The PM of Obernewtyn Game, pt 2

[Min]

The nominations are in! You decide, who should be the PM of Obernewtyn?
details in this thread

Nominees are:
Dardelan by Kayt

I would just like to take the opportunity to declare myself Dardelan's campaign manager. It must be my experience running Rex Ficus' highly succesful campaign that persuaded the Candidate to hire me. He hasn't written his speech yet, but he's hard at work in my closet, getting everything down perfectly.
Dardelan for Master of Obernewtyn!

Domick by Min

Right. I'm the only Obernewtyn-er who's actually lived outside of the farm, as a practising misfit. I've seen the way the cities work, and if you want a reliable leader who won't take any bullying from the city-folk, I'm your man. In fact, I would be shocked if you considered anyone else for the position. Not only am I the most experienced in handling diplomatic situations, but I have always - always had Obernewtyn's best interests at heart.
All: Vote for Domick!
Domick: And not just because I coerced you to!

Rushton by Squirt

WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE!?! After all the work I did to make Obernewtyn the place it is today you expect me to just sit here and allow this! Gah! I, Rushton Seraphim hereby declare that I am running for Prime Minister...ship...er...ness...whatever! I agree that you should all have a leader who is elected by you, I also believe that that leader should continue to be me!
Elspeth: You tell 'em honey!
Rushton: A vote for me is a vote for the whole of Obernewtyn!

Maruman by CookieLover

A vote for insanity is good, VOTE FOR MARUMAN!

Miryum by Min

Orys: We nominate Miryum!
Roland: *sighs* No one knows where she is...
Orys: Nevertheless. We nominate her. It's our right. Her leadership skills, and shivalry vows, tie her fate to Obernewtyn's. She exists only to serve Obernewtyn. What more could one ask for in a leader?

Maryon by ArcticFirefox

I nominate Maryon. Earlier this evening, she foretold that she would become Prime Minister, so everyone else might as well quit now.

Kella by Kaylan

I am part of Obernewtyn too and I think I should have a say. I nominate Kella, my good woman, for all her services in the healer hall. I mean, she just doesn't get recognised enough, do you Kella?

Roland by Min

Roland: *starts crying* ...but...
*lights dim*
Roland: What about me...it isn't fair. I've had enough, now I want my share, CAN'T YOU SEE?! I wanna lead. Coz you (all) just take more than you giiiiiivee-
Gevan: *covering ears* I nominate Roland. If he shuts up.
Roland: *dramatically* What...about...me-e-eee...

Dragon by DM

Dragon of Prime Minister!!! Yes she is young, and well, comatose for quite a while. But she is the daughter of the Red Queen, and is born to rule!!!! She will have fresh ideas, it will take her mind off Matthew, and how can anyone resist the red curls and blue eyes? She has leadership written over her fresh scavenger-wildchild face! With the world at her feet, this girl will be what Obernewtyn needs.

Avra by Kangaruth

Why should a human lead Obernewtyn. Apart from anything else, they're all mad! I nominate Avra. She's done such a good job of leading the Beasts, and she isn't weighed down by stupid human ideas.
Animals: *cheer*
Avra: Um, well, gosh, I don't know what to say. I'd certainly do my best to make Obernewtyn a better place for everyone. I'd keep Rushton away from the pigs, anyway!

VOTE NOW! You have 2 weeks ;D So, voting closes on the 13th June.

Feel free to deebate / bicker / robut the nominees and cases in this thread.
*Rushton and Domick crack their knuckles and look menacingly at each other*

[Lauren]

*points to current stats* Whats that? Rushton in the lead? Why, the good people of Obernewtyn do have sense *cracks knuckles along with Rushton*

[Min]

It's been what, 2 hours since the polls started? Don't get overconfident yet, Lauren

[Elspethseeker]

And Dameon isn't in here! What a crying shame. lol hmm. well I say all for the animals!! They seem to have more sense!

[Rilla]

Kella's winning Yay for her!

[avra]

Ack! I couldn't decide whether to vote for Rushton or... Avra
I realised that I didn't actually read through all the campaign speeches before voting - sounds a lot like a "real" election to me!

[Domick]

Bec: *Is standing talking to Domick* [/color] Not bad, we just need to whip up some more support. Any suggestions?
Dom: Smear campaign? Seems a popular choice in most elections...
Bec: *Nods thoughtfully* [/color] Maybe...
Dom: Or I could just coerce the voters.
Bec: This is a democratic election Dom, key word 'democratic.'
*Rushton approaches. Domick spots the danger before Bec* [/color]
Dom: Ah...Bec, lets go and see Min.
Bec: OK, why?
Dom: No reason. *Seizes Becs arm and hauls her away before another arguement erupts* [/color]

[Min]

Min: Phew...all this campaigning is tough.
*Domick runs up dragging Bec*
Bec: I don't see...what the? Let me go!
Domick: We're far enough away now...
Min: From what, dare I ask?
Domick: Well...um, Rushton's over there, with a whole heap of eggs.
Bec: So he's progressed from pigs to chooks. Big deal, you didn't have to rip my arm off!
Min: It looks like he's planning on throwing them...gah, this could get messy.
Bec: Not as messy as his face if he even thinks of throwing one at-
*SPLAT!*
Domick: Ohhhh...that's not good...

[Arctic Firefox]

Maryon: I have foretold that all who vote for me shall have a pleasant life. Those who do not ... well. And those who vote for Rushton ... don't say I didn't warn you.

[Min]

Dameon: It's a shame Elspethseeker wasn't around to nominate me...*sad sigh*
Domick:...well, now you mention it, we're both working to the same end, right Dameon?
Bec: What, to over throw Rushton-?
Min: Looks that way-
Domick: NO! To best serve Obernewtyn you silly heads!
Dameon: So, you're suggesting a party?
Domick: I most certainly am! If I get elected, would you like to be on parliament with me? I'd appreciate a conscience like yours around...
Dameon: well...I usually do that for Rushton-
Min: -and look where it's got you?
Bec: Oh, yes, Dameon! Please?
Dameon: ...all right. If Domick gets in, I'll stand by him.

All: Huzzuh!

Kella: *miffed* And if I get in?
Domick: I'll stand by you
Kella: Oh...that's right. We made up at the ball, didn't we...

[Domick]

*The distraction presented by Dameon fades and Bec realises she had egg dripping down her face* [/color]
Bec: RUSHTON! YOU... *Domick claps a hand over her mouth* [/color]
Dom: Bec! Not in front of the children!
Bec: What children?
Dom: Those *Points at some younger misfits* [/color]
Bec: Alright. I'll save the profanities for when I drag him outside and crack the remaining eggs on his face then shove him into the pool!
Dom: YAY! Another pool incident!
Bec: *Storms off towards Rushton who aquires a 'deer in the headlights' expression* [/color]
Dom & Min: Rushton, start running!

[Lauren]

*Rushton is at the bar looking modest*
Rushton: *whispering* Psst! Lauren! How am I going?
Lauren: Well, youre winning in the voting, but...
Rushton: ...yes...?
Lauren: Stop with the eggs. Im getting offspray.
Rushton: Oh, I apologise. Anything for you, Lauren
Lauren: *swoons*

[Cookie Lover]

VOTE FOR THE CAT, YES THE CAT!!!!!!

[Megana]

Has anyone else noticed that Rushton's campaign speech was written in a most un-readable shade of green? Is someboday trying to undermine his chances? *Glances in the direction of Min, Dom and co.* ... *Shrugs and votes for Dom anyway.*

[Domick]

Dameon: *Graps Bec and empathises calm at her* [/color] Don't do anyhting hasty now...
Bec: I'll give you hasty! *Struggles* [/color]
Dameon: Just leave him, don't rise to the bait. Don't give him the satisfaction of seeing he's getting to you!
Swallow: *Joins them* [/color] Who's getting to who?
Dameon: Guess.
Swallow: Can't you two be in a room together without fighting? Honestly, you're both adults, act like it!
Bec: Someone got out of the wrong side of the caravan this morning!
Dameon: Don't you two start! Who you voting for, Swallow?
Swallow: Not sure...certainly not pig boy.
Bec: Excellent. Unfortunately, pig boy appears to be winning. Any ideas?
Swallow: Sabotage?
Bec: Preferably legal ideas?
Swallow: Ah, that could be more of a problem.

[avra]

So... ah, when does polling close?

[Cookie Lover]

*walks around wearing maruman gear* "Vote one, Maruman for leader! He promises free food for everyone if he wins!"

Someone: "Erm, isn't the food alread free?"

Me: "It'll be free-er."

[Min]

Av - at bottom of the first post. Polls close 13th June ;D

*sees who's leading*

Ahh...cr.....ud.

[avra]

Ahh, of course! Silly me! Well, as I said, I kind of skipped reading all the campaign speeches

[Elspethseeker]

*runs up and grabs Dameon away from Bec*
Elspethseeker: there now Dameon let loose you never know this might put you in the election if candidates fall out! *wink
Dameon: huh but i don't mind really honestly I dont! Maybe Swallow could step up if need be...*starts to edge away*

[Lauren]

;D Mmhmm. Rushton.

[Arctic Firefox]

But clearly, we will be having run-offs. You can't win the Prime Ministership with 27% of the vote! It's not democratic!

[Squirt]

I dont care if he wins on 20%! If Rushton wins , hes the winner dammit! lol. GO RUSHTON!!! ;D

[Cat-Eyes]

But it's not like we have perefential voting in a poll, so clearly we're going for a kind of early democratic. Person with the most votes = wins.

[Rilla]

Come on, Kella! You can do it!
