The K.R.E. (Klub Rules Emily)

[Tea Ess]

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.

Ah, okay. I still have reading to do in the last few pages, so I missed that. Such a structure would also work. It would just mean replacing the leader/co-leader with you and Metal as co-Presidents. I'm not sure exactly how that would go, but we can definitely experiment with different things.

[Metal15]

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.

What site are you using to make it?

[SirWhit]

It depends on what you want. If you want a blog or some way to post news updates I'll most likely use Blogger with a custom domain.

And custom CSS

[Blitz]

I support co-leading. That way we also won't have a gap in leadership is one is busy.

[Mickey]

I have to go with Jh's it's great!

I like blogger. Go ahead and try it, and if it doesn't work out then we can try something else.

[ArnoldtheRubberDucky]

Have you visited our old site, Mr. WE? Perhaps it could serve as some inspiration and give you a standard to improve upon.

Oh, wow. Apparently the site does not exist. I logged into my account and it's not even there. This obviously has the fingerprints of ERK all over it! They must be tech-saavy computer hackers with a twisted desire for all Emily-hating websites to be burned to the ground. Oh, well. I guess you'll have to make a website, now.

[Gaberk]

huh? What just happened?

[SirWhit]

TL:DR; I'm designing the new KRE website.

[ArnoldtheRubberDucky]

Here's the official history of KRE, as chosen by everyone who matters:

It all started with a dream. ArnoldtheRubberDucky's dream. Call him CT, CT101, or Mr. Thinker at your own risk. He's ArnoldtheRubberDucky now, people, and he expects to be addressed as such. But that's beside the point. Ever since he was nothing more than a tadpole, ArnoldtheRubberDucky has always cherished a certain Christian radio drama within his heart. This radio drama, appropriately called Adventures In Odyssey, is a rare thing of beauty, virtue, and value in our corrupt and morally bankrupt society. But one day, ArnoldtheRubberDucky noticed something that was threatening his beautiful, virtuous, valuable Christian radio drama. Well, to be specific, it wasn't something. It was someone. It seems that one day when the AIO writers woke up on the wrong side of the bed and forgot to put their thinking caps on, they created a vile character with an equally vile name: Emily Jones. If you look up the phrase "town menace" in your trusty thesaurus, you will only see one result: Emily Jones. However, if you look up the name "Emily Jones" in your thesaurus, I urge you to peruse through the results. They will shock you. Here are just a few of them:

Threat To Civilized Society
Culmination of All Annoying Things
Harbinger of Death and Destruction For Poor Little Sick Puppies
The Annoying (Evil) One
An Easy (Yet Ridiculously Satisfying When You Finally Hit Her) Target
Friend Of Everyone Else's Enemies
Boxcar Children Impersonator
The One Who Stands Alone And Cries At Birthday Parties Because Everyone (Rightfully) Hates Them
A Piece Of Moldy Cheese Being Spat Out By Other Pieces Of Moldy Cheese As Those Other Pieces Get Stomped On By A Dirt-Inflected Piece Of ABC Gum Stuck To The Shoe Of A Mentally Deranged Person
The Biggest Mistake Ever Made

The thesaurus never lies, folks. Emily is not to be what she claims. ArnoldtheRubberDucky, being a scholarly intellectual who always picked the right side of an argument, knew this, and resolved to challenge anyone who didn't. He joined an AIO-themed message board for the sole purpose of converting every one of its members to loyal Emily haters. He was met with a not very nice surprise when he got there. His archnemesis Pound Foolish baffled ArnoldtheRubberDucky with his nonsensical logic and unmanly obsession with ballerinas' attire. ARD and PF quickly became sworn enemies. PF made the first move by starting an Emily Lovers Klub that barely deserves to be mentioned since it currently has no members and has been a complete failure in every possible way since its conception. A new amendment to the SS Constitution that outlaws all Emily loving activity will no doubt be made constitutional very soon. ArnoldtheRubberDucky laughed (loudly) at PF's illfounded optimism in thinking that anyone would wish to join such a klub, but even he had to admit, it wasn't a bad idea. ArnoldtheRubberDucky, being the most loyal Emily hater that there ever was and ever will be, took the initiative in starting ESK, which naturally stands for Emily Stinks Klub. The klub was immediately met with universal praise from the entire board and PF was left in ruin. The admins applauded ArnoldtheRubberDucky's decision and voted to make him the King of SS, an honor that he naturally took humbly. Under ArnoldtheRubberDucky's merciful rule, all Emily lovers were immediately banned indefinitely if they ever dared to voice their pathetic Emily-loving opinions, and KRE was always the No. 1 topic on Character Discussion, which basically means it was the only topic ever posted in. ArnoldtheRubberDucky was very pleased with this new series of events, but he was continually thwarted in his endeavors by a group called AFEC (Advocates For Emily's Change). This new group seemed to have found a loophole through ArnoldtheRubberDucky's wise and fair law banishing all Emily lovers: they didn't necessarily hate Emily, but they didn't love her either. ArnoldtheRubberDucky was confused, and whenever ArnoldtheRubberDucky gets confused, he makes a rash decision. So ArnoldtheRubberDucky decided to step down as Supreme Awesome Ruler King of ESK. His most loyal disciple, Whittifer, was devastated by this new development, and she took it upon herself to start a new klub that would carry on ESK's basic principles without ArnoldtheRubberDucky being involved. It was called TEHC (True Emily Haters Club). ArnoldtheRubberDucky didn't like this, not only because she had spelled klub wrong, but also because she was completely defying his ultimate rule. So ArnoldtheRubberDucky, being the just and fair ruler that he is, squashed her and her klub like a bug. The admins (who were no longer admins anymore, since ArnoldtheRubberDucky didn't like the idea of anyone outranking him) cheered him on, and he now had the entire board under his thumb. But unfortunately, ArnoldtheRubberDucky had to go for a little while, so he left his klub under the direction of his once trusted adviser Metal15. By the time ArnoldtheRubberDucky came back, he realized that Metal15 had an entirely different view of hating Emily than ArnoldtheRubberDucky, including changing the klub's name to the meaningless KRE (Klub Rules Emily). ArnoldtheRubberDucky decided that Metal15 was a total Benedict Arnold who wanted nothing but to rule the klub himself, and had no sense of what was best for everyone. So ArnoldtheRubberDucky did the only thing he could do: he accused Metal of blasphemy, paid off the jury, and banned him indefinitely. ArnoldtheRubberDucky, with no one left to stand in his way, can now finally get some peace and quiet, knowing that the board is more prosperous than it's ever been, all thanks to him. Praise be to ArnoldtheRubberDucky, our mighty ruler! May his name forever be synonymous with the legacy of Emily, the legacy of ESK, and the legacy of The Soda Shop Message Boards!

What do you guys think?

[Metal15]

O_o I think the last bit is fictional.

[ArnoldtheRubberDucky]

You're asking for an indefinite ban, Benedict Arnold. Anyhoo, that was fun to write. I hope no one takes it to seriously, but I also hope Mr. WE puts it up on his website.

[Doll]

And I wasn't included in this history? D:

[Rosy]

To be quite frank, you rather sound like a dictator, forcing the admins to put you in charge and banning anyone who so much as slightly disagrees with you.


Just saying.

[Mickey]

I don't read long post but what I did was good! We are going nowhere!

[Emma]

One more poem and I'll set up the poll. Then we can finally move on. The KREers (minus Sameriaxz. Sorry, but we can't take any chances with you tricky ERKers) will know what I mean by that.

I totally understand. I'm sorry you think that, but I'll come back later and ask again. Anywho, I'll just defend you for now. Since I'm not a part of your klub yet, I'll just agree with you.

Here's the official history of KRE, as chosen by everyone who matters: ......

Totally agreed. I just wish that I was a part of that history.

[truAIOfan]

Anyhoo, that was fun to write. I hope no one takes it to seriously, but I also hope Mr. WE puts it up on his website.

That must have taken you a while to type that! I did read it; sounds good!

[HomeschoolCowgirl]

I'm lost. I didn't even see UnderSeaseie's poem.

[ArnoldtheRubberDucky]

Well, since you're not supposed to vote for it anyway, perhaps it's best that you don't see it.

[Rosy]

I can't help but notice it is actually winning, though.
