Don't worry about it. Other's involved have brought this out into the open board - so it's not like I care that much. I'm sure your questions are the same as many other mooters because all anyone sees is what certain people involved have decided to reveal in their posts on the open board (or through the use of a stupid title)

Suggestion: If the vote comes down to winning say, by four or fewer, we could have a run-off, where the party isn't allowed to vote or something like that.

Just as in RL ...

Well, the rules for the election should at least be clear before the election begins. It seems they are not.

And don't forget the quasi-offical self imposed standard bearer

Just the straggler on the side holding the big flag :P

I voted already before anybody answered because the question was only "Who loves Tolkien the most?" and not "Who are you voting for?" So I based my decision on all the other posts by the users running that I've read, because I don't think that can even be answered in a single post or single thread. I wound up voting for Finrod, even though I'm supporting Hector so far in the election. That poll was kind of irrelevant. Plus I think the final vote will be handled through the PM system, right? So those polls will be disregarded.

Ultimately, Artanis is right; someone's got to clarify these rules and tell me whether or not I just accidentally screwed Hector over.

good point bomb... i had the same thought considering the subject of the poll... i'd think most people here love tolkien equally... or close enough

Katt_knome_hobbit · 03-04-2004, 12:33 PM

Hello. I have just aggreed to run as vice president for Finrod and I have nothing else to say. I am not long winded like most politicians, (Katt can't spell) but luckily I have a brilliant campaign staff draped over my shoulders right now checking my spelling.

Vote for FINROD, as a representitive of the Tolkien Lovers Annonymous.

Finrod Felagund · 03-04-2004, 01:16 PM

Well, I'm not running just as a representative of TLA, but that is a part of who I am, thanks for agreeing Katt!

Is anyone going to answer my question?

**Nurvingiel** · 03-04-2004, 03:47 PM

Sorry Chrys, I missed it in all the new posts.

It's hard to improve something great like Entmoot, which has been finely honed to its current excellence over the years.

However, we at the Council of Entmoot will strive to keep it as the most excellent Tolkien message board on the web by:
- Continuing to strive for good will among Mooters, which is something each member has worked toward in their time here
- We had plans to bring in a cool new smilie, but that's something bmilder has to do. We'll work with him on this.
- Promoting Entmoot and Tolkien to potential members not yet joined.

So that is part of your electoral programm... Very interesting. Very original!

**Nurvingiel** · 03-04-2004, 08:36 PM

I know you were thinking the same thing FM, but we thought of the idea independently. Were you also thinking of an evil smilie?

Along the same lines, I was thinking of sprucing up the cool smilie to look more cool. There have been some complaints about that. I have some ideas.

Lady Ravyn · 03-04-2004, 09:33 PM

ooo! smilies! we need more of them! and, yes that cool one looks...odd... o.O maybe some animated ones?

Hey!

Can't we all just get along?

brownjenkins · 03-05-2004, 03:11 PM

all the social injustice going on in this world and you talk smilies!?!

i like it!

Lalaith_Elf · 03-05-2004, 03:17 PM

Okay pretty lame question coming up:

What's all the candidates view on spam/flaming etc.?

**Nurvingiel** · 03-05-2004, 07:13 PM

I think, as I'm sure most people do, that flaming should be stamped out! It is unnecessary and mean-spirited. All arguments should be resolved by PM, and people should try to remember that resolution happens more easily if people try to be kind, and avoid personal attacks.

As for spam, it is less harmful than flaming. However, it is annoying and pointless. That being said, there are some threads where the occasional bit of spam is appropriate (and is therefore arguably not spam).

Cheers, Nurv

Lady Ravyn · 03-05-2004, 08:53 PM

i agree, nurv. to me, there are several different kinds of spam, and some are REALLY irritatinf, while others are only mildly annoying. it would be cool if someone could see the difference between them (not to say our mods don't usually see it... the difference i mean; between kinds of spam...oh never mind...*tries to get foot out of mouth...

)
