I'm missing PK representation under major parties. No psychopathic representation?--[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 18:57, 1 June 2010 (BST)
:well, last time, PKers pretty much dominated the Humanitive party, because Karloth Vois was their representative, so I think they probably fall in to that. We could always open up a third party, but I don't really see any point.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 18:59, 1 June 2010 (BST)

==Questions==
I'm kind of confused how this election works, first off when does it start? Second, if you want to run do you just edit your name into the election page? --[[User:Mindlessidiots|Mindlessidiots]] 16:31, 8 June 2010 (BST)

:::You guys are missing a heading. "Higher Parties". For the Blob is the beginning, the middle and the end. His glory reaches into the highest, furthest reaches of the cosmos and also into your very souls. His glory diffuses  over all of Malton like a great warm blanket. Zombies, Survivors, Pkers and all those in between can all find a place within the great folds of his blobular flesh. As the designated spokesman for the Great Blob, It is my duty to inform the electoral organizers that the Blob is displeased to be lumped into the "Minor Parties" category alongside such undistinguished and irrelevant candidates. My friends, his glory is tarnished, his good name tainted by being in the company of "The Thermonuclear Party", "The Apapthy Party"....and a zealot like Oidar! Please correct this injustice immediately. --[[User:Dr summeroff|Dr summeroff]] 15:11, 4 June 2010 (BST)

:::::::Whoa, summeroff, don't disparage the proud Thermonuclear Party! Don't you wish that YOU could blast a suburb, or even Malton itself, all to pieces? It's a perfect solution for the nasty zombie problem--just nuke every suburb that isn't "green," and mop up the ones that survive. Or, if you're a pker/death cultist/combat revived ex-zombie, nuke every green suburb on the map and watch the mushroom clouds appear one by one! Imagine the number of dead bodies! Even if the radiation does not permanently incapacitate players, the prestige of owning your very own nuclear missile would more than make up for that!
