New Election? - VGF

Metal Man · 07-08-2007, 01:59 AM

Churro has had his time in office, and from the stagnant inactivity, it has become obvious that instead of running NC, he has been drinking Kool-Aid!

Clearly, this means it is about time for another election, so that we can elect somebody who can actually bring NC out of stagnation.

Is Bill good enough that he deserves another 8 years? What about Fred? I dunno.

Who'd be up for another NC presidential election? (Besides me, that is beyond the point.

)

**Crazyswordsman** · 07-08-2007, 10:41 AM

I am. I know Jay's busy. I'm thinking about running the election, and I know who my candidate is for president already. We'll see how many people want to do this and decide whether or not we want to do just the Neglectocrats and Subconians or also throw the Radical Extremists or Retro Activists in as well.

I think we should have a minimum three month tenure at VGF for everyone who wants to run as of January 2008 (ie only people who joined by October 31, 2007 will be able to participate, so if you're a member now you can run), because I want to get this up and running ASAP.

Let's get a show of posts on who wants to do this. -CSM

X-3 · 07-08-2007, 12:32 PM

Sounds like a cool idea. I'd probably nominate someone, like I did with Geno a long time ago.

Jay is probably too busy to do this, but I can still see this happening, if people help out.

Oh, and I do want to be the manager of someone. Who that will be will be decided later.

Metal Man · 07-08-2007, 01:20 PM

I can help with anything that involves SMBHQ, and I have relatively decent access to Jay, so I'll ask him what he thinks and what I can do to help this; if he can't update NC to do it, maybe I can.

**Crazyswordsman** · 07-08-2007, 01:35 PM

Jay didn't even organize it last time. Romplayer did. I think it would work if we all chipped in a bit.

If we get at least ten people to do this, it'll work if we all chip in and run it ourselves. Right now we have three. We need to get as many as we can. I don't think Jay would mind. -CSM

YOU ARE MY FRIENDS · 07-08-2007, 01:44 PM

I'd do whatever I can to help out.

**Perrin Aybara** · 07-08-2007, 01:56 PM

Sure, I'd have no problem with you all working on NC Election 2008. Sounds like a good idea. The elections are always fun.

And hey, while Romplayer did a lot of work for the 2004 election, I did a lot of work for it as well, if I remember correctly.

But yeah, just let me know what you all want to do. Help is always appreciated.-jay

**Crazyswordsman** · 07-08-2007, 02:32 PM

So we got four in, five if Jay wants to do it. -CSM

**Perrin Aybara** · 07-09-2007, 12:29 AM

I'd be glad to do what I can, just let me know. At the very least, I can help organize it on the site and maybe run one of the character's campaigns. (Probably Churro's re-election, I guess.)-jay

MC Mushi Mo · 07-09-2007, 01:39 AM

Alriiiiiiight! I've wanted to participate in something like this! So... all of you plus me makes ten...uhhh... I think.

...Six.

jigglypuffer · 07-09-2007, 04:49 AM

Koopa 3-3 is definitely up for another go.

He says he only lost last time because his campaign manager was a lazy bum. The CM, jigglypuffer, has no statement to this.

**Crazyswordsman** · 07-09-2007, 07:25 AM

Okay, so we need at least three more to make this a go (remember as many people as they want can do this).

I can tell you right now I am going to doPrince Lemmy Koopa's campaign. -CSM

**L007 is Undecided** · 07-09-2007, 06:06 PM

Yo. I helped with the last one, I can help again.

**Crazyswordsman** · 07-09-2007, 09:01 PM

So let's see...

So far we have:

-MM
-Me (as Lemmy Koopa)
-Panfan
-X-3
-Jay (as Churro)
-MC
-Jigglypuffer (as Koopa 3-3)
-L007

The Neglectocrats are definitely going to be on the ballot. Hopefully we'll get enough SMB2 characters to have a Subconian party. If we get enough support, we'll open up the Radical Extremists and/or Retro Activists.

I'm going to recommend grabbing Bill ASAP, because he has the easiest campaign (he doesn't have to go through a primary round).
We still need lots more! -CSM

**Perrin Aybara** · 07-09-2007, 11:45 PM

I'm tempted to do Bill as well, due to his special nature.

And the more people we get for this, the better, so I don't think there's any need to rush to get people to join. Give it some time and promotion. I'll see if i can update the SMBHQ and NC main pages with some information once we agree on how we want to run it.-jay

ChuckleHuck · 07-09-2007, 11:54 PM

Sounds thrilling and fat free.

Metal Man · 07-10-2007, 12:24 AM

I will run as myself.

This should make up for all those times Jay talked about the next NC/SSS2, and having Metal Man in it, and then there was no NC/SSS 2 update. (Yes, feel free to ask him if you don't believe me.)

Of course, I'll be able to make campaign posters and everything. If nothing else, I can mimic Jay's style--and I have a better sprite now. (Too bad he only has two frames... oh well.)

As for political party, uhh... I dunno. Throw him in almost anywhere, although he has similar wants and ideas to what Bill used to do. Of course, I can pick another character if that's no good.

DarthButcher · 07-10-2007, 02:44 AM

I have come out of VGF retirement for this thread(as well as other things). I will take on the role of Dr. Donez's campaign manager(I believe I did last time, too), if I am allowed to.

**Crazyswordsman** · 07-10-2007, 07:22 AM

^Well why wouldn't you be allowed to? -CSM

**Sean P Kelly** · 07-12-2007, 07:05 PM

Don't forget about Dr. Crackle
