    Don't give up because of some joke, if they re-do this we'll still need 2 tribunes in the forums, and I honestly think that you and Fey deserve the position.

    And now kids I want you to look at this election and turn this into a discussion about the fundamental flaws of democracy and allowing the common man power. Glory to the mods.

    On the grounds that you directly interfered in the honest election process.

    And this is why I was against the election of tribune to begin with, besides they usually do nothing.

    There is no purpose to a tribune. It only came about because some members felt butthurt and everyone else lol let's do it.

    Because you bribed the voters which is the only reason Demon won.

    Did Demon have any knowledge of this taking place during his campaign?

    Still though bribing should definitely not be tolerated. I could have sworn we had a rule in the constitution against bribes. Damnit this reminds me of Animal Farm when the animals remembered different stuff written down on their laws but it was apparently "never there" i.e. changed by the pigs. (not saying that is what happened).

    edit: It says private bribery. This is utterly ridiculous. Ronald knows what he did was wrong and knew very well that there was a loophole. The fact that he knew there was a rule against bribery and worked to find a way around it is despicable in my opinion. I think we need to add an amendment banning bribery period, then redo the elections.
