> *Name and nicks*:
> Patrick "Argure" Godschalk
> 
> *Sponsor*:
> I'll let you know, I'm sure there are plenty of PP's that want to
> support this. You know, the ones that are actually still *Pirate*
> Parties.
> 
> *Member of Pirate Party*:
> Piratenpartij (The Netherlands)
> 
> *Qualifications*:
> - I'm very good at telling when someone is actively bullshitting
> this organisation.
> - I'm also very good at getting those people to stop doing that.
> - I'm Dutch, which means I'm always either drunk or high - and
> therefore good fun! This is obviously a lie.
> - I realise that I can just write whatever the bloody hell I want
> in here since most people won't even check these.
> - On that note, I have a PhD in creativology.
> - I'm not at all narcissistic or cynical. I do not know the
> meaning of sarcasm.
> - I will love you long time. ( ⊙‿⊙)
> 
> *Languages*:
> C, Perl, zsh. I also do Python when I'm feeling masochistic. Oh,
> and I can say ARRRR really loud!
> 
> *Motivation and political background*:
> See, this is where it gets interesting. I actually have a serious
> motivation for doing this, despite the cynical and somewhat
> humourous first paragraphs here. And that motivation is simple.
> It's an important one so let me place it on it's own line just so
> people read it better:
> 
> You do NOT. Fucking. "Announce". A GA *TWO WEEKS* before it
> actually starts.
> 
> I mean come on, this is some A+++ stand-up bullshit going on here
> that I expect from 'liberals', but not from a Pirate Party. Or at
> least, I don't want to expect this. So, my motivation for my
> candidature is simple.
> 
> 1. I refuse to acknowledge the validity of this GA in the
> interest of the member parties that are not the in-crowd of
> Gregory Engels.
> 2. If this GA still happens, elect me to the board in whatever
> position and I will immediately move to declare this GA null and
> void.
> 3. After which, I will immediately step down as board member
> because I have no actual interest in being one.
> 
> If I am unable to declare the GA null and void, I will simply not
> do anything as a board member other than righteously 'abuse' this
> position to actually fucking *inform* the member parties of shit
> like this. And any other board member who in that case would have
> a problem with this can cordially go fuck themselves.
> 
> And yes, in case it needs explaining, despite writing this on a
> cynical and highly frustrated note, - I am *dead serious* about
> this candidature with this specific motivation.
> 
> *Contact info*:
> Argure on IRC. If you're wondering which network, I'm on pretty
> much most of them, just pick one at random. You can also mail me
> at patrick.godschalk at piratenpartij.nl but honestly, I read my
> mail maybe once a week at most.
> 
> Oh, by the way, I will not be in Paris (ironically, due to not
> being able to afford tickets on such short notice).
