For All Candidates
Ok,
a few housekeeping details: I have updated the candidate list to include Insidious Rex and Noble Elf Lord---and welcome to both of them! You can view all the important details of the election so far on that first post. Also, the lobbyist buying special is over, so those of you who didn't take the time to buy some of those are out of luck. It's just the way things go. Also, for all candidates: 1) It would be neat for every team to come up with a name for their party. This is actually an election tradition, we we just plum looked over it this time. Acalewia picked "Entmooter's Party" for our team. 2) For the benefit of Entmoot voters who come to this thread and read the first post, it would be nice for every team of candidates to come up with a short summary of what their campaign is about and what they plan to do--- 5 sentences minimum, 9 sentences max. Using semicolons to get more words in is cheating. No run-on sentences allowed. Be succinct! The summary MAY NOT be a bullet point or numbered list. Must be in the form of a short paragraph. The style adopted must be close to that of an annotated bibliography. Also, you must reply to this section of this post and announce your campaign summary as such. No spell checking will be done for you, so make sure you are grammatically OK! The campaign summary will be posted on the opening post after the candidate/team/party names. Thanks! Pres. Emeritus

P.S. For all voters out there, this can be considered our manifesto and if you have any questions about our campaign, our candidates or the price of bottled-water across various European countries or the state of Maryland, don't hesitate to ask!
Our Declaration and Fight for the citizens of Entmoot To the Moot and to the World it should appear evident how high we rate and value our just freedom. We hold ourselves bound in mutual duty to each and every Mooter to take the best care of the future of Entmoot, to avoid the dangers of returning to a slavish condition or the oppression of trolls, moderators and administrators. It is self-evident that the power of every moderator, administrator and various other leaders of Entmoot that their power is inferior to the united consent of the Citizens of Entmoot – and that the wilful abuse of their Offices and our Laws is contrary to the good nature of the Moot and of our father, J.R.R. Tolkien. We, the Entmoot Freedom Party, declare then that the universal, native rights of every Entmootian citizen can not be breached, none can be compelled to slighten their freedoms and all ways and laws of Entmoot should be of an equal, good nature and to enhance and not threaten the well-being of the citizen of Entmoot. We declare these to be our rights and the cause for our fight, Entmoot Freedom Party Coffee (Pres), Insidious (VP) and Noble (MG) April, 2010

IIRC you said you didn't want to have anything to do with Politics. That your "faith in democracy is fragile". Yet here you are running for a cabinet position.

Um... it's not a German accent. It's Euro-English. You need to keep up on the people's lives if you want them to vote for you!

Also, I do not own UT. You can't expect that of me automatically. So how could I discuss? Let it be noted that the opinions/answers given by me in this post do not necessarily represent those of the Entmoot Freedom Party. I answered for myself, which I think was what you meant.

The Entmoot Freedom Party talks about the breech of mooter rights as well as the Entmoot staff's powers, and likens the admins to trolls!
Is it just me, or do Coffeehouse et al seem highly adminophobic? To paraphrase Terry Pratchett, this kind of talk is like standing on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards!'. Sister Golden Hair's admin stick hasn't been wielded in a long while and I'm certain there are powerful admins out there who are just looking for an excuse to claim and use this dreadful weapon The Entmooter's party, with its authoritarian perspectives, its tough stance on criminals (convicted ones as well as innocent!) and its intense desire to maintain maximum security prisons - well, that sounds like a platform that should appeal more to the admins and mods X Perry Mint's election platform is pure Venom

Bad Jonathan! Coffee, I gotta say, your platform is appealing to me more and more. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to elect you, so we can keep the corrupt modmins at bay. Of course, once that's taken care of, we'd have to overthrow you as well, but no deal's perfect.

Vive Entmoot Libre!
Though of course I'm of the opinion that all our beloved mods and admins are noble souls selflessly volunteering their invaluable time for a thankless task. (kiss kiss grovel grovel) Confession: Last election I didn't vote, resulting in Nurv being held to a miserable tie- not that I didn't like the Sas, but Nurv was the One. Not this time! Yes, we can! (or, well at least we possibly can if we try even if we don't bother to try all that hard because at least it's the thought that counts isn't it and really it is so hard to get anything done these days what with everything being in such a mess not like the old days and isn't it funny the weather we've been having...)

GM,
Indeed, the weather's been funky! And a scary amount of earthquakes. The Memphis fault line is said to be shifting a bit.

Allow me to introduce you to the wonderful world of... Finnish publishers. I haven't seen the book ever anywhere, or if I have, I've been so young I haven't known of Tolkien then. Not all of us have good publishers.
