Entmoot Election 2008: Official Campaigning Thread

hectorberlioz · 03-17-2008, 12:09 PM

I know there's another thread on this, but since that one was mostly discussion anyways, I thought a new one was needed. If Earniel merges these two...I swear

, I'll put frogs in your underwear drawer

.

Elections Day for the 'Moot is only half a month away! What are we doing waiting to get things going?

LET THE DEBATES BEGIN!!

Nautipus · 03-17-2008, 12:15 PM

What is to be debated?

**Mari** · 03-17-2008, 12:25 PM

Good question!

We could start with "Why we need debates, an election, or a president"

And *I*, as a voter, can say, straight up, that no one who has posted fewer than 4 times per month since 2008 started has, in my opinion, qualified for the residency requirement.

Nautipus · 03-17-2008, 01:58 PM

4 per month, eh? Seems fair enough. Now: What questions shall we raise to the candidates for their consideration?

If you must. But if you want to threaten me, pick something I'd actually mind.

So, who are all the candidates this year?

***Jonathan*** · 03-17-2008, 03:42 PM

So, which mooters are running again?

And will there be an admin/a mod "in charge" of the actual voting process?
Edit: Perhaps the above poster?

***Tessar*** · 03-17-2008, 03:46 PM

If this just turns into another spammy thread, I'm merging it

.

Do we -really- need another election thread? Really?

hectorberlioz · 03-17-2008, 04:06 PM

Tessar, you are so strict and mean. You remind me of those Nuns who rap the hands of schoolchildren everytime the kids pick up their pencils

.

The question of who will recieve the votes....wasn't Fat Middle "Mr Ballot Box 2004"? Yeesh, he's been gone for a long time

. I propose that Tessar be burdened with the task of creating "Mr Ballot Box 2008" and maintaining it's account.

The question of who is running: at this point

Mari-Elevated Party

Klatukatt-Tyrannical Party

Jammi567-Heroic/Entmootian Party

Trolls' Bane/Elanor's Angel-Brendonian Party

Nurvingiel/Acalewia-Extraordinary Party

Finrod Felagund/Last Sane Person-Constructionist Party

IIRC, Nurv was not yet promoted to moderator when she decided to run. She may or may not want to at this point. We'll have to wait and see what she says.

I've also talked to Trolls' Bane, and I'll ask him about this next time I talk to him.

Finrod also seems to be busy. I've exchanged one or two messages with him...

Jammi doesn't seem to be Moot much anymore either, which is strange, because he was into this big time.

So what I'm asking is...if a few Veeps want to elevate themselves and announce their candidacy for top office...you might as well.

**Mari** · 03-17-2008, 04:27 PM

You forgot me ~_~
And wasn't Klatukatt running too? She said she would in the other thread.

***Jonathan*** · 03-17-2008, 04:32 PM

Psst, Mari. Hector did put Klatukatt first in his list of candidates...

**Mari** · 03-17-2008, 04:34 PM

Oops.

*smacks herself*

I thought you weren't running anymore! Make up your mind, girl!

**Mari** · 03-17-2008, 04:37 PM

Who said I wasn't? I just said I would be rather busy at the end of March.I think...?

I prefer the term 'grinchy'

As I said before, most of these people have not maintained continuous 'residency' at this board. I'm just saying. Check any of their posting history for January February.

I hate this in regular elections, too, ftr.

Indeed. So I am adding Mari back into the list. If those other folks still want to run, they'd better get back here and start typing their heads off.

**Mari** · 03-17-2008, 04:48 PM

If posting was all that mattered it would be bad. Some people just don't have time I guess.

EDIT: And sorry for the confusion Hector.

Hm, there was an account created as ballot box for last election. We might use that one again. Please hold while I kick the mod team in gear to organise this election.

**Mari** · 03-17-2008, 05:04 PM

You kick eachother!??

I so do not want to be a mod if that means I would get kicked... >_<
