Why I Will RETAIN My Nomination for CP

As many of you know, I'm in an awkward position with my party right now where I am being forced to balance the best interests of the country, the best interests of my party and pressure from a wealthy individual who has not only stolen money from the government, but is using it to buy political support. I am making it clear here and now that I will not be supporting the CP candidate that a financially motivated vote within my party selected. I will also not be supporting the CP candidate that the active members of my party who have spent the last two months ON THE FORUMS, WORKING and CONTRIBUTING to making the party better. One half of my party wants to support Fox Blutch and the other wants to support Rolo (who I believe to be a criminal). I will be keeping the nomination for myself because I realistically have no chance to win and it will damage the reputation of the party at the least risk and will prevent a known criminal (allegedly) from gaining access to the Presidency. This is my personal decision, there is not a single member of my party who was aware of this decision, nor do any of them support me in this choice. I have chosen to gone rogue in order to keep this country safe while helping my party stay together. Because my actions will betray every single member of my party, I know that I must leave the party at the end of my PP term. The following is a copy of a private message that I sent to Alastar regarding this decision. I hope this helps some of you understand the reasoning behind my actions.
I think we all realize the unfortunate situation I'm in right now. If I put support behind a legit candidate, I have to put up with shit from Rolo and his paid supporters. If I put support behind Rolo, I have to put up with shit from everybody else who will see me as the guy who willingly let a known criminal run. Either way I lose and either way I get attacked and shamed. So, I figure if I'm going to piss someone off, I may as well piss off the person who's put me in this situation to begin with.
To be honest with you, I haven't even counted the votes. I've known since before I ran for PP last month that this was going to be my last. I knew when I agreed to this vote that I wasn't going to listen to the results anyways. I never intended to put Rolo forward for CP and I never intended to put anybody who's been supporting him forward either. It's actually not a personal vendetta, it's just that putting someone like that in charge of the country is just a terribly bad idea and if a single thing goes wrong, not only would it come back to me, but I wouldn't even have anything to show for it. Remember, Rolo has not given me a single reason to work with him even when I tried to find some common ground with him. I have no reason to let anyone from his inner circle have a nomination and doing so would be terrible for the NCEP anyways.
Realistically, we both know that the support of the active people within the party is behind Fox as evidenced by the vote on the forum. We both also know that the majority of the people who are supporting you or Rolo are being paid off for their support and that distorts the legitimate support. In any case, both you AND Joe have asked me to change the nomination and I'll be ignoring both of you and keeping it for myself. This way, neither side gains, both sides lose equally and instead of the party taking a hit, I get to keep up my habit of taking all the blame for s***y situations formed by other people.
This is my personal decision and that it has nothing to do with the party. It's also clear that there will be no way for me to stay in the party after this. I'll have one have of the party that will be violently demanding my resignation as an incompetent a**, and I'll have another half of the party that I won't be able to work with without feeling like I've betrayed them. I hope there are no hard feelings. I think this is the best course of action and I hope you can understand why I'm making this choice. It's nothing personal, it's just politics.
There's no way an NCEP candidate is going to win anyways so if someone is going to lose, it may as well be me. I've already lost my party, my congress seat and a lot of my friends so I may as well lose a CP election too.

Kilgore

oooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrr, you could back me.
I expect these comment boxes to be filled rather rapidly. I expect this comment will also be the closest to the truth than any other.
Unlucky Kilgore, some situation to be in man.
NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME!
*Cut's wrist*
And remember KT its down the road, not across the street!
What is the future of the CEP?
NCEP Mr. Blutch the CEP is dead therefor it has no future.
Wow, "democracy" didnt last too long in the "NCEP", did it?
I demand your resignation as a competent ass.
That's... wow. Way to put yourself down in the muck with Rolo.
All around it's an odd election, considering the EPIC nonnomination; no doubt one to remember, remember.
The lesser of two-evils may still be an 'evil' but I think Fox Blutch needed an actual opponent to appear in the elections to make Nov 5. seem like a legitimate race. GL giving him a good run ~ Tally Ho!

Tough situation, sometimes when presented with two difficult choices the best solution may be neither.
This may be a good election for a boycott.
Way to go Kilgore!
Good to see the Party Members got THEIR VOICE heard. You've done more damage than I ever could....
So the NCEP is pretty much done right
Rolo is probably gonna take it over right
Its too bad
Funny thing. You're the best candidate.
Hey Rolo:
1. It's not THEIR VOICE when you've PAID them to have it.
2. You're a f***wad.
3. Even if I lose, I lose knowing that I'm not a self-centered, ignorant buffoon who puts my own laughs ahead of the laughs of the rest of the community. At the end of the day, even though I'll get pushed out of the party, I get to walk away knowing that I've made the best decision out of a hard choice and my integrity is intact. Like it or not, I'm still well respected by a good deal of people and that's all I care about.
Everyone else: VOTE FOR KILGORE!!!
Mad respect for you KT. As I told you the first time I really talk to you on IRC: I am happy to see the other PPs of the eCanadian parties for the month.
Funny thing. You're the best candidate. x2
Funny thing. I'm the best candidate. SO YOU SHOULD ALL VOTE FOR ME!
You didn't count the votes? O_o;
Before making such a decision as to take the CP nomination on the grounds you stated should you not at least count the votes?
Your arguments don't make much sense to me Kilgore, if you are not willing to support a legit candidate because you are worried about Rolo (such as listening to the will of at least half your party by choosing Blutch) then how is it any less worse to not pick any other candidate and give it to yourself O_o;?
From my standpoint Rolo would gain more credibility in the scenario -> at the very least if you chose Blutch you could of said it was a 50/50 split and heres why i chose Blutch over Rolo.
It's when it comes time for tough decisions that we see who is worthy of our respect and admiration. Some decide to steal and become a counter productive force and distraction. Others decide to stand by their principles.
Congratulations KT, I'm going to guess you will gain more than lose on this one.
Funny thing. You're the best candidate. x3
Sorry, but if you think the party members that weren't paid wanted to support Blutch, then the competent thing would've been to support him!

I respect you for this kilgore, sometimes hard choice need to be made for the greater good. In the mist it's hard to really see if someone is really acting in those interest. But the fact alone that you know that it's end and still did it only make you a better man out of it.
Reminds me of a certain protest that didn't ended up too well for their leaders. But hey, sometimes you have to take the bullet.
Lavis, rather than choosing to side with one faction within the party and only causing more division, my choice gives both factions equal treatment.
I dont think rolo has paid a single person to support him, and if he did boy did i miss out on some free gold, i dont understand why you didnt at least support the leading out of party candidate then. You could have stopped rolo and showed support to the out of party candidate that was most supported. However that was your choice and i will respect you decision and offer my support.
MG, in another article, I posted a screenshot of a PM from at least one of the party members who said Rolo approached him offering 5 Gold to vote for him. Problem is, whenever I'm able to provide proof that like, I get accused of "forging evidence" or am told that it's "not relevant".
I agree though, we really have missed out on the gold. Funny, he hasn't bothered trying to pay me off though. 😛
What you could've done:
1. Find anyone else in eCanada that you can rely on.
2. Set the CEP's CP nomination to them.
3. They leave the CEP, hence the nomination is removed.
Then no one gets the nomination!
pressure from a wealthy individual who has not only stolen money from the government, but is using it to buy political support.... rofl he's a thief!
I'm voting Kilgore.
Good Luck Kilgore Trout89.
Dear Rolo Whatever the F**k your last name is,
Way to go a**hole. You have broken a man whom I truly respected and thought would make an excellent CP. Your underhanded tactics have destroyed the CEP so you now have no parrt to manipulate. I would like to ask that EPIC and DAL act to quash your scum hide in the CP election. If Kilgore is f**ked I wish you one worse.
Zrk2
u did the right thing, we need more guys like you in ecanada.
Funny thing. You're the best candidate. x4
I'm totally voting for trout. It would be awesome if he actually won 😃
Funny thing. You're the Best Candidate. x4
you must win for the party kilgore!
I support your decision KG. It's a tough thing to listen to hearing that "supposedly" half the party agrees with Rolo. While only maybe 3 have stepped forward to support him.
Never the less, hang in there bud. Hope you stay with the party and keep helping us through these tough times...
Thank you for making this choice Kilgore!
If Rolo had received the nomination I would have left the (N)CEP for good.
It's a terrible choice to make -- ignoring the party -- but when the definition of "party" becomes "corrupted group of scum" (NOT everyone mind you, is corrupted in there, there are still a few shining lights in there), then "democracy" becomes "making the right choice" --> Good for you for standing up against Rolo. I fully support you on this.
P.S. OH LOOK! A ROLO-FUNDED AD IS UP ALREADY!
Cleary Rolo was the bad guy here
Nice Job Kilgore for standing up against Rolo and his paid supporters
"IF I CANT WIN HE CANT EITHER." Q_Q moar, bro.
ROLO ISNT PAYING SUPPORTERS. The ones who have been around for the last 8 months and saw the work that Rolo put in to build the party from sub-CPP levels support him and elected him last PP election.
Unfortunately Kilgore also disagreed and admittedly invited the CAF/DAL into the party for a day for PP elections to win by a unconvincing/and fraudulent lead of 6 votes.
But thanks for your attack articles on the CEP and ignoring/corrupting the votes of the CEP in the last PP election and current CP nomination, Kilgore. Truly amazing how you have tried to destroy the party.
Bravo
oh and Saradroz...you are an expert at that arent you?
"Wow, "democracy" didnt last too long in the "NCEP", did it?"
No Tem, but then democracy and self-professed terrorism, not to mention telling players that you don't give a f*uck about them, both à la Rolo, don't usually go hand in hand either.
The party was screwed, Rolo's trademark, the moment he became "reinvested" with it, although he'd like for some at least, to believe otherwise. For those in the know, the lulz is on. Screw the rest.
Kilgore, it's still just a game with lots of other areas to explore. I love your sense of humour, your spirit. Kudos. o7
Bravo
Selling my vote for miniguns. "Tell Me More!" Give me weapons, get my vote. It's that easy!
i didn't read the article cause it seemed long.............but good luck kilgoure
