Citizens of FBTB!

It is my pleasure to announce the formal coalition of the Ficus and Joedward as co-mayor candidates of FBTB.

As soon as Ficus realized that both Joedward and Ficus were striving toward the same goals – a stronger, more unified FBTB community, led by sane individuals who both rose above the bickering of less qualified candidates – both parties quickly moved to form a coalition. Together the two wish to bring an amazing year to FBTB.

You may be one of the many individuals torn between friendships and party alliances. We have these words for you: You don't have to give up either. The Ficus and Joedward are both upstanding members of this community with strong ties to many members. Any old member will surely remember good times had with both and many newer members will quickly recognize their faces as involved and friendly contributors to our outstanding home we affectionately call FBTB.

Joedward brings many good things to the table – friendliness and humor, as well as a certain British charm and is known to almost all members as a great contributor to this community. The Ficus promises stability, honesty, and good old down-to-Earth qualities. Ficus has never uttered an unkind word, does not pretend to be something it is not, and cares about the environment. Never in many years (two) have two more qualified candidates joined forces like this.

So when the time comes to make a decision, to choose between many interesting candidates all aspiring to a noble goal, just remember the honest ones – The Joedward/Ficus coalition.

Very respectfully,
-timborino, Campaign Manager

That's great and all, but why exactly did it require you to break the first rule Austin laid out in the FAQ?

I think that your choice to join together is a good one; Ficus and Joedward indeed have much in common. I wish you the best of luck in the election!

I feel the need to point out that this little announcement isn't as innocent as it's made out to be.

Joedward is touted as one of the few who "rose above the bickering of less qualified candidates" - and yet you can all see for yourselves in the officially sanctioned campaign thread that he's made several direct attacks, on myself personaly and the Rebel party as well! (See for yourself!) Now, I'm not saying that he's a bad candidate... quite the contray in fact (personally, I think he's a great guy. As is the Ficus - 'cept, you know, he's a tree)... I just want to make sure that the good people of FBTB aren't going to get tricked into yet another platform that starts off based on lies.

** Ladies and gentlemen, Mister Hoo, campaign manager of the Rebel Party **

Ladies and gentlemen, I would first like to say that our esteem adversary, Mister DonSolo, is once again failed by the incompetence of his support team and forced to do the dirty work himself.

Nonetheless, he makes a good point concerning Joedward.

But we, at the Rebel Party, would like to point out that the Ficus isn't without flaws either. In fact, we may have just witnessed the biggest flip-flop in the history of FBTB elections, as just a few days ago, the Ficus was openly throwing its support towards the Rebel Party.

So really, ask yourselves : do you really want to be governed by people who change their minds as often as this?

If the Ficus and Joedward really believed they were strong contenders, there would be no need to team up for this waste of the taxpayer dollars. Already, Joedward has shown himself to represent diminished morals on these forums. As for the Ficus, we just don't know where he stands on the issues that are important to the forum members. Its questionable at the very least.

Its just another example of cheap publicity stunts to try and round up a few straggling votes. Remember Ralph Nader? This is attempting to take away from the strong running of the two major contenders: DonSolo and whoever that other guy is.

I'll allow this thread as an exception. But since it was just an announcement and not a discussion...
