Black Mesa

Black Mesa is a political party new to the October 2011 Election, founded by Cal, Nagash and Necifix. The party, originally known as CNN due to the initials of the three founders, expanded rapidly and changed its name to Black Mesa, the principal rivals to Aperture Laboratories in the Portal/Half-Life universe. This was intended as a joke, based on Rogue’s comment that, having been co-founded by two former members of AL (or traitors, as they are better known), it should be named after them rootin’ tootin’ thieves at Black Mesa.

 * Continuation and Growth of The Podcast- Ani-Nation (current member of Black Mesa) is the one who suggested the podcast, and since then have been very successful. We plan on growing and continuing with the casts and hope to get more members involved. We would also be open to the idea of helping to establish and produce other podcasts, such as the one being discussed for THE BROS group


 * Member of The Month- This was passed in parliament but has not been implemented yet. Our party will make sure to get this done as quickly and efficiently as possible.


 * Graphics Section- Work and discuss with graphic members to see what they would like to see changed or implemented.


 * Review Sections- Work with members in parliament to clean up inactive areas and work on new sections for the forum by asking the members what they would like to see added (within reason).


 * Projects/Contest- Look into projects/contests that will get the whole community involved. Examples- A monthly edited yearbook, graphics contest, and maybe even an Ultimate Tenkaichi Tournament.

 * Being active in Parliament- Checks will be made to ensure that elected members of parliament will continue to serve in parliament - if a MP does not vote in 3 successive topics without the MP having told parliament they will be inactive, their place in parliament will be designated to the next ranking unelected member of their party. If there are no other members of the party available, the replacement is chosen from amongst the next ranking members of other running party's.

Despite being a founder and the first acting leader of Black Mesa, Cal left the party for personal reasons and appointed Nagash as his successor. Though the party keenly feels this loss, the party is still optimistic in its attitude to this coming election.
