Thief

Presidential Election 2012 - Thief Edition

Hello, my loyal subjects. For those of you who don't (or do) know, I am your current president of Thieves. I come here today to host my reelection campaign, as per @MrTouchnGo 's request. Unfortunately though, my right hand man @ksidirt has been banned for this event according to facebook.

Here are my general stances as Madam President:
-I support Thieves of all kinds except hackers. This includes but not limited to citizens who play for fun or play for damage.
-This year, I would like to negotiate with the Dual Blades. Not in terms of settling who can deal more damage as opposed to another Thief, but just unity in general.
-As a fun tidbit, I have experience in the current Thief class as well as other classes outside of it. Excluding Phantom, of course.

The reason I'm appointed in the first place is for moral support for Thieves who might have trouble with the class. For damage and everything else, please refer to the guides other Basilers have made for your benefit. If there is any confusion, please let me know.

-Madam President

[quote=S1lv3rw1nd]What do you suppose we do about the rising amount of poverty-stricken shadowers among the ranks? All these new people migrating from old classes believing they can start over in this land of opportunity. Would you restrict these immigration rates? Or do you welcome these incoming people?
And how do you feel about the equal rights fights going on right now? Regarding how we have not received a revamp ever since big bang, and now citizens are beginning to become irritated. What do you suppose we do to quell the dissatisfaction?[/quote]

We have to help them, of course. Not financially. I believe in giving opportunity to any and all thieves. Do not mistake this with handouts.
Whether or not the community agrees, I will not close the door on them. All are welcome and shall be deemed worthy or unworthy by their own actions.
I realize that our revamp is taking longer than the rest of the Maple world. However, it is coming. Any thief that is struggling, please hang on even if hope is all you have left. I am a president, but Nexon is of a higher power than me. All we can do now is wait. All I can do now is tell them this.

@JustGoof Rumor has it, he has broken into the safe of our very own Dark Lord. I'm afraid Pokemon will not be enough.

@ericness First and foremost, you must be a thief who will not abuse their power. Can you handle such a responsibility?

[quote=Kindless]@xVolcomStone: you are god of thieves. I think basically any basiler who looks at thief threads may not know ur IGN but EVERYBODY knows your avatar. it is... beautiful <3 it reflects the true meaning of what it is to be a thief. it may not be the best gear in the world, but it was at some point. and your wide insight of what the true purpose of being a thief is makes younglings from all around admire your every word. It is not about how much damage you deal, its about how much fun you can have, what you can be, who you are.

@Dorks you can be president if you want, but BuzzBladez will forever be God Of Thieves

[quote=Laguniroth]I reject your first point, but your second and third ones are pretty valid.

The day I let a gorram rutty dual blade tell me what to do...

@janny1993: (Wow.. Did you voluntarily name yourself "janny1993"? alright..) Anyways. While I am flattered that you consider me to be the "only problem between the db/thief community," to my knowledge, I have never met you, nor do I ever wish to. I am fairly certain as well that you do not know me, so I will kindly ask you to stop referring to me as if you do. (At very least, spell my name right. It isn't "Languniroth" hell it isn't even "Laguniroth". I'm Fhyl. You'd think someone with such a goofy ass name would be more considerate at getting other peoples names right.

@NynjaBev: I'm not really sure why you're making up stories about me. I've never met you. I would remember meeting such a conceited person. And hey, since everyone else is bsing on and on about their "rp character," this is mine. I give people like you who are full of themselves a hard time. Hope you enjoy.[/quote]

Again, you need to really calm down, the game is for fun. So what if 1 month of your overall game experience was ruined by some immature players, you need to wipe off the tears and grow up. Also, the remark about not letting a DB tell you what to do is pathetic, would it be less intimidating for you if i changed the pic to an aran or a marauder? Seriously the only reason the 'fight' between DB's and thieves is still going on is because of butthurt children like you who can't let go off the past. Good Day.

@ZeroxKenichi: Of course. In both Basil and Maple I tend to constantly change my main character. The people who know me will know where I am (mostly) and those that don't know me can ask me questions about me or whatever else they want. Granted that it's not too personal though.

@inemnitable: I am sorry for not coming out until now I now know that I have disconnected with my people. And I will prove to the best of my abilities that I do indeed have the qualifications to meet the standards of thieves throughout Basil. I believe I have made some headway in regards to one of my issues with the help of some kind people. The DBs have more or less welcomed my invitation this time around and are in the process of setting up their own government, and I am extending my arm to protect them with whatever power I have.

Which, to be honest, is just promoting the perks of their job without blatantly insulting another.

All other answers will come in due time.

@abilas26: I believe this guy you mentioned is only sexy up to his waist. Also, feel free to throw that butt balloon of yours to @MrTouchnGo.

@Laguniroth: But you don't acknowledge me as your president and I didn't push you to be a citizen of mine. I honestly don't know why you're here except that you like stirring up arguments, and it's pretty consistent when it comes to other threads as well. I also don't understand why I'm not allowed to judge on said consistency when I've only made one impression on you yet you're the one that keeps bringing up the fact that we don't know each other personally. If you actually read the thread, the only bold statement I made was being president. Or perhaps it's time for an edit since some people can just take my text for what it is.

@inemnitable: @MrTouchnGo deserves balloons to be thrown in his face and knees, not a presidency!

@zerostorm0: And how I see why some people have lost hope when it comes to the community. But as president, I can't do that to my people! Those that are in need of my services, that is.

And how is it BS? If it werent for people like you and @MrTouchNGo: () Role playing would work out fine. The idea of role-playing working on forums in this case is a matter of reality and fact. The opinions you make do not help and are barely valid considering you don't role-play/don't know how to role-play. You are simply posting waste.

@Laguniroth: I don't hate you or anyone else, really. I could say the same about myself. The thread wasn't showing meant to show a conceited part of me. In fact, in the end I do mention that I am willing to give some moral support for those who might be struggling with the class, while trying to be lighthearted about it. Just didn't expect people to blow up over this. So I have to admit it's partly my fault that my expectations got in the way

Going out of subject about my hair and supposed henehoeness is an attempt to start a flame war about nothing. I could easily tell anyone the story of why my hair is the way it is or what I've been doing in-game but that's for another time. What will I prove with that anyways?
Now, that being said I can't exactly control anyone. But anyone who feels he is insulting the DB class, report him or don't quote him at all. I've seen him in-game before and after the first impression he gave I want nothing to do with him. There are those types of people out there who are not flexible with opinions or just hateful and it's best for everyone if they were ignored.
The DBs are part of the community whether you like it or not and this is a joke campaign. I was trying to have a bit of fun but somehow only half the posters knew this wasn't serious. And to those people I thank, but to those who think I'm someone trying to inflate my ego - well I don't really have anything to give to you.[/quote]

Just as you are trying to have your bit of fun acting president, I am having my part of fun acting as the bad guy, but you wouldn't know would you? Because I didn't mentioned I was just "role-playing" as the bad guy who oppose the idea of [b]you[/b] being the president.

But instead of continuing "role-playing" as a president, you are passing this on as a "joke campaign"?

[quote=Dorks]@janny1993: If you read some comments they've turned to outright insults. So any issues regarding DBs and Thieves I will address. I don't mind that some people are announcing themselves dictators or will vote against me. So yes, I am asking people to leave just because they don't like the thread yet they continue to reply about anything other than the subject at hand.
Also, this is my first thread in a year+ as I have mentioned before. I comment but I'm mostly at the sidelines. If you did not know me before you will know me now.
@j0s3a4d: He's too young for me but won't accept that. [/quote]

Well as a president, a few insults is to be expected, if you can't even take 1 or 2 insults, you don't have what it takes to be a president.
If you want to start resolving the issues between Dual Blade and the thief community, then you can start with Languniroth or whatever he's called. I'm sure you've noticed him by now. He can be easily found in the dual blade community, always end up in a conflict with the dual bladers. By far, he's one of the worst dual blade haters I have seen out there. Other than that, there isn't really any problem with the dual blade community and the thief community.
And if you don't even consider dual blade as one of the thief community, then you're just the same as Languniroth, not being able to accept us Dual Blades as one of you just because we were released a bit later.
