Welcome to the EElections! In this election cycle anybody can sign up for a party and fight to become the Official Not-President of Everybody Edits. Campaigners must fight for their place in the Everybody Edits White House (actually just a shed painted white) with campaign material, endorsements, debates, or whatever else you can think of.
There will be four phases to these elections:
Primary campaigning (March 24th to March 31st) - Everybody is allowed to participate in the primary campaigns and must run either under the Noubs, Benjaminsons, or IndEEpendents.
Primary voting (April 1st to April 3rd) - All forum users (including campaigners) are allowed to fill out a ballot to vote for their favorite runner. The Benjaminson with most votes, the Noub with the most votes, the top 2 IndEEpendentsm, and the next top person from any party will make it to the general EElection
General campaigning (April 4th to April 8th) - The 5 nominees continue campaigning, but this time for the General EElection to find out who becomes the Official Not-President of Everybody Edits.
General voting (April 9th to April 10th) - All forum users (including campaigners) are allowed to fill out a ballot to vote for their favorite nominee to become Not-President.
On April 11th I'll count the votes and a winner will be decided! The winner will get a neat presidential forum title and bragging rights.
Noubs: Noubs strive for a future of Everybody Edits the likes of which we've never seen, literally! Noubs mainly believe in making radical changes to the game that are focused on helping new players.
Notable opinions:
-Make more shop discounts
-Make campaigns easier
-Anti-trolling
Benjaminsons: Benjaminsons are purists. They long for the good old days of the Benjaminsen era of Everybody Edits. Mostly composed of veterans, they are looking for changes to be made to the game that favor those who put their time into the game over the years.
Notable opinions:
-Make rules for users more lenient
-Be more strict regarding staff mistakes
-Pro-trolling
Here is a more comprehensive list of opinions held by either party regarding a few issues. Feel free to read that to get a feel for either party.
You do not need to 100% agree with a party to identify as that party.
IndEEpendents: Don't like Benjaminsons or Noubs? Make up a party of your own! To be an independent, create your own platform on Everybody Edits policies and opinions to show where your party stands on the issues. For inspiration, here's a list of questions that you can think about regarding your opinions in EE:
(also keep in mind you're not running as an "IndEEpendent" necessarily, but a party you made up on your own)
(also you don't have to answer all these questions but you still can if you want)
Here's a couple guidelines for running:
1. Keep it civil. This is all for fun. Smear campaigns are allowed, but just no personal attacks on your fellow candidates. Saying things like "Bobithan will take away all of your Energy!" is allowed, but "Bobithan is a big dummy" is not. (Not to say it isn't true, though)
2. Follow forum and game rules while campaigning. I won't speak for moderation over ingame, but when campaigning here only bring it up when it's actually appropriate, like in casual threads or forum games or special EElection threads or signature banners. I'm not afraid of giving warnings for being off topic just because you want votes in a little mock election that doesn't really matter.
Additional information:
Debates will (probably) be held in the debate subforum between candidates! You don't have to participate if you're running, but it'll all be good fun. Hopefully.
Voting will be decided by the alternative voting system, where you rank your top 3 candidates rather than just voting on 1 candidate.
During the primaries you are able to drop out at any time if you wish to not be included on the ballot.
I think that's it.
Good luck!

how can we campaign on the forums besides sigs?
you can campaign as much as you want here and in casual discussion/game threads I guess. Also it's not like you are forbidden entirely from mentioning it in other threads, only just when you find it to be appropriate because off-topic rules still apply.
If you make cool campaign posters feel free to post about it in Creative too.
Just whatever is appropriate under forum rules really.
E: oh yeah and I'm also going to try hosting debates in the debate subforum for candidates to participate in, so look out for those.

Motto: "One People, One Game, One Leader"
Vice president: Ben
Greetings citizens of the world,
I would like to announce that today, I will start a campaign to run for the presidency of the white painted shed. I've been in this game for five years and let me tell you, I've experienced and seen lots of things change, lots of things being removed and lots of things being created, I've seen a lot of people come and leave. We, the veterans, have been loyal to the games for years and how do they thank us? They want to make all our hard work miserable, they want to take our trophies and give them to the immigrants. This is unpardonable!
We have helped to build the game since it was just dust, we brought a community with us and made this a warm place, we were everything that was good with this game, we were one!
But now? We can't even troll anymore! They have given the newcomers every tool possible to stop what once was a tradition! Look at the lobby, everything is full of poorly-done boss maps, curse tags, zombies versus humans, hotels and a bunch of useless robots!
Because of this, I've decided to raise my hand and do something about it, because this is the nation I loved and this is the nation where I want to stay! We all should unite as one once again to stop this piffle!
I'm gently asking you to vote for me, we shall make Everybody Edits arise from the ashes!
Our nation is like lava. On the top it is hard and hideous, but its internal fire cannot be extinguished even in one hundred years of coldness. So let's spit on the crust and go down, to the profundity!
Yours truly,
ZeldaXD

ok but make sure you introduce yourself and your party's beliefs and whatever. Something like Zelda's post, but since you're establishing your own party, you also need to state what your party is about. Or Bimps's post, thats fine too I guess

The Nerf party
We dedicate to the reason EE is alive, the players.
Heavily inspired by Bobithan's Shop Nerf topic.
The Nerf party believes shop prices should be reduced and more easily accessible and that more rights should be given to players.
Name change cost should be cheaper (seriously 50 gems?), prices should drop during certain times (like holidays) etc.
But on the other hand things like modtext and diamond blocks should at least be a contest prize, if anythng.
Slogan: Great machines need even greater parts.
How long will it take me to get banned again?
Place your bets right here.

i would like to run under noubs
we need close relative of sloth in the goonies progressiveness, new (but not neccessarily working) features and easy campaigns. so noobs can be happy and they feed our tresury with their money so we can fund war development in benjaminsonia and send our troops noobs to death work just because why not
my motto is: "if you fund us, we success"
when i will become a president i will make sure that ee can have more players and become more popular by making lots of easy and garbage campaigns and i will listen to noobs more than veterans
i will build a wall also and make a rule to ban trolling but ill secretly tell mods not to enforce it
vote for me!

My fellow smileys,
I am announcing today my candidacy for the Offical Not-President of Everybody Edits.
Since February 22, 2011, I have toured every world and I have talked to noobs, and pros alike, in all walks of life. My candidacy is therefore based on the belief that I know what the majority of players want.
I believe the people deserve better, and as a member of the aspiring United Big Spenders Party, I can give it to them. I am therefore announcing my intention of filing in the boss to code primary, and I shall announce my plans into the other primaries as those dates come closer to the present.
For two years, I have been in the service of Everybody Edits, residing as a moderator. I have experienced first hand the hard work that is required to fill a job such as this.
It is with great joy, and no doubts, that I begin my campaign for the white painted shed.
Join me in this EEndeavor.
JaWapa,
This Time, It’s Personal

THIS POST WAS MADE BY BIMPS, ON MY BEHALF, DURING THE TIME MY CAMPAIGN WAS SUSPENDED
Greetings,
Today, I announce a change candidacy. I will no longer be running as an indepeendent, rather I will be running as a benjaminson. I have come to realization that many of my ideals, are shared with that of the benjaminson party (I will go into greater detail later). I had plans of continuing out my campaign as an indepeendent, as I knew it would spark controversy if I switched. However, I can no longer sit back and watch as ZeldaXD puts forth no effort, and still places in the general election. This Hitler 2.0 candidate is not putting an ounce of effort in, yet, he is making substantial progress to the white painted shed. We cannot allow this, Everistan. Our country is broken. We need to fix it. It will not be able to heal if we are not making people prove their worth as leaders.
JaWapa,
Join me in this eendeavor

OUR SLOGAN:
"Brok ur leg?
Vote for egg!"
WHO ARE YOU, AND WHAT DO YOU DO?
The Egg Party believes equality, freedom of speech, and imperialism to be the most important things of humankind. We will provide multiple safe havens and remove crime once and for all.
The Egg Party believes the perfect government shall be separated into five groups:
HOUSE OF LIVINGS
This house represents the people, and all members in this house are from the proletarians. They mend problems dealing with society and human rights.
HOUSE OF TRIUMPH
This house is responsible with for the military and expansion of the Empire. Until everything has been conquered, this house will exist eternally.
HOUSE OF WORKS
Not to be confused with the House of Livings, which deals with the working class, the House of Works handles all pieces of literature, music, film, and art. It is up to them to decide whether a work should be released to the public. They promote safety and well-being of the people while simultaneously removing all paraphernalia that may induce harm to the Egg.
HOUSE OF PROSPERITY
This house manages wealth, trade, and the economy of the Empire. It is them who make sure you receive your weekly pay. It is them who make sure the Empire is in stable condition.
HOUSE OF EGGS
The House of Eggs represents political activism and Egglord himself. They are the highest of the five houses, since they deal with a holy subject. All eggs are produced by this house and distributed evenly to the people, no matter their rank in the hierarchy.

hello my fellow ee players
my name is bimps. hi im bimps. you may know me as that guy that always gets banned from the forums, or that guy that made a alternate chatroom to #eeforums
what is the death party? well let me first ask you a question. do you still play ee? i think many people here dont, however, for those that do: how often do you play it? what do you do? do you make levels? play them? or do you just sit there and chat...
i think ee is broken. it started out as a coding test for a dood named chris. it then got like pretty popular because wooahhh building things with blocks??!?!!? insane dood
but now, 6 years later, the possibilities of ee have been ran dry. new bots barely pop up. no unique level types anymore. dropping player counts
if i am elected as official not-president of ee, my first and only order will be to kill ee. destroy all of it. but keep the fourms and irc up because those are cool.
now i know many of you dont agree with me, which is stink!!, but if you do have questions, ask me on irc in #eeforumsanarchy on the rizon server
#makeEEdeadagain #bimps2k16
thank you
EDIT: all issues listed in OP do not apply to this party because all will not matter if im elected :^)

Four score and six years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all cats are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place fur those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
~ General Abraham Lincat Whiskers
Running as a moderate Noub I, General Abraham Lincat Whiskers, promise to address the real issues of this country we know as EE. Now if we could please paws fur a moment of silence as we listen to the national anthem... meow... How purrfect! Now then... onto my platform.
The Issues
Should name changes cost money?
I hack up a hairball at the thought! A name change should not require your paltry human dollars, but instead it should run on a timer. Fur example, a person can only change their name, if they are willing, every 3 months or 6 months etc... This would allow users to keep their names relevant, without having to deal with asking their parents fur a credit card.Should people be banned for trolling?
Of course not! This is not to say that I support trolling, but rather that such a practice is so commonplace that if it were to be bannable, the already dwindling population of EE would suffer a huge toll, further decreasing the amount of people who play. The less people who play, the smaller the community becomes. And if the community is too small, or selective, EE as we know it would eventually die out.Should ingame moderators be appointed by the community?
The developers, programmers, and communicators of EE should be chosen by the current staff based on their skillset and/or past and current contributions to the community. That being said, if a moderator is appointed who is found to be generally unpopular to the community, I think he/she should be subject to impeachment, provided that sufficient evidence is provided to prove that they are not qualified to carry their role.Are there too many staff members?
I do believe the game may currently benefit from having more staff members.Should chat cost money again?
As our Catstitution states, we should all be entitled to the freedom of speech. That being said, if that freedom is being used to incite harm or violence against others, that freedom should be revoked irreparably.Are bots a valuable addition to the game?
Bot Assisted Levels provide a unique gameplay experience that cannot be provided through normal means. They provide interactive, and re-playable levels that can be enjoyed time and time again. Bots are not only a valuable part of the game, but a necessary one.Should staff be kickable from worlds when off-duty?
I, General Whiskers, do not believe in kicking such valuable members of our community even if they are off duty. That being said, if a world is set to the 'private' option, I do not believe staff members should be allowed to enter without good reason. Fur example, if there is a reason to believe that there is explicit/hateful content being shared in that world.Should EE focus on its role as a platforming game?
Being a sandbox game, EE has a multifaceted community who contribute in a multitude of ways. To say there is a proper way to play defeats the purpose of the game, and that is fur everybody to edit. EE is as much of a platform game as it is a community of people who are looking to socialize. Through this socialization we create our own game, our own fun, and our own projects and adventures. Whether that be through the literal building of levels, or just hanging out and having a good time, EE is what you make it. That is why I believe it's important to focus on the social and platforming aspects equally.Should the shop be more easily accessible to new players with discounts and bonuses?
Absolutely.Should exclusive smileys be made available again through new opportunities?
Seasonal smilies such as the Grinch and Fanboy, I don't see why not. Contest smilies such as the Easter Bunny, and Pumpkin is where I'd draw the line. People who have won their smilies fair and square deserve to have their talents recognized, and it would not be fair to them if the prize they worked so hard fur was given to other players.Should staff be more seriously reprimanded for giving away free items at no personal expense?
I believe any staff who have broken the rules of their contract should face the consequences of their actions.Should the rules be made more lenient than they are today?
I believe the current rules are sufficient. Arguably, the staff could be more lenient on the issue of swearing, and what is consider 'suggestive' art (artistic nude). Though for the most part these issues are few and far between, andt hey are not prevalent enough that I would argue for a change in rules.Should updates focus more on tweaks and fixes or new content?
Smaller updates should focus on bug fixes rather than content. It does not matter how much new content is added if it doesn't work. Larger updates should focus on content. New content is what keeps some players interested in EE.Should more easy difficulty campaigns be introduced to the campaign roster to balance game difficulty?
Campaigns are designed to be especially useful to players who are new, as it makes it easier fur them to increase their energy and access new content. Therefore there should be more easier campaigns to help new players learn simple gameplay styles, and to become accustomed to the controls of EE.Should bugs in the physics engine be fixed, even if it breaks some minigames?
Yes, because changing physics to fix bugs/add new content ultimately benefits EE in the end.Should more tools be added to the game to mitigate trolling?
I believe there is currently sufficient anti-troll tools. My one suggest might be to add a blacklist tool. Fur example, if a player consistently joins with alternating accounts to spam, the level owner should be able to permanently ban them fur the current building/hosting session.Should world text be made available to everybody, rather than just staff?
I believe text should be made available as a cash purchasable item for world owners only. While text can be used to increase quality worlds, it can also be misused to incite harm and violence against others.
