Because I'm bored (and American elections are in exactly one week), I have declared it that time of year again.  That most important, earth-changing time.  [Orpheus]The time for the Corrupt Despot Elections!!!!![/Orpheus]

Original Flavor
2004 (rigged) Election
New and Improved Campaign
2005 Election.

Here are the original "rules", as presented by Dark Lord Fluffy:

Name yourself, the title you aspire to, your platform, reforms you wish to see enacted, who you will crush beneath your bootheel (or sandalheel if you're VF), and so on.

After the candidates have identified themselves and made their intentions clear, debates, deathmatches, poop-flinging contests may ensue. Expect it all to culimnate in a vote for Supreme Overlord/Dictator/Speaker/President/Idiot Savant/Oracle of PEEL!
In addition to this, I will follow the precedent of Comrade Pasty and decline to run in this year's election, though you'll have to admit I've been a damn good Evil Overlord for the last year.  Don't think this means I'm renouncing my duties though, oh no.  I'll always be there, just out of sight, making the world dance like a marionette with invisible strings...

Anyway, get to campaigning, you pathetic sheeple.

Introducing the Party for Gaming.
I wish to see a console in every house hold with at least one rpg, one fighting game and one tactical game. None of this educational crap, games are fun not learning.
Anyone who defys my commands will be sentanced to watch 'My Little Pony' repeatedly dressed in a nappy and made to cavort like a chained bear for our entertainment. If they refuse that then they will be vanquished to deepest darkest Essex to live out their days in foul beer and dodgy fry ups.
Also to destroy my longtime arch nemisis TNUK.....I'm challenging you to stand against me.

As the Supreme Overlord of PEEL, I'll take down the Yardsticky menace.

...Wait, Nix already did that? Shit, that ruins my whole platform.

As Supreme Overload of PEEL, I'll make sure that in the future the Yardsticky menace and any other menaces that face our great forum will be dealt with in the most humane way, which includes tackled, tarred, feathered, hung, shot with a rifle in the feet, crotch, and hands, their fingers sawed off, drawn, disembowelled, and quartered this person in question. We'll call these persons in question Sticky people.

Also, they're will be wine, champagne, beer, and Swiss chocolate, among other things, for the non-Sticky people.

But winna, I've already won.  And do you really think I have not taken measures to ensure the continuation of my power even after this puppet-theater election?  No, I am well taken care of without relying on the sham that is democracy...

On another note, is there any woman on this board who isn't TNUK's nemesis?

I've decided to throw my hat in the ring...



First the good stuff, smear campaigning...

  • What does Amy20 have against TNUK? The man is a PEEL institution... does amy20 hate PEEL? It would appear so.

  • Do you really trust i_c_weiner to be your Corrupt Despot? Could you trust someone who can't even spell the word "wiener" correctly?
  • Is chay's head serious? PEEL's 9th most relevant Aussie?

My opponents have made some grand speaches; I won't condescend to you by making vague promises or offering cheap bribes. I'm a simple man, with a simple goal: to kill all the stupid people. If elected, I will immediately institute a system which identifies the dumbest people on the planet, and eliminates them in the cheapest and most efficient way possible. The first phase will consist of removing all unnecessary warning labels from products. No longer will a suppository package inform you that they are not to be taken orally; no longer will coffee warn the drinker that it is hot; no longer will condoms come with instructions. I anticipate this policy alone will result in the deaths of the dumbest 5% of the population within a year. After that, well, I don't want to ruin the surprise, so lets just say things will get more pro-active.

I also promise to lie, cheat, steal, philander, and generally abuse my power in every way imaginable, as befits a corrupt despot by proud and ancient tradition.

I wanted to start locally, make changes here on PEEL, those are things i would plan to put in effect the first week, for then on in, its nothing but up! Kicking out with a new space program. The moon? Pssht, lame, Mars? Yeah maybe, but no! If instated i would put money in developing things we NEED! A Stargate. I won't stop spending till we have our own REAL stargate, and i won't stop there, i'm talking stargates in everybody's home! (At least all PEELers) And then i'm going to investigate other awesome sci-fi contraptions. Portals from Prey, Gravity guns from HL2, the spinny thingy from Contact. All that will become a reality! To me at least, if you want to use it, you'll have to ask me really nicely, and thats if i know/like you! I will also spend money to revive all those show that have been removed from gracing our TV's. Firefly will return, and gorramit so will wash! That's just for starters. More to come!

Alright, you ignorant leftists, and drugged-up communists. For the last time, I’m throwing my head into the ring. I’ve become bitter, and, let’s face it: crazy over the years. I’ve changed, I’ve learned. My essential plan in the beginning was to make this world a better place. Now, my plan is slightly different: if not elected, I will destroy the Earth.

First, let us discuss policy. It is common practice for parties to make certain promises, so here we go:

  • I promise that every home will have broadband-speed internet, fast as you could possibly want. Uncapped downloads. Free, save for the electricity that you’ll use to run the computer.
  • All Earthicans will be given their own computer at the age of twelve. A laptop unit, built to a standard specification. Somewhere private to put their porn, their short stories, their execrable poetry, and their plans for world domination. Don’t worry, Earth. The only people looking at your data will be the government.
  • In a break with previous electoral tradition, I’m not going to use sex as an incentive. Although, I’m going to have everybody sterilised at puberty. If you want a kid, you’ll have to take your Breeding test, to get a Breeding Licence. As a concession to this board full of horny virgins, I’ll throw the population a small bone: I’ll hire Morena Baccarin to begin a real-life whore academy, and ensure that everybody gets to spend time (ie: have sex with) a bona-fide companion on their seventeenth birthday. Right before they take the Mandatory Citizenship Test, which will determine whether or not they are too stupid to live as people.
  • Oh yes, there will be a test. If you’re an utter moron with no ambition, intelligence, flair, or drive, then rather than ending up on welfare, living in a council house at the bad end of some arsehole town, you’ll be taken out back, and sent to the labour camps. Where you will partake in backbreaking labour from dawn until dusk, building the mighty fleet of ships with which Earth will conquer the galaxy.


In addition to these promises, I have a basic stance on certain key areas, much of which has not changed.

2). I hereby pledge to make the day of my inaugaration an international holiday. It will (for that one day only, every year) be permissible to burn me in effigy. In fact, I may well make it mandatory for no reason.

4). I'll hunt down and kill with my bare hands the person responsible for "lol". Lol!

5). Downloading things instead of paying for them will not just be encouraged. It will be compulsory, in order to stop companies from making too much money. The government will instead pay artists an annual salary.

6). I'll make porn an optional subject in high schools.

7). I'll have surgery to reduce my hideousness to an acceptable level.

8). I'll also have surgery performed on other hideous people in order to make society a little more easy on the eye.

9). The eradication of poodles will take us one step closer to the world of Futurama.

10). I'll stop hitting my grandma in the face. Honestly. I'll be far too busy doing other things.

I’m stealing Chay’s idea of making awesome sci-fi gadgets a reality. Although, only one particular set of sci-fi gadgets. Everybody I’m particularly fond of can have their very own Dalek, to EX-TER-MIN-ATE their enemies, or random homeless people that they don’t like.

Here is my overall, overarching policy.

Here are some reasons to vote totalnerduk at the polls. Yes, all these things, I will make a reality.

This is an election poster from 2004. It still holds truth.

If you don’t vote me into power, I’ll not run again. I’ll destroy the Earth. Because if I can’t have it, then nobody should have it.

Edit: I like Gopher's ideas. Gopher, if I'm elected, you've just won a seat in my cabinet.

I'd like to join TNUK's party, and be in charge of the Sci-fi-Reality branch. Ensuring things that the countless sci-fi films have taunted us with over the many years, become a reality. Things such as those already mention PLUS! being able to travel at light speed, and not just when in space ships, also whenever you damn well feel like it.

Faze should be the parties mascot, or poster child if you will.

Besides, if I stood opposed to TNUK, i'd have to make some "Stop the world from being destroyed" policy, and that sounds like a lot of work.

Did you know that TNUK...

*... hates old people and dogs?
*... secretly plans to permanently sterilize all other males and claim the entire female population for himself?
*... regularly murders prostitutes in a horrific fashon?
*... is English?
*... once killed a man for mistyping his name?
*... eats babies?


Is this the kind of man you want as your Corrupt Despot?

I like TNUK. I respect him as a candidate... but I must oppose his candidacy.

Let me elaborate: the man has threatened to destroy the earth if he should fail to be elected; that much is clear.  But what if he wins? Is the Earth saved? Far from it. I argue now that TNUK’s policies will, in fact, destroy the earth. Perhaps I should explain this further…

TNUK’s extensive breeding restrictions will result in a precipitous plunge in population. Everyone knows that the stupidest 50% account for about 90% of the population growth… and what does that add up to? Some percentage I can’t even comprehend, that’s what. But I digress… the fact is that his strict policies will result in a rapid decline in population, and not just because of the high mortality rate for those performing backbreaking labor building ridiculous sci-fi technologies. Within a generation or two there will be no slave-wage populace, and then who will wash our dishes and build our spaceships?

I offer an alternative solution, a real solution.

  • Let me borrow TNUK’s mandatory sterilization of pubescent boys and girls. It’s a great idea, but from here we will differ. I will have a three-step program to determine breeding suitability, one not just based upon intelligence… if there’s anything my reign as Dear Benevolent Leader will be known for, it will be superficiality.
  •   The first step, of course, will be testing mental aptitude. This will be conducted at 16 years old. By then it should be clear if you’ve grown to be a dimwitted sack of crap.
  • The second step will be to test one’s ability to select a proper mate. Let me explain: Some may say you can’t manually change standards of beauty; this is completely wrong, and I will do exactly that. All citizens will be subjected to rigorous tests of their taste in men or women. Those exhibiting poor taste will receive low marks. The test will be repeated while the subject is intoxicated, to weed out those with severe beer-goggles. Here are some examples of what will be considered attractive and… not.
Approved (for heterosexual men and lesbians):


Not Approved:

  • The third step is being subjected to a jury of your peers… via a Hot-or-Not style process. A pool of potential mates from your local population (representative of regional demographics) will be asked to rate your attractiveness, presumably on a scale from 1 to 10.
  • After these three steps the populace will be divided into three segments. First are the doables, exhibiting intelligence, good taste, and physical attractiveness. They will be allowed to breed as they choose at the age of 21. Second are the passables, those of perhaps moderate intelligence but overall good looks, or those intelligent persons who are only about a 6, looks-wise. These people will be limited to two offspring, after which sterilization will be mandatory. The third group, of course, is the undesirables. Ugly and/or incredibly stupid, they will never be allowed to breed.
  • [/small]
    Okay, there’s the breeding policy. Much better, isn’t it? Sure, some of you may not be allowed to reproduce (Nurdbot, TNUK) …but will you even really notice a difference?

    I’ll outline my other positions later, but in the meantime, I think I’ll attack my opponents…

So much is wrong here. First, is that a Briton offering superior dental care? What a novel idea. (please vote for me, Brits!)  And how does he offer a bride? I don’t condone slavery, and clearly he’s advocating slavery. No woman would voluntarily be Nurdbot’s bride. Ugh… now as far as Drjunk day goes, what a preposterous concept. Every day will be drunk day when I am in charge – and there will be fireworks and funnel cake, too.

One more thing – Nurdy reminded me of something there. Asian women are overrated, and the government’s official position on them will be “Meh, they’re nothing special.” They will, however, be entitled to protection from creepy nerds. Also, cosplay will be a felony offense.

7). I'll have surgery to reduce my hideousness to an acceptable level.

I also support this measure. TNUK will get as much cosmetic surgery as is necessary. After his defeat, I will see to it that he never successfully destroys the world – he will be suspended for eternity in a transparent cube above Times Square, spending the rest of his days shouting at passersby.

More measures:

  • chay’s digital prostitutes will be illegal. Have we forgotten the horrors of I Dated a Robot already?

  • Reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond will emit a death ray. We don’t need those people. Same goes for According to Jim.

  • I'm committed to exploring the oceans. We will find and capture the giant squid, as many as possible, and... well, I'm not sure what comes next. But it'll be awesome, I assure you.
  • Small elephants will be bred or genetically engineered to be kept as housepets.

That's a wonderful idea. Let the idiots in the labour camps breed, in order to keep up a constant supply of workers. Excellent. Thanks, Masty. You've helped me fix the one flaw in my glorious campaign. If we start to run short of people in the population, then we can breed the idiots. Not that I expect there to be a drop in the birth rate, what with all the idiotic men in labour camps, and the women (I am constantly being told that there are no stupid women, by my female colleagues) forced to settle for horny nerds like Wooter.

That's why my campaign is clearly the best. Not only am putting the best and brightest in charge, but also the most attractive. Somehow this makes me the most pro-woman candidate. I'm not forcing them to settle for homely dorks. Or turning them into sexual commodities.

Nurdbot's ideas sound good, but lets analyse them a little.

* Real Dalek Robots
Everybody loves evil robots, but can we trust such a promise from a man who thinks Daleks are robots, when everyone knows they are mutants who merely inhabit mechanical shells?


* Stargates
A stargate in every home sounds wonderful, but it's also horribly impractical. A stargate is a device for interplanetary travel only, they are useless for travelling across a given planet! Besides, given the system's inability to target a particular gate if a planet contains more than one, every time your neighbor doesn't answer their Stargate their guests will be redirected to your house!

* Some sort of energy/plasma/photon powered gun
Actually, I can't think of any problems with this one; the world is long overdue for a radical advance in hand-held killing power.

* Hovercars
Everyone wants a hovercar, but nobody thinks about the practical matters; without being magnetically coupled to a fixed roadway, hovercars move frictionlessly. Driving a hovercar without such special roadways would be like driving on black ice all the time. Automobile accidents would skyrocket, taking insurance rates with them. When you combine this with the tax implications of funding the long-term project of replacing all major roads with special roads allowing magnetic coupling, the nations' poor will have no money for food, forcing them to eat their babies like TNUK.

* Time Travel in the form of Cars
Everyone wants a time machine, of course, but ask yourself this: do you want all your enemies to have one to? I think not!

* Digital Prostitutes
"Digital" is a big buzzword lately, but in truth digital prostitutes perform at less than 10% of the effectiveness of conventional Analog prostitutes, and they cost more too!

* Robots Powered by Alcohol
Alcohol burns much cleaner than conventional fossil fuels, it is true, but do you really want liquor prices to go up the way gas prices do? Personally I think drinks are too expensive already!

Chay's head: Big vision, poor planning!
If you want strangers to appear in your living room unannounced, prostitutes to be colder and even less personal, alcohol prices to skyrocket, and stupid teenagers in hovercars to run over you twice a day, then by all means, vote for Chay's Head!
