NC Election Primaries to start next week. - VGF

Jonathan Resop · 10-29-2004, 01:12 PM

Here's how we're going to do it. We're going to have one party's primary every week for the next four weeks. Each primary will only last for one week. Monday to Sunday. Then that primary closes and we vote for the next party. Understand? So I don't want anyone voting for anyone who isn't running in the current primary at the time. Or I'll beat you. The voting will all be done through e-mail. Not my normal e-mail, but an e-mail I will set up and will announce on the day the elections start, which will be Monday November 1st. Here is the order from which we will hold the primaries, chosen randomly:

1) Retro Activists (November 1st - November 7th)
2) Neglectocrats (November 8th - November 14th)
3) Radical Extremists (November 15th - November 21st)
4) Subconians (November 22nd - November 28th)

Ok? We all understand? There will be no voting here, and do not send any votes to my regular e-mail account. And only vote in the party which is currently having it's primary. That sound good? Good. If not, well, too bad. Or just complain here.-jay

I´m not ready for this... Koopa 3-3 hasn´t reached out yet.

Are we, the campaign managers, allowed to vote in the other parties?

Jonathan Resop · 10-29-2004, 03:11 PM

Every person is allowed to vote once in every primary.-jay

jigglypuffer · 10-29-2004, 03:20 PM

Even on your own candidate?

Romplayer · 10-29-2004, 05:24 PM

Whoa, so early?
Well, then I have to re-think about my plans.

Codiekitty · 10-29-2004, 05:44 PM

I forgot this. Are we having the debates in the forum? I don't know if I said my opinion on this, but I don't think AIM Chats would work too hot.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

Minion1888 · 10-29-2004, 06:38 PM

of course I vote Citrus Man I work for him for lords sakes remeber a vote for Citrus Man is a vote for NC

Beam Yosho the Drunkard · 10-29-2004, 06:42 PM

I'd probably be best to have Debates via forum, rather than AIM.

Of course, that's mainly for my own sake. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

**L007 is Undecided** · 10-29-2004, 06:56 PM

A vote for Fred is A VOTE TO SAVE YOUR PATHETIC LIVES. EVEN IF FRED WERE TO LOSE, IF YOU DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM, HE'LL BLOW YOUR HOUSE UP!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

...

I propose holding off on Debates until the Finals. Then start them up. Jay, CK, whichever, IM me and I'll try to figure something out.

Super N · 10-29-2004, 10:40 PM

You DO have the stuff you missed before on my election site, RIGHT?

Because you didn't have that stuff up before...
I even counted the posts to make sure I got exactly right.
If it is,ignore everything I just said.

Jonathan Resop · 10-29-2004, 11:10 PM

^You mean for the profile? Well, the one question about the game the character was in I answered for everyone. And I just didn't feel like going through with fixing it for just one sentence, heh.

Plus, you don't have to have a big attitude and all.

Lord Reid · 10-30-2004, 12:47 AM

Not to be picky, but what is keeping people from simply using more then one email address?

Jonathan Resop · 10-30-2004, 01:39 AM

Well, if you know of a better way to do the voting so there's no chance of people cheating, feel free to let me know, heh. I'm all ears.

What, are the primaries too soon? I'd though you'd all want to get this over with, heh. Well, we'll either start this week or the week after that.-jay

jigglypuffer · 10-30-2004, 08:08 AM

Like Dr.Donez, you didn´t answer my question.

No, I think it's okay.

Jonathan Resop · 10-30-2004, 10:38 AM

When I say "Every person can vote in every primary", I mean, "Every person can vote in every primary. Even in the primary that your candidate is in. And you can even vote for your own candidate, unless you don't want to. I don't see why not.-jay

Introbulus · 10-30-2004, 02:11 PM

I'd say "why not just use PMs", but that can pose the same problem. Xp

What about using one's VGF name to register their E-Mail vote? Using one's sign-in name instead of the PDN, since I think Jay can check that and others can't. Unless Mods aren't that powerful. Xp

Romplayer · 10-30-2004, 05:53 PM

What would that change?

Introbulus · 10-30-2004, 07:26 PM

That way, Jay could (supposedly) check if the e-mail being used actually belongs to a VGF member. So they couldn't cheat the vote.

Then again, it might not be workable. I'm just making a suggestion.

Romplayer · 10-31-2004, 07:48 AM

Yeah. But then we could also just make a poll here in the forums.
