Like you expected me to do otherwise?
And also, it looks like I'll be deleting a few members from the ERK list. Or perhaps I can just add myself to the KRE list, as you apparently don't understand the meaning of Private Messaging?
Ah yes, a war in which one side constantly hosts parties and the other side constantly plots.
But thank you, (and in reality, I honestly don't think I have the power to join the KRE group )
The usergroup of KRE. I have power to edit members of the usergroup ERK, but even being a mod, I don't believe I have the power to add myself to onto the KRE group.
In my earlier message, I threathened to joined the KRE group so I would receive any PMs directed towards the group of KRE. I was admitting that even as a mod, I don't think I have the power to add myself to the list. That's all I was saying.
Ah, I almost forgot about that. I thought it was a joke, as I didn't expect you to stoop so low just because I'm great at spying. Oh well, at least it's virtually impossible anyway.
Let's get back to business people! In a couple more days, I'll put up the poll Metal suggested while we're doing the drawing contest.
Also, on a slightly more major note, I would like to extend to ERK an invitation to stage a board wide debate between the klubs. Perhaps right here, at the Emily haters heaven that ERKers are welcome in as well! We won't have to be all online at once, so it'll be easy to schedule, but I would appreciate it if, if we decide to do the debate, no one posts any non debate posts in this topic while the debate is going on. Are ERKers game with that, or the idea of debating at all?

Yes, but this will give us the chance to finally refute each other's arguments (something, if you look, we haven't really done that much of, at least lately) instead of just endlessly pounding our own into the ground. I also believe that some of the newer members haven't gotten their say yet, so it'll be a good opportunity for them to voice their opinions. Also, I seem to remember that the other debate plans depended upon all those involved being on the board at the same time: this one doesn't, so we can pretty much start it anytime we want. You don't have to debate, but I'd like to see what the other members think of it.

"Emily sux."
"No she doesn't"
"Yes she does"
"No she doesn't"
Besides that, I think everybody's already given their opinions on why they think Emily does or doesn't stink.
I don't get the point of a debate either.. reading through just a few pages of the KRE and ERK threads gives a good picture of why people should or shouldn't be for Emily...
I would suggest coming up with something a bit more imaginative..

Fine. =P Forget the debate. Well, I asked Metal to come up with something bigger and, as you say "more imaginative" that we could do since he absolutely hated my idea that it might actually be too late to change, but anyway, he hasn't responded yet... so I think we should just do the coleader's coleader poll for now.

In the meantime, I'll get started on the KRE's website.
Alright, go for it. It'll be cooler for us to have two websites, anyway. That's just one more website than the ERK has. It's always been a secret source of pride to me that we had the website idea before the ERK, and now we can have the second website idea before the ERK.

Hmm. Rather than just debating Emily, it would be much more interesting to debate her performance in an episode, or compare her to another character. But agreed with Metal that debates are hard to schedule and actually do.
I think that it would be good to plan out the structure of the KRE and possibly define it a little more. Also, Metal, when I said I had no idea what the power structure looked like, I was thinking of the overall structure of the club. We have you as leader/president, but there's not much organization beyond that.
A possible way to organize things would be having you as the leader of the KRE, then having a co-leader, who would fulfill a function similar to the US vice-president. Other positions could include a secretary, for keeping track of who belongs to the club and PM list, and also working on record keeping for the club. Then, there could be an event organizer, who would try to keep the club active by thinking up and running club events. Another possible role that might be good is an ERK spokesperson/soldier. They would not only be in charge of making war against the ERK, but also ensuring that it doesn't get out of hand or annoy the ERK (too much). =p I'm not sure if this position would be good to start out with, however.
As the president, you would have the power to select a co-leader. They would basically be a fill in leader in the event that you are unavailable, and they would also be in charge of any tasks that you might delegate to them. In addition to that, they could also help draft a KRE code of conduct or something of the sort, that would define what it means to be in the KRE, and what beliefs are required or not required to be in the club. The other positions would be elected positions (by PM, to keep out any non-KREers). Not all of the positions are completely necessary to start with, so we might just have you, the secretary, and the event person to start with. Starting with too many positions could collapse the system. If having the basic positions is successful, then we could add or augment them as needed.

I would agree with this, but I thought that, at least for now, (I presented Metal with a deal that might change this very quickly), Metal and I were co-Presidents. So I think that we should run things together, sort of like Snowball and Napoleon from Animal Farm (though we all know how that ended). However, if everyone here agrees that Metal alone would make a much better President than the two of us, (there's a very good chance that he would) I'm willing to step down and perhaps be the secretary or something.
