Goodness, looks like all the candidates are biding their time. I haven't seen an announcement of candidacy yet!
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Folks, I realize that the idea of following Fanfie and me is a little daunting, but, really, you get to put "Your Leader" or some such as your title for a whole year! It's fun! Posted by Calm Yo Tits on :
Y'all broke hoes need to get to steppin up.
Posted by Anita Cocktail on :
Ha! Ha!
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Anita, are you not taking this seriously?
I certainly hope you are not. Why do you think I suggested you run in the first place?
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
I'd vote for Auntie Anita!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Bloody Liberty! Doesn't anyone want to be seduced by absolute power? We need some candidates for leader!
Don't make me make a mockery of this!
I swear, I'll run for leader with Nightcrawler as my deputy with the promise to promote him to co-leader! I'll do it!
. . . . . Actually, I might do that. That could be fun.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
The Cobalt Kid / Nightcrawler ticket is officially in business!
The plan:
Cobie runs for leader. Cobie makes Nighty co-leader Cobie steps down to become Deputy leader Nightcrawler ipso facto is elected leader of Legion World! He's too great a guy to ever run himself!
Plus, I get the satisfaction of pulling one over on the other candidates, should they ever exist! And will be recorded as winning an election, if it happens! Yay!
I highly recommend other candidates with similar sneaky plots (I'm looking at you Lash & Ester) find your own heroic running mates to compete. Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
PS - don't worry, I'll ask Nighty for his permission to be my running mate...after we win and I crown him leader.
Posted by Exnihil on :
That Cobalt Kid thinks he's so smart.
Consolidating the leadership of Legion World and the LMB under a single crown? He calls that political corruption?
I wrote the book on corruption, my friend.
Hmmm... if I were to run... who would my running mate be? I could highlight the absurdity of this political process by simply choosing someone at random, I suppose.
I've always been fond of the number, "247". Let me just consult the Legion World membership directory and see who falls on Page 2, number 47...
Oh!
Oh, that is just delicious!
I, Exnihil, hereby declare my candidacy for LMB Leader, running on a ticket with my close personal friend...
The Election Tyrant!
Now that's corruption.

Bah! Let the war debate begin!

I already served once! (And anyway, I don't have a thing to wear to the seduction. Sorry.) Posted by Calm Yo Tits on :
If y'all broke triflin hoes don't take this shizz more serious, ima throw my tits into the ring. And yes this is for real real... not a fanta sea!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Who would be your running mate? The Colonial?

That hoe old.

Maybe it's time for EDE to run!
Posted by Raging Bull on :
Isn't there a list of former leaders and deputies somewhere? I recall seeing it at some point. There are a few people I'd like to nominate, but only if they haven't already served.
Posted by Exnihil on :
But point of clarity: there is no allowing for nominations. One can only run themselves, not nominate.
Which is why I'm running with Nighty as a running mate with the idea to step down and let him be leader! In other words, I'm circumventing the rules and running on his behalf!
Posted by Dev - Em on :
Good luck to all...
Posted by The Election Tyrant on :
After many years of fixing *cough* administering LMB elections, I think it's only right that I run. I accept Exnihil's offer.
Vote Ex and Tyrant. You don't want to know what will happen if you don't! Posted by The Election Tyrant on :
Being a sporting Tyrant and all, the Election Tyrant reminds all who would enter the election that the deadline to announce candidacy is Saturday evening.
Posted by Jerry on :
Because YOU demanded it !!
PB & J, the team that sticks together, and to the roof of your mouth, is officially in the race.
For your consideration as leader:
POWER BOY
Because he's got the power and because he's a boy.
Jerry - Just in case PB breaks a nail in the middle of an awesome battle, has a nervous breakdown mid-term, or just needs a nap.
Bring on the fluffers.
Posted by Power Boy on :
Thanks Jerry. That was incredible.
Posted by The Election Tyrant on :
The Election Tyrant hereby calls nominations closed.
Announced candidates are:
Exnihil and The Election Tyrant Nightcrawler and Cobalt Kid Power Boy and Jerry

This election just isn't doing much for me. I think what it needs is more pageantry. But swimsuits are too undignified, not to mention passe'.
I've decided to give my vote to whichever candidate promises to serve out their entire term dressed like Major Victory.
Who will have the courage to bring glamour (not to mention swingy hips and green-tinted brilliantine) back to elected office? I'm waiting to hear from you!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Coincidentally, I have a Major Victory outfit handy just in case! Consider it done!
Posted by Jerry on :
In the Adult LMB Story, it was shown that Power Boy is destined to grow up to become Major Victory, wearing that exact costume. He's already working on getting the swinging hip thing down. His efforts are impressive. Cleome, I promise to do everything I can to keep that story "in continuity" - if you know what I mean.

So... what else do you two stick to?
Posted by Jerry on :
We stick to business, Baby!

I expected to do much more hip thrusting while running for office.
