Hello all!
On the 25th of November we have the second v1 Congress Elections.
Over the past few days ive seen alot of posts on Manifestos, and bids for votes.
Altho this is great, theres something about potenially over 100 posts which makes me scream, oh crap!
So ive worked out an alternative way, which is much more constructive for people to post there Manifestos!
Over at our forums, there is now a new area, Congress Elections.
In here you can post your Manifestos and Bids to become part of Congress! Please post the title in the following style, 5n4keyes - IFP - Limerick.
This will hopefully allow more questions to be asked, and alot less media spam!

I wold recommend that anybody serious about getting elected uses the media also.
The media is the only medium to communicate with the general public and I don't think that a campaign manifesto is spam in any way...
Media is great, but once 6 people post, unless you get votes, its not going to be seen! Atleast on the forums, it can be seen, and those serious about voting can look at all the say, Limerick potenitals and read what they have to say!
I agree with you Igor though I do not own a newspaper so I would thank 5n4keyes for the opportunity on the forum.
we should be allowed use the media thats what it is there for
:facepalm:
You can use the media, not saying you cant... But your posts vanish very very fast, on the forums they wont, on the forums you can be asked questions, on the forums you can reply alot easier, on the forums you can discuss everything, post images, run polls etc.
But its your choice.
I am not saying that you should not use 5n4keyes' forum section.
In fact it is a rather good idea.
I however do not like Campaign Material being dismissed as spam and if you really want to get elected, a media campaign is also esssential
How about we publish a big article near the election date, conatining all the manifestos of everyone who put them on the forum (they can still put them in the media too, but then they get extra coverage without being a spammer)
@5na5keyes whyndont people do bought then
"I however do not like Campaign Material being dismissed as spam and if you really want to get elected, a media campaign is also esssential"
Yes but courtesy for others is also important. For example, I published an article yesterday evening (my time) when not many Irish on online) by this morning it had been bumped off with almost no votes/comments/coverage, because of the rush of articles when you guys come online. I had to scramble to vote it up so it could be seen.
I like the idea of one big article, especially since I don't own a paper. However, it would be a potentially HUGE article and who would publish it?
Ide happily Publish it, it was something i was planning on doing.
Also partys can publish it too with there own people.
Its a good tool, and im not dismissing the media as a bad thing, but as collins commented also, media moves fast, lack of votes means it isnt seen! Forums it will be.
I don't think there's anything wrong with using it all is there? Each has pros & cons... Forums is probably most effective way, but an untapped market through a huge newspaper (like the INT) is a good idea also. Use it all! It's what it's there for!
