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.

All you need to do, is make a thread in PRIME or CHATTER and tell people why you'd make a good Notable etc.

It is mainly about peoples opinion of you as a poster and a person. All Regulars are in the running, some are campaigning, some are not!

Just make a post! and then...

...Vote 'The Game' this election...

Everybody is a candidate if they are a Regular, you're free to choose whoever you want as a Notable. The topic is on FOG Chatter, started by Tony. Just read that and it should give you all the information you need (or at least, all the information we currently have!)

Remember friends that the Labour party has had 4 years of a political term while the Tories destroyed the country in a line of 5 year bouts. Just because the election is called a year early does not mean Labour will not have delivered all promises they made for the 5 year term at the last election by next year (if they get in) and do we really want to risk going back to what we know wont work? The Tories say that they will give benefit to the country but we can already see the benefits that are possible under Labour starting to grow. Remember that the Tories stand for more money for the rich and will cut the highest rate taxes, anyone who pays the highest rate tax will be earning enough to keep themselves going so they don't need less tax. Do we really want to surrender our public services so that the richest people can sit on bigger piles of money? Do the rich really want to take the benefits of the less fortunate and use the money to line their own pockets with unnecessary loose change? Is it not a better idea, my friends, to vote for a party who gives choice in the form of a referendum on the Euro and considering all the economic effects joining it would have than voting for a party who believe the public are so stupid that they cannot choose for themselves, are easily fooled by "loaded questions" and need to be dictated to rather than given the freedom to choose? Would you really want a regime where people who can only afford to survive because of benefits have them striped from them and are forced to pay for all the healthcare they need? And of course the poorer you are the more chance you will need healthcare.

So vote Labour at the next election, and then vote Gronti because you will be getting a party that cares and a notable that sees the truth.

Not really, the original brief was that you should vote for someone who makes FOG what it is and contributes to the general ambience of FOG.
