Official PokeCommunity Election #2 Discussion Topic

[aRedMoon]

Yep folks, it's that time again! It's time for the 2nd annual Pok?Community Presidential Elections. The rules this year are going to be quite similar to those of last year. Why? Because the election last year worked wonderfully, and we got ourselves two wonderful elected officials.

If you weren't around last October and November, you're probably wondering what in the world the president is, and why it's worth trying to run, eh?

The president and vice president both earn these rights:
a. Their own colored name. The color is their choice, as long as it doesn't conflict with any official staff colors (As in no taking the admin color :/)
b. The president gets their name in both bold and italic and the vice president gets their name in bold.
c. Both of them get a italic title under their Custom Title, similar to the Moderator one that the mods have. ^^
d. And of course, by far the best part -- THE BRAGGING RIGHTS! XD We all know how much fun it is to rub in your friend's faces that YOU were the elected [vice] president!

And like last year, it'll run in a normal fashion.
a. Potential canidates will be able to PM me with their applications come the beginning of March. Applications will be accepted March 1st to March 7th.
b. On March 8th, I will post the primaries. The primary voting will last for a week, like before. People will ahve the ability to vote for three of the numerous canidates March 8th thru March 14th. Then, the thread will be locked and the final runners will be chosen.
c. March 15th, when the final runners are posted, is the start of the final campaigning. After last time, and seeing that a full month is too much time, I'm gonna compress it down to 16 days. Then what comes?
d. April 1st, yes, April Fool's Day, is when the final voting thread will be posted. Voting will last... until the 10th.
e. April 11th, the final counts will be in. And I'll post the winners, and that'll be it - they can then go about contacting Higher Staff for their gifts. ^_~

But, we can't go without rules, can we? PC does live by it's rules...
a. No Super Moderators, Praetors, Staff Administrators, or Administrators may enter the competition.
b. No member previously elected to the office of President or Vice President may run again.
c. Canidates must have at least 50 posts and have joined before February 1st, 2005. If a user has started a new account, please link to it in the application PM so that I know you fit the requirements.
d. No "Vote for Me!" posts anywhere. You can add it to the end of a On-Topic post, but you can't make anything else. Understood~? :)
e. No sharing votes. You get votes and they stay yours.

To apply:
a. Private Message me with the following information:
--- "I want to join the PC Presidential Elections" or something to that accord
b. That's it! O.O


So go and apply! Hope to see you on the primary list! ^o^

Let's not forget that the title of President is bold/italic, like (Staff) Administrator. :P

 

[aRedMoon]

It is? I didn't know that. o_O

 

[Kyogre-chan]

*nods* Take a looksee at Brit's profile.

 

[aRedMoon]

Wow, I learned something today I guess. XD

*waits for andy/steve to reply [again]*

 

[Kyogre-chan]

Andy's in bed, so good luck. :P As for Steve, no idea... o.O

 

[Kylie-chan]

Neither did I, thanks for telling us ^_^

 

[Kyogre-chan]

You people really need to get around more... o.o;

 

[aRedMoon]

Eh...

*looks at clock* 1 AM...

I'm gonna go to bed. :P


Rip apart my post and make it better if you wanna. =3~

 

[Kylie-chan]

I sorta noticed it, Ty, never really thought about it. ^_^

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

I could use help you out if you like Greg... since you're on your own this time, you'll be overwhelmed with votes. If you've got someone else though, then I'l just sit back at the sidelines :(

 

[Kyogre-chan]

I thought he and Erica were running it again...? Or was it he and JA?

 

[Miyu-chan]

Ooh, this sounds fun. xD

1) When do we want to hold it?
-ASAP, like everyone said. xD
2) Can Brittany/FG run again?
-No? >.>;
3) Should staff be allowed to run this time around?
-Yes? xD
4) Should it be run out of Announcements or Other Chat? (If OC is chosen, I can do this all on my own =3)
-Announcements~

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

I know I'm co-running it. Although I'm gonna need a staff member to do the announcements posting, as I'm a normal user and denied that right...

I checked the thread, and it didn't say anything about Erica or JA in it... did it? o_O

 

[Kylie-chan]

Oh, oh~! Just a question, Greg. May I PM you to apply on MY March the 1st? I'm Australian, remember.

 

[Kyogre-chan]

*nods* I'm sure he won't mind, if you tell him about the time difference. But by the time you get home from school on the 1st, it'll be pretty close to the 1st for him. I know my timezones. :P

And yeah, I remember JA saying something about running it with Greg. Either that, or Erica doesn't mind helping again. o_O;

 

[Kylie-chan]

True, and thanks Ty ^_^ I can't wait til the elections *is bursting with hyperactive energy* XD

 

[LanceLite]
