Let's pick a day and do a march on SW with 1ks of Ron Paul guild members.

Let's pick a name for the guild too!

Edit:

OK, without any formal agreement, here is what I propose:

What: We start in IF and march to SW. (Is there a court house in SW?)
When: News Years Day at 8:30 pm EST (We won't move out until 9:15 pm EST, this will allow others to join at last min)
Where: IF gates on the server Whisperwind

We'll need escorts. Mainly DPS and Healers.

Does anyone know a guild on Whisperwind that could help sponser?

Concerns: Getting banned. Probably true but I can't see them giving more than a day or 2. Worth it to me.

and yes i've met some people in WoW that love ron paul. But I also met this asshole with the character name "ronpaul" and he goes around touting conspiracy garbage extremely sarcastically in the barrens channel and trade channel, it's a blatantly obvious smear attempt.

he would say stuff like

"help im going to be assasinated the evil jews are out to get me"

"anyone else here a member of the kkk?"

"911 was an inside job!!11"


and this guy was like lvl 63 or something. I mean I can see being dedicated if you're a ron paul supporter, but that dedicated to smear ron paul like that? wow

Alright I am in. The risk of getting banned is extremely slow as long as we don't try to crash the server or spam the channels. We should do it on several servers since it is relatively easy and many wow players would find it fun. Have like only 10% talk in /yell and the rest with white text.

edit: we could also pvp because trust me we will be dying alot. Nothing like 10 lvl 1s trying to kill lowbies that attacked them.

Good question. Well, yeah the majority of people are in that Shattrath city in outland, but obviously we couldn't all get there since we would all be lvl1.

PvE server obviously. Timezone (EST,PST,CST) doesn't really matter except for what time we hold the event, we want to do it at a time of day when the most people are online, usually that's around 9pm EST I find.

I think one server would be adequate. I think it would have more impact having 1,000 supporters all storming stormwind on one sever than having 100 supporters all storming stormwind on 10 servers.

Of course if we're successfull, we can always do it again on another server, perhaps even a third or fourth time after that on 2 more servers.

TheNewYorker
12-26-2007, 02:18 PM

They can see our guild name. And our usernames. The point is, we are marching towards stormwind, we want the most peopel to see us, so we need a server that has lots of alliance.

Biggest server loads are on Saturday afternoons, might be good to choose that as a day for maximum exposure.

We'll go with Whisperwind server.

Someone choose the starting race that starts us off closest to SW, I haven't been back into the old world since BC came out.

Also please don't pick evening times- this is when most of the PVE raiders are busy in 25-mans.

Servers can handle the load now. It barely effects the raiders also. The only problem is spamming.

Then Whisperwind sounds good, it has medium pop and a lot of alliance.

edit: I would like to suggest we make our selves PvP enabled. We will die alot anyways might as well try to get some low level alliance into fighting us.

edit2: Also we could make some alliance characters with names like "MutatedZombie" to give an occasional Yell in thee city.

Here's what I've come up with so far:

Server: Whisperwind (CST, PvE, has highest alliance population of any server)
Time: On a Saturday Afternoon (most people online)
Race: Undead, Trolls, or Orcs (they have the zeppelin right in the starting zones which take you right to stranglethorn vale, which is not terribly far from stormwind)
Guild Name: Undecided (maybe "Zombies 4 Ron Paul" and we could all be undeads? lol)

Why would they shoot it down? I think Blizzard encourages world events and interactions as long as it doesn't impede other people's gameplay. I would highly encourage people not to spam messages or SELL ANYTHING (including Ron Paul for President). The names and the guild can do the talking themselves.

Well I'm already a paid subscriber and play it for fun every month regardless so it's no extra money to me. I just hope they don't ban me.

I doubt bans for spamming and stuff like that are pemanent, probalby only a day or week ban.

And yes Blizzard would shoot it down that's why we have to kind of keep it to these forums and not really spread much about it on the official blizzard forums.

Also, we need some people that are good at making screen recordings, to video tape all this, and edit it together, for we can youtube it all, maybe have a press release.

I remember when warriors were protesting changes of some sort the people who led the group got permanent bans. The people who joined in got suspended for a few days I believe.

In WoW world this is a form of civil disobedience so be prepared to pay the consequences of doing this. It could be nothing, a 1, 2 or 3 day suspension or a permanent ban. I just cannot risk the chance of getting banned, so I will have to sit this out. :o

I noticed the level 70 guy named Ronpaul is a senior sergeant, meaning he's been playing since before December 06, when the patch came out a few weeks before BC was released.

They have added new things recently because of all the gold spammers using trial accounts.

I took that information directly off of blizzard's site, so I assume it's accurate.

Trial accounts can no longer invite people to groups for instance.

LOL this sounds like FUN. I sure hope we won't get banned!

So we're going alliance, right? What route are we taking to SW? There's a lot of high lvl territory between the two, unless we take the tram.

I'm going to level up a tailor as high as I can in the next few days and try to make as many Red White and Blue clothes as I can. If folks want to send mats, that'd be great. This way we can get as many folks wearing red, white and blue as possible. Maybe a few others want to do that too? Will send you her name as soon as she's created.

Okay I just made a character, her name is Lettucebfree. Everyone feel free to put me on their friends list. Soon as I get her up to LVL 5, I'll get her into SW for tailor training.

For tailoring she'll need mostly linen to start, and then wool (both are drops from humanoids) if I can get her high enough to do that by then. Also feel free to send money for thread and dyes. I can get red, white and blue clothes made at fairly low levels. It'll all be cloth, so we won't be armored well, but hey, it's the look that counts!

I noticed the level 70 guy named Ronpaul is a senior sergeant, meaning he's been playing since before December 06, when the patch came out a few weeks before BC was released. So, either he was a Ron Paul fan for him being in Congress, or Ron Paul is his name in real life, and it's just a coincidence. <_<

It's not free - about $15 per month. You can get on with a free trial, but that wouldn't let you join the RP guild. However you can just get 1 month's subscription and then cancel after that, if you'd like to join the party.

We should probably also make a list of media to contact - both gamer sites/magazines and political ones, and give them a heads up - but not so much advance notice that they or WoW can mess with us.

Lets also get the guild started and get a bunch of folks online before the date so we can network there as well. I think we need 40 or so signatures to be a legit guild.

I don't have any cash in the game yet so we may need to start early or get some sponsorship from a guild already on the server.

I don't think it costs us anything to start a guild, we just need enough people to sign on to it.

If the whole idea is to do a march as Ron Paul supporters, I think we have to have our own guild - we just need to decide on a name and get everyone to sign on and join. Not sure why we'd need another guild to help.

I think we do need a guild - since we're more likely to get banned if we do lots of chat channel spamming, having a guild name flying over our head gives us a way of getting our message across without getting in trouble. Naturally anyone with a trial account is welcome to walk alongside. (But if you can afford it, pay for one month.) Also it gives us more ability to have variety in our names, since there are only so many Ron Paul name combos we can come up with. I'd suggest if you can't think up a Ron Paul name then go with something reminiscent of the principles of freedom and liberty, or based on the names of the heroes of 1776.

Oh it occurs to me - when you sign up for a paid account you get your first month free. Not sure what happens if you cancel before the free month is over - whether you get charged or not.

Also it would be nice if we can come up with a guild tabard, but I think that does take money (I recall my guild master on another server saying it was somewhere around 25 gold) and I think it's a gold each to purchase it.

This is a good question - a little while ago we had thought to start in westfall, go to goldshire, then to stormwind and end in ironforge. But now I see that wowinsider says we're starting in Ironforge (which is fine with me).

The biggest problem is that the route between Ironforge by land is very dangerous to all us lowbies. But taking the tram seems sorta pale.

Suggestions would be good, and if anyone can get some high level characters to help escort us, we could do as originally planned.

# Rules Related to "Chat" and Interaction With Other Users.

Communicating with other Users and Blizzard representatives is an integral part of the Program and is referred to in this document as "Chat." You understand that Blizzard may record your chat sessions and you consent to such monitoring or logging. Your Chat sessions may be subject to monitoring, logging, review, modification, disclosure, and/or deletion by Blizzard without notice to you. Additionally, you hereby acknowledge that Blizzard is under no obligation to monitor Chat, and you engage in Chat at your own risk. When engaging in Chat in the Program, or otherwise utilizing the Program, you may not:

1. Transmit or post any content or language which, in the sole and absolute discretion of Blizzard, is deemed to be offensive, including without limitation content or language that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, sexually explicit, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable, nor may you use a misspelling or an alternative spelling to circumvent the content and language restrictions listed above;
2. Carry out any action with a disruptive effect, such as intentionally causing the Chat screen to scroll faster than other users are able to read, or setting up macros with large amounts of text that, when used, can have a disruptive effect on the normal flow of Chat;
3. Disrupt the normal flow of dialogue in Chat or otherwise act in a manner that negatively affects other users including without limitation posting commercial solicitations and/or advertisements for goods and services available outside of the World of Warcraft universe;
4. Sending repeated unsolicited or unwelcome messages to a single user or repeatedly posting similar messages in a Chat area, including but not limited to continuous advertisements to sell goods or services;
5. Communicate or post any user's personal information in the Program, or on websites or forums related to the Program, except that a user may communicate his or her own personal information in a private message directed to a single user;
6. Use bots or other automated techniques to collect information from the Program or any forum or website owned or administered by Blizzard;
7. Harass, threaten, stalk, embarrass or cause distress, unwanted attention or discomfort to any user of the Program;
8. Cheat or utilize "exploits" while playing the Program in any way, including without limitation modification of the Program’s files;
9. Participate in any action that, in the sole and absolute opinion of Blizzard, results or may result in an authorized user of the Program being "scammed" or defrauded out of gold, weapons, armor, or any other items that user has earned through authorized game play in the Program;
10. Communicate directly with players who are playing characters aligned with the opposite faction (e.g. Horde communicating with Alliance or vice versa); or
11. Impersonate any real person, including without limitation any "game master" or any other Blizzard agent or employee, nor may you communicate in the Game in any way designed to make others believe that your message constitutes a server message or was otherwise posted by any Blizzard agent or employee.

So in short, no spamming any Ron Paul messages in any city channels, do not respond to the unpleasant remarks we will undoubtedly be getting.
Being guilded in <RP Revolution> with your unique Ron Paul type name should be enough to make our point.
Obviously talking to people is ok, just remember to be friendly and I think we'll be alright.

It gets even better. Another member is recruiting on the horde side. Only Ron Paul could join both horde and alliance together in peace!

To join as horde look for RP Horde as the guild name and RonPaulHorde as the guildmaster.

What are the odds that our accounts will be banned if we behave ourselves and stay off the main chat channels?

I don't have my account activated right now, but I had planned on re-activating anyway in the next day or two so the timing is perfect. I haven't messed with guilds too much, so this is probably a pretty lame question. But what is the best way to find an existing member so that we can be invited? Just roam around IF looking for existing members?

The odds are slim, based upon the ToS and other bannings. We would first get a warning and worst case we might have account suspensions but I really doubt it.
In the end I have no idea though, Blizzard could be staffed by Huckabee supporters :eek:

Hey, also guys. We need to try and do it in a way that isn't spamming or invading anyone. I know as a gamer I would hate a bunch of spam. So we need to make it so it's fun for us but doesn't make anyone feel their time away from reality is being invaded by us.

For example we wouldn't be advertiseing or anything but rather the "Who ya gonna call" "Ron Paul" thing or something similar. I mean we already have people planning to raid the citys when we are doing it... So we need to make it seem like we arn't spambots advertiseing a website or something. Just supporters haveing fun.

Don't worry about the WoW/Blizz people. Here:
http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Paul_hordes_to_descend_on_World_1228.html

WoW Insider, who first reported the story, says political activism should have a home in the game.

"Now, we here at WoW Insider are politically neutral when it comes to Warcraft, so we won't advocate joining these guys (and we also won't advocate forming a 'Horde for Hillary'guild to oppose them)," writes the blog's Mike Schramm. "But we are 100% in support of bringing widescale opinion expression of any kind into the game itself, so this should definitely be a fun event."

We are already generating widespread FREE PUBLICITY for WoW. They don't run those tv commercials with William Shatner and Mr. T for free, ya know. They want this publicity.

We're really encouraging you to come over to Whisperwind for this one - a HUGE showing on one server will make better press than several smaller events.

Also, please, no spamming the chat channels!

A project sub forum would be awesome!

Also a heads up for people:

To get the biggest showing possible PLEASE make a character on the Whisperwind server - 10 small rallys will get less press than one monumental one.

Most likely you should make your character a Human, Dwarf or Gnome for the closest starting point on the Alliance side. (On the Horde side, not sure.) If you make any other character race, you may have a challenge getting to the starting area on time.

If possible, PLEASE give your character a name that has something to do with Ron Paul, the Founding Fathers or the concepts in the Constitution, etc.

Please don't spam the chat servers. Those of us who play regularly want to keep our accounts, and don't want to give anyone a reason to get us banned. Nor do we want the march stopped.

Any Guild member can invite, so if you don't see me on, ask someone else - On the social tab look up "who" and look for RP Revolution in the guild name.

We'll be starting the march in Ironforge at 8:30 pm EST. From there, we'll work out the route, but we're hoping to meet up with the Horde for part of the march. Please no PvP - the message is Only Ron Paul can bring together Horde and Alliance!

Ok, no one is mentioning this, so I will post it here. Huckabee apparently not only petitioned to get a multiple rapist go free, but wrote him letters of encouragement, while trying to hide the letters his victims were sending him to protest his being released. Huckabee wouldn't even return their calls, and as a result of Huck's work, he was released very early from a 50 year sentence. He then proceeded to rape and murder two women. Turns out, one of the young girls he had raped was a 17yo cousin of Bill Clinton's. Huckabee has been trying to bury this for years and had the letters the women wrote to him well buried. They were found, however, and the media is doing a fine job of not reporting it. The story needs to be heard:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/12/04/documents-expose-huckabee_n_75362.html
