Title: Election Time: Time to vote me into office.
Post by: Khushrenada on May 04, 2007, 08:25:11 AM
Alright. Let's make this brief. As many of you are no doubt aware from all the media ho-ha-ing, I have been thinking about running for office here at NWR. I know this has made all other candidates nervous over my possible entry into the ring. Well, I'm here today to tell you that THEY CAN START SWEATING!

I'm in it to win it, Baby! Let's let the good time roll!

It seems lately that there is a lot of problems with NWR and do you think the current candidates are going to do anything to facilitate real change? I don't think so.

We need someone who can ask the hard questions! We need someone who can push all the right buttons! Someone who isn't afraid to look at the problems of this board and confront them. We need someone to actually review a game, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. In short, we need ME!

Obviously, this is going to be a short election since none of the other candidates can come close to matching a quarter of my skills and intellect. However, I also know that many of you will want to do what you can while this election process goes on for a little while to try and get in my good books. I approve of sucking-up. So, for those of you who want to be on the winning side, just put in your signiture the following message:

Vote for Khushrenada. A vote for Khushrenada is like Chuck Norris losing a fight. It just doesn't happen.

Now some of my supporters may be confused by this slogan. Don't be. I've done this to counter my attackers smear campaign. We all know they'll take what I've said and try to make it sound the opposite. So, by making my slogan one that is insulting, they will take it and make it into one that is praising me. Like I said, my intellect is way ahead of these people. So, I'll have the backing of my supporters and my attackers will be on my side also.

Well, I said I'd keep this short so I'll now field some questions. Yes, you there.

Here we go, the hard questions first. That's fine, unlike my oppenents, I enjoy talking about these issues.

My approach to Sonic is different from most people considering I've never played any of the Genesis games. The only 2-D games of Sonic were on the Game Gear that a friend of mine owned. I have bought the Sonic Adventure DX game and unlocked all the Sonic Game Gear games on it. However, I haven't played many of them through to the end. I have been meaning to pick up the Sonic Mega Collection and Sonic Gems to get all those 2-D games but have never gotten around to it yet. There's always been something else for me to buy.

So, my main exposure of Sonic came from the TV cartoons and comic books published by Archie comics. That is where I get my view of Sonic. The first Sonic game I ever played through and also owned was Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. So, to me, I'm more of an expert on Sonic's 3-D games than his 2-D games and can not comment to much on his history. So, that is the unique view I could bring forth with regards to Sonic.

I'm sorry. Maybe you were expecting a comical answer. Let me try this to appease you this way. Sonic is the least of our worries. We should really be focusing on the "Shadow" issue. We need to get that stuff off the streets. It's harming our children. It was voted Best Platformer in the 2005 NP Choice Awards. What? Donkey Kong Jungle Beat lost to that? We need some common sense again. We need me.

You don't have to like him, you just have to know him to understand what I'm saying.


Actually, if you can think of other slogans, I'd be glad to hear them. I'm always hiring and welcome new supporters from all quarters.


However, if you are just trying to get the attacks started early, slow down. You'll have plenty of time to be negative in the coming days ahread. But for now, this is a Q & A session and that wasn't a question. You do know what a question is right? Look! I just demonstrated one. It's amazing the things you have to explain to some people.

It's interesting you would bring this up since I just got this lovely card in the mail the other day. I'll just share it with you:


Congratulations on your promotion.

Before you go...
Would you like to take this knife out of my back?
You'll probably need it again.

signed Hiroshi Yamauchi.


So, this got me thinking that maybe I have been too aggressive with some people. I guess part of the problem is that I listened to much to the song "Dogs" by Pink Floyd. It inspired me. So did the game Diplomacy. And, well, I am Khushrenada. Still, I'm reminiscing and not answering the question.

It's a strange question also considering I have never killed you Bill nor can I ever recall voting for you once.

I think my backstabbing antics are also over-rated. When I am in a mafia, I am loyal to that mafia and work my heart out to see it succeed. I never betray anyone on my mafia, With all my godfather's no matter who was in charge, I gave them my advice and opinion's and let them make their own choices based on that. If they chose to listen, great. If they didn't listen, fine. I trust them to make the right calls and they often do.

So basically, when I join NWR, it will be like joining that mafia and I will work hard to see it succeed but not at the sake of backstabbing my fellow mafia mates, or in this case, work mates. Look through the Mafia threads. My actions shown this to be true.

Thanks for the question. Yes, the bear with the party hat.

Ah yes. My famous anime appearence. So many things I said on that have been twisted out of proportion. Part of it is due to the translator's skill. I also said, "I want to be a loser." That didn't mean I want to be a reject. Someone who never wins. Heck, I'm working to win this election right now. My quotes have been taken out of context.

First of all, I was never working towards a world of constant warfare. I think a common misconception is when I took over the position of World Soverign and once again amassed a great military to lead to battle against the White Fang. Of course, it just looked bad because I took over from the pacifist girl Relena. But, she wasn't going to fight and the Earth was in danger. And I love the Earth.

Do I want to see constant war? No. I was never working towards that and that should be evident from some of the actions I took. Noteably, challenging Zechs to a duel to prevent war and sacrificing myself to see that there would be peace.

Do I think warfare is a noble and necessary part of the human condition? Yes but only compared to the alternative which is when wars are fought by the push of a button. That is why I opposed the Mobile Doll movement. Wars will not end unless people experience them because it is from this experience and the emotions battle can elicit that will cause them to rise up and end wars.

Still, this is a broad and philosophical arguement over something that really needs a no answer to. I don't think it is even going to apply much to this campaign.

Next question, please.

Over here!

Helen Thomas, Nintendo Press Corp.

Three questions:

1. Where do you stand on the Super Swing Golf score? How would you have handled the aftermath?
2. How long until a moderator bans you for stirring up too much trouble?
3. Do you endorse Nathan Petrelli for president?
Title: RE:Election Time: Time to vote me into office.
Post by: Khushrenada on May 04, 2007, 10:51:22 AM
Hi Helen, still hiding behind that mask?

#1

Alright. First off, the score for Super Swing Golf. I'm not going to defend or condemn what Pryo gave the game. It is interesting to note though that his score is the lowest on game rankings with only his being the "failing" score, if you will. All other scores are above 50% in their score. I also know some people pointed out either errors or what they percieved to be errors in the review. I personally didn't pay much attention to the thread because I felt things were handled wrong on all sides.

So, this gets me to your second part of the question. How would I have handled the aftermath? As noted, the score given is the lowest. So, if you are going to take a strong stand like that, BACK IT UP. Let me tell you, if I gave a score like that and people wanted to engage me in a "discussion" of it, I would make sure I was available and well prepared to back up my points and my opinion of the game. Part of the problem to that unfortunate fiasco was that Stan wasn't around to further explain himself to his critics. Now, I understand he has been going through some tough times and was also busy. That's part of why we never seem him around much.

But, I think he really needed to make himself available to those that kept asking questions about his review. And what we had instead was people arguing about things that didn't even pertain to the review. Why? Because the reviewer wasn't there to answer their questions and so people started focusing their rage on other things to prove their point, like questioning why NWR does reviews in general. At the same time, since Stan wasn't around, staff felt they better come to the aid of a fellow friend and stand up to him. Unfortunately, I don't know how many staff were in a qualified position to engage in a discussion of the game, so they focused on other points they were qualified to handle.

Let me also put it this way. Hostilites in that thread began before Cap America even posted. You'll notice on the first page of discussion, Ian Sane posted something and Smash Brother blasted him. I'd have stepped in right there and set the ground rules. Anybody can comment on the review. Everyone is as entitled to their opinion as I am. And if you are going to attack people because their opinions don't match yours, your discussion in this thread is over. You see, when people just start attacking other people and their opinions, it just causes a free-for-all where everyone starts attacking one another. Frankly, it just degenerates into what happened in that thread.


Long answer but it's a long problem.

#2

First of all, I launched my campaign in the funhouse, so I should have the backing of TY. He loves when news happens in his forum. Second, I've helped influence Trivia Podcasts, so I should have a bit of love from TYP. Third, Svevan can't ban people so I'm safe there. Fourth, I created a strong bond with Bloodworth, so by banning me, they'll tick off Gametrailers. The mods don't need that right now. They have enough problems with Deg vs. GoNintendo. Fifth, as far as I know. no one is actually pming the mods. And finally, if they ban me, it will just look bad because what it will prove me to be correct.

So, in about a week and a half.

#3

I only endorse myself or those from my party.

Alright. Hit me with another. Yes, you there.

See, that's why you keep the free hats you get in cases of Bud Light. That way, if you need a hat to throw, you've always got one on hand.

I see we are getting to the easy questions now. Any beast that is a man-eater should be destroyed. That's always been my policy.


Yes sir. You have a question?

Then I must congratulate you. Not many members of the media are like that. You are a master of your craft. If only more people followed your example instead of asking questions for their own self-serving means. Speaking of which:


Quote

Good, but what about foul hybrids of human and beast that threaten us with genetic corruption? What is your opinion on them?


Well, first. I'm against genetic corruption. That should be a given.

Second, I'm afraid that I don't have many dealings with beast/human hybrids. The only one I can think of off the top of my head was that man with gills in WaterWorld. I didn't like WaterWorld and I didn't care for Kevin Costner so going on that, I guess I'm against Human/Beast hybrids.

Any other questions?

Your fist answer made me happy. Your second answer has impressed me so much that if I am forced to pull out of the race, I will put my support fully behind you.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and elect me to join the staff of NWR.

I have a dream that we will hold these truths to be self-evident and that I will be your next great mod.




Also, if you are going to announce your candidacy, this is hardly the place.  Next question.

Do you have a particular forum software in mind? I'll admit my knowledge of different forum types is limited but of all the ones I've seen and been on, this seems to be the best that I have seen. Of course, I'm always interested in improving the quality of NWR and if there is a better forum out there to better suit the needs of NWR and its users, then I definitely think the option should be looked at.

TVMan also had this to say:

Personally, I'm not really in tune with it either, but I've heard a lot of complaints about FuseTalk. While it will serve, may people prefer other systems to it.

PhpBB is an open-source forum software, widely used and free. There's also VBulletin, which is not free but considered by many to be better then phpBB due to the ease of setup. Then there's this SMF thing that's based on phpBB but is much more moddable, and then there's all the others... Yeah, I was really hoping you knew more then me.

EDIT: Damn I took my foot and placed it firmly in my mouth. And Khush noticed it.

...Maybe I should withdraw...

I think you should. You've just given everyone the impression you can't win.

Don't feel so bad though. I predicted this long ago. I said that by making a negative campaign for myself would cause my competitors to make a positive campaign for me instead. And now you have. And as I mentioned and you have now pointed out, I have more intellect than my opponents.

I have not played many fighting games. I played quite a few with my SNES but nowadays, it is just usually Smash Bros. I actually do like fighting games. There's just something so wonderfully simplestic about them yet deeply complex. Nothing like a good chess match fight. But then, you can almost view any game where you are in direct combat with another player as a fighting game. And I relish a good fight.

Music games are different. It depends on what the music game is. Donkey Konga I enjoyed. Rythym Tengoku I would love to try. And I'm not to good at DDR. But something like Parappa the rapper doesn't interest me too much.

WoW. I don't own it but I have a couple friends who do own it and play it. They seem to enjoy it quite abit. Using the Pap64 logic, if my friends like it so should I. Plus, I do like its success. Nothing like success.

No, I am following the stance I have given on the Wii for now. To do otherwise would be hypocritical. Well, that and the fact that it lets me sleep at night.

Let's take a moment to reflect. In my campaign announcement, I said there were quite a few problems here at NWR. Bloodworth has now posted a message showing one of these problems.

I also stated that my opponents would be confused by my campaign and praise me instead. Sir_Stabbalot showed this to be true.

I was also asked if I would be banned. I posted the following:

To which Ty has replied:

This should be interesting. I hear someone submitted a question to the mailbag asking why I haven't been made staff. I wonder if Windyman will answer that question or will he dodge the issue? I can't wait for the mailbag tonight.

Just thought I'd warn my supporters to be ready for to march in protest if the current regime tries to suppress the facts. That Orange revolution will be nothing compared to the Oz revolution.

If we have an Animal Crossing Trading Post, why don't we have a Pokemon trading post? It would make things a lot easier for all these new people to know where to post their trading requests or requests for battle.

I know we'll still get the odd person posting trades in the DS thread but if need be, one can move the thread to the forum it belongs to instead of cluttering things up with a bunch of locked threads.

I still think we just need an online gaming talk thread not called Smack Talk, so that people don't think the forum is limited.  I think an entire forum for one game's online component is too much, even if it is Pokemon.  The Animal Crossing forum kind of shows that.  That way, you could check the forum, and see what people have to say about all the online games at once, as well as allowing people to comfortably make topics about all the games without fear of repercussion of any sort.

No.

I just follow Iwata's example.





In another news, can someone explain what the heck is going on? I was told there was some thread exposing Caliban in the funhouse. I couldn't find it. I asked Caliban about it. He thinks it got deleted. What happened? Where's my staff? You are supposed to be informing me about these matters.

No, that thread it still around. It's the "It really bothers me that people don't like Zelda" thread. First page.



Also, sorry for the disappointment. It appears that Windy can't bother to do the mailbag. So, now we may have to wait a whole week to see if he chooses to comment on the issue. Or maybe he never will in an effort to avoid the crisis that he knows is boiling here in the Fracture Zone. Who knows? I may have just killed the mailbag. What have I done? I must remember to use my power for good.

Khush, I'm just having fun with you overzealousness.  I know you were just trying to help the special poster out, and that he was just looking to get some sympathy trades.

I had a feeling WuTangTurtle was kidding around but I wasn't sure if you were. And I hope my reply didn't sound harsh or anything because I was smiling the whole time I was writing it. I also didn't want the mods to think I was creating more than my usual havoc and let them know that I was not reponsible for the thread. It's bad enough there's some Lady Une account out there, I didn't want them to think I was creating a whole bunch of dupe accounts.



In other news,

Windyman and I were eyeball to eyeball and I think he just blinked. Yes, Windyman has taken the path of avoidance since he has no idea how to handle this crisis. This crisis on infinite threads. He hopes that by avoiding it, it will all just go away. Well, he is wrong. It is time, my comrades. Time to march to victory. He can not withstand us if we stand united. I'll be standing by the Quizno's on the west side of town. I'm going to enjoy a Chicken Carbonara sub while I wait for the rest of you to show up. And then WE WILL MARCH!

I always prefer local restaurants to chain ones. One local restaurant I live near (Nino's Pizza) puts all other restaurant's subs to shame.

I don't think they will nominate a new moderator, the NWR forum has so little traffic that it's pointless.

Well, it's pretty simple, I'll just re-con this whole election story to leave out the parts that conflict and make it much more cohesive. As well, a major forum user or two will die. Maybe Caliban or thatguy. Then when I find out it created other problems and conflicts in the story appear once more, I'll do the whole thing over again. But this time, I'll follow it up with a thread that gets updated every week for a whole year or 52 Weeks. Yeah. This is going to be awesome.

Well, if I went down, it better have been in good style.  Then, since I'm planning on being revived, I'll have been a living martyr that never died, hopefully.

BREAKING NEWS!
Khushrenada Caught Soliciting Sexual Favors from Fellow Forum-Goers

In a recent talkback thread, forum mod candidate Khushrenada made lewd references to another forum member, possibly a minor.  It began with Khushrenada trying to ingratiate himself with his target with compliments and personal information.  The exchange culminated with the invitation, "They just can't stop loving me. Since you seem to be pretty handy with your fingers, maybe you'd like to join my party."  Nintendo World Wiiport will have more on this sordid tale as it becomes available.  Stay tuned.

Would you like to start?


No Khushrenada! That is not helping the situation. Let Sir_Stabbalot handle this one. This requires using the diplomacy part of diplomatic immunity, not the immunity. At least, not just yet. Ah, sweet, sweet immunity.

So what you are saying is that you like to manipulate your authoritative powers for your own benefit, and not for the greatness of the funhouse?

....Or glory to the HypnoToad?

Post by: Sir_Stabbalot on May 11, 2007, 04:34:16 PM
Uh, whoops. I was out watching Hot Fuzz (hilarious movie, by the way) when this scandal happened. Alright, my previous attempts at diplomacy always involved a pistol and a boot to the face, but I'll try...

First off, I must admit that I have not yet been able to locate such thread, and as such cannot confirm its existence yet. If located, I will update my response. Until then, this is a placeholder. Second, the quote you mentioned has been spun out of context. I will break it down as follows:

They just can't stop loving me.

This is quite simple. The word "love" does not always infer sexual relations. In this case, my leader was using Philia, one of the Greek terms for love. Aristotle describe Philia as love between "lifelong friends , cities with one another, political or business contacts, parents and children, fellow-voyagers and fellow-soldiers, members of the same religious society, or of the same dining club, or of the same tribe, a cobbler and the person who buys from him". You sir are guilty of spinning this out of control.

Since you seem to be pretty handy with your fingers, maybe you'd like to join my party.

This is an internet forum. We use fingers to type words. Better with fingers = more words = more posts. Once again, too much spin.

Bravo, Sir_Stabbalot. That was beautiful and poetic at the same time. And it renders the whole smear campaign worthless. How you going to spin that one now, TVMan? Just for that Stabby, free ammo for a week. Yeah!

Also, I suppose I could just tell you what thread to look in and save yourself the time.
