Campaign Trail by GYØ Ben, Tøm
November 7th, 2007 6:06 AMYou know you want to re-elect me into the Senate.
Who brought you the wonderful SFØ Podcast? I did.
Who brought more and more of the community together via Skype? I did.
Who's going to go the extra mile? I will.
I'll keep you posted. I consider 25 extra votes a success here - this praxis currently has 30.
Thanks for looking.

May I add that the person adding the above comment is, in fact, the opposition, and would say that purely because he enjoys libeling his opponents, proving him a hypocrite.
*Thinks some people should look up libel*
Hmm mustn't take his too seriously.
See? A cat macro!! Im bloody hillarious.
Your campaign is missing a vital part.
An 80's style montage (montaaage)
For using so much disturbing sexual imagery and topics in a praxis, i here by award you the following image:
Oh, and a vote. I also award you a vote.
I'm sure I want to vote for Ben, but first I need to see the montage.
Ben has best video, but Adam has better write up, I might just vote for both :P
As long as one of us gets into Senate.
My video isn't too bad, Neil and I have something in the pipeline as we speak, involving Great Yarmouth, video and Saturday.
Crrrrryptic!
This campaign seems almost entirely devoid ..... of.... a platform. Mainly just propaganda.
How much of the taskpayers money have you wasted on such rubbish? Was it all funded with private donations?
My vote is nearly decided, but I may reconsider.... broccoli production being the most important question this season.
Actually your position on strike tags, and html tags in general, is commendable. Consider me that much closer to voting.
p.s. when does this campaign end?
The only money spent on the slander was a phone call to the press (after 6pm of course, so it was free) and the price of a kazoo to disguise our voice.
The rest, was out of our hands.
New stances are being added all the time by the way, and what do the people want from broccoli?
A vote for Ben Forbes is a vote for Equivalenz, besides which, the Watmuff certainly does have a posse.
However, I would like to encourage you to take a stance against broccoli.
He has taken your views on broccoli into account, and adjusted his stances appropriately.
the people love broccoli:
broccoli is full of vitamins, and therefore good for life.
furthermore, it rhymes with spicoli, which is good for surf.
are you pro- or anti-spicoli?
there is presently a filibuster of senators against` and for broccoli in SF. your stance could make a difference.
Views have been taken into account and stances altered accordingly.
What's your stance on calendar reform?
What about Eucalyptus Tree repatriation. (Okay, perhaps that one isn't funny in the UK. Trust me, people around here laugh at it. Really, they do.)
Are you pro or anti mutant kitten?
What's your opinion of the coming robot revolution? The recurring zombie threat?
And, what about China?
We appreciate your comments and questions, here are your responses from Camp Forbes.
Calender reform may be an option in the foreseeable future. I'm sure we've all wished for a 3 day weekend, 4 month Christmas, longer summers and winter when there is actually snow. You can be assured that any proposed change to the calender will be in the public eye, and well debated before implementation.
Mr. Forbes is highly supportive of mutant kittens, but not evil mutant kittens. Genetic modification is an important part of scientific research, but limits must be observed. Such limits include the creation of hordes of evil mutant kittens. So for those in favor of a kitteny Armageddon may do well to vote elsewhere.
Regarding the robot revolution, all I can reveal is that FRBS2000 backs his group Equivalenz in all they seek to achieve.
Recurring zombie threats are viewed with a sense of satisfaction. Mr. Forbes likes running outside brandishing a shotgun and a shovel as much as the next person.
As for China, Mr. Forbes is open to public suggestion.
What is your stance on place names such as "Scare Gap" and "Euro Centre Industrial Estate"? Do you plan on introducing policies to encourage the creative/foreboding naming of future locals?
The "Scare Gap" sounds like a Hallowe'en clothing store, and I support that wholeheartedly.
The "Euro Centre Industrial Estate", however, is confusing for many reasons. It provides the listener with the false intention that this place is in Europe.
Good Lord. Good Lord indeed.
No senatorial stuffs for me. Bah, oh well - thanks for your votes, good citizens :)
Thank you all for your benevolence.
I will not let you down, community!
About bloody time he was senator. Congratulations Ben.
Congratulations Senator! I'm glad there is now a British voice to protect you islanders from the aggressive policies of Senator Eleanor the Most.
Why thank you, kind sirs.
I shall strive to maintain strong intercontinental bonds.
I shall make the senate proud!
fuck! i voted because i sf0-searched "broccoli trees" and came upon this page. i assumed you were actually in favor of eucalyptus eradication/repatriation. bollocks!!
"the people love broccoli:
broccoli is full of vitamins, and therefore good for life."
But-but... you were so in favour of broccoli before!
And broccoli makes you better again with it's wonderful minerals.
Ok, that felt wrong, here's a quote from uncyclopedia to balance it out: "Note all orifices, including the mouth, are fair game, as are all foreign objects, including broccoli, and therefore forcing kids to eat that crap legally constitutes rape. Are you listening mum?"
wait.... i said that? someone's gone and put werds in me mouth...
[edit]
i did say that...
well, it was definitely ricky ricardo's fault. likely i was smoking kind.
[edit again]
the proof is in the pudding. it is utterly clear that typographical/grammatical/editorial mistakes (such as useless/gratuitous apostrophizing) do not find their way into my tasking or commenting. therefore, the above comment referenced by the honorable mr. forbes was undeniably composed by an individual other than myself whilst they sat at my workstation. period. interrobang.
Where is it when you need it, eh‽
Updates have been made. Follow this praxis, I will keep a campaign diary. Perhaps consider using Spidere's SFØ Monitor?
This isn't a campaign.
It's a page of arselicking and libel.
If I wanted a page of arselicking and libel I would have Googled The Daily Mail.
