Candidate Open House - Page 25

Thank you once again for that informative and prompt reply, Sister Golden Hair. You are, undoubtedly, the most remarkable candidate on the moot, both in your courage, and in your wisdom. May the Valar look favorably upon you, and may your songs ring like a host of silver bells and harps and trumpets in Valinor for ages to come, until the end of the days!

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 03-26-2004, 04:03 PM

Oh WOW! Um, thanks, but don't overdue it there buddy. Can't lay the crap on too thick for the voters.

Beor · 03-26-2004, 04:06 PM

Wha-? That wasnt for the voters, that was for you, dear Sister Golden Hair. My fingers type what my heart says, that is all

Yeah - especially when you consider he's not the only one doing it. We're gonna have a pretty smelly group of voters by the time this election is over!

Awwww, that's so sweet. XOXOXO!

Oh I hope team Jonathan/Ruinel can gather a significant group of voters as well

Yes! With hope and will we shall win!

If you haven't voted yet - don't forget - Jonathan for President!!! (ooh, it rhymes

)

Beor · 03-26-2004, 04:48 PM

Well, youre welcome, Sister Golden Hair, but I should thank you.

Anyway...so, spewing rhymes, huh? Great

.

So, how will you respond to an Entmoot crisis, if there is one, such as the whole thing crashes, or errors start to occur. Is there anything one can do, and if so, is there a plan in the works for such a catastrophy?

I remember that happened last year, Entmoot crashed. Luckily bmilder has back-ups in case such things happen

Beor · 03-26-2004, 05:05 PM

Really. Dang, that sucks. So what happened when it crashed? Did the whole place go down, so you couldnt even get in (I am pretty new at computers), or what, and how does he keep a backup? Does everything save in a couple of places automatically?

***Jonathan*** · 03-26-2004, 05:58 PM

Yes, the whole place went down. You couldn't do anything. It was quite funny actually, I returned to my old Tolkien group and posted there until Entmoot was restored. Or almost restored since the newest threads were gone and some people's posts had disappeared.
Bmilder has a backup database so if Entmoot goes down, there is no need to worry.

Have mercy.

Ruinel · 03-26-2004, 07:37 PM

Beor, and others... a lot of your questions have to do with what would an admin do in this or that case... not a president. Remember that the position of president does not qualify that person to have admin access to the board.

How about some non-administrative questions for the candidates.

Oh wait, I'm a canidate.

I don't know how to sweet talk the masses.

Sing out for politics! *thp*

I don't know how to sweet talk the masses either, don't feel left out. And Jonathan and I don't have a political machine behind us dishing out lavish praise or PM'ing sweet nothings to people.

All I can say is that what you see is what you get...

both Jonathan and I are Tolkien fans. JRRT never wrote a book we didn't like. I personally own many of the HoME books, as well as The Hobbit, The Sil, and all LotR volumes. I've read them many times.

Both Jonathan and I have opened many informative, thought provoking, and popular threads

... including some that were quite entertaining

.

Since the position of president does not hold any power at all at Entmoot, you can't expect that person to punish policy/rule breakers, or fix the Moot if it ever goes down. The president is only as powerful as he/she makes the position to be... IOW, you should be voting for someone that you think can

bring dignity to the position,
that is fair,
that knows the board fairly well,
that can assist new users and give them help when needed (example, tags, outside links, etc.),
that is wise and contributes to the threads,
that would not use the position for his/her own gain,
that above all else, knows his/her Tolkien.

I think that the Jonathan/Ruinel team represents all of those aspects. If I didn't think that Jonathan was a good candidate, I would have run for president myself, without him. But I chose to be his running mate, because I believe he'd do justice to the position and make Entmoot proud.

If I was unscrupulous (like some) and pandered to flattery (again, like some), I'd hold back on teaching Beor Quenya. But that's not my style.

I don't hold him not voting for the right candidate team against him... not in the least.

Well aren't you special?

I'm sure we won't hold it against Jonathan for his choice of the wrong running mate, not at all.

Poor Jonathan.

I repeat...
vote for a candidate that...

brings dignity to the position
that would not use the position for his/her own gain,
that is fair.

If you are voting for SGH, you might want to rethink your vote.

**Nurvingiel** · 03-26-2004, 08:27 PM

Erm..... isn't it illegal to campaign during an election?

Local regulations vary, but it seems odd...

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 03-26-2004, 08:43 PM

Ruinel, It's too bad that as we come near to the end of the election that you feel so desperate, that you have to resort to a smear campaign.
