The case of Hector provides us with the horrific example of what happens when there is a mix of the Executive branch (see Hector's VP-candidacy), the Media branch (see Hector's (oh yeah you bet that's Hector's) Teacup Table Gazette) and the Judicial branch (see Hector's attempt to issue criminal verdicts on fellow Mooters). The only thing stopping this disturbing mix of powers (and insanely disturbing authorianian streak of Hector's) is the, you guessed it, Legislative branch: of which the citizens of Entmoot make up, which is why, in his brilliance, Montesquieu advocated that the Legislative branch have disproportionate oversight over the other branches. Hector is in other words the embodiment of the saying: "Power leads to corruption, absolute power leads to absolute corruption" The Acally-Hector ticket is dangerous. Very, very dangerous. Let the Legislative branch of Entmoot, i.e. its citizens, keep the dangers of totalitarianism and its crazy schizo paranoia in check!

Has it not occurred to anyone yet that X Perry Mint has posted during times when I've been away from the moot, and times when I'm sleeping?

You have some weird reason for wanting Jonathan out of your way. You trump up charges against him for chocolate-stealing something-or-other and have him carted away to your personal prison, which everyone here at the Moot will admit is the most scariest prison online or IRL. But a hiccup occurred! Jonathan escaped! By that time, your charges were being looked into and found wanting, so you can't actually get him arrested again because he's not guilty of anything except being a victim. It's your dearth of political power that's allowing the innocent to be free. Quote:

But if Hector is involved in the headlines, and you are not, doesn't that mean your VP is going behind your back and is therefore not handled? I reckon a lot of people would feel safer if you keep Hector's leash a bit shorter.

Announcement!
The deafening cry of the Hectorian ghost of Dick Cheney boomed through the corridores...
Hehe on another note I am happy to announce the completion of the Coffeehouse-ticket for the 2010 Entmoot Elections! I introduce to the citizens of Entmoot two exceptionally great Mooters whom I have the profound and humble honour of running with. - The Vice-Presidential candidate on this ticket is InsidiousRex - While the cabinet post, indeed he is my cabinet, is Noble Elf Lord whom will serve as the Minister General on the administration With the Coffeehouse, InsidiousRex & NobleELfLord-ticket we want to give the citizens of Entmoot the quality, passion and drive that a real Entmoot presidency should involve! If we are given that trust we want to push for a better and brighter tommorow in Entmoot. (Trumpets sounding!!!) Vote Coffee, Insidious & Noble

Well, it's good marketing, of course, to say that all that praise is not without a cause. (God damn it, I'm turning into a politician! If that happens, hector is a small worry...lol.)

Thats right a three person ticket is the charm! CoffeeHouse - Insidious Rex - Noble Elf Lord. Frankly, Id vote for anything that started with coffee. Especially in the morning... But just remember, we cannot be bought, but we do offer spare change that you can believe in.

Our platform is simple, we offer our best efforts to all Mooters - and the chance to find the magic in yourself So support the Coffee-Insidious-Noble ticket with, as Vice-Presidential candidate Insidious correctly points out (unlike other tickets we don't take illegeal campaign contributions), with spare change you can believe in!

Well, colour me impressed, I never had thought to see anyone ensnare the likes of IR as VP...
Okay candidates, VP-candidates and general ministers, I have a question to ask to each of you. Your answers earlier seem to indicate that everyone of you is interested in maintaining and helping to spread the love for Tolkien. Then can you explain to me, why only one and a half (*) of you have picked a chapter in the Unfinished Tales Chapter Discussion? Think and answer carefully. (*)I say one and a half because only Varnafindë has chosen and posted a chapter intro. Coffeehouse's original chapter was scrapped and he has yet to choose a new one.

Hey now, the 2000 Entmoot Presidential Election was completely fair and competitive. Ben never supported me openly - publicly or in private. If he voted at all, I'm not sure that he did vote for me.
It was decided that the winner of the election would be made a real moderator, so I'm not sure how Ben felt about his younger brother becoming a moderator at his message board. I had my own relatively successful Harry Potter message board and if anyone was around at that time, they may recall that I was already the moderator or administrator at a ridiculous amount of ezboards. I was also 11 to 12 at the time (and Ben 14). Amazing. The runner up, Gilthonial I believe (or something like that), seemed to take the loss pretty hard. He was 20-something or perhaps even 30-something and wanted to win.... he disappeared soon after that. |

A vote for Coffee, Insidious & Noble is a vote for a clear, no-bull attitude with those who would stand in the way of Entmoot's happiness! Quote:
