Elanor's Angel · 01-13-2008, 09:10 PM

And do you have cookies?

klatukatt · 01-13-2008, 11:00 PM

Of course we have cookies. We have all sorts of cookies.

Now, do YOU have cookies? Especially cookies that cater to a (a-ha) different sort of taste?

Elanor's Angel · 01-13-2008, 11:04 PM

Yes, and our cookies are better than yours...

klatukatt · 01-13-2008, 11:13 PM

Really. Do you have elf cookies?

Elanor's Angel · 01-13-2008, 11:15 PM

We have all cookies!

**Mari** · 01-14-2008, 06:36 AM

Who cares about cookies? How about tea?

So Klatukatt, under your rule there will be no rules then? Sounds... anarchical.

hectorberlioz · 01-14-2008, 05:26 PM

I propose that all the candidates

LAY OUT THEIR FIVE-POINT PLATFORMS

and then we can have them answer these five questions:

FOREIGN POLICY
1) Who is the bigger threat to Fangorn/Entmoot: Mirkwood or Mordor?

TAXES
2) Will you raise taxes; how much; what will it do for the ecolog--er, economy of Entmoot? Do you support a diaper tax?

LAWS
3) Do you support an amendment to ban all taking of Tolkien's name in vain?

DOMESTIC PROBLEMS
4) What will you do for the middle class mooters without Health Care?

ENVIRONMENT
5) Data shows that the Teacup Cafe is the singles biggest contributer to Coffee emissions in Mirkwood. Will you put a cap on emissions?

hectorberlioz · 01-14-2008, 05:47 PM

And just in case none of you have a clue about the issues, here's the multiple choice version

.

FOREIGN POLICY
1) Who is the bigger threat to Fangorn/Entmoot: Mirkwood or Mordor?

a)Mirkwood
b)Mordor
c) what?

TAXES
2) Will you raise taxes; how much; what will it do for the ecolog--er, economy of Entmoot? Do you support a diaper tax?

a) yes; a lot; nothing; you bet
b) no
c) none of the above; I have my own ideas
d) what the heck are taxes?

LAWS
3) Do you support an amendment to ban all taking of Tolkien's name in vain?

a) yes
b) no
c) maybe
d) it depends
e) only if I find out it's what the voters want
f) no response
g) who's tolkien?

DOMESTIC PROBLEMS
4) What will you do for the middle class mooters without Health Care?

a) nothing
b) everything
c) what's health care?

ENVIRONMENT
5) Data shows that the Teacup Cafe is the single biggest contributer to Coffee emissions in Fangorn. Will you put a cap on emissions?

a) yes...I hate coffeee
b) no...I love coffee too much
c) maybe...I prefer tea
d) eggnog is better
e) what's the Teacup Cafe?

And if you want my advice, go for a platform that you can actually fulfill. The 90-second rule? Here to stay.

Sorry. And the 'moot just got two upgrades, I think there's not that much (technically) you can still improve. Unless it is that tricksy access-problem some of us keep experiencing.

Why is nobody running on a platform to lauch, say a chapter-by-chapter Hobbit discussion? We did all the other books. Why not organise another project? Many of us still have fond memories of the Entmoot mud-wrestling competition, nationstates, or the entmoot calendar something similar, but not identical, could be fun. Mind you, I do like the idea of a entmoot-wiki, a lot, but bear in mind that project flatlined earlier, so a new approach may be in order. I'd vote for something like that, if I voted at all.

Be inventive, people!

Hoom!

.

Ok, it was lame, but it was fun

The last sane person · 01-14-2008, 06:20 PM

It needed work, before it could work, but it was fun. Heh, we were just lucky his PMbox wasnt already full...

No kidding

. And you know, he never would tell me how many PMs he got, but it musta been a lot. I rallied up 30 mooters or such for that stunt.

The last sane person · 01-14-2008, 06:22 PM

Heh, boombarded by pop up windows for his PMbox. Yeah, that kinda fun stuff is first priority in my book.
