Forum Elections: The Cellars

[Hickory]

Miss Banya, when will the poll be taken down? Are you waiting for a certain amount of votes?

[Izeroth]

How would you feel if you lost, and the ideas you wanted went south?

I'd go South and look for them, obviously. After a brief period of anger and humiliation, I would return to my work with heightened resolve.

Miss Banya, when will the poll be taken down? Are you waiting for a certain amount of votes?

It will be taken down Thursday, Mr. Tip.

[Hickory]

Thank you. That's tomorrow for me.

How would you feel if you lost, and the ideas you wanted went south?

Um... it wouldn't effect me at all.

You guys realise this will change nothing right? The VP discussion is pointless as there will not actually be any power exherted. If this turns out to be not the case I'm leaving the Cellars, I don't want someone to impose their will on it.

Of course we do. I am simply practicing my political philosophy.

Regardless, any power he nominally had would be unenforceable. Only mods have any real power- to edit, gag, ban, etc.

How would you feel if you lost, and the ideas you wanted went south?

Like anyone, I would be disappointed if I didn't win. However, that wouldn't stop me from still endeavoring to support the Cellars, even in an unofficial capacity.

[Hickory]

Did you answer my previous question?

[Søren]

I'm afraid I missed it, what was it?
EDIT: I found it, will answer soon.

While we wait foor Mr. Binturog's answer, here's one for Mr. Soren: Will the Sørenian Star mepire play a role in your military command?

A good president can resolve differences without the need for a large military force. Keenly choose words at the right time can end a fight without unnecessary bloodshed. In either condition, the Sørenian Star Empire is lightyears away from here. They have little influence on the political or military state of the Cellars.

The candidates' answers:

Nondescript.

We now look forward to rebuttals by the candidates.

After the rebuttals, we have one more question from a citizen before the Presidential Election.  Questions from the media may and are encouraged to continue, but official debate questions are now closed.
*bangs gavel*

Poll results:
Yes; the President should not have all the power.  Checks and balances!         -9 (69.2%)
No; this would take too much power from the President.  He already has a council.         -4 (30.8%)
Total Voters: 13

The people have voted.  There will be a Vice President of the Cellars.  The poll will now be changed, and the citizens of the Cellars have Friday in its entirety to vote on the process of determining a Vice President.  When this poll closes, the Election will begin.
*bangs gavel*

[Søren]

Excuse me Ms. Banya, I was under the impression that the rebuttals were deemed unnecessary?

[Izeroth]

 I don't really see how you could provide a rebuttal to such a straightforward question.

[The Skarzs]

Agreed. All our answers were rather similar.

[Russa Nodrey]

*Timidly raises hand* I know it's kind of late, but....I'd like to run.

[The Skarzs]

Sorry, no more candidates.

[Russa Nodrey]

Oh, okay.
