Nevertheless, having dismissed your suitability for the position of Minister of Discussion…

Was this “dismissal” done internally, for additional motives, or is your whole basis the mere (and not indefensible) fact that Watson created one thread instead of seven?

Ah, good old saulgoode. Among the few that would make an earnest attempt to undermine a campaign whose platform was described by the candidate in words like “I will revel in bribery and flattery”.

I appreciate your recognition of my forthrightness. I also will not deny having a contempt for Watson’s light-mindedness in his approach to this election.

Are you really criticizing me because I dismiss a candidate running some farcical joke of a campaign which seems more intent on parading his acerbic talents and capricious wit than actually improving the operations of this site? Do I really need any “additional motives”?

Every other candidate in this election has put forth a sincere campaign and is trying to contribute to an open discussion of how the site can best be administered. Are they also to be criticized for their earnestness and ridiculed for being too serious?

At this point, there is not a single candidate running in this election whom I would not choose over Watson. Maybe you wish to elect your ministers based on the flippancy and whimsy of their campaigns, I happen to prefer candidates who have more to offer this community.

Well that makes sense.

You don’t agree with his ‘I just want the title’ approach, while utilizing the same approach yourself?

It seems to me like you both want exactly the same thing: The Ladon ratings system. You just slightly differ on how you think it should be implemented.

I don’t get you, ladon, one day you support just about every aspect of my platform, and the next day you don’t. There’s so much flippity-floppitin’.

See, that’s what so great about my campaign — you don’t need to be an official to get things done — I’ll take care of that part for you, and you can focus on doing your job — faster.

Minister of Sound
Not enough is going on in this important section. Legal wrangling and bureaucratic red tape are bunging up all hope of progress. Last I heard, Chosen1 had added 10 sounds to the library. There are some strong whisperings that he’s been licensing and selling the music on the side to support an eye-shadow addiction. I’m not saying it’s true, I’m just saying it.

What will I do? It’s pretty simple. I’ll get sounds put into the sound library. Let’s keep it simple, and get things done. No need to reinvent the wheel.

Putting sounds in the library is simple enough. Anyone could do this, and I could have done so had my microphone not very conveniently stop working as soon as I got elected. After that I was forced to rely on outside sources. You failed to point out that I did regain interest, and started some things that kept it flowing.

Yes, I ran out of time. I did not have enough to get done what I wanted done but I assure you that my ideas will get implemented regardless of my position on this forum. My ideas were supported by many, even some within the site management.

As for voting for you for everything- I personally think that is way to much power for one person and that there should be an enactment to forbid a person to run an ex amount of things at once. If you so happen to disappear (Or have to resign, etc etc) it will be chaos reelecting or reassigning various ministers.
