Decision 2008: Nominations

[MJB]

Randy will disavow all knowledge but it is a known fact (among über moderators) that a new ruler of the fiefdom/abattior must be elected.

Two thousand and eight is the year of the next election.

Your duty is to pick not more than 3 candidates to move on to the next election round. In the next round the chosen candidates will have an oppertunity to write up an election speech to sway you to his/her side.

Vote now for your next ruler. Comments are REQUIRED.

Ladies and gentlemen, I smell a conspiracy (or maybe I just forgot to put on deodorant...). A name is missing from the list of nominees- the name of the single most qualified candidate! Yes, I speak of none other than... Bandwagon Man!

Consider- who else among the possibilities would be sure to continue Randy's time-honored tradition of feeding forum-users to ravenous sharkmen- just because everyone else was doing it? Who else would rule the entire Forum with an iron fist- so long as a number of other posters were doing the same? Who else would share Randy's penchant for randomly destroying other posters in horrible ways- as long as the answer the the question is "everyone"?

Clearly, there can be only one true choice! The candidate for the people, of the people, and constantly copying the people.

Let's get on the Bandwagon!

* A well known spectral ambassador of the cosmos approaches the pulpit *

:eyebrow:  ^_^ { Well now, but I (for one) whole-heartedly welcome this move.  For too long has this corner of the boards (I hesitate to feed the ego of the megalomaniac currently in charge by bestowing it the ungraceful title of 'abattoir'; for well I remember when this was a Fiefdom) been subjected to the cruel and (I grant you) imaginative tyrrany of... of...

* Pauses a moment, to flex his jaw muscles and massage his chin.  A slightly perplexed look creases the brow of the Phantom as he starts to rummage under one of his armpits.  (The left one, if you're interested).  After a few moments furtive foraging, he produces a tetanus-poisoned finishing nail *

:eyebrow:  :huh: { Another one!?  Gads, but I thought I'd extracted the last of them.  That dastard will pay for this.

* A look of resolve now endignifies(?) the Phantom's fine face as he once more orates to the masses *

:eyebrow: { Yes my people, it is time for change!  There might be but scope for three votes to be cast in this pole but (if we're honest with outselves  ^_^) there's need for only... buh... GNAH!

* A shocked look creases his features now as the Phantom's jaw seizes suddenly.  In a seizure. *

:eyebrow: { No.... time for... NNNNNHH... lengthly... orations... NNNNNUHHH... Must... focus on...  NNNNNNNN

* Muscular spasms course through the Phantom's body.  The immobile Eyebrow collapses to the ground before any vote can be cast *
