_________ For President!

[Kipper]

Lightsong has been added. I'm on mobile so I'm not doing his pros and cons right now.

[Redbird]

How is being a stick a con?

[Cheese United]

Because he is a Stick.

[Kipper]

How is being a stick a con?

Because he can't talk, walk, or...*searching for another rhyming word*...balk moonwalk.

On the other hand, it is a stick.

What?! Why was I nominated here? I did not survive this long by trying to lead a bunch of superpowered nobles like you guys. Anyway I don't even have lots of reputation points. This must be some sort of trap.

*runs away*

Edit: I don't want to be President of the 17th Shard (or World Dictator), so it's good that I'm not winning the polls. But I am the self-proclaimed President of the Investiture-Challenged Awareness Society, of which I am the only member. Perhaps I should create a Guild out of it just to see if anyone would join.

It's kind of unsettling that Stick is sweeping World Dictator by such a huge margin.

[Kobold King]

I'd like to start the time-honored tradition of quoting my political adversaries out of context. Ahem:

 

 

I want to be the Obliteration of upvotes.

That other meaning of "swag" (a short form of "swagger") is very new and not as widespread.

And after suffering a fly-pig related blow to the head Scribbler created a massive sound system for the theme-music.

"I have not had the pleasure of eating bamboo before, but this cookie is most delicious. Thank you."

I don't know. Kill them.

I wish the anvils would just die already.

I'm so chaotic I can be orderly. It is madness.

 

And of course, from Hoid and Stick:

 

"I once spent the greater part of a year being digested."

 

"I am a stick."

 

Granted... most of these are from hilarious posts on the forum that I upvoted, and out of context they're more strange than anything else. But still. Out of context quotes are a time-honored tradition in politics, and I'm nothing if not a traditionalist.

[Kipper]

Kobold, I'm surprised you didn't dig up my Funtimes/Joker post. At first, I didn't remember the one you did post for me. Anyway, here's my retaliation:

Because if you're going to get drunk, you should be around people you trust not to slit your throat once you pass out.

Edit: You also said:

you should probably take up pandacide as a general hobby.

Le gasp!

I have nothing to say about any of the others that you posted.

The war begins...

I'm pentient Twilyght, but the prospect of President Kobold pursuing the ponification of politicians and political pundits is too promising to pass up. Since the Pony Party participants didn't pass the primaries, the pony population has to poll with the public servants perhaps best poised to placate their demands of pony preeminence, prior to the rise of President Pinkie Pie.

 

(Well, except for far-wing voters, obviously)

 

Also, as I've said elsewhere, thesauruses are fun.

[Left]

I voted for the Empress of course, for all three things. May not be very much in the spirit of things, but it follows my oath.

[Kipper]

Bump.

[Brightness Random]

Just discovered this thread! It's certainly an interesting idea, but I'm not entirely sure who to vote for.... The pro's and con's seem to cancel each other out in most cases... (And Snoopy, were there just too many con's to fit in your little explanation spoiler box? I noticed that despite your attempts at improving your appearance, you only got one vote. )

In case you didn't know, N/A means "not applicable." Does that answer your question?

[Brightness Random]

No, I know what it means, just... "Not applicable"? Do your own "foibles and idiosyncrasies" not qualify as con's...? I mean, all immigrants would be offered root beer and cookies, right? That seems like it should go on the list... somewhere...

What "foibles and idiosyncrasies" do you refer to?

And you make a good point. I shall add that to my list of pros.

[Brightness Random]

Offending duchess at the court, perhaps?

[Kipper]

Perhaps I should add "Is an expert at delightful badinage" to the pros.

You weren't really offended, were you? Had to check.

[Brightness Random]

Nope! I do enjoy banter...

 

Doesn't it bother you at all the Hemalurgy is Ati's art? Not at all...?

[Kipper]

Hold on a sec and I'll provide you with an interesting link on that subject...

[Kipper]

Doesn't it bother you at all the Hemalurgy is Ati's art? Not at all...?

Here's the link.

The simple answer to your question is no.

You?

[Brightness Random]

"I agree with you." *Shakes head* "Never thought I'd say that to a DA member about hemalurgy, but there we go."

[Kipper]

There's a first time for everything...

Have a cookie?

[Brightness Random]

I actually just had one... The investiture free kind, I mean. It was delicious.

 

I'm afraid I'm having far to much fun right now RP-ing as Brightness Random, the girl with no powers, to accept a cookie. Perhaps another time...?

Just sayin'

[Brightness Random]

One does if they want their spiritweb intact! (Actually, they don't partake at all. Ever.)

 

...There, I've voted now. Queen Elsa for president, as she does a great job governing Newcago (plus I've sworn fealty so... yeah.), you get a vote for vice president for putting up with me, and Kobold King gets my vote for World Dictator, as he couldn't offend other nations if he ruled the whole world.
