See this adorable puppy? Osiris has too many of these! I'm going to change that.

What are the main issues I'll address in my campaign?

Unity: Did you know that holding hands and general unification can lead to an increase in bug spray inhalation? Exactly! Vote Syl for Pharaoh!

The Dog Emoticon: :puppy:

LOOK AT THIS HORRIBLE THING! UGH. I WILL REMOVE IT FROM THE FORUMS WHEN I AM PHARAOH.

Whale Hunting: Japan banned it! Japan hardly bans anything! They're known as weird for a reason! But they banned whale hunting? Didn't they? I don't even remember anymore. But we can ban it, because SYL PHARAOH 2016.

Motorcycles: We will have a motorcycle thread. It will make us the best GCR in the game. MOTORCYCLES. IN. THREADS.

Please post questions down below. If you don't have any questions, feel free to pledge your support for my serious campaign right here.

Now excuse me, I need to go kick a puppy while I make an evil laugh for no reason!

Is this the pot calling the kettle black?

Anywho onto syl. Why have you decided not to give this campaign the respeCT it deserves by actually posting a serious platform instead of a sylly platform of jokes? Why should we vote for somebody who doesn't have enough respect for the office to make a serious platform especially in this time of division?

Completely Relevant as a joke when Syl's title was Don't vote for Ridersyl. There's enough to jump down Festavo's throat, don't you think?

Syl:

1. Describe your past positions of leadership that make you feel you are ready for the top position in Osiris.

2. Given the recent events, do you think you have the temperament at this time to serve for Pharoah?

Don't be silly. You're both people, not kitchen instruments.

On to the inquiry; This is a completely serious platform, Festavo! Puppies, motorcycles, and whales? If these are not serious issues to you, then I'm sorry, but you're not taking Osiris seriously like I am.

Look at this and tell me if you think it look good: :puppy:

It's AWFUL! Talk about respect? Respect is removing this damn thing! SYL FOR PHARAOH 2016

1. I have lead the puppy-kicking club of the Nah'zee Party in Westeastern Ohio for 3 years straight (and four months), the local and leading motorcycle thread designer in NationStates 2.0, and I've also managed about three-hundred shopping carts at once. It's the real deal, I've gotta tell ya.

2. Absolutely! Last I checked, my temperament is at 98.6!

I...wow. You have no respect for the office of Pharaoh. This is a joke campaign. I just hope you don't end up like trump and gain momentum.

Joke campaigns are literally a mainstay of Nationstates politics. I myself have run more than I can count, and other major players who enjoy having fun such as Durkadurkiranistan have run dozens.

It's not a matter of "no respect", it's a matter of trying to lighten up what is clearly a very tense race. Obviously Syl isn't serious with this, it's a joke candidacy afterall. I therefore am not sure how this is at all similar to the Donald Drumpf campaign, which is both a very serious campaign that just takes incredibly extremist views with its matters, and still shows some amount of respect for the political process or it wouldn't be maneuvering it so well.

Anyways, Trump isn't the topic here, Syl is. I thought it was a great opening post and a rather funny joke campaign, and I fully commend Syl for running it and trying to give everyone some laughs
