Midge,

No problem! Will do

And also: "elves" always refers to the Mirkwood elves. See post above where I speculate as to the cause of their current demeanor .

[Noble Elf Lord]

The Mirkwood Elves ain't chopping down anything, least of all with chainsaws! I shall not have this, the name of my people besmirched with such accusations. I can tell this is a made-up problem by hector, cause I'm Mirkwoodian! We do not fell trees. That's it. Me least of all. As said, hector, be careful with those accusations...

The Mirream-Westber Dictionary is available for use on the shelf in the Teacup, in case anyone is wondering!

I didn't know so many of us were elves! I just kind of wandered in... a lowly human woman... Huh. Well, like I said, Hector. Watch who/what you're slandering!

On this same page, right above Midge's post with a bold headline. I offer that post of mine as outlining the Acally/Hector platform .

That's the one I used, but wasn't quite sure about.
It was the right one, then

As my chief of cabinet and Internal, Foreign, Security, Literature, Maritime and Magical Affairs minister, i.e. Minister General Noble, eloquently puts it "We do not fell trees. That's it"

We promise in our 2-year term to provide protection to all trees in- and outside of Mirkwood and stop the destructive logging currently being carried through by previous administrations.

1 tree down is 1 tree too much - and 1 tree represents not only a loss of habitat for small and large animals alike, but also says something about what we in the Entmoot value. As Mooters in Entmoot we're de facto guardians of Middle Earth's sacred forests - so let's fight to protect them!

A 17th-century poem, The Garden, reads:
No white nor red was ever seen
So am'rous as this lovely green.
Fond lovers, cruel as their flame,
Cut in these trees their mistress' name.
Little, alas, they know or heed
How far these beauties hers exceed!
Fair trees! where s'e'er your barks I wound,
No name shall but your own be found.

And speaking of accusations... could the rumors be true that there is a plot to besmirch the good name of the Mirkwood Elves to drive them out so that the Haradrim can gain access to Mirkwood and lock up a monopoly on the ent syrup trade? Acalewia and Hector, do you now or have you ever taken contributions from the infamous Harad Corporation? Are you willing to release the names for your Mirkwood "environmental policy" council planned for after the election? Is it true its made up mostly of Haradrim and mithrill hungry dwarfs who's motto is "dig baby dig"?

Odd... X Perry has only 3 actual posts on this board, don't you need a hundred? Where did the other 100 come from?

I don't know what you're talking about. I am, of course, a shareholder in the HaradHRAS Corporation. But we don't fell trees or anything. All we do is manufacture lollipops and candycanes for kids all over middle-earth

Ok, so in a few posts I've gone from defender of trees (obviously, since I am opposed to their being cut down in Fangorn by elves) to...wanting to cut down trees?

Noble,

I am not anti-elf, but it so happens that the Mirkwood Elves have been waging a long offensive against their sister forest of Fangorn for quite a long time in Entmoot history. Previous Teacup threads will give you proper documentation. it's not my campaign against them, it's THEIR campaign against us!

Simple, since Tessar and the admins are abusing their powers to artificially boost X Perry Mint/Tessar's post count. A vote for X Perry Mint is a vote for the admins and mods.

True that. Same with some of the now non-posting members having something like 60k posts.

Yeah, though that was just blatant abuse. Everyone knew, but nobody said anything. This X Perry Mint thing is more subtle, though. Clearly an attempt to "create" a candidate that doesn't really exist. The Manchurian Candidate.

[Tessar]

And yet strangely he was ahead in the polls. I just don't understand you people!!

[The last sane person]

What p-olls/oles might these be?

The one's those scantily clad girls like to dance on/around/between?

[Midge]

When did these polls take place?

Hey... is that what happened? I went and looked at HOBBIT's profile and checked his post count and it said "Showing results 1-25 of 2278"

Who knew such corruption existed here?

P.S. May I also point out that hectorberlioz's profile contains such lies? His post count says here 9,030, but if you search for all his posts, it says, "Showing results 1-25 of 8,911" in the top right-hand corner! This is like, Entmoot embezzlement! Will we the 'Mooters stand for this?

I think that refers to some of my posts that are in the archive, and therefore not "living" posts. I don't have another explanation. Plus, my embezzlement didn't get me too much of a post boost, if embezzlement it was.

[Midge]

I'm just stating the facts here - telling you what my eyes can see.

[hectorberlioz]

Yeah, but I myself have no explanation! How can I be accountable for something I can't explain?


Hmm. That's actually a classic case with politicians .
