Title: Election for King of the Order of Pie (OOP members ONLY; please vote!!!)
Post by: Shaggy on June 10, 2009, 08:17:30 PM
Hear ye, hear ye!

The Order of Pie is calling together its members and fans to vote on who shall be the leader! At this hour, we have but two nominees; go to http://www.timewastersguide.com/forum/index.php?topic=6845.120;topicseen to nominate more (or just post in this thread)! Vote for who you think shall lead OOP with the most dignity and honour, who shall promote the name of pie until the very skies are filled with it! But be warned: the consequences of a non-pie-lover voting on this thread are terrible–so terrible, in fact, that to put it in words would inflict such pain of mind that I will refrain from doing so (as of now). Heed my warning, cake-loving heretics. Heed it, or suffer.

With Dignity, Honour, and in the Name of Pie,
LAVGRS

Well, it would hardly be right of me to nominate Eerongal without voting for him. Good luck, sir. May the man with the best taste win (That sounds rather like the beginning of a fop battle, doesn't it?).

I feel that the beginner of the battle is the one who best deserves to lead. However, between the two of you, I would be perfectly happy with either as King (and I'm not just saying that).  8)

My guess would be when he edited to polls to include himself :P

I imagine Jade saying this in Hal's voice from 2001.

Apparently not much, since I voted on this poll a week ago, and nothing has happened to me yet. :P

Treachery is indeed afoot!  Shaggy has been manipulating the polls!

(If it makes you feel any better, I voted for you)

I hereby declare the so-called 'Jade Knight' a deceitful and cunning turncoat who deserves no place in The Order of Pie's affairs. By the right invested to me by the Pie God and the very will of the People of Pie, I declare The Jade Knight, traitor that he is, banished from the land of Pie–and never to return. If The Jade Knight ever enters this land, in either Cake-Loving mind or body, he is to executed at once.

With Dignity, Honour, and the Love of Pie,
Shaggy

This is treason!  You are not the king of Pie!  You are not even worthy to be called Bob!

For this treason, Shaggy should be banished from the order of Pie!  We shall do this democratically (a method Shaggy seems to detest).

By taking Jade off the poll without asking anyone about it. Of course Jade is going to disagree, but what about everyone else? If no cared that he was up there (and obviously, he was getting votes, so people must've liked the option), then it shouldn't have mattered WHO put him up there....

(maybe "fascist" was too strong a word, but I rather like it. But in essence it's redundant, since the way in which I meant it was the same that "dictator" gives too, so...yeah. And since you didn't get any outside opinion before altering the poll, I'd say dictator suits you pretty well...;))

Sorry Shaggy but I agree. You need to address the situation to the other voters before changing anything to make it as fair as possible.

I'm not a dictator. Obviously. I set up an election which will effectively take away my power here. How is that a dictatorship??

OK, correction: I'm not the kind of dictator you're thinking of. I'm the good kind of dictator, which you probably didn't know existed. Please note number two.

dic?ta?tor
??[dik-tey-ter, dik-tey-ter]  Show IPA
–noun
1.   a person exercising absolute power, esp. a ruler who has absolute, unrestricted control in a government without hereditary succession.
2. a person invested with supreme authority during a crisis, the regular magistracy being subordinated to him until the crisis was met.
3.   a person who authoritatively prescribes conduct, usage, etc.: a dictator of fashion.
