Quantity is not a big deal.

I am more concerned with quality.

[The King]

jfree and I shared a lot of the same opinions. So we had a sit down and decided it was best for the zone if we united.

[The King]

Then let me be the first to tell you that most of the staff have made appearances on the Power Rankings as well!

[DraftBoy]

Ha that took a day less then expected

See, Bedard is the ultimate uniter... It's not a secret BF1 and myself have never really gotten along, but for this occassion, we've come together and joined forces to throw our support behind the best man for the job :up:

:bf1: :hi5: :bmn:

[Gunzlingr]

I like to think it is the old tyme combo of EE/Thurm of Gunz/Chern.

[BlackMetalNinja]

We maybe youthful, but we do have a great deal of experience behind us as well!

[Gunzlingr]

Power rankings that you decide on.

Either that or you are the ultimate sell-out.

Nearly 100,000 combined posts... almost 20 years of combined posting experience on this board...

We aren't the new kids on the block!

[The King]

Lets face it this election needed some excitement. And this team is the fire, under this elections ass!

[Dozerdog]

I like your Anti-whale vagina platform

[The King]

:rofl:

Power rankings that you decide on.

Dont you guys have an avatar to go protest?

[The King]

I like your Anti-whale vagina platform

Its an important one. And it often goes un-noticed.

[Dude]

Jealousy will get all you lesser candidates nowhere.

[mybills]

Dont you guys have an avatar to go protest?
You and BMN should trade yours.

[Gunzlingr]

Nearly 100,000 combined posts... almost 20 years of combined posting experience on this board...

Chern and I have over 2/3 that many posts, and there is only 2 of us compared to 6 on your staff. And we have nearly as many years posting experience.

[Dozerdog]

[RockStar36]

Boy, there is something to be proud of.

HEY GUYS! I have almost 50,000 posts about Dr. Who and the new Spiderman comic that is coming out!

I think having a full staff is important a lot of good ideas and its easier to branch out and reach the people.

[BlackMetalNinja]

Chern and I have over 2/3 that many posts, and there is only 2 of us compared to 6 on your staff. And we have nearly as many years posting experience.

So far all I've heard from you is just that... you two have been here from the start. You two alone are going to come up with new ideas to help make this place even better... or are you just going to stick to telling everybody that you've been here a long time now.

[RockStar36]

I think having a full staff is important a lot of good ideas and its easier to branch out and reach the people.

It probably doesn't hurt to have active staff members as well, not staff members that have already quit on the Zone once before.

[The King]

Lets just get this debate on the road!

[Gunzlingr]

Boy, there is something to be proud of.

HEY GUYS! I have almost 50,000 posts about Dr. Who and the new Spiderman comic that is coming out!

You are the ones that were bragging about post count as well as your posting experience, I just gave another point of view. Somewhat hypocritical if you ask me. That would be like me criticizing your camp for posting almost 100,000 posts crying about being jobless, problems with my girlfriend and her kid, pirates, or ****ty bands. I refuse to do that, as it gets us nowhere.

The best thing about all these attacks, is it shows what kind of people you really are.

[Gunzlingr]

It probably doesn't hurt to have active staff members as well, not staff members that have already quit on the Zone once before.

Speaking of quitting, I hear your vice president couldn't even stick to his campaign. 1 little sign of adversity and he goes running to momma Bedard. If this is how your campaign works, who are you going to run to when it really hits the fan?

the benefit to having you around would be we could ask you which direction to run.

Did you just post about how silly we were for attacking... then follow that with a post attacking one of our members?

Hypocrisy abound!!!! Now this is a true election!

[Dude]

We are pledging a clean campaign that will not attack any of the other candidates between the hours of 1AM and 7AM.

[Gunzlingr]

No attack necessary.

I just couldn't believe I was attacked for stepping down as mod by the campaign that had just quit their campaign. I thought it was ironic.

I dont believe jfree quit his campaign, I believe he built on it. Two people with like ideas trying to make a difference. Two minds are more powerful than one!

[Dozerdog]

I hate negative campaigning

I love monkeys and midgets.

More of that please

[Gunzlingr]

If you say so.

[Dozerdog]

If you say so.thanks!

Actually, I haven't been here from the start, and Gunz never made that statement. More fabrications.

Is avatar policing going to be one of your Zone Policies???

[Earthquake Enyart]

Wow. What a bunch of whiners.

I need no stupid giant staff. That's what the place has now. Less is more here.

[chernobylwraiths]

Is avatar policing going to be one of your Zone Policies???

I asked for a ruling and the zone spoke. Isn't that how democracy works? The decision was made and I abided with it. Is there anything else you would like to attack me for?

[BlackMetalNinja]

How is asking a question attacking? Tad bit defensive this morning are we?

[RockStar36]

Less is more here.
I'm assuming thats been your motto for years now.

[Bill Brasky]

Guys let's stop the fighting. Cripes!!!1

[Earthquake Enyart]

It's a shame that the mods and admins aren't up for a vote every year. MAybe you guys wouldn't be so smug.

[Dr. Lecter]

It's a shame that the mods and admins aren't up for a vote every year. MAybe you guys wouldn't be so smug.

Maybe we could also put the presence of posters up to a vote.

This is not a democracy. Nobody claimed it was.

If you don't like it, you can pick up your toys and run away screaming and crying like a 5 year old who did not get his way. I think you know how to do that.

[Earthquake Enyart]

Panties in a bunch Doctor?

:rofl:

[Dude]

If you don't like it, you can pick up your toys and run away screaming and crying like a 5 year old who did not get his way. I think you know how to do that.Or just create yourself another alias.

Whatever works.

Vote for Bedard

[Dr. Lecter]

Not really.

I am just realizing how much I missed you EE. You make life interesting.

[Valerie]

lol I'm pretty sure when Earthquake loses this election, he will disappear once again!!! and I can't wait to see him go!!! :up: How much longer do we have to wait to vote?

[chernobylwraiths]

How is asking a question attacking? Tad bit defensive this morning are we?

You have brought up my dislike the that avatar more than once and I haven't brought it up since it was deemed within zone guidelines. Plus, it was something I brought up to the staff, not my candidate.

Find me one other instance where I have said a word about it during this campaign... I triple dog dare you. You can't because it doesn't exist. In fact, I didn't even weigh in during the whole controversy itself!

[Michael82]

i cannot pull myself to vote for a red suxs fan:down:
thats my big problem too. :sigh:

I apologize, it wasn't you that brought it up the first time. I was wrong on that one.

It is a dead issue by the way.

[The King]

thats my big problem too. :sigh:

The team in which I root for doesnt impact my vision for a better zone.

[RockStar36]

The team in which I root for doesnt impact my vision for a better zone.

I'd like to note that the name of the site if BILLS Zone and it's mainly geared towards the BILLS and BILLS fans.

Bedard is clearly a Bills fan. Some could say he is more loyal than most on this board for having to be a Bills fan in Pats country. He could have easily jumped ship. That right there shows his devotion.

This message was brought to you in part by the people for Bedard for Zone President.

How did Bedard come to start rooting for the Bills?

[RockStar36]

How did Bedard come to start rooting for the Bills?

Should we review how we ALL became Bills fans?

[Mski]

Should we review how we ALL became Bills fans?

if you live in another teams "home market" then yes i feel that it should be reviewed briefly

[The King]

How did Bedard come to start rooting for the Bills?
The story to how I got to 18000 posts on a Bills message board is a long one for sure.

It came about when I first started watching football, they were the team. I was a ten year old kid getting into the sport for the first time. I tried to root for the Pats when I was older like maybe 16 or so but the fans are arrogant and think they crap ice cream. At the time Buffalo had Doug Flutie another guy I always rooted for but it was hard trying to watch Buffalo games living here and not having my own means... no Sunday ticket or anything yet. I rooted for Buffalo and against the Pats kind of silently until 2000, were I began to absolutely loathe the Pats, I passed the point of being civil. And while I felt for a lot of their fans who never saw a NE Championship I was rooting for St Louis very hard.

2001 had enough cash and I was old enough to go it on my own. Bought the Sunday ticket and have missed very few games since...

Hope that helps

[RockStar36]

Does that mean I have to explain myself as well?

I had thought the arrival of Bledsoe helped speed up your arrival as a Bills fan.

[Mski]

good story MBB:up: that does clearify the football aspect


still doesnt help the wrongfull basbeball alliance though

[chernobylwraiths]

Does that mean I have to explain myself as well?

You are close enough to the Bills market even though you are probably in Steelers territory.

[Mski]

Does that mean I have to explain myself as well?

if you feel the need to:idunno:, but you're not atop a ballot, and erie is a 'tweener town, of the few people i've met from there more are bills fans then steelers

[Mski]

if you live in another teams "home market" then yes i feel that it should be reviewed briefly

let me clarify.. i'm not questioning your fandom, just its origins... some of these stories may help sway potential voters.

[The King]

I had thought the arrival of Bledsoe helped speed up your arrival as a Bills fan.

I went to my first Bills game with a Bledsoe sign, and I spent 100 on a custom Bledsoe jersey. Then they changed their uniforms. But I was a huge Drew supporter no doubt.

:sadwalk:

[The King]

I actually think I still have my original post on the espn boards as to why Im a bills fan. Its like 2 pages long.

[RockStar36]

Actually this is a "Steeler" town but it's in the Bills market, technically.

And if we are gonna do this, let's do it right.

Gunz, explain yourself.

EE, explain yourself.

Playa, explain yourself.

Thank you everyone.

Vote for Bedard

[BlackMetalNinja]

I maybe a Bills fan in a foreign market, but I was born and raised in Bills country. From the time I started watching football it's been all about the Bills, this despite my father being a Rams fans! There has never been any question about who my team was in the least.

I make the trip out to a Bills Bar every Sunday the team isn't on locally and watch the games there, amongst Bills fans and love every minute of it. Even once the Bills are eliminated from postseason chances, I can't bring myself to truly support another team.

Hell, last year I made a trip back home to see the Bills opener and didn't even visit my family while in the area. 700+ miles, strictly for the Bills!

Gunz isn't in an NFL market, EE and Playa were both born here.

[Earthquake Enyart]

I am the only candidate who has seen a game in the Rockpile.

[chernobylwraiths]

I am the only candidate who has seen a game in the Rockpile.

I saw a baseball game there once.

[Earthquake Enyart]

OK, I'm the only one whose seen a Bills game in the Rockpile.
