ZBomber Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Originally posted by C'jais Fair enough. But seeing as people can't vote yet, you could just have everyone join, and have people vote on whoever they like. Then tally up the 10 best and go from there. That way, everybody gets a chance. Then again, seeing as the people who run for prez can't vote themselves, you could just let everyone run. I doubt everyone would run. Meh, sounds good to me. We'll let Termie decide though, after all it was his idea..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_One Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 There's nothing to stop you standing as an independent candidate. If you have the support of enough people, you could well become a perfectly legitimate President. Why you would want to, though, is another question entirely Spoons can be bent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I go out of town for just a couple of days, I come back, and you nail the lid on the competition. I know this competition was not on for very long, becuase I checked the forum before I left on Friday, and this thread was not here. I could have had alot of fun with this, but oh well... too late now I guess. Anyways, thanks for nothing. Edit- Even in the most backwoods countries in the world, candidates are not chosen this quickly. You guys really should re-think your campaign system.

I think you would be a much better and more appropriate candidate than most people on that list (including myself). If you want you can take my spot, I think you'd make a better President than me anyway (most people in this thread seem to think so;)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pad Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 i think it sucks you cant add yourself as you were too late too sign up or some other reason. whats the point of ppl not giving a fair choice/chance at who to vote for? why dont you first run your election like in real life with a prevote to make the vote list smaller, and afterwards, a vote for a select number off candidates who made it to the next round? that way, evryone gets a chance at entering and maybe being elected and if you dont do it, well, it aint a democracy and it looks to me you wanne keep the list small to increase your chances on winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted April 23, 2003 Author Share Posted April 23, 2003 Well, it's in the rules.. first 10, but groovy gave me 1000, ponits so well...... it's 11 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darklighter Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Does it make a difference how many candidates there are? Let everyone sign up, the votes will decide. I think everyone's taking this a little too seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted April 23, 2003 Author Share Posted April 23, 2003 Calm down guys..... it's not liek this actually effects any especially... but if you give me 300 points then you can enter from now on, i will get a mod to add the or the hopers (like groovy) and remember don't tkae it so seriously and anyway, who cares if you don't really win... gimme 300 ponits.!

Pedantic Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 We should have a primary election with everyone first, then have the top ten. This all seems rather rushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt-- Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 There's a system that works on scales as large as the American presidency and as small as student body elections. Petition before you run. Say around 20 signatures showing support. Anyone that gets upwards of that is on a ballot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
