This is the run-off election between Marine and celtic. Voting ends in 24 hours.

Choices:

CelticNewAger

 

Ah.

Yeah, FML what's the deal. You started ths whole election thing. What powers does the YN president have? It seems that when your boy Marine loses the election, you back out.

I'm (apparently) your President. Now, I already whined on the Feedback thread of more control over our threads.

"All noisemakers forget that there was even a vote and a run-off"

Nuh uh! I kept saying that and that it was stupid...

"NMers decide that they want to vote for senators"

Either that or the CIA of YN... That'd be cool... I'd love to be either... or both.

YN exit polling, circa 2000.

9pm: Marine currently has a 1 vote lead
9:05pm: Celtic has now taken the lead.
9:05:23pm: Celtic will win florida.
9:05:26pm: Marine will win florida.
9:06:-01pm: Celtic wins ohio.
9:07pm: Ohiosweetgirl wins ohio.
9:10pm: Marine could win florida
10:00pm: FML takes the lead in florida voting
10:20pm: This race is too close to call
10:20:02: Celtic has won florida by 3 votes
11:00: All appeals are heard by the YN court
11:30: The vote is a fraud
11:30:02pm: All noisemakers forget that there was even a vote and a run-off
11:34: NMers decide that they want to vote for senators
11:35: A thread saying that the election should not be held is created.
11:36: All NMers turn their attention to the reopened wedding chapel

Oh, and according to the other poll's time constraints of a so-called 24 hour period, voting ends in 43 minutes from now. So there. Beat that. Wait, you can't. Celtic is our "president". Marine is nothing.

True. College boys should hold, at minimum a 56WPM while girls are expected to do 61WPM. It's not me, it's what my teacher said.

35+wpm? That's weak Aguagon, you should have pushed for at least 60, they are in college.

Okay then. Are you boys on AIM? If not, please get screenames. Then, please pick any time in the next week that you can all be on at once. And I'll expect each of you to be keeping up a simultaneous 35+ WPM typing speed.

I just kind of stumbled on this thread... you guys better hurry up and figure this out b/c the fate of these boards is at stake without leadership... or is it? What the heck would a president of a cyber chat board do anyway?
If we are having some sort of government I volunteer to be an insurgent!

Why must we have a president anyway? Why can we not try out a differnt style of government. For example, in an enclosed enviroment, with realtivly few duties why can we not have a Primeminister, or even a King or Queen? Why not a chancellor, or even have some sort of council?

We could still vote for them if this is simply some kind of voting bananza.

But it's OK, Marine will at least be YN Vice President which is the title of the yner who finishes second in voting; much like our nations early system functioned.

Notice he only said this AFTER he concedes for Marine.

You cannot change what has been done. There was no proper voting regulation, not to mention there were infinite problems with how you received the results FML. Why is it so important to you that this take place in the first place? Why must it occur? Why must Marine have a position from YN?

Oh, and by the way, a President always chooses his/her Vice President. It isn't up to voters-it's up to the President. So who's it gonna be, Celtic?

Ok everybody, calm down! From this start I never understood the point of this election and still don't, but that's not the point here. Why do you care if there was fraud, if there was any? What is the difference if ________ won or _________ won? I think that it is pretty sad that you are wasting your time conducting an election that you know will make people upset one way or another. I rather be posting about the aids crisis or social security than being a traffic cop calming this election down. I am not against anyone (FML) for creating this election, I just don't think we should take it this seriusly.

FML, it is just curious that until 9:00 Marine had only one vote and suddenly right before the "polls" closed he ended up with eight.

FML, you cannot make these things up, we decided the first time that the president picked their VP. It's not like we're going to listen to you anyways.

And you answered your own question. You knew there was no way to make marine win president so you did this so he'd atleast have VP. You lose.

I'm wondering how Marine tied with Celtic. Perhaps because FML (the one who decides if there was cheating) is friends with Marine and used Aliasas to make sure Marine did well.

If that were so, wouldn't I have made him win? If I was trying to rig it in his favor, a run-off would not have been adventagous. Everyone who was going to vote for marine already did and you crazies who voted for bluedem will now likely vote for celtic.
But it's OK, Marine will at least be YN Vice President which is the title of the yner who finishes second in voting; much like our nations early system functioned.
