Grrrrrrrrrrrrrreetings, FOG-ers!

There is a lot of ‘buzz’ surrounding this next election and but some of you seem to think it’s a little one sided. Well, I don’t think so, and this is why I am running for Notable!

"You’re Joking!" You might say... "Look at the competition"

Well, who is the competition?!

"Er-No...?"

What in the name EIDOS is an Er-No?!

Do you really think that this topic-flooding, fast-connection boasting, know-it-all-wannabe will benefit the FOG in anyway?! I say NO... he has flooded before and he'll flood again, Er-No is just after a title and he doesn't contribute well enough to SR...

So he posts a lot in the FOG but a lot of it is nonsense and he abuses Newbies... "So what!" You might say but do you realise that these Newbies are the future of SR? They will represent Special Reserve in years to come...

Ask some Newbies... I respect Newbies and in turn get the same respect back, just ask Bonus... when he was a Newbie... Quazimodo, or Time_Warp when he was. They are all great people. I am not just after a title, I care about the future of Special Reserve, and I want to see people who come during my time here and when I’ve gone, enjoy it as much as I do.

With Er-No as a representative and someone to look up to, they will feel uncomfortable and leave or maybe worse, stay and lower the standards in the Forums! Er-No isn't fit to be a Notable. He might come out with a joke or two, but who doesn't! And look, Er-No has contributed a mere 1 cheat to UKcheats and a mere 8 reviews to UKreviews... compared to my 25 Reviews and 40 cheats I think that, for a would-be Notable his totals are pretty lame. So the next time you need a cheat the chances are it will be from me rather than from Er-No! And I am not just 100% Nintendo, I like and respect the company as one might their country, but I don’t let this get in the way of providing Special Reserve with information regarding other consoles… Just recently I won Gameaday for donating MULTIPLE Playstation 2 and Dreamcast cheats. I also have posted PRO-Microsoft topics to liven the FOG community and indirectly welcome any followers of the X-Box or ‘fans’ of Microsoft.

Do I think Er-No is a suitable representative and worthy of the title Notable?! In a word... No!

There is no-one here I dislike... You're all an inspiration to me, and for me to continue to post the quality material I do, being a Notable would definitely help me along. Look at the number of cheats and reviews I have written for the benefit of Special Reserve!

Also, I don't show any bias against games companies that are competing against Nintendo... You have witnessed Er-No's bias towards Microsoft and the X-Box respectively. To owners of the X-Box who want to mix into the FOG community, having Er-No as a Notable and representative would only deter them and take another brick from the foundation of Special Reserve's future.

I am not just all talk, I have befriended many people in the FOG and you, yes you, reading this, are probably one of them. I can converse with Newbies, Regulars and Notables alike, my posts are good, I don’t use net-speak and I am all for promoting Special Reserve and the Future of Gaming as much as possible. It’s simple friends. Without me, some of you might not still be here. I have befriended you and stuck up for you. Now I need your backing. Please.

One Election. One Date. One Name

Vote ‘The Game’, this Election!

Thank You.

er-no, I didn't say what he was doing was right, just making a comparison with polititians. I don't think he should have told any lies or belittled anyone to try and get the votes.

And you're still on my list!

Have I missed something here? What is the point in having a 'notable'? What possible use could such a person have?
Its not as if there is any hard and important decisions to be made about anything important. Come on, all it really means is that...well, nothing really!

I have changed my mind. I am definately voting for Gronti V he is the only person that seems interesting out of all the "3" lol, people running for notable status. Oh and I would just love to be in gold text wouldn't you? It just shows your power.

pb. Would you be happy if someone started a topic in both FOG's spreading lies about you to all users?

Or perhaps he's just trying to emulate a 'proper' polititian, who seem to do the same thing in their bid to get to the top of the heap by treading on each other.

I don't know, and frankly I don't care, there will be another election in 3 months and another Notable elected, if it hasn't all been scrapped by then of course.

I'm happy if people vote for me and will be pleased to get any votes at all, but I won't lose sleep over it if I don't get elected.

The Game is shallow for making a topic about voting for him, in both forums and using lies about me to promote himself!

Perhaps that's what they mean by The Games Afoot?
