Greetings, Legion World citizens. It is once again time to elect your powerless, figurehead sham of a leader for the Legion of Message Board Posters. This officer's hope is that you at least do no worse in your choice than you have in the past.

Anyone who posts on Legion World can be considered a member of the LMB, so all posters are eligible.

What does the LMB leader do? *sigh* Not very much. The position is purely honorary. If there are any roleplays, your role would be prominent, I suppose. If there are fanfics over in Bits, you may be identified as leader should they be set during that time frame. And I'm quite certain your service will be noted in LMB historical documents. The only thing you will definitely be doing is running the subsequent election that determines your successor.

Please, only participate for the fun of it. This is how we of Legion World honor the old tradition of LSH leaders being elected by the fans. It's not intended as a poularity contest or to upset the feeling of community we have here. This is your chance to roast your peers with wicked abandon and parody what, in the real world, is little more than an excuse for a media frenzy.

The official rules:

1. The initial campaign season will last for one week. After that, polls will open for one week, allowing the members of Legion World to vote for their choice for leader.

2. Only one ID per poster is allowed to run/vote.

3. To declare yourself a candidate for LMB leader, simply announce your candidacy on the Election Discussion Thread , within the next week. The Election Discussion Thread shall be used for all general comments or questions regarding the election both by candidates and non-candidates.

4. Each candidate is permitted to start one official campaign thread in the MMB. One may also campaign in various “establishment” threads (Café Cramer, The Security Office, etc.) if the owner of that thread permits it. Candidates may also use the shoutbox and their signature to promote their campaign, within the spirit of the general guidelines for posting on Legion World.

5. Voters shall be permitted to use The Official LMB Leader Election Debate Thread to ask potential candidates their opinion on important Legion World issues.

6. This thread shall be reserved for official announcements regarding the election. For example, procedures for actually voting will be announced closer to the time that the polls open.

7. Have fun with this. The point is to be goofy and silly and make absurd campaign promises and preposterous allegations against your opponents. It really doesn’t matter who wins. Again, this is not a popularity contest of any sort. Nor is this supposed to turn into something that will cause the moderators or owners of this site any additional stress or work. It’s just for fun.

Good luck to all participants in advance as we open this exercise in depravity.

--The Election Tyrant

In the past two elections, the procedure has involved the use of runnings mates (predetermined Leader / Deputy Leader combos). This has been widely applauded and so it shall once again be the case.

Both this thread and the Election Discussion thread should be headlined.

The Election Debate thread, must sink or swim in the MMB based on the level of popularity here. In other words, candidates, start making it interesting.

It might be helpful to actual post dates here, as not all of us are here daily, have have no idea when campaigning began, or will end.

Beginning at midnight EST tonight, the voting period of this election will begin. For your vote to be counted, you must:

1) PM your vote to me, the Election Tyrant.

2) After PMing your vote, post to the forthcoming thread entitled April 2011 Election: Record your vote here to state that you have voted via said Private Message. You need only state that you have voted. You don't have to specify what your vote was in the thread.

Your vote will count ONLY if you do both of these things. And only ONE vote may be cast per poster. Multiple votes cast from one person via multiple IDs will not be counted!

To recap your choices:

Rockhopper Lad & Fanfic Lady

Dev Em & Cobalt Kid

Tempest & Lard Lad

Rickshaw & Future King

I'd say good luck, but with this list, its doubtful... shake

The polls will be open until midnight EST one week from today.
