Being the President...

hectorberlioz · 09-27-2005, 11:17 AM

I guess this should be an opinion poll...
What does everyone think of the job I'm doing as Pres?

I've really tried to do something "permanant" for the Moot, I started the biography thread, I rallied mooters for a Narnia forum (Ben hasnt said anything other than 'it is in discussion' Truly, here applies the famous ent motto "Don't be hasty"

), and in general I've tried to help mooters where needed.

Well, not to be too critical, but you did allow Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita to strike the Gulf Coast of the USA, and there was that tsunami ...! And Sadaam has been prevented from killing lots of Iraqui's...!

I'm just trying to judge you on the same basis as President Bush is judged by Americans!

....you're President, when did this happen, no one told me, I'm always the last to know, do we elect or are you 'divine'.

Who says?

SGH is the one who told me

Ane where have you been? You come back here just to give me bad news?

(And your link isn't working!)
Besides that, you haven't replied to any of my PMs...you don't hate me THAT much do you? After all the great avvies that I've fixed up/made for you?

I do need to mention that you're board is devoid of something...Classical

, maybe my help is needed

Well, I have not been a member all that long. I don't know you that well, but you must have done something right to start up a great group like this!

I revel in the innocent Mooter's innocent remarks

Actually Tree Dweller, the truth is that I really don't have any Power here at Entmoot, except the Power of the People, which, however fancy it sounds, is hard to get going

. I was elected, but except for my "position" (really just a title) I'm just a regular mooter like you

.
However, I actually AM trying to get something going here, like a Narnia forum (I believe you've voted for it? Right

), and Entmoot Biography Gallery, which was going well until all my biographers abandoned me to do all the work by myself.

Well, during your presidency you've gotten rid of your internet connection and managed to lose your computer password, so you haven't really been that active. (Are you still using library computers, Hector?

)

Nah, I guess you've been an OK president despite all that. As you mentioned you did try to open that Narnia forum (however I haven't read Narnia so I couldn't care less

) and you started the biography thread (which I haven't posted in or even looked at in ages

). Anyway I thought the president should only have representative power so if you just keep being nice to everyone and put a smile on your face, you'll be a good president

Hector...I think you're doing just fine. Its not as if you have any executive powers and so working with what you have...you've been working very well as a leader. And you've been around more lately...which is a good idea as president...
I can't say the same for you Vice-President and cabinet...I don't even remember who they were...

But you rock my world Hector...Even though you beat me.

Curubethion · 09-27-2005, 11:39 PM

So...when's the next election?

As far as I can tell(which isn't much

), you're doing good.

2008? :P

I was President of Entmoot 2000-2004.
