Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Every 10 Years Forum Yes I've Agreed To Run For Leader SO Please Vote For Me

Unbeknownest to all of you, there have been high level discussions underway at the most high highest levels of your much beloved current administration (that means Quis & I have been talking) about how to proceed with the next election cycle.

Here's what we have decided...we've decided to cave in to the popular whim and let you have your election instead of remaining as Co-Leaders For Life. There is one little twist that we've decided to throw into it however so, read on!

1)Only self nominations will be accepted. If you want someone to run, twist their arm into declaring their candidacy by posting on this thread.

***Please DO NOT post on this thread other than to declare your candidacy. There are plenty of other threads on which to post comments about the candidates or election. I would like to keep this thread a simple list of candidates so we can refer to it easily when preparing the ballot.

2)Any poster/ID may run. (Aren't we all really Alternate IDs anyway? Last time I checked my drivers license doesn't list my name as Varalent:D)

3)If you choose to have multiple IDs of your own run that's your business. You stand as much of a chance of stealing or diluting your own vote total by doing that as anything else.

4)Candidacy declarations will commence as soon as the official thread is posted and will close at 9:PM Eastern on Tuesday, June 22.

5)The poll will be available for voting (over on Vote-O-Matic) by 9:PM Eastern on Wednesday, June 23 and will remain open until 9:PM Eastern on Tuesday, June 29.

6)Only ONE vote per person please. Neither Quis nor I have any way of verifying whether someone has stuffed the ballot box by using alt IDs to vote. I WILL NOT ask Scott or Gary to do so in order not to force them to be involved in the elections, which I believe is their expressed desire.

7)In the event of a tie (i.e. everyone gets one vote or some variation thereof ) the run-off candidates will take part in a fun competion devised by Quis, ably assisted by Vee of course, which will end no later than 9:PM Eastern on Monday, July 5.

8)The new Leader will be that poster that gets the largest number of votes in the balloting (or wins the competition, if necessary) with the runner-up declared Deputy Leader.

9)The inauguration and Inaugural Ball will take place concurrent with the first anniversay celebration of Legion World on Tuesday, July 6 at 9:PM Eastern.

Good luck everyone!

Ladies, gentlemen, sentinents all...let the games begin (oh wait...it looks like they did already )

What do we get if we win the election? Comic books, a t-shirt, a lifetime supply of Mountain Dew (Live Wire, Code Red, or plain), gadgets, or our own Pocket Universe?

I need details.

First, you get the accolades of being proclaimed Leader

Second, you get a spiffy (not to be confused with Lester Spiffy) virtual HQ which either you can design or have designed for you. Previous HQ were a Country estate and Twin Towers.

Third, you get to appoint whomever you want to whatever post/cabinet position you want. Nepotism Rules!!!!

Your only obligation is to run the next election in three months time.

Well, I guess I will be the first to officially declare my candidacy! And although my license does not read "Obadiah Oldbuck," it might as well. This ID is as close to the real me as any of us is likely to get.

Oh, and one more thing. Don't forget to stop by the FREE BEER tent to get answers to all of your questions regarding my positions on the issues, as well as FREE BEER, which can be had inthe FREE BEER tend where I am serving FREE BEER!!!

Foolish carbon lifeform. Voters do not want intoxicating liguid refreshments.

Thay want order!
They want discipline!
They want mathmatical perfection!

They want COMPUTO Jr!

<I am COMPUTO Jr., and I programed this message>

What people really want is a good mystery! Want to find out who Sir Prize really is? You'll be surprised! Ypu'll gasp with amazement! You'll be aghast!

Vote for Sir Prize!

<I'm not Sir Prize, I'm really someone else, but I still approved this message>

Koko Koko-koko KO-kokkko Ko KOKO!!

Koko-Koko! Koko koko kokoooooooo!

KOKO!

<koko KOKO, k koko KO kO KOKO>

Only a cretin wouldn't vote for me-- Thora of Taltar!

The great Ike once said:

"In the swift rush of great events, we find ourselves groping to know the full sense and meaning of these times in which we live. In our quest of understanding, we beseech God's guidance. We summon all our knowledge of the past and we scan all signs of the future. We bring all our wit and all our will to meet the question:
How far have we come in man's long pilgrimage from darkness toward light? Are we nearing the light&#8212;a day of freedom and of peace for all mankind? Or are the shadows of another night closing in upon us?"

My friends... my dear, dear friends, I offer you the knowledge of 10,000 lifetimes in pursuit of a day of freedom and peace for all of Legion World. Join me, and a new day, a day of light will truly be upon us!

I invite all of you to join me at my my Campaign Meditation Tent , and we may discuss the bright new day ahead of us! Have a puff on the sacred pipe of Loolakanda, or inhale the wheeling mists, and we will summon the knowledge of the past together, and bring it to bear on the problems of today.

And to my fellow candidates, I look forward to an honorable campaign. Ike would want it that way!

I am, like, posting here to make my candididacy or whatever you call it like, official.

To show that I am a serious candidate, I have ditched Ashe, Brocke and Cliff and declared myself a single woman!

I have also decided to adopt posting-personality traits of several prominent posters here to possibly drum up support for my campaign.

Yes. How do you like my cap? Jeepers H. DuDu! *chirp of emphasis*

Ok, I'm in.

If you like mecha, vote for me!

If you like cute gals or guys, vote for me!

If you like animal sidekicks, vote for me!

If you like to be entertained, vote for me!

I'm Outdoor Miner.

I'm running...no, that isn't the right word.

I hereby announce...nah, too stiff.

I offer myself....oh, hell no.

I am slouching towards the position of Legion World Leader. There, that's it.

Thank You.

Well, the nomination period is officially concluded and it looks like we have the following candidates in the election.

Actor Lad
COMPUTO Jr.
Doctor Mayavale
Koko
just Umber
Obadiah Oldbuck
Outdoor Miner
Sanity or Madness?
Sir Prize
Thora

If I missed anyone, please let me know right away. The election poll will be posted this evening over on the Vote-o-matic.

Congratulations to each of you and good luck in the elections!

Congratulations to everyone, and congrats to Vee, Quis and Stoopid Cat for a great term!

And just a small reminder Vee, I think FC doesn't get back until June 27 (I could be wrong), so we should let the poll run at least a little longer than that for her to vote.

Cobie, it's scheduled to run until June 29th so she'll be able to vote.

Hmmm? What happened to the ballot box? I must have done something wrong yesterday. I thought I set it up right to open at 9PM last night but it's not there.

To celebrate Election Week and all the ceremonies that will follow, I've decided to change my avatar for the time being!

May I present my formal attire, my other super-hero costume (like all good super-heroes, you can never go to a party not in costume).

There must be an error in the subroutine that displays avatars -- that doesn't look like your cheerleader outfit at all.

Congrats to our new Leader and Deputy -- and thanks to everyone, for making it such an enjoyable race!

My only regret is that we didn't get a chance to try out the run-off contest

Ah.

If I'd only have known, I would have voted for myself.

Run-off contest???
