Hey guys, quick announcement: (none / 0)

I'm gonna be making a post for each speech in the conference as they come up on my TV, just to keep things organized. Try not to make your own head posts, it clutters stuff up. This is not a power trip, I swear.

So... about that primary huh? Any thoughts?

Not surprised they stole New Iowa from Cardinov (none / 0)

The place is constantly rigged, it's the perfect place to coronate the most corrupt speaker in planetary history.

We should have an actual candidate speak here! (none / 0)

I know we technically had Hubbard, but getting a big Democratic candidate to do a question sesh could really put this forum on the map.
Plus, I bet people would have a bunch of stuff to ask :P

Griptly was robbed man (none / 0)

That's like his hometown or whatever, they're trying to get us to think that nobody voted for the planet's favorite trenchworm colony? I smell something fishy here.

Telling everyone to please play nicely and work together at his very special conference. Normal stuff



by barnacle on Wed Jan 1, 2251 at 23:15:01 EDT

Why is this guy so boring (none / 0)

Almost fell asleep halfway through :P
You're a scientist right? Talk about blowing stuff up with nukes, I don't care about procedure

It's still Veren (none / 0)

I'm enthusiastic about him and he's going to win. No reason to be a splitter over one other good speech.

[ Parent ]

Yeah, no (none / 0)

It's always gonna be Veren, he's the way to go

Jeremy Ronalds Speech (none / 0)

Summary for those who can't watch at home:
Solid speech overall, talking about working together with Earth and deregulation. Normal MUP stuff

by barnacle on Wed Jan 1, 2251 at 23:15:57 EDT

Eugh. (none / 0)

I felt the smile drop from my face when he went from attacking insane stuff like "self rule" to trying to make "cutting red tape" a normal policy.

by Bepis on Wed Jan 1, 2251 at 23:24:02 EDT

Reaction (none / 0)

why is reactionary thought so constant here? It's so depressing to see people who are normally fine like Ronalds talking about creating a "Martian civilization". Sometimes it feels like I'm watching everyone around me go backwards…

Kanee Cocinov Speech (none / 0)

Summary for those who can't watch at home:
Pretty short speech, just talking about his accomplishments and endorsing Veren. First time that Veren has been mentioned!

by barnacle on Wed Jan 1, 2251 at 23:17:40 EDT

Something to touch on (none / 0)

"Unionism is not a way of politics"

THANK YOU. Finally someone is talking about how unionism is a philosophy on its own and isn't just a "political bloc"
Thanks Kanee!

William Strickland Speech (none / 0)

Summary for those who can't watch at home:
Goes far into how his own ideology of "interplanetary unionism", talks about colonizing space, fairly unifying speech nothing special

This is his real speech.

by barnacle on Wed Jan 1, 2251 at 23:33:26 EDT
[ Parent ]

Huh??? (none / 0)

That doesn't make any sense! Why does he get two speeches when everyone else just gets one. Clear bias here.

Dude... (none / 0)

... I didn't make the docket, I'm just a mod for this forum.
I have legitimately no idea why you're mad about this of all things. Take a chill pill.

Usage Veren Speech (4.00 / 2)

Summary for those who can't watch at home:
Taking a very moderate and concilatory stance here, talks about making friends and working with autonomists



by barnacle on Wed Jan 1, 2251 at 23:27:34 EDT

-Bring autonomists into the fold? (none / 0)

Yeah we tried that, look at the current government! Starting to get really annoyed with this guy, I thought he broke from ACR?

by GreenSooner on Wed Jan 1, 2251 at 23:51:14 EDT

Of course they're going to make the Usage segment the MIDDLE. (none / 0)

Gotta keep those viewers/ratings in tune for the full duration of the convention (¬_¬)

boring. (none / 0)

so much for an energized, fresh attack coming out of the convention. this just makes veren look afraid.

by Chertoe on Wed Jan 1, 2251 at 23:51:14 EDT
[ Parent ]

Guys, what are we doing? (none / 0)

The media is going to tear Veren to pieces no matter what. Apparently DailyZars is determined to follow in their footsteps.

by Bepis on Wed Jan 1, 2251 at 23:51:14 EDT
[ Parent ]

What? (none / 0)

Unionists are supposed to be angry. This tactic is just legitimizing Augusto Acampora's constant attacks.

Don't let this make you less enthusiastic. (none / 0)

Guys, electing Usage Veren is the goal. No matter what. This is the most important election of our lifetimes.

No Dharma shoutout? (none / 0)

Every other party got one, even the SIGMACRATS! What's up with this guy tonight?

by hidenori on Wed Jan 1, 2251 at 23:28:20 EDT

Dude. I didn't like the speech either but this is a very dumb critique. (none / 0)

I genuinely have no idea who is even leading the Dharma delegation at this point since Culver is evading arrest, Hsu has been MIA ever since the incident and they haven't even announced who's giving the next speech.
I'm not ever sure who he would give a shoutout to.

by YoungTurk on Wed Jan 1, 2251 at 23:31:31 EDT
[ Parent ]

No, you're right. (none / 0)

This has been a rough speech. Like, oh my science. I don't care about your eye man can you just pledge to lock up the separatists already. THEY'RE GONNA SAY YOU SUPPORT CAGE NO MATTER WHAT, JUST DO IT ANYWAYS.

Autonomists are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are autonomists. -anonymous

Apparently having grown a spine, Koko railed against sectoralism and took a hard line against it.

by barnacle on Wed Jan 1, 2251 at 23:15:57 EDT

See this is a GOOD speech. (none / 0)

Was there some sort of psionic brain-swapping situation between him and Veren :p

Why did he actively complain about not being liked? (none / 0)

Nobody brought up politics at the conference or cares, it feels childish

Sectoralism is a declaration of war against the entire human race. We receive it eagerly, and we engage accordingly.

Dude, shut up (none / 0)

It was a good speech, he was trying to make amends or build bridges or whatever.
