BrikRuler: A new figurehead elected by us

[pesgores]

So, every organization has its figurehead.

I say, we need a figurehead, too.

Someone that people take seriously, someone that has some powers but when it comes to it, he doesn't have any, someone that may declare thread winners without being contested, etcetera.

To be elected BrikRuler the account must be 6 months or older

The BrikRuler will be chosen by the peasants so they can trust on someone to declare winners, insane people, discuss with Rayhawk baninations, kill threads, etc.

Also, the BrikRuler may choose Ministeries, and change and create all moral rules possible.

Plus, we'll all get a nice list of important people on the BrikWiki! It may contribute to spread the word among other websites or real life.

Mandates last for 1 month, with the elections taking place on day 5, and the race for the position beggining on day 1. So, tomorrow the race for the first ever BrikRuler starts!

I must say that I am going to candidate. But campaign only starts tomorrow.

[birdman]

I'll go to candidate as well.
I promise that if I get elected, I won't do anything about it and nobody will know we have a brikruler.

[pesgores]

You don't get my vote.

[manbird]

Birdman has my vote.

[Cpt. Zipps]

I propose we have two parties, Triangle and Anti-TrianlgeI will throw my name into the ring. My policies are

-Pro Triangle
-Anti Peach/Pro Yellow
-Anti Megablox
-Anti Dimmy/Pro Grammar
I will campaign for the continuing excellence of building on these forums and I will campaign unde the banner the Triangle Party.

Start a General discussion thread and have the candidates enter the running, then throw them on a poll. Five bucks says Benny or Warhead win.

[Magic Soap]

I reckon Rayhawk or Stubby will win, as they already run this place!

[Warhead]

I declare Silverdream the winner!

My reasons.

He qualifies on all counts stated above for this job.
He's no longer here, non-interference is guaranteed
Everyone that remembers him thinks he's a dick (at least that was the impression from the posts I have read)

[IVhorseman]

Oh man, this is even worse than your "virtual money" idea.

However, I'll toss my hat in the arena since I've been here since the Frappr days. I'll be running on the platform of "no, you guys are stupid".

I seriously have no idea what this could possibly accomplish, other than being another thing for you to claim "hur hur my idea", especially with "Mandates" and "Ministries" that all sound completely retarded.

As Brikruler, I would promise to keep doing the exact same thing I do every day, unless I feel like doing something else that day.

[birdman]

That's my campaign promise, buddy. get your own.

[IVhorseman]

No, because I'd definitely abuse my "power", albeit mostly to piss off peg-sore

[dilanski]

So basically you want, a go between, to speak to Rayhawk on a, 'recommendations yet still your choice' Level, the only person stopping this is Rayhawk, who enjoys, doing the opposite of what hes asked. So the only people our Overlord listens to our, Natalya, AlmightyB, Blitzen and IV, leaving a very small group of people for proper, Candidates.

[lrdofbricks]

i would like to be elcted. i promise not to ban people unless we really need something to talk about, argue agianst anything rayhawk does wrong until he threatens to ban me, and turn all derailed discussions into an indeth thread on cake.

[Leprechaun]

let them eat cake.....

[Rayhawk]

I never really thought about it before now, but ever since pesgores first hit the forum, what he's really wanted is his own forum. How hard is it to get a forum? Aren't there places online where you can make your own forums for free?
