ELECTION: Director of Social Engineering

[DeathByTheSword]

Options are:

Archaic
ABSTAIN
Write-in

this is the place where to ask questions:
debate

[Kassiopeia]

What will happen if Mr. ABSTAIN wins?

[DeathByTheSword]

he cant win sorry

[Pandemoniak]

We should then re-poll it with at least one more candidate. Actually, we shoudl do that in any case where Archaic doesnt make 50%+ votes.

mr abstain is winning now
i think it's unlikely, but in the case that abstain wins in any election, it must be taken as a vote of no-confidence in the candidate, and a replacement found, who then faces a repoll.

[Pandemoniak]

I agree with Darkness Edge. According to poll results, even a banana wouldnt trust Archaic as a political leader.

[Kassiopeia]

*monitoring the situation with great interest*

Many many hours to go, however.

[Archaic]

I think people are voting against me less on no confidence and more on the fact that I had the audacity to vote against Unskilled Labourer Pan with a Write-in. I wish they'd get over it already, stop thinking with only your emotions and factor in a little logic. Even if they don't like me, they should at least see that I can do the job, and damn well. And it seems I'm the only person who's willing to stand up and be counted to boot.

Or perhaps they're voting against me because of the pathetic strawman of Free Market being "wage-slavery"?

[Diablero]

I think I'm gonna wait till later on this vote....

no one else wants to run?

[Kassiopeia]

no one else wants to run?

With the situation looking the way it is, I've decided to run in case Archaic does get less then 50 percent of the votes.
But please, keep voting Abstain instead of Write-in in this poll, if you wish to opine against Archaic (to avoid fragmentation of votes).

Edit - note that I won't be able to be even half as active as I've been so far. I can visit the forums and check the save maybe twice a week, and turnchats are out of the question. The DoSE post doesn't have too much activity as it is, at the moment, so that prolly won't be a big problem.

C'mon - the guy stepped up to the plate - voting abstain is ridiculous.

And as for abstentions forcing a revote - no way. If people don't like archaic they should have fielded a candidate or wrote one in. Since they did neither I have no sympathy - if you sit on your hands during a vote you get the leader you deserve. (no offence meant, archaic)

[Darkness' Edge]

Abstain in election polls is, and always has been in our DGs, a vote of no-confidence in the candidate(s).

If a vote of no-confidence is passed (and at this point, it's looking quite possible), then a revote must be held, as it appears, with possibly Kassiopeia and Diablero.

[Nubclear]

I, of course, abstain in this election. For more reasons than one...

[Diablero]

Well thank you for mentioning me DE, I had already thought of nominating myself, but we also need an Alpha Talent, a position for which I have offered my services.

What's the deal with rejecting a sole candidate? Is this some kind of CCCP fallout or what?
