General Election Topic

Metal Man · #41

Here is yet another comic:

Sean P Kelly · #42

I'm going to work on the comic tonight and hopefully it will be up in a couple hours.

I'm going to include the "pre-debate," since it has some good content (and helps with the story) and I am going to add a scene explaining why "certain candidates" never showed.

Metal Man · #43

K, good luck with that Sean.

EDIT: In a shocking turn of events, Donez's CM appears to have been banned!

NC Debate 2008 Comic (with bonus epilogue)

Some notes:

The return of the "Donezcopter" (previously used by me in a Mysteries deathmatch)
A literal "Parachute Candidate"
Shy vs Shy cameo
MetalMan gets "swooshed"
A possible forgery
I was going to use Obama/McCain for the Bill frame, but I thought it would be funnier to go a little farther back...
Churro is tiny

Nice comic there, Sean. I like the part where it can be seen Metal Man is there even before the moderator shows up.

Heh heh heh.

Red · #46

Nice Sean, wish I could've been there :( .

Yoshi qualifies for Retro? I think that required going back to the 80s at least?

Metal Man · #48

Good point, Jared.

I will have another comic sometime tomorrow.

Sean P Kelly · #50

I think I might follow MetalMan's suggestion and hold of VP debate sometime in the new year.

The general election vote will probably happen soon after that debate.

I'll take suggestions for dates (though a Friday is prefered)

It appears that Irby has been banned from VGF.

Sadly, this means that in his absence, Fred must take over as a replacement candidate.

Metal Man · #52

Actually, since Irby was a CM, and Donez has already been through two CMs, it would make more sense for him to have a new CM. Which could be you.

Additionally, I don't see how it would make sense for Fred to compete against Metal Man yet again. He already lost once... what was the point of the Nintendoite primary if the losers from it can just run again and again?

How many alternate accounts do you have Metal Man?

True, but I think Fred being the candidate is a more attractive option than Donez going through his third CM.

Additionally, I don't see how it would make sense for Fred to compete against Metal Man yet again. He already lost once... what was the point of the Nintendoite primary if the losers from it can just run again and again?

This is a special situation which calls for drastic measures. I don't think a CM has ever been banned mid-campaign before.

Let's see there isMenaced By Puppet, and Lilly Chance... am I missing any?

Laika Come Home · #57

Lilly Chance actually wasn't an alt account, but appears to be a friend of Metal Man's from another forum.

It still is dirty politics to bring out alt accounts to fight your battles for you though. Notice how during the Nintendoites primary, I never brought out an alt account to counter Menaced by Puppets.

Red · #58

I was doing some research on Metal Man, and Menaced by Puppet's backgrounds.

Guess what I found, they don't have any, not only are they not Mario characters they aren’t even Nintendo characters. In fact they didn't exist until the election started.

If anything Metal Man is a paranoid android, do you want someone who is paranoid running the government?

Metal Man · #59

Pft. I don't have a single alternate account. And if you think I'm lying, just ask the admins.

And if you think they're lying, I can always have me and Menaced by Puppet (also known as Gujin_Hisaki) show up and smack you in IRC, AIM, whatever.

Also, Fred, if you can just magically become the candidate, then I would just as quickly counter-propose that Hawkmouth, who is actually Subconian, become the candidate instead.

Menaced By Puppet · #60

Hahaha. Oh wow, you guys think I'm an sock-puppet? Too fun, when light on substantial topics go for the irrelevant and false mudslinging, am I right?

Despite quite clearly stating that I'm not Metal's alt account in the Nintendoite primary, this rumor somehow persists. Like Metal said, if you want to get us both in a chatroom on IRC or AIM or whatever and check out our hostmasks, revealing us to not only not be the same person but infact be several states away from each other, I'd be happy to oblige. Or you can stay in your little 'MBP's a sock of metal its not fair whine whine bitch moan' worlds, that's fine too! I don't care.

Also, it's Menaced by PUPPET, you jerks. No 's'. Sheesh, if you're gonna bandy around these claims atleast get the supposed alt's name right.
