Welcome to the jungle....we've got fun and games...we've got everything you want....but you'll never be quite the same....The slings and arrows of political fortune are flying free my friends. Those with power....I am not the only journalist who is asking for answers....The outcry is likely to get worse as the citizenry starts to take up the cry as well....

A bit odd how the journalists are being really specific about prisons, no? ;)

Agreed. It's a bit of a reach to anyone to be assuming anything about escapes from Farpoint unless you're in on the private meetings in question. We're going to let them stand for now as irresponsible speculation, but please be more restrained next time. Of course, if the journalists in question are receiving leaks, that's another matter.

Nor have they bothered to act and find out. Just trying to keep the self-righteousness in check. :D

Okay, so I've never touched upon this type of game before. I was considering joining one of the political parties as a start but was wondering if there is a set way to do such? Its most likely writen down somewhere and I've missed it. Thus, allow me to say sorry. :)

First, welcome aboard. You should check out the Rules first. Then, take a look at the platforms the four existing parties to see which one you like (or try to create your own, if you think they are lacking). The party communication threads (which should be on the first couple of pages) will tell you what they're about. Once you join a party, you can take a seat in the General Assembly as a representative of that party.

Hopefully, we'll have a mentor for you soon.

Actually, I believe Todd Rapp got the ball rolling in this direction. I've simply picked up on the vibe.

EDIT:

J.Pass: Since Micheal Lundgren is retired now, I guess you are the official speaker. You might want to appoint a new deputy to help move things along. While IC political considerations are a part of the equation, I hope you'll also consider OOC factors, such as activity level and actual ability to moderate and lead a discussion.

Badawi already has a mentor, one of our most accomplished players of many ages - Phalanx. If you have any questions Badawi, feel free to ask them here or PM him, he should get in touch with you shortly, and he's a great resource to pick. :) Of course, we're always happy to help find your bearings too.

Welcome to the game, I've seen some of your work in 1515 (that Moldavia court looked mighty familiar... ;) ) and we're glad to have a player of your caliber join us. :)

Rapp never mentioned escaped prisoners. He asked about security at Farpoint (city), the explosion, and the APB. It's still a reach from there. This is just more of a reminder to be careful about material in private threads.

I have been reading only the threads in the public section, plus the two private threads that are ELP related, and of course this OOC thread. So while it may be improbable, perhaps it is that we have come to expect the improbable. Thanks for confirming the speculation. Obviously, it is OOC, so I can't quote it, but I can know it.

You can go to their HQ or their Communication thread. Some of them may have fallen off the main forum since the election.

No problem, I was always flattered. :)

Yep, you can either ask at the Party HQ or you can go to their communications threads in the public area to ask any questions you might have before joining.

EDIT: Der, what Vosh said. :eek:o

If you want to ask questions, the communications threads are the place, once you have decided, post that you want to join in their HQ, which is in the private threads area.
