The Whenthe Presidential Elections was a server event hosted between the 13th of December 2021 and 4th of January 2022, with the winners becoming the "president" and "vice-president" of the Whenthe server.

The Elections

Any user with the last activity role, Top Retard could run for president under set conditions. They could also choose another user to run as the vice-president, vice presidents could be chosen even if they were an activity role below.

There were three phases during these elections, phase one, two and three.

Phase One

Users were tasked with voting for their favorite party, you could only vote for one,[1] the four most popular presidential parties would fight for the status of leading WhenThe, these were the parties that were chosen from the massive poll, during this phase there was also lots of vote rigging, thanks to this many of the parties that tried rigging

their election results were banished from the elections.[2]

Parties which succeded to gain enough votes and get past the first phase of the elections.

1. THOUSDGH Goofy and Steely // (senator armstrong gif lover became the Campaign Manager)

 
Anti FFF Propaganda

2. THUG HUNTER Nickb and Evil Mario (Were Really Unactive.)

3. TURKEY LEG GIF pd384 and Beef (Unfortunately disqualified, Taylor and Byssum became the replacement.)

4. FELINE FREEDOM FIGHTERS WindowsXP and Baljeet (Baljeet was replaced with wad)

Phase Two

 
Anti THOUSDGH Propaganda

Presidents and Vice Presidents were tasked with making propaganda in order to promote their parties, users were also allowed to make propaganda for their party,[3] a presidential debate was also planned by the staff of the server, but the idea was scrapped due to timezone and organizational issues.[4]

Phase Three

Users had to vote on one of the four parties of their choice on a google doc,[5] it was mostly a fight between the THOUSDGH party and the Feline Freedom Fighters, many members thought that the winner of these elections would be THOUSDGH, but against all odds

the winning party were the Feline Freedom Fighters led by WindowsXP and wad.[6][7]

Aftermath

The event was a massive success and to this day is remembered very fondly by users of Whenthe, with the FFF winning the elections, three users received a special FFF candidate role, WindowsXP, wad aswell as Myszak.

WindowsXP also received a unique Whenthe president role, which gave them #aaaa permissions, they were also allowed to send one message in the announcements channel as a prize,[8] a few THOUSDGH users were against the favor of FFF winning the vote, as they thought

that the votes could have been potentially rigged.
