:hurr:

Fucken rad. Congrats to both of you. I may just shed a tear. ;) Who got SRC, does anyone know?

did caleb get clubs??

Did Tama get Cultural Affairs?

Congrats Ryan! Hasta la victoria siempre!

CONGRATUMALATIONS RYAN AND JESS AND SAM!!!!!

Sloanie just told me Caleb didnt get clubs :(

The Crazy VCM girl got it.

Uh Oh

Should be somewhat interesting....................

VCM is that christian group right?

oh shit.

Victorian Campus Ministries. These guys are something to be afraid of, according to Craccum.

oh holy shit. what was her name?

OOOOHHHHHHHHHHH- did vadim get eao???
and yeah booyacka txtd me saying caleb didnt get it.

and yes, vcm ARE something to be afraid of....very afraid.

Steveo and I were quite worried about the christian bloc vote for Craccum.

block votes are a fucking pain especially when they are backing someone who aint up for it

yeah, same.....but the way i saw it, 'normal' supre girls might vote for those todd and roy, because they were 'classy' and one of the was kinda cute, but the sick, the depraved, the horny, the freaks, and the lunatics (ie, the general public of AU) would see sense and vote ryan.

Todd and Roy had nothing to bring to the party whatsoever.

The Christian groups probably didn't care enough to bother with Roy and Todd, and the gimps who thought Tom & Anthony were cool probably wouldn't bother voting. So dedication wins out.

Before we go over the top on Ryan though... how did Katie Small do? Did she beat the other chumps?

plus, they were very sarcastic when i told them that ryan was going to kick their arses.

Lesieli is that "crazy VCM girl" - haha. She's a friend of mine, she's not crazy but I know Caleb is a much better person for the job. See how she goes though, everyone deserves a chance.

Tama didn't get Cultural Affairs Officer - the two VCM girls got it Indira and Charmaine.

VCM seem to be taking over.

is there a list of who won

Well ShedEvil and Alec/Stian/Ryan control the mouthpiece.

We didn't have any figures in terms of margins at the time.

booyacka says : "da uni is set to d00m, DOOM!!! tell da forum i say so"

re vcm chick.

It'll be on the AUSA noticeboard in the quad tomorrow, with figures. And in the AUSA building itself.

Spent 4 hours since 6:00 counting up votes in the Functions Room, was so fucking tired (i.e hyper) in the end, but after the last vote had been counted and I looked to the board....well, sheer fucking ton of bricks. Maybe if Caleb put a picture of 50 Cent on his posters he would've won. Seriously, what the fuck.

I may be biased since he's my bf and all, but seriously, why the fuck. (ooh de ja vu)

But I guess it could've been worse, Kenneth Redshaw (the guy who wants to be "pround") or Monique (haven't met her but appearently an absolute psycho) could've won. It feels like the Bush/Kerry elections all over again but somehow more painful...

Aw, what the fuck, it should have been Caleb. Shit, VCM are infiltrating. Not so good. I'll be watching out for cultish behavior.

Well done Ryan. Twas a landslide :)

I know I've already posted this.....but...




Fuck VCM.

What was with that 50 cent shit? And in her brief in Craccum, the word 'clubs' was alwasy in capital letters.

She wants a full page in Craccum devoted to club activities. In a pigs eye she will.

Oh shhh.

There are certain agreements between Craccum and AUSA including up to 4 pages of AUSA content if they provide the text. If they want a weekly page devoted to clubs so be it. Seems like a good idea to me

page of clubs stuff sounds like a great idea... at least its pertinent information that is of use to students

True. It isn't such a bad idea I guess.

But at the same time, does this mean if VCM or VCM in disguise create an affiliated club, that Craccum would have to give them up space for their christo-babble?

?!? They are an affiliated club.

But the clubs content would come from all clubs, or at least should. And any slant in a direction would be looked down upon

Who are they operating under the guise of?

!??! The Club name is Victory Campus Ministries aka VCM

we'll just have to set up a bunch more clubs to counteract the religious groups....make it more balanced and all that....

Oh really? Wow.

I would have expected them to be there as Morningstar or whatever.

the clubs are already "balanced"
check out http://www.ausa.auckland.ac.nz/clubs/list.html

to see just what a variety there is

We could set up a club for members of the First United Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

OK a quick tally shows that the new exec is roughly made up of the following

50% lefties
19% VCM
19% Dan and followers
12% Independents/Unknowns

This doesnt include Ryan (who does have a vote on exec, or the MSOs and PISOs)

I didn't mean that they weren't balanced; if more christian groups are set up then more other groups should be set up. thats all.
