President of the TrekBBS

[Locutus of Bored]

I'm going to go for maximum ass kissing and obviousness and nominate Bonz for President of TrekBBS.

I will also nominate myself for Secretary of Veterans Affairs. It's a much more desirable position than Secretary of Newbs Affairs.

For a minute, I thought you said Secretary of Veterinarian Affairs. Bugger.

 

[ITL]

That's simply not good enough! I demand a leadership contest!

I vote Holdfast be the one to lead the anarchists!

Then it wouldn't be an anarchy, would it?

Well, if you're going to get all logical about it...

You know she'll never take the nomination.

We old farts are quite the handful. You sure you want to do that?

 

[TEH BABA]

teh baba teh only c hoice for trekbbs admin that make sense.

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Aw, crap.

*secretes designs on Voyager forum away*

If you nominate me and I win, I'll let you be my XO.

Eh, you can create your own party of anarchists if it makes you happy... anarchy with all the benefits of hierarchy. Call it the Provisional Real Anarchists of TrekBBS if you like.

Well, looks like this contest is over.

SPLITTERS!!

 

[Colonel Green]

TrekBBS doesn't have a President, it's a constitutional monarchy. T'Bonz is our Queen, and cannot be removed. Mods and Admins are the House of Lords, serving at her pleasure.

The question is: Who is Prime Minister?

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

^ To the Stockades with you! This is a coup d'état!

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Eh, whatever leader we end up with, it'll all end up as corrupt and gloomy as before.

Real change is needed. Not new leadership...

... NO leadership.

We need a place where we can run wild and free, to do as we please. No figurehead to tell us what we can't do.

The choice is yours, people. More time in chains... or new time for change.



(And no, don't think you can counter my argument by nominating me for leader - that kind-of defeats the purpose of the whole thing, and I will not be corrupted by your seductive [as they may be] materialist promises. )

Sure. I'll even tell people to change their Depends when they are full of shit.

Hey, with Alvin Greene getting nominated in South Carolina, anything's possible.

You, sir, are tempting me to run for President myself. But, I don't think an Admiral Janeway type leader would ever win the entire board... unless you were going for anarchy...

I don't think the board can handle a Janeway presidency. The denial alone if Janeway were to be assassinated would tear the board apart... or at least TrekLit.

That gives me an even better idea:

Hear ye! Hear ye!

I, ZR, hereby nominate EVERYONE for leader. ​

There. Now you can really fight it out among yourselves. Pass the popcorn... [munch]

... also the Voyager forum, parts of Misc and the Lounges.

But, on screen, Janeway can never die, and, without a constitution limiting terms, I could rule forever.

I love the smell of a coup in the afternoon!

 

[Dancing Doctor]

Aw, crap.

Who else would beat you?

"Adm_Hawthorne for Voyager Chair:

Pro-Coffee, Pro-J/7...what more could you want?"

FWIW, I'd like to nominate myself for Enterprise Chair.

"I'll put the 'ho' in 'Hoshi'!"

That's pretty much what's going on here anyway, right?

 

[Lindley]

I want to be the Director of Homeboard Security.

No, wait. Then I'll get blamed for everything that goes wrong despite little actual ability to stop it. Screw that.
