Apolyton 08

[rah]

We've wasted way to many threads already on the presidency of a nation at the end of it's dominance. It could be replaced as the premier nation at any time and we should be ready for any eventuality. SO I PROPOSE APOLYTON 08. An election to end all elections. Please select a running mate and prepare election materials like banners, slogans, and speeches. After a long campaign of about a month (since our attention span is considerably shorter than the average American) and Hold an election. I'll have to think up something appropriate for the winner. Coming up with a voting methodology without an electronic component will be difficult but we'll do what we must.

RULES. It's politics, so there are no stinking rules.

Asher has asked for the privilege of kicking it off.

[Asher]

I had no idea this would happen! This sudden election has left me scrambling.

Luckily I have discovered some banners.

Vote Asher/Wiglaf.

Can we bribe people with pie

Vote for me and I promise to destroy democracy and replace it with a far superior system in which the things I want (which, I assure you, are the things you want as well) are my top priority.

My VP will be Fez, because he never liked democracy anyway and because he's not here to refuse the offer.

I will not make a banner because I have no artistic talent and I believe that requiring banners for this competition amounts to anti-semitism.

[rah]

While banners aren't required, I'm sure you'll be discriminated against for you lack of artistic talent.

I'm going to ask, publicly, for Zkribbler to join my ticket. He will be the VP, because I have more experience on Poly .

[rah]

I was going to ask Ming, but I wanted to actually have a chance to win.
No really, I will ask him to join the TWIN party as my vp, (since I'm the oldest and by definition more experienced)
Of course I'm sure he'll have his own opinion on that one.

While that may be so, I will not be discriminated against for poor spelling. Which is what was written here the whole time.

Exactly why is this one topped?

Because I said so. And since this is a political thread, abuse of power should be expected.

And spelling nazi's will be banned

You saucy clown. Get back on the bottom.

This thread should also be renamed Apolyton Circle Jerk '08 and the winner gets full control of Polycast and DanQ's posting account.
