Yup! It's time!

The candidates have campaigned for just over a week, they've been trying to earn your vote... and not it is time to decide who will lead the General forum until I can be bothered to run another election!

The candidates are:

Legless Pirates-Anarchist
Zwange-Evil World Empire
Kanabia-democratic libertarian communist
Torching Witches-"Building Bridges" Party
Neo Latium-The Logic Party
Soviet Democracy-Common sense party
Stephistan/Myrth-Mod Party
The Phoenix Milita-Evil World Empire
Iztatepopotla - Half minded.

comments are welcome, as well as the candidates, who may discuss the vote and information! The losing candidates are allowed to contest the vote if they feel it was rigged, but MY DECISION WILL BE FINAL.

may the best candidate win! the result will be declared tomorrow! vot in the poll above!

And yes, the Candidates are permitted to vote for themselves... it's a free vote... but no puppets please.
The Imperial Navy

Would've been nice if people posted that they voted and discuss...

But anyway, I've casted my vote.

I think the option you voted for goes into itallics mate.

However:

OMFG THE FUCKING MODS ARE TRYING TO INFLUENCE YOUR VOTE, KILL THEM, KILL THEM ALL, ANARCHY.

Meh I'll vote for someone eventually. Maybe.

Hmm... interesting... Kanabia is only 1 vote behind the mods... this is suspicious...

Was that slap because I was correct? Or because you hate admitting you're wrong?

I was slapping my forhead becase I can't believe I'm so stupid.

It's neck and neck between the mods and Kanabia! Please note I will be checking the public vote when it is over, and if I suspect that there were puppets involved, then the candidate will be disqulified!

that's because I refuse to allow Nazi scum to rule the forum.
The Imperial Navy
02-11-2004, 11:36
The mod party is back in the lead!

Also for some reason none of the actual candidates are around!
Kanabia
02-11-2004, 11:39
Hmm... interesting... Kanabia is only 1 vote behind the mods... this is suspicious...

I swear, I haven't rigged that. How dare you accuse me :p

Seriously, it was as much a surprise to me. A pleasant one though :D
The Imperial Navy
02-11-2004, 11:48
well, it's neck and neck almost between Kanabia and The mods... the mods have a 2-vote lead, but when it gets more busy, the action may hot up...
The Imperial Navy
02-11-2004, 11:54
The other competetors are comming of the voting line-this could get VERY close! we my even end up with a tie!
The Imperial Navy
02-11-2004, 12:09
Hmm... everyone here currently must have all voted... it's stopped going up.
The Imperial Navy
02-11-2004, 12:18
The mods and Kanabia are neck and neck again! wow this is so close! SOMEBODY STOP ME!

*Smack*

Unless I am mistaken, it appears that I voted without even knowing it. When I tried to submit my ballot, I was informed that I already had voted in this election.....

Well, the beneficieries of my ballot were and are the same regardless.

No reason to change the system when you are satisfied with its current operation.

I for one support our Mod overlords.

Now can you please release my family unharmed, thanks

Steph and Myrth

'nuff said
Moontian
02-11-2004, 12:56
Hmm, this is interesting. Most of the candidates haven't voted yet.

BTW, I voted for Steph, simply because she's the only one who could actually DO something. If it was an election between mods, it might have been interesting.

Yeah, that's why I'd want Myrth as General dictator; erm I mean president!!!! Plus, for a Mod he and Cogitation are hilarious

It seems the main ringers of this election will be Kanabia and the mods. I'm guessing it has somthing to do with Kanabias choice of government... Liberatarian democratic communist.

Might I say one last thing.

I would love to have your vote. I believe I can work well with the mods in your best interest. I want this place to be fun and there to not be too many rules. But I also believe there should be rules in order to protect people from spammers, flamers, and others who abuse the forums at the expense of you. I will fight to protect your freedoms.

PS - I am not a Communist!
