we should've called this thread The Candidate Opera House, instead of open house

Well I wouldn't mind hearing you sing opera, but I'm not going to go there.
We need a new question or issue... I hope Mooters aren't losing interest in the election.

So Jonathan, your idea of campaigning is posting a whole bunch of doctored pictures?

Who says they are doctored? . Anyway doctored pics seemed to be popular in the past *stern look at BoP*, so why abandon a winning concept?
I guess the pics will have to do for now, at least until I and the other candidates start debating. http://my.hsonline.net/~rrosetta/ent...athan/jon5.jpg

Yeah, where are all you other candidates and your campaign pictures? How do we know whether you smile and shake hands and kiss babies and all that?
------- A question I'd like to put forward to all candidates and/or their campaigners. (If it hasn't already been done) What have you contributed to Entmoot, and what can you contribute to Entmoot, as President? I don't mean the usual blah like 'I will make Entmoot a friendlier place' and stuff, I mean, how can you make ME happy that I voted for you? How will you make it fun, or more interesting? Also, why exactly do you want to be President? (I wonder what ulterior motives you all have, except for Jonathan ) |

In the 'entmoot presidential debate' thread, the poll is titled: "who loves Tolkien the best." Well if you love Tolkien, you are probably knowledgeable about the world of Middle-earth.
I thought we could add a little more fun and challenge to the election. God knows it needs it. I'm not sure when this poll closes, but I thought it would be fun to test the winner's knowledge of Tolkien. This would also show if the winner deserved the win. We, or someone could write up a series of question from several of the books, LotRs, the Silarillion, Unfinished Tales, and let the winner answer them. we would of course have to trust them not to cheat by looking up the answers. Say a series of 10 questions. What does everyone think?

I'm not just saying this because I know you're more knowledgable than me, but love of Tolkien isn't solely based on knowledge. It also depends how long you've had the opportunity to read the books. A 15-year-old has had at most seven or eight years, while a 35-year-old could have been reading the books for over twenty years.
But a quiz sounds fun! Is Tessar going to write it? He's good at stuff like that. (I assume you've already answered his first questionaire.) Cheers, Nurv

I have answered Tessar's questions, yes. Tessar could write it if he wishes, but they have to span at least those three books, and I think 10 questions are good enough. It would be after the poll closes, but I don't know when that is. Right now, people may still vote. Hector is leading with 7 votes, while Jonathan trails with 4.

I'd offer to write the questions ( ), but I wouldn't mind taking it myself. Should VP running mates tackle it too? Just to show what kind of hands Entmoot would be in, in case something... happens???

Accidently deleted my first post but now it has been retyped.
Quote:
Seriously though, I have contributed to discussions in the Tolkien fora, and I have started quite a few threads myself. I would have taken part in the Silmarillion project if I had had more time, however I hope I can contribute to the newly started LotR project. In the RPG forum, the NationStates sub-forum was started thanks to the initiative of JD. However, I was the one told JD about the online game and together he and I founded the Continent of Entmoot, where I have had the honour of getting elected UN Delegate. I have been active in the 'Other topics' fora as well. I especially enjoy the language thread, in which I have contributed with posting linguistic quirks and other things. I have started a few threads in GM which seem to have been quite popular. Last year, I made the Most Wanted Mooters list, which I hope the mooters could laugh at. I also hope that you found last year's Mud Wrestling Competition intriguing and pleasant. I put a lot of work into it but it was well worth it. And I hope you liked that nice little *cough* calendar too. Though I can't take credit for it - it was entirely the devilry... I mean work of BoP, JD and the others Why do I want to be president and what will I do if I get elected? I want to be president because I have plans for Entmoot. Now that the three LotR movies are out, I want to make Entmoot the 1# Tolkien message board to raise consciousness about Tolkien's world and his books. The movie goers need to learn that there is a lot more than PJ's films, and the Tolkien lovers should be able to have a safe haven where they can discuss not only the books and films, but anything they want. Entmoot is perfect for that. Now some of you might say "We're already #1, so why try harder?". I think that there is always room for both improvments and new members, and if Entmoot actually is #1 (Of course we are! No offence intended to the SF-Fandom members. SF-Fandom actually has more members and threads, but Entmoot has more than twice as many posts), we should strive for streangthening our position as the leading Tolkien message board and get more new members here. I have a question for SGH and Falagar; Which Tolkien message board would you want to see as #1? Entmoot or SF-Fandom? Anyway, if I am elected president, I will represent Entmoot on other message boards. Being president would be an advantage if we would want me to try and attract new members from those other boards. To me, it feels like it is the older mooters who are the most active, not that many posts are posted by the newer mooters. I would like more of those cute little saplings, hobbits and entlings, actively posting, PM-ing and starting threads with soul and heart. Wouldn't that be nice? Another more personal reason for me to want to be president is that I would be able to get myself a cooler title Quote:

Is that a John Kerry pic you used? the woman on the right looks like his wife, Teresia Heinz Kerry (or something like that).

There's only a week left until the ballot boxes open, aren't you candidates supposed to be debating or something? Poor old Jonathan typed up the response to my questions twice. With great answers. Are you other candidates trying to dodge the awkward questions? *Suspicious*
The Tolkien Quiz is a good idea. They should also have to sit an Entmoot test too. |

To tell you the truth, I cant promise that I can make Entmoot a more interesting place than it is now. Its up to All Mooters to make it a great, interesting, fun place. I can only Rule the moot with a kind heart and ana open mind, and a good logic. Bringing newbies to like this place is one of the things that I have been tryijng to do, via personally pm'ing them, welcoming them. Of course I cant always do this, since some newbies turn off thier pm options, and since I'm not always on to see who joined etc...but I try. My ruling the moot with a kind heart, an open mind, and good logic, thats some thing you can be sure of.
