Unofficial Political Party Census

Meshelic · December 15, 2002, 03:02

For informational purposes, I ask that everyone who can vote do so in this poll. The purpose behind this is to gauge how the Senate is divided according to Party affiliation. If you do NOT belong to a Party, you're probably going to want to vote "independent" so you aren't lumped into the potentially wrong category....

This poll will be open for awhile, so everyone gets a chance to vote.

This should all be pretty darned self-explanatory. There is no middle-ground, you are either one or the other. (So there better be only 5 Labor Party votes since I know everyone who's in it!)

Okay............go!!

Meshelic,

Looking at those three choices, it's obvious what the colors should be:

Hawks: Brown
Labor: Red
DIA: Blue

Meshelic · December 15, 2002, 03:09

Yea, I noticed that too. I didn't know the polling colors went like that when I made it. But hey it works, though!

Panag · December 15, 2002, 14:12

hi ,

where is the option " to all known and unknown parties" , ........

some people belong to two or more , ........

have a nice day

Meshelic · December 15, 2002, 19:39

LIke I said, no middle ground. Your either one or the other.

(The Apolyton Racial Elitists and Apolyton Republican Guard are NOT political parties, more just "movements")

if you aren't a DIA, ALP, or a Hawk....then well you're obviously an independent....

Meshelic · December 15, 2002, 19:42

By the way, glad to see the Hawks are still around. Makes the political spectrum a little less lonely.

Thank you fellow Labor Party elite for representing our party here!

Each of you shall find yourselves the proud owners of a rare, mint condition Labor Party plaque with your names engraved on it.

Those sheisty DIA get a lump of coal.

jdd2007 · December 15, 2002, 21:03

where is the other half of the active hawk party? speak up!

Meshelic · December 15, 2002, 21:07

Are the Hawks re-uniting?

If so then we finally have more than just two parties at a time....

Kloreep · December 15, 2002, 21:57

Indepents unite!

Wait a minute, that's pretty paradoxical, isn't it?

At least three no-party parties have been founded here since the game's start. If I remember correctly from looking back through the 60 pages or so of threads, they were started by notyoueither, Skywalker, and someone else. All of them failed for the simple reason that the entire concept is ludicrous.

I remember those. They were nice spammy threads for a while; then they promptly died out.

Don't worry, I don't plan to start an no-party party anytime soon.

Meshelic · December 16, 2002, 21:28

My favorite was the official Moderate/Independent Party. My god that was hilarious.

Ha, you non-comformists are all the same...

Ah, yes.... the party dedicated to "not use party politics".

As I think Kloreep suggested above, that thread became little more than a spamfest... primarily people chiming in to make fun of the entire concept.

Oh well.

Meshelic · December 17, 2002, 07:34

Due to Kloreep's joining the Labor Party, there are now 6 registered members of the Labor Party. Since he was a former independant, the final statistic will list -1 independent from the end result.

Arnelos have the DIA accepted any new members recently that might effect the stats of this poll?

Meshelic · December 17, 2002, 10:13

The Hawks jump a point! Methinks Unorthodox has returned....hmmm?

UnOrthOdOx · December 17, 2002, 10:24

Not returned, just on a layover

Ah, well glad to see you could appear every now and then.

/EDIT Woah another vote Hawks. Perhaps they are not as dead as some would have them seem?

Arnelos · December 17, 2002, 12:48

Meshelic,

I know a number of the DIA member (GePap, Sean, etc.) are either busy or unavailble right now due to the holiday season. I'm not worried about the numbers above

Nimitz · December 18, 2002, 14:36

Yes we have our own list of members that puts us at 17 1 more than the great indpendents.

Not really. the above poll represents party affiliation among ACTIVE players. I'd admit that a full half of our party list isn't terribly active all the time, much like the vast majority of the independents. So all parties are still dwarfed by the independent population... as it should be
