#1 sildatorak Sep 28, 2004 0:07:41	There was another post on this forum that brought up the idea of Pentar for President. Which factol, golden lord, other Planescape NPC would you want elected? This thread is probably treading on shaky CoC ground, so keep real world politics out of it. It is just supposed to be a friendly though experiment; let's keep it that way. I would like to see Swanson as pres. He seems pretty fair and would carefully weigh the value between giving handouts to needy people (and countries) and getting them to stand on their own.
#2 herecgunina Sep 28, 2004 0:43:48	Yay, my sig sparked debate. :D Anyway, it would probably be best (on this board, at least) to very vocally support Shemeska the Marauder in 2004. Failing that, I stand by Pentar because it would be reassuring to know that chaos, destruction and disorder are supposed to happen.
#3 nedlum Sep 28, 2004 0:54:29	Karan. Definately. He would invade France the morning he was sworn in, then forget about it by lunch and ask Chirac to marry him by dinner. Best four years ever. Rapid social changes beyond the wildest dreams of anyone!
#4 weenie Sep 28, 2004 4:55:29	I stand by Pentar because it would be reassuring to know that chaos, destruction and disorder are supposed to happen. Couldn't've put it better myself. Although the entropy thing is kinda anti-institutional... but on the other hand, there's that Project Mayhem Tyler Durden thing, so it could work...
#5 Shemeska_the_Marauder Sep 28, 2004 5:40:08	God... there's so many political comments I could make, including the ones openly mocking my own OOC political angle... but there's that whole CoC thing... One of my players and I randomly made up political slogans for a bunch of factols for president in '04 last night. Factol Sarin in '04 - No voting is required citizen, the Harmonium is your party of involuntary choice for your own good. Factol Rhys in '04! You don't need to think about it. etc
#6 Shemeska_the_Marauder Sep 28, 2004 5:42:21	Anyway, it would probably be best (on this board, at least) to very vocally support Shemeska the Marauder in 2004. "Oh I'm not in the running you see... I'm just serving as a presidential advisor already. Why expose myself to actual legal oversight? Pah!"
#7 zombiegleemax Sep 28, 2004 7:42:19	Graz'zt for President! He'll end the war*, work with the other fiendish planes, and bring the troops home! And then invade Heaven. * - you know, that war without end
#8 prophet_of_chaos Sep 28, 2004 8:59:25	Actually, Karan has already been President. Me and the other Big Bosses got together and organized a huge grassroots movement to install him as a write-in candidate. He was mazed during (or was it because of) his acceptance speech. I'm not even supposed to be telling you this.
#9 sildatorak Sep 28, 2004 10:28:52	You're right PoC, Pentar is very hot in a way that I probably can't describe off of the mature boards as other than "scary in a good way." Anyway- Lhar in '04. Or not. It doesn't really matter.

#17 sildatorak Sep 28, 2004 18:29:53	Patch for President. Support the only candidate that has never lied to the public. Plus the debate would be interesting to watch.

#19 ripvanwormer Sep 28, 2004 18:58:44	I would vote for Pentar. Finally, a solution to urban decay... faster urban decay. Also, she's a candidate who would take a hard stand against the threat of modron marches, which are ruinous for property values. But who would make a better campaign manager, Harys Hatchis or Rule-of-Three? All I know is, I want to see Sly Nye in the debate.
#20 nedlum Sep 28, 2004 19:51:15	Sly Nye? (S?)he's the moderator, as I recall. Actually, the real question is whether Xanxost will split the vote. He's running as an Independant canidate. Can I date? Why not? Oh. Did you hear the latest news? Karan just dropped out. He endorsed Kadyx. The monster that lives in the Slags, yes. "Good antipeak, cutter. I was wondering if you would crosstrade me your vote in the race for Cage Blood. I would be sure to high-up you. Remember, berk, Ylem is your basher!" "Farrow? You barmy? Yesterday he was a Sinker, the day before a Defier. Now he's a sodding Godsman. You want a flipfloper like that with the keys to the cage?" Hell, we should bring up all the Faces of Sigil in this thread.
#21 prophet_of_chaos Sep 28, 2004 20:13:53	I was just on my way to vote for the Lady of Pain, but I think I got lost on the way. Hey, didn't I pass that street 2 hours ago? Uh oh....

#25 zombiegleemax Sep 30, 2004 9:30:35	A'kin for president, it'd be worth it just to see what he'd do.
#26 nedlum Sep 30, 2004 11:45:04	It's just based on the philosophy of the Ring-Givers (Which Jeremo [the Natterer, or something] is the would-be factol of if it ever supplants a current faction): what goes around, comes around. If I give you a dollar, I'll get that dollar back later on, somehow. By the same token, if you vote for a Ring-Giver, he'll later vote for you.
#27 zombiegleemax Oct 02, 2004 9:14:26	It's a toss up. On the matter of the Factions.. Rhys is the only sane one of the lot of ya. On the other hand Primus makes a good arguement for why he'd be a very good ultimate leader. Hmm. Second Thought. Vote Raziel. We'd finally attack all those other terrorist places we avoid due to friendship (sadi). Then we'd attack half of Europe. Then Asia.. Then get them Aussies.. There we go. Vote Raziel: If it's evil. He'll smite it. (Message Paid for by the Yugoloths.)
