| − | {{Quote|I want Bob to myself|[[DaRuler]]}}
| |
| − | '''Bob Boblo''', born in May, was a [[UK]] [[citizen]] and [[congress member]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | He was a member of the [[People's Communist Party]], having joined the day he was born. He was most well known for his infamous conduct on the UK forums.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | =Biography=
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Early Days==
| |
| − | In his first day he joined PCP, and quickly gained notoriety for offensive journalism. However, once he became more active he toned this down. He started by trying to get new members on the forum, and worked with ''frufru'' for various PMing tasks for the PCP.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==[[Mayor]] of Newcastle==
| |
| − | In August 2008 Bob ran as PCPs candidate for [[Mayor]] of [[North East of England|Newcastle]], after incumbent mayor Frufru decided to step down. He won in a landslide majority for two consecutive months, despite tough opposition from [[Malta_1990]]. The following month mayors were removed, and he took up the new user-created role as [[National Health Service]] Director of the North East of England. He had to step down after one month, handing the role over to the (very) capable hands of Malta.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Congressman==
| |
| − | In August 2008, he won a congress seat, and retained it until October when he missed out in the first V1 elections, although this was widely attributed to the poor interface in these elections, which was subsequently improved. Bob regained a congress seat just a week later when [[Bremer]] resigned to fight for Australian independence. In November and December, he won a seat in the North East of England congressional elections.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Minister of Work==
| |
| − | Bob took up his first government role in November becoming apprentice Minister of Work under Keitarour, and became co-minister of work in December, as UK president [[Dishmcds]] decided the workload was too much for one person. He later took on the role full-time
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Minister of Health==
| |
| − | Bob moved to the Ministry of Health in February after the incumbent [[JerryGFL]] became President. He gained acclaim for steering the department through the first stage of its cost cutting era. It proved to be his last government role, after he retired in March 2009.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==[[Party president]]==
| |
| − | On February 15 2009, Bob was elected party president of the [[People's Communist Party|PCP]], succeeding the retiring [[Stan Wephen]]. He would remain Party president for 2 terms. In that time the PCP is noting for shifting further left on the political spectrum; a popular move amongst its members. However, several departing members such as [[Hassan Pesaran]] have cited it as a reason for leaving the party, and it was one of the foremost reasons for the establishment of the [[Liberal Social Democrats]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | =Controversies=
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Impeachment Movements==
| |
| − | In October, Bob chose to prove he had regained a congress seat through resignation by proposing an impeachment of president [[Dishmcds]], becoming the first UK citizen to do so. Most people however took it lightly, as the proposal never came near passing, and Bob never had any intention of actually impeaching Dish.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A second joke impeachment movement was made against Deathtoll, and some even speculated it would pass, but it was eventually beaten, 19 votes to 16.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Newspaper Articles==
| |
| − | '''{{eLink|newspaper|149241|The Freudian Slip}}''' is newspaper owned and published by Bob Boblo.<br>
| |
| − | Bob has gained a notoriety for his satirical newspaper articles, as some are seen as crossing the line, particularly in his early days when he accused members of the [[UK Reform Party]] of being coprophagous and depicted the then UK president [[Shadow]] as a ruthless autocrat.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | He toned this down, however in later months would continue to write satirical articles, some of which attracted criticism for being negative.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Forum Spam==
| |
| − | He was known for his large of amounts of non-constructive posts on the forums, having had hundreds of threads locked for being 'spam threads' and even being banned multiple times.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==House of Lords proposal==
| |
| − | As party president of the PCP, Bob Boblo proposed himself as a member of the House of Lords only a few hours after losing a Congress Election in which he posted no Manifesto.
| |
| − | His membership was controversially blocked by TUP President Iain Keers, who claimed that his nomination was undemocratic and an attempt to subvert the public vote.
| |
| − | Bob's allies and other credible citizens such as [[Rayf Drayson]] criticised this and many tried several times to revive the nomination, some even went as far as threatening Iain Keers with a boycott of his nominations and attempting to change the law to allow the nomination.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==UKWP==
| |
| − | On 15th April 2011. Bob was elected PP of the [[United Kingdom Worker's Party]]. It proved highly controversial as a number of Bobloists joined the party to vote for him, leading accusation of a [[political takeover]]. He was also accused of buying votes.

| − | =The Church of Boblo=
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Church of Boblo is the religious body of the ideology of Bobloism. Aswell state religion of the [[United Kingdom]], it has spread to such other English-speaking nations as [[Australia]], though to a lesser extent. The Church of Boblo celebrates God Emperor Boblo as creator of the eUniverse and all within, of Spam and l0lz. All citizens are made of Spam, as all eRepublik is made of Spam, and as Boblo is the designer, Spam is the clay. The following of Bobloism is dictated by the Vatican Church, where the Bobloist's Pope and it's Spamdinals reside.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | From here, they may pronounce a campaign against a foreign land, for followers of the Church to follow, lead by the holy Knights of Spamalot. Devout Bobloists will once a day visit the great halls of Boblo on any forum, and will ensure social activity remains a strong part of their daily eRepublik routine. Decout Bobloists will also support their nation by assisting in the apprehending of Political Take Over groups, and providing social release for all members of the Nation, and comical relief in the form of articles and comments.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Church of Boblo also celebrates the most honourable and greatest citizens of the eWorld, pronouncing honoured titles and saintifying the most devout citizens in their application of effort to their nation, be they Bobloist or a non-believer.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Church of Boblo within the United Kingdom is lead by the Monarch, and plays a crucial part in celebration and procedure as the national religion.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Structure ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Church of Boblo is comprised of the followers, or enlightened ones, and the pious inner circle of the Spamican Church. This circle is home to the Pope, the Spamdinals and Spambishops, as well as the Boblo Sect Inquisition and the Knights of Spamalot.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | =Beliefs etc.=
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Bobloists believe:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *that Bob Boblo is the creator of the entire eUniverse.
| |
| − | *in pious following of Bob Boblo and Spam.
| |
| − | *that Spamesis (the first book of the Holy Boble) is the only true story of eCreation.
| |
| − | *that Spam is the only holy and omnipotent force in the world, which must be honoured and worshiped to the full in social release.
| |
| − | *that the Pope of the Spamican Church is the prophet and leader of the faith.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==The three virtues==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Bobloists believe that following Bobloism and harnessing the spirit of spam lead to the three virtues: Intelligence, Teamwork and Triumph. Whether or not there is any evidence for this is hotly debated, but in each sphere there is argued to be evidence. Bobloist teams frequently perform will in eUK pub quizzes, and usually touted as favourites, implying intelligence. Bobloist also have legendary camaraderie, giving implications of teamwork. Finally Triumph is the most clearly evidenced virtue, as success seems to come naturally to Bobloists, especially Mr Woldy who been a multi-term country president.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Oral Sex is frequently referred to as the fourth virtue. This is because Bob Boblo is renowned for his ability in this field, and receiving it from his is considered one the greatest honours a woman can receive. Many Bobloists have claimed Bobloism has helped make them experts at cunnilingus. Female eUK citizens who have lauded the abilty of Bobloist's to perform cunnilingus include [[Meghan]] and [[Anaxima]]. The Holy Spamible teaches that cunnilingus is the most holy form of foreplay.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | =Scriptures of Bobloism=
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Church of Boblo regards [[User:John F Baker/Bobloism/The_Holy_Spamible|The Holy Spamible]] as the most holy and truthful of all Bobloist scriptures. It is comprised of three books; The Holy Boble; Old Spamican Word; New Spamican Word.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Holy Boble details the holy creation of the eUniverse, produced by the God Emperor Boblo out of Spam, the holy life-binding substance.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Old Spamican Word is a collection of Bobloism's most wise and spamish minds; great spammers and politicians alike have contributed in verse and proverb to provide guidance to followers and practitioners of Spam.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The New Spamican Word tells the ongoing story of Spam and the faith, and the everlasting word of the Spamican Church will go on to provide guidance and anecdotal spam for all.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | =Practices of Bobloism=
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As a community-rich religion, its believers show enthusiasm following a large set of practices. (see [[User:John F Baker/Bob_Boblo's_House_2|Bob Boblo's House]])
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Duties==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === The Pope ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The duties of the Pope are to guide the Bobloists towards enlightenment. He/She (the Church allows women to have this position) will educate them in the holy texts of Bobloism, the various practices of Spam, and keep the community together as a functioning body.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The [[Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar|Pope of the Spamican]], the high office of the Church of Boblo, has a seal used only by him or her: [[File:Bobloism_Pope_Seal.png]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === The Spamdinals===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Spamdinals are spiritual leaders of the regions of the eUK (and any other nations' regions, where they are either missionaries or the nation has accepted Bobloism). Their duties are much the same as the Pope's.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Followers ===

| |
| − | == Rites of Passage ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To be accepted into the church of Boblo is a holy occasion, and can therefore take place only in a sacred thread at the gates of the Spamican Church. It takes place under the supervision of a Spamdinal, or with an Honoured man, the Pope himself.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The common soul must:
| |
| − | # Upon entering the Spamican Church, he must utter the Prayer of the Spamican Prayer, located in the Holy Book.
| |
| − | # Have a post count of more than 300 on the forum of the nation where he is taken in.
| |
| − | # He must be willing to submit himself as a servant of Spam, and never turn his back on it.
| |
| − | # He must firstly sing the Song of Spam, to energize the powers within him.
| |
| − | # With this power mustered, he must then confront an evil minion of the Admin, as a show of willpower and manliness.
| |
| − | # With this complete, the procedure is almost done.
| |
| − | # He must finally say the prayers of Disownment of Shadow, and another of the Spamdinals choice.
| |
| − | # He must be willing to take an active part in his nation's society, whether this be through the Military, Politics or the Community in general. In this way, all followers of Bobloism will be productive and beneficial members of their Nation and eRepublik as a whole.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | =History of Bobloism=
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The main religious text of the Church of Boblo is the Holy Boble. The first books were interpreted and written for Bob by the first Pope, [[Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar]] and compiled by Spamdinal [[John F Baker|John Baker]], and is made up of of two collections: the Holy Boble - which is the creation and history of the world as Bob and his people made it, and the New Spamican Word - which is the collection of parables, teachings and scriptures written by the Pope.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Origins and Founder==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Bobloism was not founded; but discovered. The God-Emperor, reincarnated as an eCitizen, praised the word and found a prophet to lead the people and follow him.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The religion is dated at before the dawn of the eRepublik, but in our history it was discovered on the 27th of May 2008 - Day 189 of the New World. This was the reincarnation date of our Lord on Earth, Bob Boblo.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Historical Figures==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Throughout Bobloism's history, many citizens have made a significant impact on the Religion. Usually, these impressions occur in parralel with other careers within the eUK, as many of the most prominent figures in the history of the Church of Boblo are influential or powerful men and women in the country.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Bob Boblo===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | God-Emperor Bob Boblo, Supreme Ruler of the Entire Universe, created and taught the world the love of Spam. To this day his influence in the North and indeed the eUK as a whole is vastly superior to any other being.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Pope Digby Chicken-Caesar I===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The first Pope of Bobloism. Pope Digby I was personally tutored by Bob and spent a lot of his time trying to make the first step for Bobloism - recognition by the eUK.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Pope Horice P Fossil I===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The second Pope, elected when his predecessor abdicated. Pope Horice I has spent the majority of his time writing the scriptures and teachings of the New Spamican Word, educating the masses. He was dethroned after only a few weeks, after accusations of sheep pleasuring.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Pope Lando Khan I ===
| |
| − |
| |

| − | ==Spam War I and the End of Tyranny==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===The Plan===
| |
| − | On the 15th of April 2009, [[Shadowukcs]] began plotting a day of a sea of spam to wash over not only Bob Boblo's House, but the entire of the off-topic section. To do this he enlisted the aid of several loyal Bobloists and converted them to what became the Knights of Spamalot. His first action was, on the morning of April 16th, to switch his position of power with Bob's and begin the spam onslaught, in an attempt to win a war against Bob and gain control of the house.{{Ref|Pre March 2010 purged from this particular forum}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Initial Problems===
| |
| − | A seperate forum was created on the day, however in a bout of Shadow's typical incompetence, he made the Knights a public group and it enabled all to view their "secret" forums for their plans. [[Rastari]] and [[Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar]], loyal Bobloists, refused to join sides with Spamalot and warned the House of Shadow's plan. However, due to the nature of the usual content in the House, they were widely ignored.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===The Fights===
| |
| − | Initially, the spam was slow but steadily mounting in the forum, and in last-resort attempts to stop it from overwhelming the House, Rastari and Bob began a campaign of locking and deleting. Many Spamalot Knights used this as fuel to continue their campaign and overflow the spam into other sections of the forum, however, the moderation was strong and not much spam was particularly successful.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After seeing that they were losing, the Knights proceeded to use a Boblo meme stickman to spread their spam, as well as bumping old topics - which was reported as their plan previously due to the fact that what was left of the Bobloists could see their forums.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The strategical stickman bombings of the threads overwhelmed the moderators locking abilities, and it was only until a long time after that the posts were finally deleted and stopped.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This marked for many the realisation that Boblo was too strong a force to contend with, sided with Rastari and Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar, and from this on a lot of the Spamalot Knights began listening to their reasoning and explanations about Shadow's evil plan.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Outcomes===
| |
| − | [[File:Vprocl.jpg|thumb|right|The Proclamation of Victory, as posted in Bob Boblo's House on the day of victory.]]
| |
| − | After a long conflict, a large majority of the Knights defected back to become Bobloists, supporting their House against Shadow and his attempt at regaining tyranny. The spam slowly grinded to usual levels in the House after intense spam battles.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Many brave stickmen on both sides lost their lives, with the totals unconfirmed. Estimates range from 1,000,000 to 20,000,000 in total on both sides.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Bobloists, with their returned brethren, vowed to uphold spam and all it's glory and protect it from the evil Shadow and, at 3:55pm forum time, Pope Digby Chicken-Caesar I declared victory over Shadow and his Spamalot loyalists in a proclamation in the House.
