hector,

so if there are/were some Elves causing trouble, it means we all do? Since you're not anti-Elf, I think you agree that once the possible culprits are a-caught, there'll be no reason to besmirch us. Especially I hate the fact that ye always say "Mirkwood Elves", as if we all did it. Which we don't. Also, should this be the result of the Necromancer aftermath, I'm sure we can heal my kinsmen, once our ticket wins. Does this strike you as fair?

Midge, Midge, if you wanna be president, you hafta do your research properly before jumping to conclusions. I can swear in all honesty, that I never tampered with my post count. Every post that is counted was made at some point. They just don't all show up when you search for my posts for several reasons.

So the posts you can find in a search do not always mirror the actual number of posts made. The reasons are many-fold, let me name a few:
  • Many admins and mods in the old days raised their post-count artificially to gigantic numbers to deter people from spamming to get a higher post count than the mods.
  • All original members (mods and ordinary members alike) who moved here from the old Entmoot-board kept their post-count from the old board, even if those posts do not show up in this board's search.
  • Actual posts have disappeared into glitches, such as the one that put the 'Temporary' in the Temporary Venting Thread. The post-count was not always affected. And in some cases people even asked for their post count to be adapted afterwards to what they originally had.
  • Not all the posts of the mod-team show up in the public search. Posts in deleted, hidden or certain moderation posts are not accessible through the search if your account does not have access to them.

So there.

Under the tyranny of the shadow-government of VP-candidate Hector any arbitration would be partial, biased and, as we all can see, anti-Mirkwood, which represents perhaps 1/4 of all Free creatures of Middle Earth. That's scary.

We believe it to be equally troubling the premature judgements and conclusions that candidate Midge seem to be throwing around. While supporting a tough line towards any corrupt practices of admins and mods, we'd like to emphasize the banner of justice that all democracies waive before tyranny, innocent until proven otherwise

Mine is the same way. Lots of members lost actual posts that were deleted/archived when they started trimming threads to keep them within the 1k limits, to deal with bandwidth and storage issues. The posts were made, and the post numbers remained more or less the same, its just that the actual posts themselves were removed so are no longer searchable.

However, with those that had 60k+ that was never the case and they were awarded with higher post counts for some reason or another. I've forgotten why though. However, I just noticed this with X Perry, because when I first saw him in the thread where Tessar was experimenting with his new Admin powers, the account only had 1 post. Then I saw it again in this thread and it had 100.

What Tessar said so eloquently.

What secrets? Many of these things have been mentioned on the public forum before. And besides that, you could have -you know- simply asked us. [best Monty Python impression]But you didn't bother to find out, did you?[/best Monty Python impression]

Here, fellow Entmooters, Coffeehouse shows his ignorance of Entmoot Politics. He either thinks or wants to take over ALL of middle-earth with the Entmoot Presidency!

He doesn't realize that the Forest of Fangorn is the extent of our borders. Indeed, the City of Entmoot is where the concentration of power is. One might call this a kingdom, except democratic.

On the contrary candidate Hector, we believe you fail to see what representing Entmoot truly means. Which explains the corrupted and incompetent term you previously served

Entmoot is a state of mind, an idea, a kingdom of discussion, of story-telling and of conscience. Its borders are as little contingent on geography as my interaction with any other Mooter (like you). It is shared by the elf of Mirkwood just as much as by the librarian in Minas Tirith or the hobbit in the South Farthing. Which makes Entmoot, and its de facto democratic (= everyone interacts) nature is as much a Metaphysical (and spiritual) journey as it is a Political one.

Dear voters, the Forest of Fangorn and Entmoot is the symbolism of dialogue between all readers of J.R.R. Tolkien and all free creatures of Middle Earth - which lets you travel anywhere you want, whenever you want, however long you please - pure magic

Vote for a healthy presidency that gives you the power and right to pursue your interests in a free, democratic Entmoot!

See thats the problem with veteran politicians. Ever since they made a pathway around the City of Entmoot some people cant help but resort to "inside the Pathway" thinking. Theres so much more to Middle Earth!

... says a mooter who joined just as Hector stepped down as president

During his four years in office, Hector successfully practised the policy of incompetent corruption which, in my mind, is the most brilliant rule I've ever seen! I'd have four more years of that any-time

Yep, Hector might just be the best president this board has ever had! If there was a Presidents' Hall of Fame, he'd be right at the top

Thankfully Entmoot has an archive so that all current and future Mooters can look back all the way to 1999. The Entmoot Freedom Party encourages all Mooters to use the archives - transparency is the best weapon against corruption and incompetence, and as we have shown in an earlier post, the Acally-Hector ticket is rife with it

Besides the early puppet-role that Inked has tragically been poisoned with by the Hectorian ticket (the EuroEnglish, while entertaining, also exemplifying just how schizofrenic the Hectorian corruption can be on a poor fellows mind), we also note with great sadness another bright Mooter's demise under the spell of authoritarian freedom and healthy corruption. Sweden is at a loss Jonathan, and we hope that the psychological terror of the Hectorian prison is one day cast off.

We urge all Entmootian citizens that you remember your duty, just as the Roman citizens did, of watching out for the treacherous and bullying grip of the dictator. Exercise your democratic citizenship with passion. Terror's greatest enemy is courage and unwavering principles!

Be Sam - be the gardener of Entmoot and let your ideas overturn the soil of yesterday and sprout with life into tommorrow!
