Re: Mayoralty 2014: nominations

As mayor I promise to ONLY make promises I cannot keep. That way you lot never need worry about what I say. Seems the safest way to run a high office, methinks. Nod

Sure, you say that now, but will you be able to KEEP that promise? scratch

ELE remember?! Very Happy

Dear little RA, the quiet voice of reason Very Happy

And thankyou Dave for the warm welcome, I enjoy a good 'fraying' Very Happy

If RA uses ELE as his campaign motto, then he's earned a nomination from me. Nod

by bungobaggins Mon Jul 21, 2014 5:33 pm

I'd vote for RA. ELE! Very Happy

So we have Mayoral candidates backing other mayoral candidates now?!!

by **Orwell** Mon Jul 21, 2014 11:40 pm

Queer folks, Petty, these New Forumshirans from Queer places such as Bree and Torn etcetera.... Nod

What I think we need is a good wholesome genuine Native as Mayor... Mmm... let me think... That pretty much only leaves Mirabella...

Very true Orwell, very true. After a while one slips into the dangerous situation of forgetting they are foreigners!

if Shirelanders had kids with Breelanders would the offspring be called Breeders?

Ha! I'm a native. Don't think I ever posted on any other Tolkien sites before joining the original Forumshire.

Vote Halfwise. He doesn't know any better either.

I'm sure many here will find your logic persuasive, Halfy, but really, I think it's about time we had another Woman's voice here. I mean, Women get sick of male voices here yabba yabba yabba blah blah blah all the time. We need some Sense about the pace. Of course, I plan to keep all the male folk satisfied. Simple creatures. Easily pleased - and I'm certainly the type to please, surely. flower

Vote 1 Mirabella. THE VOICE OF TREES AND REASON

Somehow we seem to have come full circle to the argument that began this whole exercise. Suspect

If RA throws his hat in the ring, I'll withdraw my campaign and offer my (and Stannis') full support to him. Shrugging

by Pettytyrant101 Tue Jul 22, 2014 6:07 pm

You cant back out! What about your supporters? Wavering, thats what it is! Mad

by Eldorion Tue Jul 22, 2014 6:14 pm

We need firm positions from our candidates! What about Forest? He even has a self-evident campaign motto: Stand Like a Tree. Nod

Or maybe Make Like a Tree ... and Get Out the Vote! {{{No?}}}

by Lancebloke Tue Jul 22, 2014 6:23 pm

I vote for Brewster!

by Mrs Figg Tue Jul 22, 2014 6:48 pm

the mayoral elections have come to Forumshire
not to be negative but the predictions are dire
There's Mirabella that plastic whiplash girl
Bungo's skill with election posters makes me hurl
RA wants love and peace, Halfy's not so sure
If it was up to me I would show you lot the door
Daves rude veggies are going to come up
In some papperazzi shots with a startled Geoduck
scandal rigging and shennanigans abound
a more motley crew of candidates is hard to be found
so come on Norc! you need to be bolder
we need a Mayoress before I get much older.

by Pettytyrant101 Tue Jul 22, 2014 7:56 pm

Figg nice one.

by Mirabella Tue Jul 22, 2014 10:23 pm

Some lovely rhyming Commonsense, Mrs Figg. Yes, plastic is durable and we want our Mayor to be durable (and Reasonable). Does this mean I can count on your vote? Very Happy

Speaking of Norc, has she forgotten about this election? I would have thought she'd be the most eager candidate. Mad
