Mid-term Elections 2006: Still keep Simtropolis!

[Micah 16]

Election time has come again to America and Simtropolis. Our wonderful Simtropolis is holding an election, a huge campaign to re-elect our great Dirktator is beginning to take shape in all sections, from left to right, everywhere banners will go up.

You, the great voter, have the choice!

Our candidate for re-election, Dirk, plans to keep everything the same it is with some possible add-ons to the City Journal section and keeping the donations coming in. He will not raise taxes, not raise admision fees, not raise download costs, anything. 

Our only opponent, Maxis (EA), plans to raise download costs, admision fees, and everything will be moved to their servers and be their properity. Also, EA will lower the quality of BATs, lots, and modds.

Vote Today and Make A Change In Time! No one can vote that is below 13 years of age!

This thread is from the 2004 Simtropolis Elections thread with minor changes. All credit goes to clindhartsen.

Keep real world politics out of the discussion. 

Edit: Comment for who you voted for and why.

The following advertisement was paid for in part by the committee to re-elect the Dirktator.

CAN YOU IMAGINE SimTropolis under EA management?!

That costs how much?! And who is Psydonymous Martian?!
Be smart, don't be a FART! Vote Dirk.

This post was posted without knowledge of EA Games or the Dirktatorship, it was paid for in part by independent committees.

What is the point of this...?

Well I voted Dirk anyway...  who voted EA... Come on... own up.... which one of you was it...?

[moganite 4]

Mogan  Corp votes dirks all the way

[PhilsCafe 8]

I voted dirk.

EA would probably release "STEX Collector's Edition Vol. 3" and the "Dependency Fun Stuff" seperately... and if we're lucky, there'll be a "STEX Collector's Edition Vol. 3 Deluxe" one year later.

Ok, not to be a killjoy or anything, but this is not a democacy, I'm told.

[s.i.X 13]

You're right, it's a full force dictatorship, complete with brass cojones. They only made this because the kids here are too young to actually vote in the upcoming election.

I voted EA. It was me. I am sorry. Are you going to be like Saddam and shoot me now? Sobeit.

LOL!

Well, even under Saddam's regime, the people could vote (but only for one candidate).

[callagrafx 3]

So, it's a popularity contest....Ok, that's cool. I'm waiting for the Bikini section. And does EA really want world peace and an end to poverty?

[Firebird 40]

WOAH!

Can this be true!!?!?!

*Votes for Dirk so fast that his cat, who was sitting his his lap, jumps up and claws him in suprise.*

[s.i.X 13]

'Well, even under Saddam's regime, the people could vote (but only for one candidate). '

Actually there were a few of them, and he did shoot dissenters. I think 99.95% of the vote was in his favour?

[crazychickensc12 84]

No way defiently voting for dirk!!

[Zelgadis 638]

I'm withholding my vote until after the swimsuit competition.

[Duke87 1,070]

What's the point? dirk keeps the site whehter he gets the most votes or not. That's how a dirktatorship works.

[Ryan B 35]

Sabre Nation votes Dirk. He's got a few thousand votes now.

[Firebird 40]

If it's a bikini thong i'm on the next shuttle to the ISS

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

The great Interplanetary Leech Empire votes for Dirk, and also says that there should be no inappropriate swimsuits, or it will have to use force against you.

Hmm, lets count the votes from the Leech Empire... *Runs off screaming as a giant mountain of ballots fills the room* I'd say that there are at least several billion votes for Dirk in there, I'm not going to count all of them as it would take way too long, and by the time I finished, the election would be long over with.

What the....? 4 people voted EA?!?! Let's assume (read: pray to the mighty Simcity gods... or atleast hope) they are joking around.

[amal81 3]

[Camaron 1]

31 votes for dirk vs 5 votes for Maxis (EA) , who is the favourite is very clear.

(PS - I did vote immediately, however I would like to keep my vote anonymous.)

Well, I have a 50% chance of guessing who you voted for by picking blindly... If I use my intelligence, I'd bet you voted dirk, like any other sane person.

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

The Moose Factory votes for Dirk.  All the little meese has better get in line.  I am ordering one kilo of cyanide for the use of the autosystem.
