_______________________________________________________________________________________________

We managed to catch Claymores on his way to the party meeting.

"So Claymorez what would you do if you came to power in the party?"

Claymorez:"Firstly I will change our manifesto for Cookies. Too long Eggs has lorded his leadership of the party and failed to hear what the masses truely want. See my proposed reformed manifesto!"

"Do you think you stand a good chance of beating Eggs?"

Claymorez: "Vote Claymorez. Vote Change".

"How would you respond to a proposed coalition within your party if it were offered"

Claymorez: "I would consider it but he will have to mae many concessions"

And that was the end of our interview the party will meet this evening and should have an answer within the hour. Stay tuned to ENN for more.

Mmmm thats an interesting question and I for one see your problem and feel your pain, us as a gaming nation need to stand together not bicker amongst ourselves if our medium is to be taken seriously by the general populace, vote for me as your Escapist WarChief and I promise to put an end to this awful gaming segregation we happen to be suffering.

Zynga fans and Valve fans should stand together, STAND PROUD!

Vote for me, leader of the May Fight Apathy party.

speaking of bickering;

I vote for Furburt.

He bribed me.

Remember on the iPad news article thread?, YEAH! you do don't you!

I took an iPlosion for you, and this is how you repay me?

I *think* you may have misunderstood. I would rather eat my own earwax than play Zynga games, I just hate being lumped into that group as if that is what is assumed I must play. I hide all Zynga games on my FB news feed cos I seriously want to set light to my friends Farmville farms and set loose a bag of flea ridden rats into their cafe world cafes! I totally voted for Valve in MM even though they beat BioWare *sob* at least they were worthy ;-)
It would be nice to see more action taken in removing 'you suck', comments and the 'friendly international banter', that seems to revolve around flinging insults at someone for their nationality, I believe we ought to be better than that! I hit the report button if I see things like that rather than comment (cos that is what we are supposed to do) but without a feature that explains why we are reporting the mods don't necessarily know what it is that is offensive.
Ooooh, rant! *shamefaced* ;-)

We will work closely with the Spanish Inquisition User group (see the community User group spotlight/of the week features paper on the community page) and the moderators to get rid such poor behaviour! Zynga steal all their game ideas I heard somewhere.

Hey you guys know what would really make me happy? SMILIES! Sorry............ I'll get me coat. But I do like them, they are a really good indicator of intent, a winky face means ''Yes, I did just mock you and everything you stand for but it's only little me. Forgives.....?''

[HEADING=1] ICE BREAKING NEWS TONIGHT ON ENN:[/HEADING][HEADING=3] More on our top story: Claymorez challenges EggsnHam with vote of no confidence!?[/HEADING]
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

The meeting in the party is now over and there is Claymorez lets ask him how it went!

"Claymorez. Claymorez a moment of your time if you please. How did the meeting go?"

Claymorez: "It went as expected. Eggsnham has let alot of those in the party down with his actions, and failing to get deeply involved in the campaign and as a result I will be taking the helm!"

"What is the news on Eggsnham. From what we understand he has gone MIA."

Claymorez: "Well I will certainly give Eggsnham a place in my cabinet should we win the election. Already under my leadership we are polling in new votes and fulfilling promises of virtual cookies to those unsure of our intensions"

"How have you done this?"

Claymorez: "Well firstly we give unsure voters a virtual cookie. And I want to announce again our pledge to send you virtual cookies if you vote for us and when we are in power we will continue to send them to everyone who wants them."

"That seems absurd. Even if you only needed to get 30 votes to win."

Claymorez: "We are committed and are the only party thus far to show proof before the end of the election of our commitment. Vote Claymorez. Vote Cookies. Vote Change!"

And that was our interview. Stay tuned for more news on the election.

[Waif]

Indeed, I have acquired plentiful cookies as was promised by Claymorez. Cookies are more than worth the effort XD. If you like cookies, you should vote accordingly .

 

[Mr Snuffles]

Hehe I voted for Furburt because he is OSSOM!

Also I didn't know Steel_Crab took much of a role on the forums, say HIIIIII!

[HEADING=1] BREAKING NEWS TONIGHT ON ENN:[/HEADING][HEADING=3]Live interview with Claymorez[/HEADING]
______________________________________________________________________________________________

"Tonight Claymorez kindly gave us more of his time and has agreed to answering our questions"

"So Claymorez what are the big issues on the forums right now do you think?"

Claymorez: "Well I fell trolling is a disease fast catching. Here in the escapist forum we have been fortunate to have few of them but that is not to say its a problem and keeping an eye on it is always an issue. Also I feel that repeat threads are becoming an issue - with many people getting bored with similar topics turning up do to failure of people to use the search bar. This is certainly an issue I will be looking to tackle in one of the 'New User Guides' I will write"

"What are these guides you keep talking of?"

Claymorez: "The guides are my idea. I plan to write one guide explaining all the functions of posting for new users or users who simply forget like how to do different coloured text or post video's or images and such like to make new user's induction easier and more seamless".

"Interesting. The other party, Furburt's particularly is pushing the old method of being polite and kind and encouraging to new member's".

Claymorez: "The only reason I haven't said that explicitly in the manifesto is that I think it inherently goes with the territory of the position. I will always endeavour to make the community better and to encourage new members to enjoy and behave themselves here."

"You also talk about the Spanish inquisition"

Claymorez: "Yes. The Spanish Inquisition for those who do not know is a small group of users who discuss questionable posts and then decide on whether reporting them is necessary. Their effectiveness in helping to police trolls and poor posting edicate is well known and even featured by the escapist in their new community tab area with a featured user group each week."

"I see. So what else do you think you could do for the community?"

Claymorez: "The idea of a user group for new members is one I am putting forwards now. Where I will set up vetrans of the escapist as admins and there new members can join and ask questions if they have anyone. Thus enriching the community and helping new members to integrate better."

"Well Thank you for this enlightening talk. We shall see you again at the leader's debates tomorrow at 3!"

Stay tuned to ENN for more breaking news.
