Oh, I guess the LotR project is more important to you than the book club right now, but if there's ever a book you want to read and discuss, just let me know

What I want to ask the Council for Entmoot is; if you do win, are those members of the council going to actually do their 'jobs'? You know, will the Minister of Culture or whatnot actually do something about Entmoot's Culture; what affairs will the Administrative Affairs person actually manage, and so forth?
I'd hate to think you'd be giving people titles just for the sake of it. Last edited by Linaewen : 03-21-2004 at 08:44 AM. |

Minister of foreign affairs will deal with introducing newbies (because he's the foreign affairs administrater!). minister of culture wil deal with racist problems when needed () Besides, there is nothing wrong with having a title for no reason except for show. We all have those, dont we? I'm a down to fangorn forest type mooter, and of course I want all mooters to treat each other equally (that goes for my team and myself as well). .......sounds to me like you've been talking to Jonathan a lot, Lin

Why do you say you never had the time to contribute to the Sil. project? It is still going on! With that kind of assertions your credibility is reaching zero

And the other problems you are talking about are dealt with by the admins and mods. Personally, I can't say that I'd do any admin or mod job, since I'm not one. So, I will not promise any of those things. If elected as vice president, as a representative of our beloved Entmoot, I would try to make this the best Tolkien forum on the Net. I would do this by starting thought provoking threads, posting informed, well written responses, and defending the honor of Entmoot whenever necessary. |

Well, I dont know if this question is for me at all, but as Foreign Minister of the Sister Golden Hair Administration, I will, using my handy location in Iraq, continue to BURN!!! BURN!! here in Iraq, so that you can enjoy an Entmoot that is Saddam Hussein free ! Actually, I do plan on trying to unite the American and Canadian and Mexican and Latin American and South American Mooters with the European, Asian, and African, and Middle Eastern Mooters, but I can only do so much. However, I will do as much as I can to keep the continents not so far apart.

Twista and Falagar will work together quite a lot since recruiting often leads to new members. They will fulfill their roles, that's why we picked them.
I will fulfill my own duties as well, supporting Hector as President, as well as being there to temporarily take over if, for whatever reason, Hector has to leave for a while. That way, Mooters can be assured they're never without a leader!

And I am aware of that the Sil project isn't really finished yet, but the last chapters are already assigned so unless someone drops from the project, it will be impossible for me to contribute.

And I've been meaning to ask, why isn't HOBBIT running again? Since it does say in his sig that he's going to be president forever, I would have thought that he'd want to try and be re-elected.

I have a question for all of the candidates. I'm more of a book fan than the movies. I have seen a candidate post that if he/she wins they will try to make entmoot the best forum on the net. My question is, why would you need to be elected in order to do so. Why don't you do it just because of the love for Tolkien. I don't know if azalea is a part of someones campain but with her LOTR book project she is doing just that, bringing intelligent discussion in which everyone can participate and have a chance to see other points of view. Now that would be someone that I would definitely give my vote to. Quote:

“What does the term american refers to” asked the boy, and the wise man answered: “Lets look at the dictionary then.” As an adjective American is: 1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture. 2. Of or relating to North or South America, the West Indies, or the Western Hemisphere. As a noun American is: A native or inhabitant of America. A citizen of the United States. Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again: 1. The United States. 2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America. Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?” The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.” The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance. |

Oath to be taken, one hand on The Silmarillion, one hand on heart
Here do i swear fealty and service to Entmoot, and to the mods, admins and mooters of that realm, to speak and to be silent, to do and to let be, to come and to go, in need or plenty, in peace or war, in living or dying, from this hour henceforth, until my lord release me, or death take me, or the world end. So say I, [insert name] son/daughter of [insert father's name] of the Shire of the Halflings. |

Btw, one might think that SGH is rooting for herself in the upcoming election. Not true. According to this thread - Which Character President - SGH states that she is actually crossing her fingers for FF. @ SGH

This is a Tolkien message board, and Tolkien's books is culture at its best imo. As a Minister of Culture I will continue to do what I've always done on this board: Support and contribute to any idea and project which will promote the books (all of them, not only the most well-known like The Hobbit or LotR), like the Silmarillion project and the new LotR project. IMO These projects have increased, and will continue to increase, the quality of Entmoot. I will also continue to urge and encourage everyone new to Tolkien to continue reading. Some members come here because of the movies, and that is a great opportunity for us to show them the beauty of Tolkien's books! There's nothing wrong with the movies btw, but though based on Tolkien they are PJ's work, and I do love the books so much more. Also, I will try to make more known many of the great Tolkien-inspired artists out there, and I would also like to see members create their own pieces of art, like paintings, music etc. Quote:

Like I said earlier, to me it doesn't matter a lot if I am elected or not, I will still contribute to the Tolkien community and promote Tolkien's works. However, being President might give make you more motivated to try to turn Entmoot into the best Tolkien forum. The fact that you are representing all the mooters would probably be a very good incentive to stay active and take part in discussions. Being President wouldn't be imperative, but it would give you a kick in the right direction. Therefore, I think that everyone should vote for the candidate who not only represents them the best, but who gives the most back to Entmoot. Make that person more eager to continue doing so. Quote:
As you say, someone who involves others in interesting discussions and who shows his or her love for Tolkien, would definitely be a good President. Hopefully, you will find someone among the candidates with such qualities. Pick me, pick me! __________________ http://my.hsonline.net/~rrosetta/ent...than/jon10.jpg
