2000 AD Online Forum

or indeed Provost?
We could have elections on the board and the winner could decide on important subjects like the number of links in Dredd chain, the population in Mopads at any one time, who wins  in event of a draw in the art comp, you know inportant stuff?

I vote for Godplton or whatever he's called this week

I vote for me.

I'd vote for Byron Ambrose, he seems like ever such a nice chap...

Thryllseeker, just to see what madness would ensue...

Quote from: "Dark Jimbo"Thryllseeker, just to see what madness would ensue...

I've changed my vote.
Thryllseeker.

Yes. But it can only be a monkey.

Quote from: "The Cosh"Yes. But it can only be a monkey.

Another on for TS, then...

Actually, after about a second of thought- TS is yer man.

While this is a blinding idea, how often would we have elections? How long would each mayor reign? A week? A month?

Me...as I am part sheep and wooly in the head.

Three months, just long enough for things to fester and get people reaching for their pitchforks

I don't need to be a mayor. I am already your God.

I should point that if the theoretical incumbent mayor would be Jim Campbell since he won Boarder of the Year.

Ha-ha-ha. Plopgodleman for mayor!

And from thenceforth his every edict was "Your face". So was it written, so shall it be.

We can't make TS mayor, he'd have to be ritually disembowelled with a space spinner once his term was up and the next "Horned Mayor" was elected.

If we need a Mayor, it has to be Dave. End of.

And yet you have all failed to worship me as a God, nor pay tribute in the appropriate manner at every full moon. Only three of you have even bothered to learn the official song, fer chrissake.

Don't think I haven't noticed. You know how sometimes posters on this board just seem to ... stop posting? Almost like they ... disappeared?

Just sayin', is all ...

Move along now, nothing to see here.

Jim

Ah. Turns out Jim's evil. That's that then.

What about a coalition mayorship of Millhouse and Spawn?

Of course one of them would have to be the silent partner.

QuoteWe can't make TS mayor, he'd have to be ritually disembowelled with a space spinner once his term was up and the next "Horned Mayor" was elected.

Didn't slow Slaine down much though, did it? (unfortunately).  I briefly considered Logan, but then realised we'd all be on KP or worse. Inna final analysis, and as in real life, I think the post should be held by He Who Has the Most (2000AD) Toys.  And we all know who that is.  

Accusations of contributing huge sums to Tharg's coffers should be investigated before the inauguration, but I'm sure he still has the receipts.

I see where you're going with this TB, but let me just point out now that there's no chance in hell that I'm doing any early morning PT or eating so called "chicken supreme" from a foil packet.

He has got the most toys though.

QuoteWhat about a coalition mayorship of Millhouse and Spawn?

How many times do I have to explain this?

Spawn - Grant Morrison
Millhouse - Mark Millar

They are preparing to enslave us all with by releasing the Anti-Thrill equation in Oxford so it's pointless electing them since they'll be in charge anyway sooner or later.

The great Wagner has shown us how this would pan out. We'd elect a really likeable mayor who would appear to do good. However, when his term of office begins, certain boarders will start meeting mysterious ends. First Jim, then Grennie, more and more until Logan steams in and unmasks the mayor as none other than Scojo, notorious messageboard serial killer!

It could be voted on memorabilia owned in general not just tooth.
Just out of interest, not related mind, I do have all my starwars 3 3/4" collection logged photographically. Yet to do the 12", my sons galactic hero's, novels, GN's etc...........(yawn).

I don't care who it is, just as long as they aren't Protestant.

lol! but who Scojo?

great idea

I agree with Thrylseeker as mentioned up top

so cermonal only sort of role,

HRH TROUT would get my vote,
but several others seem to have far to much time on their hands also.

whos name is in the ring at this point anyway. ,

So far...

Godpleton ( declined nomination)
Byron Ambrose
King Trout
Jim Campbell
Dave
Thryllseeker
Millhouse/Spawn (jobshare)

Votes in by Thursday 9th April 12 noon

I'd suggest Grant Goggans cos I like this Blog (does Paul Rainey come here under some name or other?) and he pointed me in the direction of a website will all the Johnny Red strips on it.

As we all know electrons should be won by personal favour rather than a sense of who will bring the greater good!

I've got to say that I'm a shocking omission from that list. Let's look at the evidence:

Northern hemisphere letter writing champion
Long time publisher of the strangley unmourned LETTERSENTERTAINYOU
I know a lot about Sean Connery
That time on your hands one
Tolerant of most , had only two all out spaz-fests in 5 years
Have a full run of Progs and Megs (essential for dispute resolution)
Own a medallion which could be used for ceremonial use in an emergency
Have touched Anne Robinson
er...
That's it.

So far...

Godpleton ( declined nomination)
Byron Ambrose
King Trout
Jim Campbell
Dave
Thryllseeker
Millhouse/Spawn (jobshare)
Grant Goggans

oh and I'll nomminee that slum landlord: Buttonman

Votes in by Thursday 9th April 12 noon

Just because I'm above your spazzy election doesn't mean I won't accept the nomination.

Is it a secret ballot? If so I vote for [spoiler:kjw03nem]pubes! arses! spoiled ballot![/spoiler:kjw03nem]

The voting should be done on a separate thread.

your not mayor yet, bossyboots

It should go to whoever bears the closest resemblance to an orangutan. And you have to be willing to change username to 'Mayor Dave the Orangutan II'

But as should be the way in these things, anyone actually expressing a desire to be Mayor should be fed to Mek-Quake, feet first.

Viva La Revulsion.

I envy no-one being the Shepherd, of this Nerd Farm.

Herding the dusky nerds to and fro.pfft.

Whoever said this was a democracy? We have a king, I say let his awesomeness HRH King Trout select a mayor, if one be needed!

(And may I say how handsome you're looking today, your Troutiness, sir!)

The board should definitely have mayo. With frites.

"AH AYUM THE MAYOR OF ALBAKERKY".

QuoteWe can't make TS mayor, he'd have to be ritually disembowelled with a space spinner once his term was up and the next "Horned Mayor" was elected.
 

I agree!

Nice of you all to remember me here, I guess.

Regarding the end of month reign, what happens.

( READ MY NEW SIG MESSAGE ( Below.)

Serisously, would it be wise to vote for foreigner like me. Despite one thing and the fact that I really broke at the moment.

I would stil be intetrested running for Mayor/Provost/Sun King/Horned God.

I don't have all the toys, but I have some of them and abit of "Star Wars" and "Masters of the Universe."

Can anybody remember the final scene from Predator Two?.

As hustings performances go, TS, that was a classic.  You've got my vote!  'What Would Slaine Do?' is a great campaign slogan, and a fine manifesto to boot.

Yuh Sah, are ah  FRAHD. Ah huv been lookin' in the lokhal papuhs and huv seen no menshiun of yah, yah hornswagglin' no-count varmit.

I nominate Petey Wolf, 'cause he's kinda mental but follows his own inexorable logic. Just like this thread.

i could be mayor
i have the spelling skills of the current MC1 mayor, what further proof do you need.
plus my locatoin puts me above suspicion when certain members of the board come to unexpected ends. PERFECT.

as with all great  political ambitions though i wish to say I HAVE NO INTERST IN SEEKING OFFICE,
but really i just like being a cit here.
the idea is fun though.

every election has or should have a token independent candidate who has no chance of winning.

Quote from: "peterwolf"every election has or should have a token independent candidate who has no chance of winning.

when i was last looking at the UK for politics the conservative party tried that.but JOHN MAJOR actaully got elected,

surely the idea was at the time, to let someone else win,they take the blame for the state of the country and then step back up again four years later.

STEEV you interested in being mayor?

Oh this is good.........but





 our elected official should be a JUDGE and not a Mayor.

TROUT IS OUR KING!

DD for Mayor!

QuoteIf we need a Mayor, it has to be Dave. End of.

Aw thanks for the thumbs u...oh you mean the bloody monkey do you?

...in your best Mayor Quimby voice...

One score and twelve years ago, a band of cold, hungry, dispossessed creators massaged that magnificent organ we all know and love into uncertain life. Their path was a hard one, beset on all sides by wars, sharks, footballers, love-lorn teenage girls, menacing children with smiling black dogs, superhumans in unlikely costumes and pornography. Yet they did not weaken nor turn aside from their purpose and, despite the daunting odds ranged against them, thrilled us week after week, month after month, year after year and decade after decade. Salute those brave Founding Fathers, my friends, salute their words and their pictures and their creations. Salute them, I say, for this world is in need not only of heroes and thrills-a-plenty but also in need of ideas, entertainment and, above all, hope for a thrill-packed future. Selfelessly, they did labour into the wee smalls of countless long, dark, lonely nights to bring us our weekly fare. Some bled for us, lied for us, stole for us, plagarised and even died for us. So yes, salute them, I say. Salute them all.

We shall defend our Progs, whatever the cost may be, we shall read them on the beaches, we shall read them on the landing grounds, we shall read them in the fields and in the streets, we shall read them in the hills; we shall never unsubscribe. Never, in the field of human creativity, have so many been thrilled by so few.

Yet in modern times the existence of British comics is in jeopardy as never before and this message board is all that stands between the dark, fathomless depths of a world without 2000AD and the bright, sunlit uplands of a Betelgeusian-inspired future. We few, we raddled few, we band of blatherers made weak by time and fate but strong in will do avow to seek, to strive, to find and to read all the progs we can and not, my friends, to yield. Here, in this place, we choose to draw a line against the night, to say subscriber numbers have fallen enough and to stand firm, to say "this low, and no lower," to champion our organ and to lead it, gleaming and magnificent, into the golden light of popular culture once more.

I can offer you nothing but blood, sweat and tears in this task we have ahead of us but, despite the depravations, humiliations and hard work that we must endure to secure the future of our comic and our board, I have no fears. Can we do this? Drokking right, we can. We can and we must.

And so, my friends, ask not what your board can do for you, ask what you can do for your board.

Vote TLS, you know it makes no sense whatsoever.

My Right Honourable friend appears to be confusing his own campaign message with that of a far superior candidate. I would draw member's attention to the comments Mr Godpleton made not sixty weeks ago in The Other Place, the bare-faced lies of his so-called "Intelligence Dossier" which insisted that the Bunty Forum had Romances of Mass Destruction which could be employed to attack this board in under 45 minutes.

For shame.

have you read any of the previous mayor's Posts? No?  see! thats exactly the kind of wooly thinking that got us into this mess, TS isn't a UK resident nor indeed a EU resident so can't therefore be controlled by THEM!  

I just noticed this thread. I don't exercise my kingly powers much these days, due to a general lack of interest in the human race, but just this once:

i would say the suggestion has merit towards the new mayor
