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

Someone tell me how to run or how to vote for a Notable, anyway, Id either pick someone like Ssxpro, or I dunno yet I will probably vote for a regular that always posts something worth reading or is witty in his writing!

Arnt we just supposed to vote for the most interesting 'character' ?
Er yes hello my name is "just arrived today" and I am voting for.... um the game..... my reason oh he is the only person who seems to be left on the site so he is my obvious choice.
The current Notables can be likened to the current Labour Party, they have not done enough in the time they have been in! And as Notables, first time visitors to the forums will look to them, and if these 'Newbies' or 'Just Arrived''s perceive the current Notables behaviour as standard they might be scared off or reluctant to join in the conversations, all this is a definite blow to the commmunity we all cherish so much!
As a notable I would try, and evidendly succeed, in raising the standard for Notables and make the name mean something. And too keep up, the current Notables and even Notable wannabes for the next election would have to raise the standard of their posts, spelling, grammar and the impression they give! Thus making the FOG and whole SR network of subsites a much better place!
So, vote 'The Game' this election...

That's all very well and good, but notables have no extra power and are in no way better than the average regular on the street. So why vote for someone who thinks that notables are anything other than regulars with a different text colour?
Vote Gronti, if you don't your conscience will never shut up (and more importantly, neither will I).

Well, friend...
As a notable I would have much more of an effect in the forums than the current 'Jokeables' and I believe that mixing with the crowd is very important element of creating a better atmosphere. So unlike SNIPER, FM, and, at times a couple of other 'Jokeables' I, as a 'NOTEABLE', would be here often, and you can reach me on MSN Messenger on [email protected] or ICQ on 66404341 if you need any help with any topics or threads you wish to start.
I will be here almost everyday to help and encourage all the Newbies and even the newer Regulars into the Special Reserve community....
