Norc for presidency

Can I just go back to the guillotine for a minute and say just how fucking creepy this painting is? That guy in the middle is just like holding that head with the expression, "Hey honey, looked what I picked up at the grocery store." And the guy on the end is like, "lol, hang on dude, just gonna kill this guy real quick."

I'm sure at the time it seemed anything but creepy.

The fact that well-dressed gentlemen could efficiently decapitate people into neat little baskets must have seemed the height of modern technology in its day, like a sales brochure for a new kitchen appliance.  

That's probably exactly why it's so creepy now...

no The Terror wasnt creepy at all   

Norc has my vote, though as everyone has said, I'm not entirely sure if we need another mod.

The only elected office in Forumshire is that of Mayor and, like in the original Shire, it's not an office that brings much (read: any) responsibility with it. However, since we have a picnic coming up, I think there's a good chance that we'll have another Mayoral election soon. It's been a long time since the last one.

I'm the only person that voted no!

I am intrigued by this.

Mayor Bungo, ey?

Not yet another Forumshiran trying to overturn the Benevolent Rule of the Beautiful Four, I hope?   

Well, I certainly intend to run. I have no desire, of course, to have power over others. You'll hear from my campaign manager shortly.  Vote 1 for Honest Odo.  

Odo Banks is our man (hobbit),
If he can't do it no one can (not even Robert).

Don't vote for folk with names like Bungo -
If he's elected where will the fun go?  

And people like that ghastly Norc -
We'll end up a pack of dorks.

Vote for Odo - he's an honest man (hobbit)
He will Purify this whole land (boggit).

Wisey Banks as channelled up from the wellspring of Utter Respectabilty

Uncle Odo is my hobbit of choice. I think he understands the female  sentioment. (Better than we do, he told me). Hooray! He's got my vote.   {({That's if those horrible Moderators let all his Clan vote... Horrible tyranny we live under at the mo! )))

Well, Odo certainly is experinced, knowledgeable, fair minded, good.... and, above all, Respectable - and he has never bribed me - not once...   {{{Though Mirabella has obvious attributes too. If she was to run, I guess I could find myself voting for her. I mean, I am open to powerful women like her being over me..   }}}

Budd noo Harvees or Deevidz Hateches!!!

U don't like me

I didn't fully read the post before I clicked it!

{{{I probably would have hit no after reading the post too, but thank goodness for these encryption brackets}}}

But I thought that this was about electing Norc to a new Mod position? I agree then with whoever said that she might replace all our avatars with Cumberbums one chilly Northern night out of boredom.
I mean, if the vote is just about who should be president, then I'll change my vote.
Of course everyone here likes you Norc. We can all swear by proxy through you; it's very cathartic.

but .... but..

I edited that post after reading the first page.

haha, well, a little genius thing there, since the poll just says "do we like norc"

"Do we like Norc... for new president/moderator?"
You have to read between the lines Norc, one day you'll master the ability.

Hmmm, maybe.  

{{{Although, that post was mostly expressing general interest in the prospect of an election.}}}

Mayors are alright I guess.
But something like Tar-Bungo would be cooler!

Wait, don't we already have a tyrant?
