RFC: The 2020 Presidential Election
-
In the vein of our 2016 Presidential election I would like to propose the 2020 Presidential Election
In this prestigious affair, the result is simply calculated.
Any person who posts in the official election thread, but is not nominated, wins the election!
-
I nominate everyone who posts in the official election thread!

Such flagrant flaunting of rules and traditions will not be looked upon kindly by the WTDWTFEC
-
To stimulate [my] ecomony I shall institute an income tax of roughly 62% on every TDWTF citizen. I think you'll agree that on no account I shall be nominated president
-
Anyone who even just accuses any politician of any criminal act shall be sent to Gitmo for life, no matter the evidence. After all, those in public service deserve the right to do whatever they want without bad consequences for themselves! Gord Bless Uhmerica!
-
I will nominate @sloosecannon, after all who is better suited for the position than the official arranging and overseeing the fairness of the election?
Oh, wait...
-
I officially nominate @boomzilla therefore preventing everyone from winning. After all aren't we all just @boomzilla alts.
-
@DogsB thanks, now I can safely post here.

This is an election not the Special Olympics.

As a president I will make downvotes public, upvotes secret and I'll make sure that garage leaks everywhere.
-
As a president I will make my long held dream come true, which is make all presidential elections into a job posting.
"Hey Obama, heard you're out of a job, wanna do some presidenting over here in Hungary? Here's the application form to upload your CV"
-
Don't know who to vote for? Do you want more time to decide on an ideal candidate?
VOTE @PLACEHOLDER As president I'll sit in the seat of power and hold onto it, doing absolutely nothing, until you can find a more suitable candidate.
-
I nominate @Placeholder! He's my kind of candidate!
And just to be safe, I also nominate myself.
-

I'm not sure if that's a valid vote. You probably have to at least @mention yourself (no kink shaming...).
Also, can I nominate @by-joining-this-group-you-agree-to-be-mentioned-randomly-for-no-reason-is-that-okay-yes-no?

Fine, I nominate @abarker, because I don't want the job.

I'm afraid someone has to nominate you. In other news @boomzilla is still in the running because self nominations are prohibited.

I believe that I count as someone.In other news @boomzilla is still in the running because self nominations are prohibited.
The rules say nothing about who must execute the nomination, only that the winner is someone who has not been nominated.

@abarker
If the rules lawyers win, I could always nominate you for a small consideration. I can even give you a 10% discount since I don't have to offer The Chairman a cut.

I could provide you with an upvote or two should the need for an outside nomination arise.
Please accept my upvote on your post as a good faith gesture.

Wait! The Constructicons form Devastator, the most powerful robot! They should rule!
-
As president I will have the forum migrated to the One True Civilized Discourse
forum software, with customized vim keybindings and an Enlightenment emulation layer written in Raku.
-
@topspin we could use a decent bug tracker.

It appears so.
In the interest of remaining neutral I shall provide no further rules clarifications.
-
Note that @sloosecannon did not say he listed all the rules yet.
-
If elected, I will immediately requisition a fighter jet and go joyriding.
I may or may not learn how to fly said jet before climbing in the cockpit, because why spoil things?
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETHUD

Are you really sure about that?
-
I don't want to be president. Clearly someone should nominate @apapadimoulis as the actual benevolent (ish) dictator of the forum
-
As president, I guarantee for the forum the same "nine fives" reliability you've already come to expect from @error_bot.
-
This thread reminds me of Vault 11.
