Campaign Trail by SNORLAX

August 30th, 2007 11:41 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Run for SFZero senatorial office. Lay out your platform. Engage in vicious mudslinging against your opponents and reveal secrets from their sordid past. Curry political favors from the powerful SFZero Players' Union. Take promo photographs of you kissing babies and shaking hands with community leaders.

If you receive 25 votes on this task you will be elected and sworn in. You will receive a senatorial badge (). You may then select a congressional committee and subcommitte (e.g. Ways and Means:Oversight, Appropriations:Select Intelligence Oversight Panel, etc.) and pass pork barrel legislation to benefit members of your group. The committee and subcommittee you select should reflect your character's personal goals within SFZero and your methodology for achieving those goals.

VICTORY!!!


Thank you all for your support! Rest assured that the campaign will never be over. The inaugural bus stop party was a success. I'll post what little video I have of that soon.

I would especially like to thank yellowbear and Ladybug. Without them, I could never have run for senate.

Platform:

My platform is simple. I wish to promote awesome tasking and hijinks. I will do this through example as well as instigation if possible. I have organized a few awesome tasks that have made the city a more interesting place and helped in many more. A vote will egg me on and more awesome tasks and bust stop raves will ensue!

CAMPAIGN DIARY


DAY 2 - 8/31/07

Since the beginning of my campaign yesterday, much has happened. I posted a photo from one of my previous ventures into politics. I seem to have gotten into a duel with the communist terrorist, Burn Unit. And today marks the commencement of a shameful advertising campaign.


DAY 5 - 9/3/07

The weekend is over. And what a great weekend it was. We had one last bonfire at doorhenge and I got to meet a lot of great people. I got some great new music toys. Burning man comes to an end. And my "office arms race" duel with Burn Unit is over. Campaigning will resume shortly.


DAY 7 - 9/5/07

Tonight I went to Emperor Norton's grave with Lank to pay my respects. He is a San Francisco legend. He was also an important political figure as I soon hope to be. I offered him one of my owls, a precious momento of a task I did that will never see the light of praxis.

DAY 9 - 9/7/07

The duel with Burn Unit comes to an end with a strong victory. As promised I will be doing another bus stop rave, which will take place on Friday, September 21. Here's the poorly edited footage from one earlier this year.

That, sir, is more than I can bear! You lob derision at my proofs! You paint me as a terrorist sympathizer and defame my mustache! You imply my colleagues in the senate are drunkards and lunatics--well, that picture of p00n isn't really defamation-- but you have gone too far. You smear proof comments with animals copulating. You have defamed my family, an innocent child!

Consider this your notice

"I am qualified! I am bonified!!"


was that an intentional double entendre sf0 style

between bona fide, four syllables, meaning good faith,

and bonified, three, meaning got boned or ready to bone?

So, what's the etiquette here?
posted by Loki on September 1st, 2007 9:17 PM

Do we vote for him just because he's completed so many awesome tasks?

Or, do we hold out in order to try to force him to entertain us while completing *this* task?

As much as I like Lowteck and admire what he's done here (not to mention the weight I place upon Frank Chu's endorsement and the use of kissing Trills in campaign literature), I'm leaning toward the later.

Besides, what do we really know about this guy?

What's his stance on calendar reform? On Eucalyptus tree repatriation? On the hipster question?

Is he willing to eschew donations from big oil? Cock fighting leagues? Extraterrestrial governments?

Why hasn't he denied rumors that he masterminds an international bestial porn ring?

What about China?

vis a vis mudslinging...

As for me, I cannot deny the rampant alcoholism that took over my life in the beginning of my SF0 career, but I am happy to say that after trading one addiction for another, I am a much more productive, stable feline. But, I do think it a bit low of lowtech to bring up my past in this manner, as after all, it was at one of his famous "bestiality porn parties" that I first met the man. (In my defense, however, as a cat I do believe a little bestiality is to be expected.) If I remember correctly, the alcohol was flowing freely that night and he and Sir Bigglesworth were both enjoying themselves immensely (if you know what I mean ;) )
But anyway, enough reminescing!

I've never voted for a winning candidate before, except for a hand full of local positions. (Fare well, Mr. McGoldrick.)

But, Lowteck is an awesome tasker, and since he's already made it into the senate, there's no longer any chance at wringing further awesomeness from him on this task, so I might as well throw in my support.

I feel like such a sell out.

Have you no sense of decency, sirrah?

You mock the noble False Moustache.

And you besmirch the honor of a lady.


Yours is the luxury of a fine sherbet served to you on your private yacht, like some manner of Bruce Wayne. Enjoy this while you can.

ok it's not paranoia if it's real: every time I see Frank Chu the man is multiplying his galaxies! wtf? aren't there supposed to be 12 galaxies??

today when i got off the subway his sign said 600,000 (hundred thousand)... above it says 985,000..... and in the other photo it has a number ending in 2. is it a 12?? or 456,912?

how many goddamn signs does this man have?

Also I have never heard Frank Chu the man speak before, his elocution is astonishing. I need to hang out more often at 12 galaxies.

Lowteck, in the video you posted, I still don't get it. Are the 1000 galaxies guiltied as well? Bill Clinton is enslaving the one galaxy - or are there 12 galaxy overlords? This is tough stuff. Is there an horizontal Abottian sociology to the galaxies, like the 12 oppressing the 1000 or the 985,000 subservient to the 12,000? And, we can presume, the 100 or the 12 cannot even see through to the dimensions of the larger galaxies?

I feel like he is a frequent topic around here, and his presence is everywhere in the city! (At least everywhere I seem to go) For those that have not had the pleasure of meeting him in person, i would bet you honey pots that he will be at the bluegrass festival this weekend. It's free and the music is ridiculously amazing, plus Frank Chu sighting with 90% certainty.
