Fourth Annual EoFF Elections!

**Election Booth** · 01-31-2004, 06:55 AM

It's that time of year, kids! Every year Eyes on Final Fantasy holds forum elections to create the illusion that each and every member has power. This year the elections will be more organized and less confusing because we here at Eyes on Final Fantasy believe elections should be open to all, regardless of poor hygiene or total incompetance.

First things first. There will be four (4) parties this year. Your task now is to form these four (4) parties. Each party must have at least ten (10) members, one of which is the designated leader. You have one (1) week (seven (7) days) to form these parties on your own and apply to me (Election Booth) for official party status. On 6 February 2004 around midnight eastern time (which is GMT -5 hours) I will peruse the official applications of all parties and choose the four (4) I think are most organized and give them official Party status. At that time I will also post the format the election will take.

Of the minimum ten members, each party will include the following:

one (1) leader who can not run for any specific forums but will run for board leadership as a whole.
one (1) representative for the following forums:
one (1) representative for the following forums:
one (1) representative for the following forums:
one (1) representative for the following forums:
one (1) representative for the following forums:
one (1) representative for the following forums:
one (1) representative for the following forums:
one (1) representative for the following forums:
one (1) representative for the following forums:

A Party must have at least ten (10) distinct members and fill each of those positions, but it may have as many members as it can find. Only ten (10) members can run in these positions.

In order to apply to be an official party, you must start a thread in General Chat to recruit members and then by the assinged date the chosen party leader must PM to me (Election Booth) the following:

Party Name
Official signatur banner of the party
the ten (10) members who make the party official
which forum position each of those ten (10) members represents

Once the parties have been chosen by me, I will post the method by which the election shall take place.

This thread is for questions about the process, not to apply. Only apply to be a party to me by PM ONCE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING LISTED. DEADLINE IS midnight eastern time on Saturday February 6th.

I'm glad you (Election Booth) made sure that this (election rules) was made as clear as possible (opposite of impossible).

*thumbs up*

Now get cracking! I want a decent slaughter this year of halpless fallen failed 'party' wannabees

***Loony BoB*** · 01-31-2004, 10:05 AM

But what if none of the four parties are satisfactory!? ;_; Only four parties? And that also means we'll have no more than forty peeps in the voting options, making it a huge popularity competition.

!

o noes! That means PG has a higher chance of being godly!

**Baloki** · 01-31-2004, 01:04 PM

I claim the party for the ultimate Sex0ring of Newbies.

And I want the FF8 position.

*Gets to working on a banner*

It's just like the real world. Only 40 people can actually be running for spots but anyone can join any party and support it. I'll be choosing the most organized and well thought-out parties, not necessarily the ones with the most popular members. Besides, how many people actually participate in the elections?

***Del Murder*** · 01-31-2004, 06:12 PM

Too many.

**Election Booth** · 01-31-2004, 06:37 PM

If I end up with five very good party applications and I can't decide, I might choose to include all five.

**Citizen Bleys** · 01-31-2004, 07:16 PM

Only four parties? That blows chunks. Half the amusement of these elections has been from the formation of all the silly frivolous parties

**Recirculatory System** · 01-31-2004, 07:55 PM

I am in agreement Bleys. I mean most of what I can see looks like it's pretty much for the fun of it. BAoTW isn't exactly serious. Neither is Mik's gimp party, whatever it may be called.

But the illusion that the EoFF equivalent of the Monster Raving Loony Party might win seems pretty spiffy to me.

It sounds like a liberal plot to exploit the common man, if you ask me. Before you know it, there will be wrenches and pancakes and apostrophes in horribly inappropriate locations. It will be a TRAVESTY.

"Gimp party..." xD

I have no idea what the word means, but it sounds funny.

Only thing that might start bothering me soon is, if General Chat will be full of only party threads.

**Strider** · 01-31-2004, 08:05 PM

It probably won't happen, but I have to ask: What happens if four parties don't hit the ten member mark?

**Peegee** · 01-31-2004, 08:29 PM

Then it's your fault for not quitting half-way and coming up with a better party name
