Well Would You Vote For Me?

Post by **Catspaw** » Wed Jul 27, 2005 11:49 pm

I can't vote on that now, because I don't know who else would be running, and who you would be running with. It's too early to make such an important decision - I don't want to say I'll vote for you now, even if I do eventually decide that you're the best candidate.

I understand your honesty is appreciated.

No offense, but I'd have to say no. Nothing against you, but you have less than five hundred posts, and haven't really been around much. I'd rather vote for someone who is more of a mainstay here in the community.

Can I help it if I dont spam the boards. I m here all the time its just sometimes i dont feel like posting and sometimes i do. I really enjoy it here and I feel that I can bring much to the table. I m very caring.

Like I said, no offense intended. It's all just IMHO.

Many members here have more than 4000 posts- and I've never known them to be spammers. Personally, I would vote for someone I know well and can fully trust to manage the town well. Note- this is not to say that I'm not going to vote for you(or that I'm going to). It's just my opinion.

Oh i see. so its a popularity contest.

How is it a popularity contest?

Fenix · Post by **Fenix** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 12:32 am

becasue i dont know anyone here. i feel as though i would do a great job but no one is willing to give me a chance becase they want to choose someone they know and like.

Not at all, Fenix. If it was, there'd be no way two losers like Top and I could have won!

However, the key to winning the election will be to make a good case for yourself. Do you have any forum admining experience? What can you bring to the table? Let the people know, and see what happens! That's what we did.

Also, realize being the Mayor isn't a "game". It's being an administrator in charge of a forum, and it's VERY time consuming. Keep those things in mind when running, and you should do well.

It's a matter of trust. I wouldn't simply vote for someone because I know them- I would vote for them if I know that they'd do a good job as mayor.

And you still have plenty of time to get to know more people on this board.

EDIT: ...so that's why? I wondered why "That Guy with the Eugene Avatar" was becoming a popular phrase all of a sudden.

*As the new word censor on the word "me" causes confusion......*

Eugene Blackgaard · Post by **Eugene Blackgaard** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 12:35 am

More like clears things up! I've ridden the board of the confusing confusion brought on by Me!

YAY ME! I mean... YAY "ME"! $\:D/$

True, I never though of it like that. Heh heh heh

I would say no, I would not vote for you, for similiar reasons that "Me" gave.

Many apologies.

Cheerio

In all honesty, I think pretty much any election falls under being to some degree a "popularity contest" (except for like county coroner elections and stuff), but that is just the nature of the beast. I am pretty sure both parties got votes last election simply because of who they were, however, I think here that a good majority of people will consider their options and truly vote for who they think will do the best job. But yeah, "popularity" is one of the ingrediants involved in an election.

Hoe do you run for mayor?
