  • Office politics

    This amused me, and it shows just how big of gaming nerds we all are where I work.

    We were talking about politics today and how most of us are going to vote for liberal democrats purely because they want to get rid of the digital economy bill so we can download shit

    Simon was saying (Yes, Simon Said) about how he would start up his own political party and it would be the best out there

    Simon: What I would do is scrap the digital economy bill, Tell all immigrants that if they want to come into the country, they'd damn sure better learn how to speak English fluently first. Secondly they had better be coming here to work in a job that's been offered to British citizens first, and not to scrounge off the state. Thirdly that they can celebrate their own special times of the year but they will not try to stop me from celebrating Christmas, Easter and bonfire night.

    Me: Interesting. I'd vote for you

    Simon: The I would take all the warning signs off stuff. You can leave certain ones on, like the lightning strike symbol on electrical cabinet's and substations but take off the ones that say like, If you climb on Electricity pylons, you'll die. If you're stupid enough to scale a 240 000 volt Electricity Pylon, you DESERVE to die. If we take the warning labels off things, the problem will soon sort it's self out.

    Ade: So, what would you call this party?
    Me: The natural Selection party?
    Simon: Nah, it needs to be something neutral and nothing like the BNPs name or anything thats like "if you're stupid, you will die"
    John: The Cowel party?
    Simon: I'm not so egotistical to name a party after myself
    Me: erm...I know !! Ultor!
    Simon: ...Yeah!! *bright eyes* That works!!
    Me: So okay, but you need to build an R&D facility for designing mars mining equipment
    Simon: Yeah, and we'd also need to let the gangs fight over control for England so they can cripple each other, then we can increase police presence and power, which will mean all the gang bangers get themselves arrested or killed
    Simon: We need to work out where we will put the headquarters though. We'd need to call it something original like...oh...I dunno, The Philips Building.
    Me: You need to build it by a disused church for you to renovate, then renovate the whole area too.
    Simon: Indeed!
    Me: We'd need your advertising campaign to be simple too
    Simon: I know! "Ultor: A brighter Future, and a better life"
    Me: what would you do after you get established as Prime minister though?
    Simon: Start mining operations on Mars. We'd Also have to force EDF energy to drop their name OR bring in another division, something more Military like. Like...I dunno, Earth Defence Force
    Me: How will you deal with it if the miners on mars revolt against Ultor?
    Simon: Not a god damn clue.

    We've even got an ear-catch that can be played on TV and radio which you can hear at the following address: http://www.advancedflea.co.uk/cs/ultor.mp3

    THQ and volition are probably going to sue our arses if we do establish such a political party but meh, oh well ^_^

                    Nope, to be president of the US you have to be a natural born citizen.

                        The Job Give me a job in IT and help me out with immigration, I'll get started on running your country the Ultor way ;D

                        I am SO linking the THQ and Volition guys to this thread, honest to god XD

                        Trouble is that your political system works differently to ours. I am talking about Ultor as a political party, like the system we have over here. Technially speaking, the head of that political party runs the country but he has to be voted to that position by people in that party...or I think thats how it works.

                          Only the (p)resident and the vice(p) have to be native, so if the chain of succession fizzles any farther, we could get some conniptions.

                          Line of succession, first 7 offices:
                          1 Vice President
                          2 Speaker of the House
                          3 President pro tempore of the Senate
                          4 Secretary of State
                          5 Secretary of the Treasury
                          6 Secretary of Defense
                          7 Attorney General
