pre-Election rules making vote practice thread

[Citizen Bleys]

if I have to no longer be an admin just so I can have fun, then I'll step down as admin. I'd rather have fun than do nothing but tell people off.

See, I stepped down as an admin in order to have fun myself. I still tell people off, though.

I voted yes because I don't really think the rule makes sense. Why is it in place? Because of the possibility an Admin might abuse his/her power in favor of his/her party? If so, then that makes no sense at all because Admins, while not allowed to be party leaders are allowed to join parties, correct? What makes you think an admin who WOULD abuse their power when having the position of party leader would refrain from abusing said power as a party member?

Additionally, even if an admin DID abuse his/her power, it's not like they could really get away with it. If they start banning people who start other parties/are against their party, I think it would be rather obvious, and I'm quite sure the rest of staff would step in.

The rule just doesn't make sense to me. Perhaps there's a scenario I'm not seeing, and if there is I would be very happy if someone would point it out to me.

In short, I don't think the rule should be changed this one time for BoB, I think the rule should be changed, period.

the staff gets to be in charge of everything else

We're spoiled brats. What can I say.

[Loony BoB]

It's notable that admins can use their powers for good, not just evil.

Just like Gambit.

Yup

the staff gets to be in charge of everything else

Right, but no one is really in charge of these parties, at least from my experience. It's basically everybody getting together and deciding stuff amongst themselves with a leader voicing the party's opinion. I don't see how that leader being an admin can really effect what the entire party decides.

Then again, maybe the rest of you are fascists

Random rules make things fun.

Random rules make things fun.

this is exactly the point. The excitement in life is meeting new and often random challenges. I'm inclined to let the rule stand as is, especially because I came up with the rule in the first place.

[Psychotic]

Ciddie #50 really was true.

[Del Murder]

Technically, it wasn't.

[Psychotic]

You elitists, always with the technicalities.

[Raistlin]

I vote for whichever one makes BooB deadmin himself.

In this case, "no."

[eestlinc]

Technically, it wasn't.

but only we know the truth.
