    No. That will attract too many users to the ballot who hardly know any of the candidates, only voting for the name they've heard in the War Room once or twice, and be like "Don't know him, neither do I know him. Hey! I know this guy!"

    That's why I said that in that case there should be a "none of the above option". But let's face it, our elections are kinda like a little popularity contest.

    None of the above wouldn't stop that effect. And I see no need in encouraging the popularity contest, either. Since I joined in November, I have tried to give the Elections more content.

    :( I'm going to create a thread with a poll asking to ban you. What are you going to do now, huh? :(

    I'm going to do nothing for a while, just continuing trolling. Then I'll leave when my trolling doesn't sprout, and come back, only to bash on this random person, trying to prevent him being a Tribune.

    Chelsea will turn out not to be from the States at all, and she will leave too, a day or two later.

    I like this idea. I think Stalin's will work the best though. Having a few short 2 day polls seems like it would work great.

    The problem is that the forums grow everyday, so while the old system was good, when we have so many people that can be nominated with the bigger forums, it does require changes from time to time, the best thing about Stalin's proposal and not Mosh's is a much better system that doesn't need to change based on how many people are running.

    Also I know you love me as well =P

    I like Stalin's idea better than my own. Let me create a poll, and add Stalin's idea to the main post. 3 options, My idea, Stalin's idea, Stick with Current System. Then the mods and stalin can decide based on what the people stay, while making it still their own decision in the end. :p

    Make a thread with a poll then request that this be locked.

    edit: link them to this thread so they know what you are talking about.
