TUP Pride
Longbaugh
I just wanted to say that I think it's funny how The Unity Party so often likes to posture itself as a party of unity. They salivate at the idea of publicizing the idea that they're "above the fray" of party politics—and the inevitable political division it causes amongst the people.
Yet, how many members of The Unity Party brandish their party's logo in their own avatars?
Our own Prime Minister bandies about his party's logo. Why should anyone care unless the motive is anything other than letting your fellow countrymen know that your party comes before your country? And, better yet... what purpose does it serve for our elected leader to consistently remind everyone what party he is from? The UK didn't elect a party (granted, TUP members did)... it elected a person.
It gets particularly annoying when I have to write about them... as I can't refer to them as "the TUP." I have to refer to them as "TUP"... because they're THE Unity Party. But, they aren't the unity party. They're the party of intricately-parsed strategies intended to politically divide us through an air of intellectual superiority. In other words: "We're just better... so pay no mind to those who denounce us. They're worse."
It's a political strategy of a most-neanderthalic visage. Of course, as any TUP bigwig will tell you (in private, of course) such strategies are only intended to attract the most neanderthalic citizens. After all... you don't need any sort of wisdom to cast a vote, or to chain a shout, or to spend an hour mass-PM'ing via Google Docs.
The soul of The Unity Party is found in controlling the ambitions, intellect, and world view of its members. Squelching the British population for an endless amount of more members is simply the means to that party's end. Did I mention that as of this publication the official TUP newspaper has 666 subscribers? I'd provide a link if I wasn't absolutely sure that at least one member would unsubscribe just to make me look like a liar.
I see that Iain Keers has been writing more lately. I wonder if that's because he's being primed for a run at Prime Minister? I guess we'll find out when he runs, eh?
Now, watch as 10 of the first 15 comments are from TUP members... and they're all filled with pissed and venom.
Comments
Does that sheep have balls?
Sry, I was just looking at the pictures. I'll try and think of something shitty to say in a bit 😃
I insist.
It's not as if the Union jack is bigger than TUP logo or anything...
longbaaaaaaaaaaaw
Also, don't write a troll article and expect not to be trolled. longbaaaaaaaaaaaaaw
Do you really beleive all that, or are you just bored?
You didn't answer my question about the sheep.
This is p insulting. Also, the fact you'll get a lot of TUP comments is because a high majority of active citizens are TUP members, very few people waste their time trawling through articles to find anti-TUP articles and then post them in an anti-TUP article thread on the forums.
I think the vast majority of TUP members have army avatars, because (at least for me) I put my country before my party; but am devout to both.
Its odd that you say TUP is full of mindless sheep, yet the majority are either following army orders (by having the UK army avatar) or their own individual citizen avatar. Doesn't it seem... a tad... counter intuitive to make such a point?
Worst troll ever lol. Are you saying the CPs avatar should be decided by you? Lol he can have w/e he wants for an avatar XD

Totally
I'm a soldier (a small one)not a polotician.
I'm a TUP bigwig and I will not tell you (in private, of course) such strategies are only intended to attract the most neanderthalic citizens.
And by bigwig I don't just mean old players, everyone with good ideas and willingness can succeed within TUP, it's a party for everyone.
tbf I don't think TUP ever pretend they're above the fray of party politics. If that's the game they want to play, so be it.
longbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaw certainly is long. Mindless trolling much?
Love you Longbaugh.
you didn't get enough cuddles from mummy troll when you were little.
Is that ok?
I was trying to get the right level of piss to venom.
Guys, don't feed the troll. Give him a dummy to stop his repeated baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw.
I think if you piss on venmom it counter acts it though.
liek a jelly fish sting or something...
@ Iain Keers
Criticism isn't about dictation, it's about criticism. You're not that dumb Iain... quit pretending to be.
@ jamesw
You won't deny that you had the TUP logo in your avatar just before you won the CP elections. That makes you better than most TUP PM's in my book.
With that said, I didn't mention army avatars because of two reasons:
1. No army can be successful without prideful and obedient members.
2. I also changed my avatar to suit army orders when I was an active member of the SAS (before I was a congressman and couldn't move to fight).
I didn't mention the military because this is an article about politics. TUP does nothing but taint the political waters. You... surely know this... more than most. Even though I've come around to you, james, you know what I'm talking about.
I' dont think I want to be one tbh.
I like it in the army 😃
and stop avoiding the sheep question.
*sigh* back to elementary trolling lessons for you then.
@ Joachim
Maybe you should click on the first link.
@ S7eve
The sheep has balls unless it has a pussy. Answered?
@ IndieKid & Skills88
I've always found it curious how people will resort to calling an article "trolling" when it's both domestic AND making a point. There's no "lolcat" pictures in this article. Did you see that?
Keep it coming fellas.
Such a stupid point longbaugh. As if what you have in your avatar makes any difference. Stop overanalysing. Your point about The TUP just shows how pathetic a troll this really is.
Your argument about squelching intellect amuses me... what exactly have you contributed to the UK intellectually again? Other than moaning troll articles?
Longbaugh: I haven't changed my in game avatar for.. 6 months? It was the same before, during, and after my term as PM.
Also, I know more than most? Politics in general is a dialectic affair; so I'm not sure how you can blame one party for everything; the very fact there is political argument means there has to be two sides to it.
nah not really, got 20 mins b4 I have to go out and I was kinda hoping for some more lols 🙁
can you have more pictures next time pls.
Maybe something more outrageously funny.
It did kill 10 mins though.. ty Longbaugh
@ jamesw
The very fact that I'm openly criticizing TUP and being met with a wildly-antagonistic response that I haven't seen since I openly criticized the IUP a year ago is, frankly, as good as it gets.
This isn't a trolling article. I make arguable points and certain TUP'ers resort to labeling it as a trolling attempt because they simply aren't capable of presenting anything but asinine retorts.
You're the only one who's capable of doing otherwise. And, I think that's sad.
For the record... I publish all of my trolling articles in the United States. If it's published anywhere else, I'm not trolling. But, your colleagues are of course free to say otherwise.
Iain Keers on IRC: "Nobody wants to be in your sucky party."
MORE!
I'm a SUV that needs 15 gallons. You guys are pathetically only feeding me about 6.
I must say that it's a good thing the new module doesn't cut off the link at the first 20 comments.
Right, let's address your points.
1) The PM can wear whatever avatar he likes.
2) The TUP- That's just you being fussy over grammar
3)We don't treat the population like idiots. Most of our schemes are there to help people who are new/less well off.
4) Mass PMing is done by people willing to put the effort in. If you receive a PM, at least you know that the party is interested in you.
5) The soul of TUP is helping all players, and making sure the right wing elite don't take power.
6) keers would be a better CP than you could even dream of being
It is kinda a trolling article though, every other article you write is about how much you hate TUP.
I liked the one you wrote b4, about the horns n that. That was good.
Can we have more of that pls?
Quite interesting that the avatar dig gets more reaction than the fact that he's called the majority of TUP members, stupid, ignorant, mindless sheep.
he does that every day though...
The easiest and lowest form of trolling is criticism of the trolling of others.
'Worst troll ever lol.'
'*sigh* back to elementary trolling lessons for you then.'
'Guys, don't feed the troll. Give him a dummy to stop his repeated baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw.'
Not going to comment further or I'll push this post into delicious irony, but you get the idea.
>__>
Maybe I should start making my own avatars
He started it 🙁
I bet my eDad could beat up your eDad
Your argument seems to be:
1.CP has TUP in his avatar OH NOES
2.TUP means The Unity Party
3.durrr hurrr
@ Iain
How many other CP's have their party logo in their avatar, you angry hippie?
Oh, and... just for the record... ARE YOU going to run for CP anytime soon?
What a badly written troll article. Perhaps concentrate on following the HoC legislation instead so that we don't get 1000gbp minimum wage proposals.
@ Dan Moir
You can't complain about a "troll" article with the logic that more attention should be paid to lulz articles submitted at the end of the session.
Though, I guess if you're TUP you can type "fartz" and get props.
It's the TUP...
Btw, you guys aren't voting. One would figure you would just vote as a matter of impulse (I did after all include "TUP" in the title).
C'mon now!
No,your articles are awful and not deserving of votes. Not even the right are bothering to vote your articles.

(sorry but it just seemed perfect for here)
Im one of the nine who voted :0
SUCCESSFUL TROLL IS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL
i think we conclude your article is shit
>"The easiest and lowest form of trolling is criticism of the trolling of others."
>"What a badly written troll article."
>"i think we conclude your article is shit"
Again, I'll say nothing more or else irony will happen. But come on guys, carrying on AFTER I'd already made my point?
more entertaining than IRC atm so might aswell.....
Excellent article Longbaugh, shame the usual top end TUP members are the only ones commenting, Somethings never change.
They must not of told the rest of the paaaarty to come on a leave a comment
I got put in the "top end" bracket 😃 \o/
Today is a good day for me
It was a very brave move to make an article and attract the TUP attack dogs, Longbaugh; you have my condolences for the continuing trolling that will manifest itself both in game and on the forums 😛.
lol? A Tup is a male sheep, it's not difficult. But who cares about avatars anyway? You may have noticed that we're not a party who bases everything on appearances.
Rather than worrying about our avatars maybe you should be trying to help your party avoid being overtaken by the SDP.
I just don't get the point of this article. I don't write an article unless I have a point and there is no real point to this article.
1. TUP logo in avatar: and?
2. TUP as an abbreviation for The Unity Party: and?
3. We PM people: and?
I think Longbaaw just wanted some attention, and it kinda brought us together abit as a party.
So win win for everyone \o/
(top end for today)
