Greetings, my fellow CINtizens!

I am proud to announce our very first CIN elections!
Based on our posting statistics our most frequent posters, Chip & Telfer are squaring off! Registration to vote was YESTERDAY. Only people registered as of yesterday are eligible to vote!
There will be a “debate” thread soon enough, and then a town hall style where you can ask them questions.
The position they’re running for is First CINtizen (or Commander-CIN-Chief). Their responsibilities will be arbitration, and mediation. They will have to officiate at formal CIN activities and will receive all sorts of prizes that will be mentioned later.

Here are their first official statements!!

The Monotrematous Lugubriosity Party candidate, Dan Telfer-

Your God reached out to Dan Telfer in a dreamsong and spoke thusly:

"Dan, WTF? You post too much"

Except it was all song-y and weird. Dreams are hard to describe.

Dan's platform promises the following:

-No more gay blowjob videos on CIN. Dan's browser is full of gay blowjob videos, and banning them from CIN is the only way to curb this obvious menace.
-An extremely unpopular VP, to guarantee he will never be assassinated.
-Tyler photoshop threads will be made stickies.


And from Chip:

Fellow CINizens, last night I had a dream that I would be put to death for buying the last muffin in the bakery. I took it as a sign that my days of consumption have weighed heavy on the scales of karma, and that I need to add some ballast to the side of service.

Thusly, I am running, not just to make your CINing lives better, but to save my own self. That's motivation you can count on, CIN!

I believe in a CIN where the youtube thread only contains legitimately interesting videos, where the thoughts and speculation on Lost are still the most viewed, the most contributed to.

I believe in a CIN where show promotions are kept to the Shows and Events forum. I believe that our worth is measured in the number of posts in our birthday threads.

I believe in an improv forum where we will finally discuss overcrowding in classes, once and for all, until we do it again the next year.

I believe.

Believe.


---------------------------------------

Standard protocol and etiquette in your posts is encouraged and enforced. Have fun! Oh! Next week, Chip and Dan will announce their Vice-Cinadate!

Declare your allegiance! Support your candidate!

A mammal or a bird; who is the real Dan Telfer?

Hmmm, Tyler photoshop stickies vs. Belief and Chip's life?

That's a tough call.

The issues aren't at hand, here Jill. Wisen up people.

Is Nader a choice?

I accidentally voted this thread one star because Nick posted in it. That's the kind of impulsive wisdom I hope to rule with.

Who are the Veeps?

And...are there any side dishes?

Who would win in a cagematch fight?
And not that girly improvate cagematch... I mean, a bare knuckle, no-holds barred cagematch.

Jason, you ask a good question. My opponent is a tall guy. I am the shorter, scrappy sort. So you might think he'd win by overpowering me. However, I'm pretty tenacious. I think I'd turn into a whirling ball of fists and knees.

Winner: The people of CIN

Sounds like something the fictional character "Wolverine" would say.

Wolverine? Who's Wolverine? I'll tell you, hypothetical person, it's a Canadian mutant murderer and likely homosexual who thinks rape is funny. TASTELESS.

Sound like the kind of person you want representing your message board?

But let's get back to the original question: I am indeed much taller than Chip. I am also a pacifist. So Chip could punch and "knee" my ankles all he likes, I will stand there as gentle as stone. When he is exhausted and curls up into a ball, I will gently lift him up and place him in one of my people's giant oversized matchboxes. Then I will call the police because he assaulted me.

Winner: Justice.

I believe we will announce our running mates soon, and hopefully this will further confuse things.

I'm going to just throw my hat in as a third party candidate. Change your icon to 1986 David Bowie from the movie Labyrinth if you are with me!

I'll clean up this board and make it safe for everyone! No one is going to be denied membership just because of their race, gender, or sexual orientation anymore!

Good luck with that. I've pitched tents with more posts than you.

Today I reveal my VP candidate. Hopefully this will crush Chip forever, because frankly he is too three-dimensional for his own good.
