Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Every 10 Years Forum The Official LMB Leader Election Debate Thread: January 2008 Edition

This thread is for asking the candidates for LMB leader any questions relevant to making up your mind whom to vote for. See the Official Rules Thread for details on the election.

This debate is largely a free for all, and posters should feel free to ask either general questions directed to every candidate or ones directed to more specific candidates. Candidates may respond to one another's points, and may ask one another questions as well.

Candidates, who have yet to declare:

1. What is your position on waffles?

2. What is your position on waffling?

Oops I threw my top er hat into the ring of the wrong thread. Perhaps a Rich Daddy Figure can clean up the mess.

1 Waffles are good any time of day. Especially with strawberries and whipped cream.

2 Waffling is something I tolerate only in my weak willed boyfriend. My opponents should be wary not to waffle, cuz that's ground for a smacking.

Waffles? What are waffles?

I apologize, Ms. Cramer, but I still have a lot to learn about being human.

Are waffles small creatures of some sort? And would "waffling" refer to hunting said creatures?

Oh, my! I am quite opposed to hunting for sport!

Does that answer your questions?!?!

Candidates, what would be your opinion of the LMB's next recruit being a hero whose power is causing weird effects by bouncing his pectoral muscles? Think a pec-flexing Tyroc-type Good idea? Bad idea? Somewhere in between?

In general I am against such deus ex machina type powers, though I might be persuaded to make an exception. I would need to examine the pulsing pecs in question privately before making a judgment.

I am neither rich nor a daddy, but your faux pas no longer exists.

Candidates:

1) Cake or pie?

2) Pancakes on bunnies. Your opinion.

3) Should Britney Spears have visitation with her children? Why or why not?

4) What do you think about people riding in the subway pantsless?

5) Which of the currently available avatar do you think I should use next?

Free Waffles for Everyone!

Waffling is fun, especially when you do it to the young uns and they get all, like, "hurry up" and stuff.

Excellent Idea and I am sure I can ask one of the girls around here to make sure such a hero is in perfect fighting trim.

1) I don’t see why we should force people to choose. I suggest they can have both if they want as often as they want and be able to change between pie and cake as often as they want.

2) Yummy. A good rabbit stew is the food of the gods. Putting a pancake there means you get desert as well.

3) Who is Britney Spears, is she one of the Berkshire Spears? Should one have seen her during the season?

4) We should do all we can to encourage Pov to get out more and if he wants to use the subway then he should.

5) As you are a fine fellow with impeccable taste I would never dream of attempting to influence your choice of Avatars. Whatever you choose will, I am sure be noble upstanding and decent.

Faraway Lad, do you plan on formally declaring you candidacy?

Sorry m'lady. I guess my declaration must of got lost in the post. So if you will accept this as a declaration I would be eternally in your debt.

Can the other candidates answer this question?

1) Pie without a doubt.
2) You describe a crepe I had once, the fillets were served raw. It was not nice tasted quite earthy.
3) Irresponsible people shouldn't have babies. Though I encourage them to have fun before they are crushed by their responsibilities.
4) Are they hot or do they have spindly chicken legs? While I have no business telling people what to wear I would suggest to participants that a little vanity makes the world more aesthetically pleasing.
5) Again I have no preference on members avatars might I suggest a silver age classic.

That seems an odd power! But as mine and my father's powers originate from fat cells, I see no reason to oppose it!

1) Gosh! I'm only a year old, and you want me to answer the most important question facing mankind? Sure! The answer is cheescake--the best of both worlds!

2) As long as they aren't used to trap poor, helples waffles for hunting, I have no problem with this.

3) Who or what is a "Britney Spears"?

4) If there's no law prohibiting pantslessness on the subway, I have no issue with this. Otherwise, I am a law-abiding sentient.

5) It would do my heart well to see you use one of father's old avatars in tribute. I miss him dearly. But only do so if you fancy the idea.

Nope. The rules say you can ask specific candidates questions!

Bah do I have to vote? What if I want to reject the ballot?

Candidates: what is your position on the LMB and foreign entanglements?

Candidates: I'm thinking of having my tail-feathers frosted. Will this make my butt look big?

Voting is important and declining voter turnout is a symptom of systemic malaise. My campaign is really designed to improve turnout amongst the youths by appealing to their sensibilities.

I encourage all the MMB gals who want my life of partying, shopping and laying a beating on bad guys to come out to vote for me. I also wanna tell all the MMB boys that wanna get with me to come out and vote. I love you all and will work for you non-stop if elected.

I've been a fair share of foreign entanglements while traveling on business myself. While it's always better to choose situations you can maintain control in, sometimes things get out of hand. Usually these cases can be settled with large yet discrete gratuities to the hotel housekeeping staff and the concierge desk.

If elected I will have Cobie er all LMBers itemize these gratuities on expense reports so that we can track and train to reduce these entanglements in the future.

As for large scale military entanglements, I'm running against the war industries. Though I'm not a pacifist I'd prefer to Make Merry and Not War.

Sorry Rocky, we girls never answer such loaded questions. Though we maintain the perogative to ask them to our hapless boyfriends.

Rocky, I suggest using holosimulation to frost your tail-feathers and deciding for yourself. I use it all the time and ask my hapless boyfriends after anyway because I enjoy seeing them twist in the wind.

A question for Dr. Mayavale (if he runs this time): Who was I in our past life (lives) and how are the karmic scales between us?

For all candidates: who would you rather have for entertainment at your Inaugural festivities: Warren Buffet or Jimmy Buffet?

My dad told me about you before he died--and to remind you about those incriminating holos of you he left me in case you ever got out of line!

I don't care who you vote for, but vote and/or don't hinder the election process--and they'll stay out of sight. Savvy?

I'd probably untangle them.


If it did, I'd never be so rude as to tell. However, you've lost much weight and really gotten into good shape lately, so I doubt that would be a problem!

Excuse me...are these sentient food spreads or something? I would never hire a sentient to entertain me and then eat him! That would be beyond rude!

There's no need to choose:

Warren for the rich daddies looking to pad their oh so cute daughters' trust funds;

Jimmy for the rich daddies who think (mistakenly) that they're cool enough to hit on their daughters' friends;

a different band for most of the rest of us;

and a Seafood Buffet for all.
