NY Resolution for DeMAYcracy

[FiveMileSmile]

[glow=red,2,300]Welcome to Democracy![/glow]

Right, it's time to find out which lucky poster gets to inflict mental torture on me for the month of May by selecting a film for me to review.

This month we will be determining this by means of democracy.

From now, until next Wednesday, the ballots will be open for anyone to vote for one of the fine candidates above to choose the film. However, there are rules (As Always) and these will be strictly enforced.

Rule 1) The candidates may use this thread to tout for votes. However, all their votes will be discounted if they at any time name the film they intend to pick. However, other people can suggest films, and the candidates may promise to inflict them, but are free to go back on their word at any time, just like normal politicians. Also all Party Political Broadcasts by the candidates must end with "Paid for by the friends and supporters of <Your Party Name Here>" else you will be thrown out of the election for violation of campaign finance laws.

Rule 2) If you haven't registered for the forums before today, your vote doesn't count. There will be no ballot stuffing in my elections.

Anything else is fair game, including bribery and slander (but play nice, kids). If the vote is a tie at the end of the voting, I get the casting vote.

- Rich

[Magill]

I proudly cast the first vote for myself.

If it will encourage you to vote for me, I will dig up photos of said Dino-Reenactment Party and post them for your enjoyment.

See photos of the entire cast in their sandwich board costumes!

See me hide my embarassment during the stupid "I Have 3 Horns" song by rubbing my face!

See press coverage of the event!

Rich, what does the "NY" mean in the title of this thread?

Paid for by the friends and supporters of Dino-Reenactment Party

New Years Resolution, Magill.

I approve of your campaigning, by the way. So far, the casting vote is going in your favour

I'm putting my vote up for sale. Bribery works Particularly to anyone who promises to inflict something really nasty.

[DocD83]

What will Rich give me if I put my vote to someone who promises a good movie?

If that incentive isn't suficiently sweet, I'll make like Lissa and become a vote-mercenary.

[duckie]

Maybe us non-participants could all band together... let's start suggesting movies, and when we come up with the worst one possible, give our votes to whomever is willing to inflict it on Rich.

I say, we make him review Dead Man... c'mon, who's with me? ;D

[pfrsue]

I'm going to join Lissa's coalition of the unabashedly greedy. Besides, my car needs to be washed.

[DocD83]

We need a name for our new organization. How about "the Boards' Insurgency to Traumatize Critics Harshly"? Or, for a more general organization, "Forumites United to Criticize and Kvetch"?

The latter may not meet the PG13 rating of the forum... ;D

[DocD83]

Does the former?

[duckie]

I dunno, but I thought the former was pretty creative

In protest of not being able to enter this contest, I choose to exercise my right to democracy by not exercising it at all. Thank you and good day.

[Hucklebubba]

If elected, I'll foist upon Rich an obscure yet passable movie. So, chuck your vote my way, all ye who don't wish for Rich to suffer overly much. Hello? Anyone?

Better resort to my campaign slogan. It's a dandy:

"Remember, a vote for me means a vote for vestigal limbs!"

Paid for by friends, supporters, and blackmail victims of the Comedy Forearms Party.

Don't forget, voting public, that whoever wins still has to abide by the "If I can't find it at Blockbuster or see it at the cinema, it doesn't get reviewed" rule.

So there's no point in forming a collective to make me watch Oversexed Rug-suckers from Mars (though I've already seen that, in fact), because I guarantee my local BB doesn't carry it.

Keep on exercising free will people!

[Lissa]

This is going to sound totally wrong, but thank you ever SO much for making me think of that particular ex.

We did happen to find that movie. And it is pretty bad. ANd no, I won't watch it again either. It's really, really warped.

Next time I want a movie about cleaning appliances, I plan to rent Vacuuming Naked In Paradise.
