Rebuttal Speech:

Hello everyone, I’ll state why I am the best candidate out of all the others.

I’ve been in the clan for 5 months, which is the shortest amount of time for a Senate. In this paragraph, I’m going to talk about Falmes. Falmes has been here since the beginning of the rise of FT, which is the main reason for her getting Senate. Falmes is definitely very mature (probably the most mature in the clan), and one of the most conscientious. But, out of the time Falmes has been in FT, she hasn’t really contributed a lot to the website, rules, news, or the Discord. So, I think it is kind of eccentric for her to make claims of how she can get clans to bond together, or to resolve conflicts, and this kind-of opposes half of her speech. For me, I’ve solved the war on Star Clan (in which I had made a deal to SxtyCat) and this solved their members’ mass-killing FT members (especially the newer ones). I’ve also neutralized the conflict between FTD (FT-Destroyers) and FT by making bonds with their members and their leaders. Otherwise, than that, Falmes is pretty much a pretty good person, and I have no problems with her.

Quacko has been one of the founding fathers of FT, which gives him the advantage out of all of us. But, saying that he’s “obviously” done most of the work is pretty much bogus, considering the most things he has done was all the way back in 2017, which most of the things back then are not applied today. Quacko stated that after the Pengu raid was over, the Cyberbullying & Anti-Doxx Law was made, but that is false. I was the person who made the idea and put it to action, after seeing how SxtyCat’s real name got doxxed, and of how the leaders of NEO were getting treated. I’ve taught FT how to dox, and I was the one to stop it. Quacko didn’t really take the Pengu raid to a stop (it stopped after he stated that he was going to ban all of us and send police). This obliterates Quacko’s raid claims. Quacko has also deleted the rules before, but he posted it back. Also, I think that it is mostly Pink Cup, Piggie, Future, and Falmes that keeps our Discord Server sane. Also (even if this is hypocritical for me to say), Quacko also WAS involved in the Pengu situation, since he told us and others about Pengu’s real name and address. He also didn’t really stop FT from doxxing, too. All of this is irrelevant to his claims. Lastly, as all of you know, Quacko doesn’t play a lot of erth.io, so it would be very strange for him to apply these changes (like training members, etc.) without him (or anyone maybe in that matter) to establish these. Overall, Quacko is also a pretty mature person, and he gives everyone a chance. Expect for the things stated above, Quacko is a really good person, but he can sometimes be contradictory.

I am also very active anywhere, I am also kind to others and put all perspectives into place. I also try to give everyone the best experience. Thanks for listening to my Rebuttal speech!

Opening Speech:

Hello, fellow members of FT clan, I’m Kn0rniuS (a Senator of FT since September 2019). I’ve recently decided to run for the Leader Election. I should be the Leader of FT because of the dedication I’ve put in the Clan (managing Discord, doing News, creating new laws, etc.), and what the future can hold to me if I can be the leader of FT.

One of the reasons I should be elected the Leader of FT is because of the amount of work and dedication I’ve put into FT. First, I have created satisfactory laws. For example, I’ve created the Anti-Doxxing and Cyberbullying Laws, which establishes the consequences of Doxxing (sharing very sensitive information) and Cyberbullying to make sure this won’t happen again (I’ve used to do this in my very early past, but I made sure to learn from my mistakes). Secondly, I’ve put a lot of time into the Discord and the Website of FT. For instance, I’ve been a Server Board Moderator, which means I make sure no fights happen, or that no-one else would get teased or bullied (and if this counts, I boosted the Discord). I’ve also been optimistic for members of FT, and I made sure that all could have another chance. For the Website part, I’ve done the news whenever Future is unavailable to do the news, and I’ve regularly moderated the website for mistakes. Lastly, I’ve made bonds with other clans. When I’ve made the Anti-Doxxing and Cyberbully Law, I’ve decided to make this for two purposes: to settle down the commotion inside the clan and to create bonds with other clans. Shortly after I’ve made this law, I’ve persuaded Star Clan (whose leader is SxtyCat) to allie with FT, even though at that time, Sxty didn’t like Future, or the clan itself. I’ve also strictened the consequences for killing NEO (New Eon Order) members, which stopped FT players from killing NEO members, resulting in NEO having a better bond with FT (and no, I didn’t create the treaty for NEO). Using the atmospheric quo in this paragraph, I can show how I’ve contributed to FT, for a time period of 5 1/2 months.

If I get elected for leader of FT, I can do great things for the future ( ;D ) of the clan. If I do get elected leader, I will DEFINITELY consider moving FT to other games (like deeeep.io, which we planned for a long time), and I’ll put that immediately to action if that gets voted. I’ll also start putting complaints to notice, and I’ll do something about that. I’ll also keep the FT Discord the same, but I’ll moderate the Discord each day, and make sure that our past toxicity is going to stay in the past. I will also code a website for FT, in which it will be easier to add news, and we can have our own custom domain.

In conclusion, if I get elected to be the Leader of FT, I can contribute a lot more to the clan. I’ll also put new laws into action, and I’ll make sure we can keep our bad past in the past. Thanks for reading my essay and I hope this can help you consider voting for me. Sincerely, Kn0rnius, Senator of FT.

Vouches:

• As a recently instated FT Senate member, I know Kn0rnius would be the best candidate to be leader because of his maturity, responsibility and his ability to deal with internal affairs and external affairs. // Piggie, Senator of FT
• My Reason why I would vouch for Knornius 1.) He is the most hardworking Senate in the Clan. He literally modified the whole website and help out with the acts to become a less toxic and less hated clan. 2.) He is my brother. This is a pretty bias reasoning. 3.) He is Indian which means he can make great Maggie. 4.) He is great eyelashes which means he can be very wise. // Lazorbak, Representative of FT
• I believe that Knorn is a hardworking and efficient person, judging from his actions in the clan. He is active, and tries his best to maintain the discord server. Additionally, he is on erth for a decent amount of time, as well as trustworthy to the clan and its members. I believe that knorn would be a good leader for the reasons above. // MagicKraken, Representative of FT

Hello, fellow members of FT! In this “speech”, you will learn why I am the best candidate for leader of FT clan.

First off, I was a founder of the clan. Only 2 members were part of FT for as long as I was (approximately 3 years): Future and Crab. The three of us founded the clan, and it only makes sense that one of the founders becomes a leader.

If you are in the FT discord, you know me quite well. However, if you are one of the newer FT members and are not in the discord server, you may have no clue on who I am.

Discord

My primary role in this clan involves the discord server. Here, I have obviously contributed more than anyone. I wrote the rules, the staff rules, and the punishment system, and have managed to maintain the discord in a stable state, despite the occasional mistakes made by some staff. I have also played a tremendous part in the server’s recoveries from raids. Throughout all 3 server raids, I have played a major part in the server’s recovery.

Some of you may remember the “Pengu” raid - this started a mass doxxing campaign on Pengu, which I sought to stop. After several announcements in the discord staff chat, this doxxing was stopped. This later led to the creation of the anti-doxxing and cyberbullying laws.

FT doctrine

Although I seem to be very inactive on erth, I play a big behind-the-scenes part. For one, I am essentially Future’s advisor. If it wasn’t for me, most of you would not be in the clan now. This is because Future only wanted a small group of players in the new, revived Ft clan. However, I managed to convince him otherwise, and told him to recruit everyone who wanted to join. This made FT the powerful clan it is now. Without me, FT would have been like “S” clan - a small group which would eventually quickly fall apart.

I have essentially pulled the strings behind the clan - I told Future how the clan should be structured, who to ally with, and who to declare war on. As you can see, this has led to the success of the clan.

You may have noticed the fate of all clans: rise and fall. However, with the system I implemented, the MIEA, the fall of FT is near impossible. The MIEA will significantly slow down such a fall and allow the leadership team of FT to stop the said fall.

Before FT was revived, I proposed many ideas to Future, such as the expansion to other games and an improved ranking system, which was postponed due to the lack of members.

Role in Erth

Most of the newer members of FT do not know my role in erth. However, back during the days of old FT, I played a major role in the establishment of the clan, fighting in the Kings, DD, and Royal clan wars.

I would also like to mention that at one point, Rococo, the developer of Erth.io, was considering making me a developer due to his inactivity. However, realizing I may not have enough time to contribute enough to erth, these talks about my becoming a developer of erth came to a halt.

Future of FT

If I am promoted to leader, I will ensure the completion of the following 3 plans:

1. Implement training programs

Our clan is around 2/3 noobs. It is important we make them into pros so they can actually win 1v1s and maintain FT superiority.

2. Establish a functioning MIEA

The MIEA is basically trash right now. I will get a list of loyal and active members that can spy and infiltrate, and use them to further FT’s superiority. I will become more involved in this too.

3. Establish FT superiority

We need to hurry up with the new rank system so we can organize members into squads and have orders given out to squads. This way we can more efficiently take down enemy clans.

Conclusion

As you have probably seen from this speech, I am clearly the best candidate for leader of FT. I already essentially play the role of a leader, although I do not have the official title, and the plans I have proposed must be executed. This is why I should be the second leader of FT.

• I believe quacko should be leader because of the things he has done for the clan and he is a mega awesome duck // Jexmas, Representative of FT
• He is quacko and has a point in his words. The only problem is that he is soooo "active". // Alive, Citizen of FT
