Y'know, I could spend hours talking about how q!Baghs and q!BBH's plans have failed since the moment they started planning it. I could explain how the Federation, as it stands right now, is an unstoppable force, how they have limitless resources to prevent any of the players to try to break their perfectly crafted system, how we've seen them shutting down each attempt with brute force. At the end of the day, as defeatist as it may seem, it's the truth. Besides the Federation, who else has the same resources? Who else has the power to bend the rules at their very whim?
So why would you choose to throw away the chance to have an iota of said power and resources? Why would you choose to keep the status quo of being completely powerless instead of taking advantage and using the system in your own favor?
"But the Federation will be using the President, they're gonna be just a puppet." They already are puppets. They're keeping the eggs alive, something the Federation asks of them with each new quest. So, is it okay to be a puppet when it's convenient, or are they willing to fight the system all the way through? Are both q!Baghs and q!BBH willing to let Pomme and Dapper die, if it means they'd have the smallest of chances to destroy the Federation?
There's no way they can win this battle nor this war, not from where they're standing right now. They know nothing about how the Federation works, what kind of resources and plans they have, how many people are behind the curtains, who is really part of the Federation board and who is being manipulated. The smart move would be to work with them, to learn how they work from within. That's how q!Cellbit managed to rescue q!Felps from the Federation's hold. That's why ElQuackity is running around freely.
And I think people are quick to forget the Federation already chose their candidate. The Willbur Party should've been proof enough that they're willing to bend the rules over and over and over again. Last night's debate, with non-PvP settings being turned off right when a certain someone left, should've been proof enough. The Election is nothing but a big show, something to give the players the illusion of choice.
