Friends, Fellow Gippers, and Lurkers, I bid you a fine hello! Now my opponent, Two Finger, fought a good fight and went down swinging. I congratulate him on a good race and for sticking to his values even after the outcome was announced. For now we must move forward and Make GiP Great Again! To that end, a series of directives will be issued by the executive during February. Check back often, because these directives may change or be superseded, and they affect YOU!

Directive 1

February is hereby Give Cole a Break Month. It is my belief that Cole (TBeats) is generally a good guy with a good taste in pets, and gets quite a bit of poo poo. So give the poor guy a break and engage his posts in a friendly way. You can even compliment him! Violators may find themselves unable to post. Of course, this all depends on Cole's attitude. If Cole's posting is aggressively bad (and judged to be so by a metric that is both majorly subjective and internally inconsistent) or he abuses Give Cole a Break Month, he'll be the one in trouble!

Directive 2

In an effort to make GiP great again, we need to focus on internal security. From now on a policy of extreme vetting will be applied to the GiP Catte thread. This is NOT a ban on any particular type of pet. It is a temporary measure to exclude any pets deemed to be dangerous, overly toothy, loud, or historically enemies of cattes. Failure to take this into consideration when posting in the catte thread will result in extreme vetting, the consequences of which are entirely the fault of the poster. Subject to temporary restraining order.

Directive 3
No protesting in this thread.

Directive 4
In an effort to promote cultural sensitivity and make foreigners feel more welcome here, we inviterequire them to engage is practices native to their homelands. We will first be celebrating New Zealand by requiring Two Finger to deliver each post in the form of a Haka. We truly enjoy the spirit of patriotism here, so if the Haka isn't very sincere or heart swelling the writer may be given extra time to revise it.

Directive 5
This Sunday Only
All Superbowl Posts Must Be
In Form Of Haiku

Directive 6

ALL HAIL YOUR NEW GOD. ENEMIES OF THE STATE AND THOSE GUILTY OF THOUGHTCRIME WILL BE PUNISHED WITH THE SHAME CUBE.



Directive 7
Friday, February 17th, 2017, is declared as "No Trump Day". Talk about the Trump family, Trump politics, Trump supporters and protesters, and anything else Trumpy (broadly construed) is banned and will be punished accordingly. This shall be a 24 hour ban lasting from 12:00:00 AM EST to 11:59:59 EST.

I really had no opinion on Cole but now I must by definintion hate him. Cole could post a cure cancer and I would still protest.

What are your three directives EBB asks him

Directive 1

February is hereby Give Cole a Break Month. It is my belief that Cole (TBeats) is generally a good guy with a good taste in pets, and gets quite a bit of poo poo. So give the poor guy a break and engage his posts in a friendly way. You can even compliment him! Violators may find themselves unable to post. Of course, this all depends on Cole's attitude.

Directive 2

In an effort to make GiP great again, we need to focus on internal security. From now on a policy of extreme vetting will be applied to the GiP Catte thread. This is NOT a ban on any particular type of pet. It is a temporary measure to exclude any pets deemed to be dangerous, overly toothy, loud, or historically enemies of cattes. Failure to take this into consideration when posting in the catte thread will result in extreme vetting, the consequences of which are entirely the fault of the poster. Subject to temporary restraining order.

Directive 3
No protesting in this thread.
