On the contrary dear Gwaimir! Luck is the be-all and end-all of any successful nation (or Moot)! You have to do the right things at the right time and with the right attitude - which is difficult - if you have no luck.

Voters, in less than 2 days the Entmoot Election Ballotbox will be opened and you may vote our heart out on that one vote (Only one). So think carefully, take a deep breath, consider your options, and vote Coffee, Noble & Insidious (Three's a Charm) into office!!!

Be you an Elf, a Dwarf, a Hobbit, a Woman, a Man, a thin, small, large, big, young, old, weird, normal, conservative, radical or just a plain geeky Tolkien-nerd... We'll serve you

Vote the Entmoot Freedom Party - Because it's nice to be Free

Are you? I didn't know that you were partly Swedish. Then again, with the two countries being so close, lots of Norwegians are partly Swedish.

I can proudly boast to be an Entmootian citizen. I belong to Entmoot and her glorious Forest-City on the Hill. Hail Entmoot!

That's exactly what we mean about Entmoot being a micronation!
I'm completely with you on that!

Three is a basis. What more balanced structure than a three-legged stool? And no inked, stools will not be the only things you'll be able to sit on if we get chosen. You'll have the freedom to sit on whatever you like - as long as it doesn't oppose it. Freedom for all!

[Insidious Rex]

Im sure I dont need to inform you all of the powerful significance of the number 3. The Universal Triad. The Trinity. The Three Fates. The Three Graces. The Faerie Triad (Oak, Ash, and Thorn). Past, present and future. Maiden, mother and crone. In many cultures the number 3 represents perfection (after trying more than one different way). In others (and perhaps even in Tolkien's worlds) it represents wisdom and divinity. So dont you want your candidates to be wise, divine and striving for perfection? Vote for the Triad!

Vote for the Triad?

I can do without organised crime

Dears voters, pardon silly Jonathan for his interest in the Chinese Triad - it is a Hectorian Imp of the Mind - forgive him!

Instead cherish the true meaning of our Triad-candidacy, as found in its Greek original meaning, simply three

triad

in chemistry, any of several sets of three chemically similar elements, the atomic weight of one of which is approximately equal to the mean of the atomic weights of the other two. Such triads-including chlorine-bromine-iodine, calcium-strontium-barium, and sulfur-selenium-tellurium-were noted by the German chemist J.W. Dobereiner between 1817 and 1829. The triad was the earliest atomic-weight classification of the elements.

Tsk, tsk, again with the patriarchal assumptions. At least you're not running for office.

[hectorberlioz]

I wonder why Valandil is keeping so quiet on this subject? I wonder if...

He's the one behind X Perry Mint!

[Jonathan]

The day is here

I suppose that any time soon, a benevolent mod will announce the Ballot Box to be open and maybe put a link to it in the Election Announcement.

Vote or be oppressed.

[Entmoot Election]

The Ballot Box is now officially OPEN!

You can now vote by sending a PM with the name of your candidate to this account.

The Ballot Box will be closed again on the 7th of May by official notice. Only votes that are sent in between the official opening and closing of the box will be considered valid.

Which means that the three smartasses who sent in their vote already, better sent it in again, as their first vote was invalid.

Let the voting commence!
