FAILURE TO VOTE FOR EBB WILL RESULT IN A 100,000 HOUR PROBATION On February 28th, EBB's tenure as Idiot King of GIP will end. In order to have a peaceful, orderly and democratic transfer of power, we must begin the election season soon. What's the plan? First, it's time to think about political parties, starting with EBB's establishment party, which he may influence. Maybe it's the Party of Shame Cubing (or maybe that's one of his party platform topics?). (On that note, I will arbitrarily decree that there are no term limits for IKs, but that they must wait a number of IK terms (months) equal to the number they have served before serving again. So if you have been IK once, you must take one month off. Two IK stints = two months off, and so on. At some point this means nobody will be able to be IK, since we are a dead gay internet forum with a declining population. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.) Anyways, suggestions for other political parties: The Dog Thread, The Army Megathread, the Nuclear War Party, the Katy Perry Party, etc. How many parties, then? I don't care what we decide on, but one party must be the establishment. There will be one other party, for a total of two, and to decide this, I will take into account good posts in this thread calling for a party's creation & agenda, and other posters' support. I will try to be fair in deciding this. Keep all of these discussions within this thread, please. What's after the political parties? Okay, once we have our two parties, we have to have primaries! We'll worry about that when we get there, but it will probably involve the creation of two poll threads. And then? Finally, we will have the general election between our two parties' candidates. Of course, independents and write-ins are welcome (HCT, I'm looking at you) and totally valid. Good luck. Thread / Event Rules: GIP-tier chaos and zany posting is encouraged, but please refrain from all-out shitposting. Do not make extra threads concerning this event. Schedule 2/15 - 2/20: political party formation, debate, empty rhetoric, etc. 2/20: political parties officially named, formed. 2/21-2/23: primary season. 2/24-2/27: general election. 2/28: lame duck shenanigans by EBB, pardons, etc. Edits/clarifications: -joat mon now's your time to shine! -anyone can join a party (but only one party), but if a bunch of non-regulars join one specific party it will probably harm your image -losers of the primary and general elections have to make concessions speeches or get probated Somebody fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Feb 15, 2017 |

I posit that a true outsider party must be created, the United Lurkers Party. Members must have less than 10 total posts in GiP, must not be immediately recognizable by name/avatar, thread creation is an instant DQ as is participation in secret santa. The establishment party is the Sadbrain Bloc. It's an interservice coalition of barely-functional depressers, autismos, and alcoholics. Membership will be determined by number of posts in the various drunk threads. Time Crisis Actor fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Feb 15, 2017 |

I'm announcing my loyalty to the Katy Perry Party If we achieve third party status I propose we caucus with the dogge thread or whoever is most ideologically aligned with the dogge thread. Edit: Sadbrains Bloc is definitely the establishment party

My Fellow Gippers, what a ride it has been. After being robbed of a day by admin delays and recounts I took power at the helm of the Sadbrain Bloc. In these past two weeks I have have GiP great again with tighter borders, better treatment of Cole, an anti-Patriot stance, and stricter punishments for anime lovers and criminal elements. I look forward to a lively round of primaries filled with debate that will in no way be stifled by visits to the Shame Cube*. One more month! *all hail Shame Cube and His Divine and Unquestionable Judgement

Man I'm just a broke brain idiot who joined the army I don't know anything more than GiP memes about how I'm dead inside. If I was original and funny I would have gone to college and had a meaningful career. Besides, this recent election has shown us what the people really want is memes and populist pandering to the lowest common denominator. HAIL SS-18 SATAN.
