Chives's Campaign Thread

I have never taken much personal interest in the office of tribune until quite recently. In fact, until a few weeks ago, I was never sure of what exactly it even was. However, I have looked into this Tribunal election. At first, my interest was only to spectate and vote, that is, until I witnessed the lineup of the individuals seeking the position.

While a few nominees have sought the position with wholly legitimate intentions and with the forum's best interest in mind, it is blatant that numerous nominees are seeking the position only to hold power on the forum or to mock its authority.

I have nominated myself to ensure that the "joke" candidates do not obtain the title of Tribune.

This probably seems counter-intuitive at first, for it will likely only fracture the serious candidates, however, my candidacy is not meant to be new. It is here to replace that of another member's.

ComradeLer and I have spoken and agreed that it is in the best interest of the forum and its members to have me take his place in the election for reasons that will not be cited here.

It may seem as though this is a feeble attempt to form an opposition to our opponents, but I assure you that it is not.

I am a serious candidate and have only done this because I believe I am a qualified candidate and can hold the position well.

I do care about the members of the forum and their concerns, and I wish to ensure that all voices are heard. If you have an issue, please let me know about it and I will convey your concerns to the forum staff and work with them to resolve the conflict.

To ask the moderating staff for complete transparency on all decisions they make is an unreasonable request. Although, it is something that I will work to compromise with them on. I will work toward partial-transparency on staff decisions.


My fellow members, I am just like you.
I am active and partake in your discussions and you partake in mine.

I have shown my devotion to the forum. I have organized games and movie nights for the forum, which, regardless of the results of the election, will continue to take place. In addition to these, I've begun posting videos and doing livestreams purely for your entertainment, because I care about you and place on this forum.

I am a candidate who cares. I am taking this nomination seriously and I will take my position of Tribune seriously as well. I ask you, please, do not let the trolls and spammers represent you, for they will only wreck everything we stand for.

Vote Chives and FeyBart for Tribune!!!!

You two seriously are the best candidates for this now that Ler resigned. And if other forum members have any sense they will vote for you and Fey simply because the rest isn't taking this as seriously as they should and are just making a mockery out of this Tribune thing, although I won't say any names in here.

You pretty much made the exactly right point here.

I bet you only a few people take this serious. It's just an internet forum.

Then please don't vote in this if you don't take it seriously.

Yuri, stop saying shit like that.

Hmph. I'm still going to vote numbnuts.

If there's one thing I hate are people who don't take voting seriously. It can end up with a clown that can't read taking a position of power in your country and bring in even more corruption and believe me, Rio de Janeiro experienced this last year and they are suffering for it now.

Didn't they literally vote for a clown? I thought that was hilarious, and awesome.
If you're convinced there are no serious alternatives you think really deserve your votes, voting for the party with the craziest ideas or best name is perfectly justified by me.

The clown's party had people who were arrested before because of corruption, and now they're in power again because people thought it would be funny to vote for a clown.

You make it sound like I would vote for Lighthouse or Viking. Far from it yuri, far from it.

Yeah, I thought I read about that some time.

It's true, if you care for translating this page : http://ultimosegundo.ig.com.br/eleicoes/tiririca e eleito deputado federal/n1237790558018.html

Clown party that had corrupt members? wtf

Yeah, I tried Google translate...not very successful...

It's not the Clown Party, it's the clown's party, the guy that got voted was literally a clown.

Did he have a special reason to run for president anyway?

Not president, Federal Deputy. And it wasn't him who wanted, it was another very corrupt man who had the idea to bring a clown and make advertisements on TV so he could put his hands on public coffers again, seems like it worked.
