And guess who will take your place then ?  :twisted:

Finally, there's a chance for me to step upwards ! No more silly gently gentleman leader, i'll be the most terrific captain we ever had. And then, and then.... i'll kill the boss and takes his place ! AH AH AH AH !

Good times ahead. :twisted:

In that case, I need to find someone with an accent like me in order to keep up this "gently gentleman leader" thing, I will make sure that I am replaced (if I ever get killed or leave) by someone who is more British than I am. I will employ Tony Blair to run the Guild just because he is seen by the rest of the world to be that sort of person.

They are brilliant xD I have to say I voted Tory (Conservative) but only because we don't have a representative in our constituancy.

British voting rules are really really weird.

Not really, the biggest party with the most ''votes'' that is... Every county choses there lets say ''mayor'' now the party with the most ''mayors'' win the goverment, but not by 1 ''mayor'' or two... no it has to be over 5-6, if that dosen't work, they go to votes and if that dosen't work they have to team up with another gov, so this time Conservatives had to team up with the Lib Dems, of course I can't vote yet, since I haven't been in the country for 5 years D:

Whats wrong with simple Majority votes?
Electorates seems so weird. (Same goes for US, don't even get me started).

It's to prevent one single "faction" if you will from being in power when the majority of the country didn't vote them in.

Basically, the way that the British politcal system works is as follows:

Each constituancy has their candidates and each person votes for their local MP.
The PM with the most votes in that area, wins a seat in parliament.
If a "faction" has more than 51% of the votes then they get power over the country with their Prime Minister at the head.
If however, like what happened in the last elections, there isn't a 51% majority, then the larger powers are able to "team up" and with the say-so of the Queen (yes, she does something every once in a while) it is allowed if it above 51%. So, this time round we have the Conservative head while having the Liberal's being David Cameron's bitches (Nick Clegg has been done over and none of his promises are getting through since Camerons manifesto/manefesto goes against most of the stuff.)

(The Queen can also disolve the government and take full control herself, but that won't happen unless David goes mental and bombs the US or something. The Queen can call for a re-vote or something similar that basically means that the government has to be voted in again.)

Each PM stands for 5 years unless they want out before hand, like Tony Blair did, who ran off and tried to become EU Overlord.

Also, most of the south votes Conservative, most of the North votes Labour, Liberals are fairly "low key" and are deemed the next major party but still don't do as well as either of the other two. There are lots of smaller parties as well, such as the "Monster Raving Looney Party" and the "British National Party" (The one that basically wants to legalise pure Brits to run around the streets shooting black people & anyone not born in Britain and deporting them. Needless to say, the MRLP has more chance of being voted in than them!)

From what I understand, the reason behind this majority of majorities thing is to stop something like how einstein got into power whereby he won by a majority, although only by himself, not by constituancy votes. Otherwise there would be a bigger chance of Nick Griffin (BNP head guy) getting into number 10.

There is your brief overview of British Politics, I know no more but although it sounds pretty sad me being able to write that down, if you're at voting age in your country, i'm sure you can actually sit there and think about how yours works! ;)

Tennenoth should get a prize for making long and well written interesting posts. I like him, we should keep him.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Took some time out from random work and decided to change around my avatar and signature. I've had the eagle and crosshair for a long time, (I mean, pre-cRPG, I made it originally about 5/6 years ago when I was playing CoD2) and i've always liked it, but I "Tenne-fied" it.

Secondly, my signature, now I was really pleased with the way this turned out when I first made it, change the the text to read Guard BD Tenne as opposed to Guard Tennenoth, and I "Tenne-fied" the archer on there since it's been a long time since I used a barbutte/open sallet style helmet due to the weight nerf and I started using my iconic straw hat. My graphics editing skills are poor, I don't have photoshop but I took a stab in the dark and although I think his head might look a little small, i've done the following:

(click to show/hide)

(click to show/hide)

I'm thinking of fiddling with the text again just to get it near enough what it was last time with the new, bolder font. The "BD" looked a little too fancy and so I think the new font rather reflects the sharp edges of an arrow. (I made that up as I was typing! :S)

EDIT: If people think the straw hat version might look good if done by someone a little more professional then I would be in debt to whomever adds one more effectively! ;) The original file link is here, just save as: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m295/Tennenoth/GuardTennenothSig-2.png

I just need someone to do the straw hat better than an amateur. I am mildly colourblind & have never been the artistic type, i'd rather write a program than use paint, although oddly my handwriting is quite neat... But anyway!!!

Thank you! :D
