L'extérieur de Caractère : Bonjour, mes amis. Ceci est Le Roden de Lame vous parlant via le traducteur d'internet. Il semble que le Mouton a été s'impressionné avec mon ordre pour mettre 5 points économiques dans la base de Maroc industriel qu'il a décidé de m'offrir l'endroit de France. Bien sûr c'est une honneur être offerte l'endroit d'un premier pays de monde dans une Histoire de Jamais-Terminant de commandant pour « midbies » comme moi. Donc je tout le monde permets de sais juste pour envoyer toutes leurs déclarations de guerre à moi. Vive la France !

Poster le Manuscrit : Bien que, je n'aime pas le fait cela « Le Roden de Lame » ressemble à « Roden le Boiteux » à l'auditoire Anglophone.

Outside of Character: Hello, my friends. This is The Blade Roden speaking to you via internet translator. It seems that Sheep was so impressed with my order to put 5 economic points into Morocco's industrial base that he decided to offer me the spot of France. Of course it is an honor to be offered the spot of a first world country in a major Never-Ending Story for "midbies" like me. So I'm just letting everyone know to send all their declarations of war to me. Vive la france!

Post Script: Although, I do not like the fact that "The Blade Roden" resembles "Roden the Lame" to the English-speaking audience.

Cheney Reiterates Pledge Not to Run
POSTED: 12:17 p.m. EST, March 3, 2008

WASHINGTON, District of Columbia
(AP) -- President Cheney has reiterated statements made in 2001 and 2004 regarding his intentions toward the office of President, stating for the third time "If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."

Cheney has made several remarks since his inauguration as President following the assassination of George W. Bush that he "never wanted the job" and only took the position "to serve the country in its time of need."

The President's decision not to run has resulted in the first "open seat" election in over 80 years, with neither the incumbent sitting President nor the sitting Vice President will be a candidate. What this means for the current field of candidates, including such diverse candidates on both sides of the political spectrum as Dennis Kucinich and Barack Obama, or Rudy Giulani and John McCain, remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain [...]

Clinton and Obama Pull Ahead
POSTED: 7:13 p.m. EST, March 7, 2008

DENVER, Colorado
(AP) -- As the Democratic primaries move past their midpoint the Democratic playing field has become increasingly narrow, with the clear front-runners being Senators Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama, with John Edwards taking a distant third place in both votes and opinion polls.

Outside observers have remarked on the contrast between Clinton’s cool delivery of responses in all debates, including the now infamous discussions in Missouri and Virginia, and Obama’s fiery and passionate arguing in favor of both domestic and foreign policy reform. Obama’s insistence on assistance for combating disease and poverty in Africa achieved notoriety earlier this year for the passing of the Congress of a three year, $9 billion aide package to the African Union, and there has been friction in the debates over differences in foreign policy with Clinton, who opposed the measure.

The point remains, however, that in contrast to the Republican primaries, the competitors for the Democratic nomination do not appear to be in doubt. Estimates on […]

Republican Race Tightens Up
POSTED: 7:46 a.m. EST, May 11, 2008

CHEYENNE, Wyoming
(Reuters) -- The Republican primaries have take on a new character as they enter their final stages in the unlikely state of Wyoming. The race so far has been defined by neck-and-neck competition between Representative Duncan Hunter, "America's Mayor" Rudy Giuliani, Senator John McCain, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, and Governor George Pataki, with several heated debates both on foreign policy and responses to 2007's wave of terrorist attacks in Florida, Texas, and New York.

Although having an initial advantage after a well-crafted speech played on his home-turf of Arizona, John McCain's lead has since declined in the northeast as Rudy Giuliani has picked up ground. The other prime candidates have maintained a strong running, however, and constitute a formidable opposition to both. The race has been anyone's game so far.

The debates in Cheyenne however, appear to have swung popularity in favor of both McCain and Gingrich, both of whom criticized the need for domestic reform which has constituted part of the platform of Giuliani, McCain in particular stating "Mr. Mayor, with all due respect, there is a war going on, and that must be our chief focus."

The hardliner stance of both candidates appears to, at least for now, have swung opinion polls in their favor.

Results of Democratic National Convention Announced
POSTED: 9:54 p.m. EST, August 28, 2008

DENVER, Colorado
(CNN) -- The conclusion of the Democratic National Convention has resulted in the nomination of Hilary Rodham Clinton as the Democratic Party's candidate for President of the United States of America. She has selected Barack Obama as her Vice Presidential running mate, stating "Barack has demonstrated a capacity to bring heart and soul to any Democratic campaign, and after his performance in the primaries it is my honor to have him on board."

The election of Senator Clinton comes as little surprise following her devastating performance in the Democratic Primaries in which she and Senator Barack Obama quickly found themselves the front-runners, edging out more distant third-placer, former Senator John Edwards, among others in early polls. Political analysts have already begun offering opinion on the potent combination of Clinton and Obama, and [...]

Results of Republic National Convention Announced
POSTED: 10:32 p.m. EST, September 4, 2008

SAINT PAUL, Minnesota
(AP) -- With the conclusion of the Republican National Convention the Republican Party has nominated Senator John McCain of Arizona as its candidate for the Presidency of the United States of America, with Newt Gingrich as his selected Vice President. "In these hostile times where democracy and freedom are threatened the world over, the nomination of myself and Mr. Gingrich serves to reassure me as to the resolve of the American people in confronting terrorism wherever it might be," said McCain in a press conference following his nomination.

Several Republican candidates, while congratulating McCain and Gingrich on their nominations, have expressed dissatisfaction at their lack of nomination. It as yet remains unclear however whether any of them are considering an independent run for the Presidency. [...]

Giuliani Announces Independent Run With Pataki
POSTED: 9:16 a.m. EST, September 5, 2008

NEW YORK, New York
(CNN) -- Former Republican party candidates Rudy Giuliani and George Pataki this morning announced their intentions to run an independent candidacy for the offices of President and Vice President, respectively. The announcement came as a shock to many observers of the Presidential race and to New Yorkers in particular. During the press conference Giuliani stated his reasons for the decision, saying "Although I congratulate Senator McCain and Mr. Gingrich on their nomination—and Senators Clinton and Obama as well—the past several years of partisan behavior on the part of both Congress, and the nation as a whole, lead me to believe that this is not a time for further division along party lines to the exclusion of all else.”

“It is time for us to work together,” he concluded. Independent analysts have long stated that Giuliani’s views are likely to be too liberal to receive the Republican Party nomination although no one had predicted if not elected that he would run independently. Outside predictions of the combined campaign funding of Giuliani and Pataki estimate they are likely to have sufficient funding to run such a campaign. What effect the pair, already dubbed the “New Yorker Run” will have on the Republican and Democratic party candidates remains to be seen, however […]

Hmm?

Nice newsclips Sym. Nice and digestible.
 
THE DEADLINE IS HERE.

However, if you failed to send orders I will still accept purchases only. This means you are unable to actually affect the update. This will be available for the next 24 hours
 
Duuuuude...you were 2 minutes early, and my orders were 4 minutes late. Damn. I hate you school!

Nice newsclips, Symph. Very impressive. I shall watch this election with interest. :p
 
ooc: Come online fantasmo.

EXECUTIVE DECISION

I will accept fantasmo's orders as I know for a fact that today is his first day back at school from the Christmas-Summer holidays.
 
I'm pulling out. I just realised that I can't handle so much NES. (Though it is a bloody good one)

Will lurk.
 
Dis, I havent done Oceania yet, send full orders if you send them in quickly.
 
Stop me if I'm wrong, but I have vague memories that the President and Vice President of the USA must be from different states. Wouldn't that prevent a Guiliani-Pataki run?
 
lurker: I dont think thats a rule. I know you want to be form different states so you have a better chance to win. And symph no Mitt Romney? He seems like one of the favorites. your country.

And im really scared that symph will choose the unlikely of the two.
 
I hope the Independants win. The R's will attack Irans, I feel sorry for my old country if Hillary and the Dem's won. Maybe the Independants would like Iran
:stupid:

OOC: Do you genuinely care? If you do I can just go back and make it the far more powerful non-partisan combo of Giuliani and Edwards. "They screwed us, we screw them."
