Return of the Major!
 
Yes, that's right, it's back! Next saturday, a new election will be held for the Mayor of Main Island!

Here are the rules:

you have to be member of a kingdom
- your job will be to help new players and guide those who need it to proper roleplaying, whenever possible
- you will have to conduct a roleplaying-event, which will be supervised by the EMs
- if you are elected, you're the mayor of Main Island for 2 weeks, holding the rp-event will make that 4 weeks to the next election

To apply, all you have to do is send a forum PM to me and an email to Bjoern at "[email protected]" with your roleplaying name, the kingdom you're in, and a short speech about why you think you should be mayor and what you'd do to improve the server! Also, as an optional thing, you can include a small list of things you've done in the past with your kingdom and things you've done to help your kingdom. We will select three candidates on saturday morning (GMT/europe time), so friday is your deadline.

Exactly, my friend that hopefully despises the minimum character requirement as much as I do.

Damix2 07-18-2004 10:40 PM

I had some persenol issues

Is it going to be the same as last time?

Your mayor for one week unless you hold an event, then your mayor for two weeks?

Splke 07-19-2004 04:26 AM

typo on the title..?

o.O

GoZelda 07-19-2004 09:22 AM

It's supposed to be a joke, LegoBomb said it was on purpose...

Oh.. didn't take the time to read everything.

GoZelda 07-19-2004 11:07 AM

He said it personally to me, not in the post.

Well, here's the deal...

During your mandatory 2 weeks of mayorship (whoo, made up word ^^) you are obligated to hold an RP event. If the players like that RP event, aka it doesn't suck, then you will be granted an automatic 2 weeks more of being a mayor. You can decline the offer of course, and a new election will be held after the mandatory 2 weeks is over.

GoZelda 07-19-2004 03:52 PM

What prize(s) will be available to give out on this event?

Monkeyboy_McGee 07-19-2004 04:08 PM

That'll be decided once the event's planned.

BloodReaper4387 07-19-2004 09:46 PM

Ill sign up for being mayor :O
btw this is Miz on my VIP acct cause i forgot the password to tombstone04

GoZelda 07-19-2004 09:57 PM

I do hope so sincerely being able to type English well is a requirement for passing...

Nappa 07-19-2004 10:04 PM

I hope not as that goes against my rp here.

Name: Gurrik Thurr
Kingdom: Forest
Short speech:

ARG. I AM GURRIK. ME BE ORC WHO SIDE WITH ELVES. IF ME BE ELECTED MAYOR, ME PROMISE TO BE GREAT RULER. PEOPLE BE HAPPY. PEOPLE HAVE FUN. I HELP OTHERS. WE DESTROY ENEMIES WITH IRON FIST. SO FOLLOW ME TODAY OR I DESTROY YOU.

Orcness for mayor.

GoZelda 07-19-2004 10:08 PM

If I wouldn't partake, I'd choose you ^^

Brad 07-21-2004 05:18 PM

Name: Banthar Gorikol

Kingdom: Kurenai Joukai

Speech: I myself am an orc as well. Although I am running against a longtime friend in Gurrik, I hope that you make the right choice to vote either him or myself. His views on elves vary from mine however. I feel a human/orc alliance is all that is needed in the free world of main island. Allowing the pathetic elves to roam freely is a disgrace and should be stopped. And for god's sake, do not get me started with the Zormite. If you elect me as mayor, you will see an orc with not only power, but intelligence. Thank you and please make the right choice on election day. Vote Banthar.

The former Mayor supports Banthar, so if you voted for Damix Sano, you should vote for Banthar =D

Yes, yes, vote for the one that didn't even read the instructions as to how to apply properly! ^^

excuse me while i send an email thank you mam.

Nappa 07-21-2004 07:41 PM

If I lose I won't care as long as an orc gets into power!

Dehitay 07-21-2004 10:57 PM

I hope one of the Kindred takes power
then the bloodsucking ......proper management can begin
Dehitay must apply as well

Monkeyboy_McGee 07-25-2004 12:05 AM

Hmm, well, due to technical difficulties created by two of the successful candidates not making an appearance (XD) we're going to postpone the elections until tomorrow.

Nappa 07-26-2004 01:28 AM

I'd like to know why I wasn't one of the three candidates for mayor, I had many many people tell me they would vote for me and loved how I RPed as an orc.

Is it because of a personal dispute between me and you showing how idiotic you are a few days ago ?

A) No such thing was shown.

B) Bjorn and i chose 3 of the 6 candidates, judging mainly on your applications.

Edit: You didn't get chosen, so what. Don't be a sore loser.

Nappa 07-26-2004 01:42 AM

When 30-40 people who have seen my rp story tell me that I deserve to win and their needs to be a change, then their happens to be a problem.

As for how dumb you are, their are quite a few threads where other people show it as well.

GoZelda 07-26-2004 12:34 PM

You haven't read the other persons speeches and not stories. Perhaps yours was bad compared to those. And, taken in consideration that you can't even furfill to the requirements, I do not see a competent mayor in you.

Bingo.
We made managerial decisions (as is the way the world works) on who the best candidates would be, judging mostly on their story and a small about what we know about them ingame.

Just automatically assuming that a story you obviously put little effort into at all, and having a go at me over PMs about emails, will get you into the elections is bigheaded and *****ic. You've done nothing to deserve to be in the elections, and your behavior isn't exactly mayoral either. I don't see brad or taikun sitting here whining because they didn't get in, and i sure as hell wouldn't see spike, gozelda or dehitay whining if they hadn't gotten in.

You're just using this as another excuse to try and demean me, as you do WHENEVER I TRY TO DO ANYTHING. If ZH had done this event, you wouldn't have any problems. Bjorn had as much if not more decision in this as me, but i don't see you ragging on him, do i? No. I suggest you back the hell off, realise that there was absolutely nothing wrong with what i've done, and grow up. This constant attack is just pathetic.

Brad 07-26-2004 09:55 PM

I didn't know we needed an in depth story. I tried to make myself seem like an angry orc who hates elves. Oh well, better luck next time eh.


VOTE GOZELDA K.

GoZelda 07-26-2004 10:30 PM

Well, Spike won with 76 votes against 48 from me and 18 to Dehitay. I'm not gonna say something mean about him because it won't help a damn.

Nah you didn't need an indepth story as such....just a good, convincing one o_o

Anyway, yes, Spike Loxeus won, congratulations to him. Better luck next time, lads.

Nappa 07-26-2004 11:17 PM

Well, I had someone on the inside talk to Bjorn.

Seems he had no choice in who was in the mayor elections, he just told you "who he liked" Which he told my inside person was me the most. Righto.

Someone on the inside being your buddy lance? Mmhmm, whatever, i'm not bothered.
As far as i was aware, bjoern shared the decision and if he'd disagreed with me i would have come to a compromise with him. Nobody told me otherwise, noone said it was purely my decision. The very way that I had organised and planned it, bjoern was to have a say in the candidates also to avoid this very scenario. Why the hell else do you think i asked you to send him a copy of your application too? To spam his mailbox?

I really don't care anymore, since it's all over now. You can go on being bitter and spiteful, and spam me with accusations of bias, but it makes no difference. You people don't seem to like nice things being done on the server, so i'm not going to hold another election. Bjoern or ZH can if they want, but if this is the kind of crap i get then I'm not going to.

On another note, congratulations again, spike. Im looking forward to seeing your RP event :)

Nappa 07-27-2004 01:34 AM

Yep. If you will stop holding events, then my job is done and I can go back and crawl under my rock again.

Monkeyboy_McGee 07-27-2004 01:51 AM

Oh no, why the hell should i quit my job? I enjoy holding events, and the rest of the populace enjoys me holding them too. I just said that i'm not going to hold another election because its not worth wasting that time on childish people such as yourself.

Nappa 07-27-2004 04:01 AM

You might as well quit doing those too since I'm always gonna be here.
