Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Every 10 Years Forum Is it time for another election?

Why does Thora hate men? I thought Thora was a man. Or is that avatar of someone else?

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 the "Yes I've Agreed To Run For Leader SO Please Vote For Me" thread.

***Please DO NOT post on that 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 that 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

Alright! This seems good to me, great job guys. And you've continued the tradition of the leaders making up the guidelines to the next elections.

And with voting still going on the 29th, this gives Fat Cramer two days to vote after she gets back online!

Now don't forget to post in that thread Outdoor Miner!

Actor Lad, Owl Lad and others, nominate yourselves!

Hang it all out there, and watch the maddness ensue!

New members can run too!

Kent_Shakespeare, Cad Lad, Dirt-Boy, Peck's Bad Boy?, Zoortecho: all of you can toss your hats into the ring! Don't have a hat? I'll loan you one!

Cool candidate list so far. It's shaping up to be one of the more viscious elections yet!

Vote Umber! A vote for Umber means a fresh, stylish new girl leader: just what Legion World needs to keep all the masculinity in check around here .

Besides, her innaugeration party is going to be pajama one, and I just got this new silk nightie that looks great. *Especially* when I bend over .

I dunno. I think half the candidates are Cobie.

Thank you for like the compliments, Space Tart! *excited chirp*

Spacy, I uh, dropped my voting form. You couldnt bend over and pick it up for me could you?

No problem Faraway Lad! I know you're a gentlemen and won't peek under my ultra-short skirt either!

*Swoon!* What a dreamy English accent!

I'm glad to see a list of candidates already!:

Obadiah Oldbuck
Koko
Sir Prize
Computo Jr.
Dr. Mayavale
Umber
Sanity or Maddness
Actor Lad
Outdoor Miner
Thora

One last question I was wondering about was where the voting itself should be held. There seems to be a lot of people who think it should be held on the LMB Yahoo Group instead of the Vote-a-matic forum here on Legion World. Vee and Quis, what do you think?

(We have over a week to figure this out)

I'm not Vee or Quis, but that's never stopped me before. I think I favor a vote on the LMB Yahoo forum for the following reasons:

a) The vote would be unalterable, unless Cruey & Pov have secret powers we don't know about.

b) It might drum up business in the Yahoo group. A link to said group & voting instructions would easily be provided here in a VOTE! thread.

c) Uness they've stated differently, I believe that holding the vote at the LMB site is the preference of the founders of Legion World, Scott & Gary.

d) It's traditionally where the LMB Leader vote is held.

PS:

*chirp of emphasis*

Ooh, you're sexy when you get all administrative Umber!

Ever think of wearing office clothes to drive the boys wild?

If Scott & Gary prefer the LMB board, that's fine by me.

Don't know how non-Yahoo people would feel about having to sign up at another board in order to vote, though.

If we do go there, we'll at least need to give those folks enough time to get registered.

and all our real life candidates anymore seem to be Yalies. I think they just swap the hairpiece.

Like, Umber and I go shopping for clothes at Abercrombie & Bitch all the time!

And why are you, y'know, blue and stuff? I got blue once when I, like, choked on a saltine cracker I had for lunch.

I, like, learned my lesson after that. Now I only eat water for lunch!
