OTD Political Parties (Purely Satire)


Off-Topic Discussions


We have a president and a vice president in Off-Topic Discussion, but we do not have any political parties. I think a two party system works well to really drive a wedge in the community, so I think we should follow that format. We also need some really divisive issues to separate the parties.

Please post your Off-Topic Discussion party and one or more issues that define your party.


The Boardwatcher Party.
Issues:
Board protection, prevention of unnecessary fights or harm to fellow Paizonians.
Who is the president/vice president?
I'm thinking that the vice president is Lynora's counterpart, one of the thieves, or a Jack. ;)

The "Grand Old School" party, A.K.A. G.R.O.G.N.A.R.D.

Our platform is simple: Keep kids off our lawns, and prevent them from nerfing the game we know and love into "My Little Pony" land.


I think I found my party. But if GROGNARD is an acromym, we need to keep working on it. If it was GOS, people might call us GOSlings, which would be strange.

At the same time, I could see there easily being at least 2 GROGNARD parties.

Obviously there's a Grognard party for every edition but the most recent iterations of 4e and PFRPG.


Grognards for Pathfinder! :D

No, no, no! The Pathfinder Party has grognards in it, certainly, but it isn't a Grognard Party.

I'll join whichever party supports the rights of me and my fellow undead.


Maybe there's not a straight-up Pathfinder Party. The GFP might be one party among a Pathfinder Coalition.


The two major parties: The Wizard Party (main issues: going with the current editions, using WotC's products), and the Pathfinder Party (main issue: sticking with Paizo's products).
The minor ones:
Grognard Party (main issue: Sticking to preferred edition. Fairly major).
The Boardwatcher Party (main issues: focusing on the Paizo Messageboards, playing PbPs over others. Slightly insane, and rather minor).
The Kobold Party (Main issue: Sticking with KQ's products. Very minor)
The Tolerative Party (Main issue: not caring about editions and stuff and just using whatever looks good, converting anything which doesn't work with their preferred game system. Major)
There are many others, of course, like the Dragonlance Party and the Ravenloft Party, but these are the ones which are doing best at the moment.


OT, perhaps:

Spoiler:
For me, they're two related but distinct issues: flavor and possibilities vs. edition-sticking. The latter is not only about familiarity, comfort, and sentiment. It is also related to the former, and economics, and...?

The Anarchist Party: organizing unorganization.


Would anarchists be content to merely organize unorganization, or would they organize unto disorganization?

Heh, you're making me think of The Man Called Thursday.

Jacks need their own party...

I agree. However, I don't think we could state our true purpose to the masses. Somehow wholesale slaughter and assimilation offend certain people. Go figure.

And yet they seem to be popular political ideals.;)


Yeah, each of the cults have their own party. Except the Borg, since cloning would make things fairly impossible for everyone else. Sorry.


Oooo, I like Grognard and the…what?...anti-Grognard party? Since it will be a two party system, we need several issues under each party.

Nah, there's other parties. See the post? Those are some ideas for minor/major parties. The 'Wizard' and 'Pathfinder' parties don't have to be major. I didn't mean to classify them as such.


Yeah, half-baked third parties that only serve as spoilers. Don’t make me put you in the un-American thread.

Yay for the Greens! :)


What? Oh greens! Whew! I thought you were one of those really whack third parties.
