Why Tessar moderates it? I have no problem with Tessar the person, but he has already stated he supports SGH, and therefore it would be a bit unfair... depends of course - what would be the moderator of the Entmoot Elections jobs.

And, I can't see why Ruinel can't post instead of Jonathan in the campaign thread. She's the VP after all, so when the President is on vacation she suppose to be president for a while instead of him, if elected, right? (if you understand me....)

Yes, I understand you. But she's not the VP. She'll be the VP if Jonathan wins the election. But, anyway, the debate is not for VPs it's for candidates to President, and Ruinel is not.

Hey Fat Middle, I don't understand something. Can I [i]either[/] vote or PM you, subject to punishment if I do both? And maybe Tessar would know better, but is the poll supposed to say "What would you do if you saw some one with a 'Bored of the Rings' book?"? What I'm I supposed to be voting for again?

I agree. Also - Jonathan will be back on Sunday. I think everyone can wait until Monday for Jonathan to come online. He should state how he feels about things - people shouldn't be speaking for him.

Jonathan for President.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkk.
I guess that people should be happy that she is not running for President.
I wonder if Jonathan wins if her VP would still insult people if they disagree with their ideas.

SGH, I really hope that you win. Not only is she nice to other people, but she and Fat middle had the idea to create a sub-fora for the Silmarillion Project.

“What does the term american refers to” asked the boy, and the wise man answered: “Lets look at the dictionary then.”
As an adjective American is:
1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture.
2. Of or relating to North or South America, the West Indies, or the Western Hemisphere.
As a noun American is:
A native or inhabitant of America.
A citizen of the United States.

Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again:
1. The United States.
2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America.

Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?”
The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.”
The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance.

Ok... good.

I actually agree with what JD said about Jonathan speaking for himself. I shouldn't be debating for him.

BTW... will we have a debate for the VPs?

Just curious, but do you have to be a pansy all of the time? Or does your pansy contract allow you to give it a break. This might be one of those times, if it's allowed.

Also... that should be... "I wonder if Jonathan wins if HIS VP would still...blablabla...." Jonathan is a "HE".

EDIT: BTW, Maedhros... just remember who attacked who here. You don't come to this forum for quite some time and now only to insult me? I've stayed clear of you for quite some time, even to the point of refraining from posting in the Sil Forum, my all time favorite book . I think you should give me the same courtesy.

Nurvingiel, Hector and myself are going to reorganize our campaigns. As it looks now, only one of us will be running for the presidency.

The election is for the Presidents. All candidates don't even need a running mate - they can simply pick a VP if they wish once elected.

I don't really see a point for a VP debate, since it isn't really that important.

Maedhros hardly ever comes to GMs and was only brought here to this thread by the board wide announcement probably. You're lashing out at him is probably not helpful to Jonathan's campaign.

And the first thing he posts is a personal attack on me? And you condone this? Why?

I'm just asking him to keep his distance from me since I've stayed quite clear of him, like I said... even to the point where I've completely stayed out of The Sil forum. And, as you are already aware, The Sil is my favorite book. That's quite a sacrifice I made for harmony. I'm only asking that if he comes here to GM, that he refrains from personally attacking me.

EDIT: If he's going to be allowed to attack me all over the 'Moot.. then maybe I should leave.

Hmmm... maybe I should have run for Pres like I originally planned.

I am impartial in my questions. I expect SGH to have just as hard, or easy, a time as every one else answering them.


Heck I haven't even talked with her in forever .

Ok... I've come to the conclusion that SGH and Maedhros will be using me against Jonathan . I will consider withdrawing as his VP when he returns on Sunday. But I think I should talk to Jonathan first.

Kinda odd, don't you think? JD withdrew because people were using him to sway people against Jonathan... now the same is happening with me as his VP. Yet, no one can say anything against Jon. Why? Because actually, he's a pretty nice guy (despite the corruption of the One Thong ). He's smart, cordial, and diplomatic. He'd make a great pres. And since I'm not running... my vote goes to him. And anyone who would have voted for Jonathan because I was running as his VP, you should give your votes to Jon.

I don't think Maedhros is involved here, but, I am not useing you for anything. If you wish to withdraw, that is your choice. It isn't that serious. The election is for fun. Quit being so sensitive.

I noticed you didn't answer my question about why you would condone his misbehavior. tisk tisk... I would think that your admin duties come first, before anything else.

You have a PM. It would not be advisable to continue this discussion in open forum.

Funny isn't it? How we can't escape from the way elections go in the world outside the internet?
