what you like. I’ll round up some minions of messaging around elections and stuff like that but I’m not gonna’ force people to do stuff they don’t like. Drop in on irc (#ukrp/#ukrp.private) or on the forums at some point, send me an ingame PM, do what you like, I’m not fussed. I might do an article at some point, but I am very lazy and may just pay somebody to do it for me.

Политика на номер пет: Relations with other parties? Is this seriously what we’re including in manifestos now? Pffft, anyway, I won’t be doing anything about this. If we wanted to be such good friends with them then we’d join them... anyway, not much I can do about this, but I promise to look stern and astonished at any bashing of parties in articles that include our logo. I know, I know, I take a great burden on myself in this, but that’s how much I care.

So there we go, my Pretty Terrifically Overwhelmingly good policies all laid out for you, what else could you need?
”But, Butjam! Why are you running in an election with a manifesto that means you can’t possibly win? And why have you revealed to the rest of the nation that we’re having a rough time internally???”
I hear you cry. Well, first of all I’m not too fussed about people knowing there’s been some bickering, because it’s mountains out of molehills and this incredibly attractive, witty and intelligent bunch needs to have a weakness somewhere, I’m all for fair game. As to why I’m running when I all I really have is a cozy 3rd/4th/5th/6th/7th spot waiting for me? Because it’s actually really fun! Yeah, I’m gonna’ lose, and I bet I get several comments telling me I’m ruining the game for other people blah blah blah.... but if the rest of you would take a quick gander and see how much fun I’m having, perhaps you’ll realise why UKRP is my home and all the excellent times we’ve got waiting for us in the future of a pretty sweet party.

Remember UKRP:

And for those of you about to claim I’m a bad person for what I’m doing, keep in min😛


Butjam out, love you all eUK ❤
