Getting? My desire was to instill panic from day one. I seem to have experienced deferred success here, as my candidacy was intended to engender pandemonium.danadelfos wrote:I'm getting scared of if you ran the board.
This, of course, brings up an important point that I cannot ignore: despite their similarities, the words "panic" and "pandemonium" do not share a common root. We get the word "panic" from the Greek deity Pan, who caused such from time to time, whereas "pandemonium" comes from Pandaemonium, meaning all demons -- the name of the capital city of hell in Milton's Paradise Lost. I would be derelict in my duties not to point this out.
Must you remind me of this tragic fact?danadelfos wrote:Zedekiah this isn't a communist organization.
Of course, I wasn't really going for communism, but more of an anti-industrial, primitivist culture which properly values language and tradition while rejecting Jacobin innovations. Sort of Wendell Berry cum Richard Weaver through Russell Kirk by way of Edmund Burke.
So, yes, sort of like socialism! Or so I can imagine the Rothbardians declaring with gusto.
What sort of participatory democracy charges entrants? This is an unconstitutional tax on public service, intended to exclude all but the plutocratic element from public office!

That's what I've been saying, Shadowpaw we need a free election. I can't afford to run it is so unfair.Zedekiah wrote: What sort of participatory democracy charges entrants?

Dudes, don't any of you know what sarcasm is?danadelfos wrote:I'm getting scared of if you ran the board. Zedekiah this isn't a communist organization. It's more of a board to have fun on. I know that there are certain forums where you do hove to run them with a high level of efficiency for example (debating forums) but this is a forum where we're layed back. We follow a set of rules but we aren't to heavy handed. You're supposed to have fun. (There are certain places where you can be more serious) I.E. The Town Hall. Second of all when you say you were removed from the ballot it was because of first you didn't give 30,000 ToO dollars to enter in the contest and second you didn't have another running partner. I wasn't picked for a mod either so just take it in stride. In other words roll with the punches.
