As goes for all the promises of all the candidates.

That's why I was so happy to jump on board with SGH... it's so easy to talk about what she has already done around here, and what she still does continually!

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.

I'll take the chance to present my favourite Tolkien-inspired artist. Her name is Anke Eissmann and has her own website here - Anke Eissmann

BTW, when was this Lord of the Flies discussion?

It was started in September last year. Here is a link to the discussion - Lord of the Flies

The actual book club has its own thread here - Entmoot Book Club
Do come with suggestions of books that we can read together

[Sister Golden Hair]

I find it interesting that you say this:

As you can see, my skills and interests encompass all aspects of the board, Tolkien or otherwise.

And then ask this:

BTW, when was this Lord of the Flies discussion?

[Valandil]

Boy... Jonathan's answers to Tessar's REALLY seem to echo SGH's, don't they? At least the GOOD answers!

And what's up with all the spam-slinging of the 'Entmoot Council'???

And is Tessar REALLY an objective moderator of the campaign debates... or is he an undeclared candidate, running a "Stealth Campaign"... as it appears with his name on the poll??

C'mon people... wise up! SGH has already demonstrated her fine quality ('the very highest'!) to the rest of us... time after time, month after month! To vote for anyone else would be to short-change yourself!

Well, let me tell you all a little story of when I first popped onto the Entmoot. I was new to computers and everything associated with them. I didnt know how to do much of anything, other than turn them on, and search for Tolkien stuff. So I signed on, and hung around a bit, didnt post much, no problem, right? Well, I posted once, I think in the Unwritten Book thread, or something to that nature, and who was the first to jump on and welcome me? Sister Golden Hair. And since then, she has always been happy to help, no matter how inane may query was, and she has always guided me in the matters of Mooting, for she is among the wise. It was for these reasons that I nominated her to run in the first place, before even taking her council, because I knew that she would always be a ready counsellor to any Mooter, a fair and impartial diciplinarian, and a good friend, to all Mooters. This is why you should vote her for president. The title of President of Entmoot does come with great responsibility, and it is not just a title. Think about what it encompasses, and then think about who you want to fill that role. If you fairly and impartially judge each candidate against the other, you will realise that Sister Golden Hair will always be the leader of the Entmoot, and I cannot think of a better candidate to represent all that this board stands for. Thank you.

is that the same SGH who subtly tries to campaign in the B-Day thread?
I am not only an intelligent fellow, but also very easy going, and easy to get along with.
SGH needs no more power, she will always be the true ruler of the moot no matter who gets elected, she will always be the real moving force behind the moot. So actually if she is elected, you will only have re-elected her.

[Beor]

Is this the same hectorberlioz who campaigned in the Welcome thread?

Electing her as president would be more as recognizing the great effort and love that she has put into the Entmoot and its members, and the vast ammount of time and devotion she has invested into this board. Is that really a bad thing? If you do good in a class or something, you like to get recognized. We would be merely thanking her for her undying dedicatin to us and the board.

THIS from the guy whose team is turning practically EVERY thread into a 'Campaign Thread'?? Sheesh! The 'Welcome Thread', 'The Teacup Cafe', 'The Avatar Shop' ("Hey - we'll make you an avatar if you vote for us!!" )... it just goes on and on!!

[Sister Golden Hair]

Thank you Beor and Valandil. I would like to point out to the mooters, that I realize they may hesitate to vote for me because I am an admin, but think about it: what better candidate than one that already has the power to help with your requests and take care of all your mooting needs? I have always tried to be fair and reasonable with all members, and am always at your service. I have never wanted to use my admin status to win the election and I am not trying to do that now. I just hope that my status does not sway you from voting for me. As I have said before, I am a mooter first, but, since I am an admin, I can take it a step further for all mooters, but nomatter the out come of the election, I am here to serve.

[hectorberlioz]

is the same SGH who bribes her VP?

Yes, but if she is prez, then she's hogging all the tolkien love for herself, and not giving another someone a chance to express his/her love for the Moot.
Also she would be burdened with having admin and mod duties. where will she get the time? and so many duties on the moot would vex her, and not let herself enjoy much.

I never bribed my VP! And, how would my becoming president hog all the Tolkien love? I am a firm believer of freedom of speech, and would never inhibit any mooter from expressing their love of Tolkien. So, what's your point?

I told Val that you guys are wlcome to do the same to me

[Finrod Felagund]

What have/can I bring to other sections of Entmoot...well...I work in a video store, so I can see all movies even before their official release date, as well as knowing the release of both theatre and video/dvd movies. Even before I began working there, I was what you'd call a movie buff. I am also well versed in the musical theatre world.
I have been an avid participant in several RPGs, including Tolkien Lover Anonymous, without argument the biggest, most epic RPG series ever on Entmoot. I am also a Member of NationStates.net
I have a fair amount of Star Wars and Harry Potter Knowlege and do quite a bit of writing in my spare time.
My chapter in the sil Project will be up soon, and I am booked for 2 chapters for the LotR project as well.
Ass you can see, my skills and interests encompass all aspects of the board, Tolkien or otherwise.

In fact, in matters vegetable animal and mineral, I am the very model of a modern major general...errr...presidential candidate.









You know what? I respect all of the other candidates. Every one of them has a great deal they could do for Entmoot. SGH, has already done a lot, then again, she doesn't need to be prez to do that does she?
Jonathan has contributed some of the funniest threads ever (Mud Wrestling, Mooters Calendar) as well as serious discussion.
And Hector is definitely a well versed, well thought, intelligent, intellectual and romantic youth. And he's the director of the new LotR. LOL!
All worthy adversaries, and as far as things are looking, at least one of them is bound to beat me...however,I will continue to campaign, and even if I lose, continue to try to make Entmoot the best place on the net!

Hahah-hah! Hector, this is SO laughable! Yeah - like SGH has REALLY made a habit of clamping down on others who express their love for Tolkien and the Moot! Hah! Well... it's great to have a clown for one of the candidates!!

Frankly, I think SGH has held back so much in campaigning because some have given her 'heat' for running because she's an admin. Search your hearts Entmoot... isn't SGH the BEST Candidate for this position?? She's truly the tolkienest!!

[Beor]

The fact that some may have it in their hearts to fire upon Sister Golden Hair for running even though she is an admin is ridiculous. If I remember correctly, every member of Entmoot was eligable to run, so if you want to say that she cannot run, or should be ashamed to run, because she is an admin, then you are saying that she cannot be a Mooter, and that if she is, she should be ashamed to be, because she is a mod, and that is utterly ridiculous.
The fact is, that even if she wasnt an administrator, she woud still do the same great stuff she does now, only with less power to back her up. She would still help people in need, and would still try to keep flaming and spamming at bay, she would just need help to do it.

Thanks for the nice comment FF.
but I'm not a man (yet). I'm 16 yrs old, and considered very mature for my age despite my extravagant sense of humour (whatever that means).
As for you FF, you're a good hearted mooter with a good head on his shoulders, two beautiful women (sgh and ruinel ), and a good profile of responsiblity (as fas as i know).

Now what could possibly make slandering your opponants attractive to the voters?
