Make your pick! | next poll >> |
For anyone who has no clue what this is about.
Icicle's been here longer than almost everyone here, and she was one of the very first few fans to get the die-hard medal. Plus, her coments always make me laugh.
@Metallica: Thanks, that means alot to me! Now I feel kinda bad I didn't vote for you, though. D:
SJF_Penguin2 - 13 votes
Metallica1147 - 12 votes
Icicle1Penguin - 7 votes
Penguinangel - 5 votes
LifelessPenguin - 2 votes
xDark_Angelx - 1 vote
And remember candidates, you are not allowed to vote for yourself, and you need to comment at least once by the end of the election so we have proof you didn't. If you have, please change your vote to someone else. Thank you. :)
The current tie is an interesting scenario. I recall a tie several days ago as well when the total votes were in the low 30s. If there's still a tie on May 1, would the House of Representatives have to decide the winner (Amendment XII)?
In the meantime, I would like to make a proposition. Last year, the election was held in August; now were holding one in April. To avoid confusion for future cycles, I move that all future elections will only be held in April. Further, presidential terms should have a fixed starting and ending date: May 1 of one year to May 1 of the next.
I think that if there's a tie, maybe we can just put up a second fanpick with just the top 2 or 3 candidates, and we can just keep it up for a week or two instead of an entire month.
Holding the election once a year sounds good to me. And I'm glad you brought the speeches up. I'd like to do them again this year, too. Maybe this time I'll actually be able to think of something. XD
Enny,minie,miney.moe,catch the diamond by the toe,if he hollers let him go,my mom said to be the best one and the.Best.one.is.you.
@hanz: Nope! We still have 11 days until the polls close up.
EDIT: Uh, scratch that. 9 days.
I made up my own version of eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
Eeny, meeny, miny moe,
Capture Private by the toe.
If he hollers give him food,
Fifty peanut butter winkies every day.
and strangely enough, the vote landed on AgentJazzy00
@hanz1192: I understand that opportunity should be given to others. If I win again, I wouldn't be against limiting myself to just the two terms. I have no intent to become another FDR (elected to four terms, but died just months into the fourth).
EDIT: Oh, fail. XD Didn't see your comment yet.
Regardless of whoever wins this, I think that the closeness of the election supports this spot also having a vice president, as was briefly discussed in the "Re-Election!" forum. The community is large enough for a vice presidency to be worthwhile, and awarding the post to the runner-up in the election seems both fair and rewarding.
@SJF-I know this sounds weird, but can I ask why you voted for me? I mean, I think it's great you did, but...I don't know, I'm just curious, because unless you chose randomly, you must have a reason.
In your speech, you say that you decided to run because you "don't just want to be a random face on this spot, or just some nobody." With my vote and your Dedicated Fan medal, I can assure you that you are a valued contributor here.
One day left; I'm so excited to see who wins!
For many days now, there has been a consistently small margin among this election's top two contenders, a margin that seems to remain steady even while the total number of voters increases in number. In addition, I have been provided evidence which seems to substantiate this claim.
It is important to stress a principle of "one person, one vote." This is not the same as "one account, one vote." If you have possession of more than one account, it is important to hold yourself to an honor system and not use that account to vote again for your favorite candidate, whether that candidate be me or anyone else. If I am to win or to lose it should only be because of legitimacy.
Unfortunately, regardless of whoever is on top at the close of this poll, I feel that this pick has been tainted too much to be redeemed. Even if I am the winner by it, I would feel awkward knowing some people voted for me more than once. Therefore, as much as I really hate to do it, I propose that a new pick be created in its place to run throughout the month of May. In addition, all voters on such a new pick should be required to post a comment so that all can publicly see that there is no indication of multiple account usage.
Thank you, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
However, if someone is doing it (yet I have no idea if anyone is doing it, but this is just in case someone is), then...just don't do it. Like I said, it's unfair to everyone, and it really isn't going to help anyone, even the person you voted for.
lol, I felt bad that I didn't vote for Metallica, but it looks like he's probably going to win anyway... XD
Or we could just call SJF and Metallica co-presidents, or Brandon president and SJF vice president, so they both get recognition even ifthe voting was a little off.
While I do not oppose the concept of having a president and a vice president, the only way to get an honest determination of who won the top spot is a do-over. If we were to have another election, I wouldn't be surprised if there were 10 or 20 fewer votes in it because we wouldn't be allowing multiple accounts. If the club wishes to only have a week-long election between me and Metallica1147 instead of a complete do-over, that's not for me to decide. But knowing who is voting for who through comments, and only counting the votes of people who have commented, is the only way to eliminate the problems that spoiled the past election.
Trust me, I am not pushing for a do-over because I may have lost. I am pushing for one because the system was flawed and allowed deception. Honesty is all I care about.
I appreciate the suggestion, however.
I really wish this election wasn't riddled with problems. Where's jungle lawyer Maurice when you need him?
