This thread is for asking the candidates for LMB leader any questions relevant to making up your mind whom to vote for. See the Official Rules Thread for details on the election.

This debate is largely a free for all, and posters should feel free to ask either general questions directed to every candidate or ones directed to more specific candidates. Candidates may respond to one another's points, and may ask one another questions as well.

Oops I threw my top er hat into the ring of the wrong thread. Perhaps a Rich Daddy Figure can clean up the mess.

1 Waffles are good any time of day. Especially with strawberries and whipped cream.

2 Waffling is something I tolerate only in my weak willed boyfriend. My opponents should be wary not to waffle, cuz that's ground for a smacking.

Waffles? What are waffles?

I apologize, Ms. Cramer, but I still have a lot to learn about being human.

Are waffles small creatures of some sort? And would "waffling" refer to hunting said creatures?

Oh, my! I am quite opposed to hunting for sport!

Does that answer your questions?!?!

Candidates, what would be your opinion of the LMB's next recruit being a hero whose power is causing weird effects by bouncing his pectoral muscles? Think a pec-flexing Tyroc-type Good idea? Bad idea? Somewhere in between?

In general I am against such deus ex machina type powers, though I might be persuaded to make an exception. I would need to examine the pulsing pecs in question privately before making a judgment.

Waffling is fun, especially when you do it to the young uns and they get all, like, "hurry up" and stuff.

1) I don’t see why we should force people to choose. I suggest they can have both if they want as often as they want and be able to change between pie and cake as often as they want.

2) Yummy. A good rabbit stew is the food of the gods. Putting a pancake there means you get desert as well.

3) Who is Britney Spears, is she one of the Berkshire Spears? Should one have seen her during the season?

4) We should do all we can to encourage Pov to get out more and if he wants to use the subway then he should.

5) As you are a fine fellow with impeccable taste I would never dream of attempting to influence your choice of Avatars. Whatever you choose will, I am sure be noble upstanding and decent.

2) You describe a crepe I had once, the fillets were served raw. It was not nice tasted quite earthy.
3) Irresponsible people shouldn't have babies. Though I encourage them to have fun before they are crushed by their responsibilities.
4) Are they hot or do they have spindly chicken legs? While I have no business telling people what to wear I would suggest to participants that a little vanity makes the world more aesthetically pleasing.
5) Again I have no preference on members avatars might I suggest a silver age classic.

1) Gosh! I'm only a year old, and you want me to answer the most important question facing mankind? Sure! The answer is cheescake--the best of both worlds!

2) As long as they aren't used to trap poor, helples waffles for hunting, I have no problem with this.

3) Who or what is a "Britney Spears"?

4) If there's no law prohibiting pantslessness on the subway, I have no issue with this. Otherwise, I am a law-abiding sentient.

5) It would do my heart well to see you use one of father's old avatars in tribute. I miss him dearly. But only do so if you fancy the idea.

Voting is important and declining voter turnout is a symptom of systemic malaise. My campaign is really designed to improve turnout amongst the youths by appealing to their sensibilities.

I encourage all the MMB gals who want my life of partying, shopping and laying a beating on bad guys to come out to vote for me. I also wanna tell all the MMB boys that wanna get with me to come out and vote. I love you all and will work for you non-stop if elected.

I've been a fair share of foreign entanglements while traveling on business myself. While it's always better to choose situations you can maintain control in, sometimes things get out of hand. Usually these cases can be settled with large yet discrete gratuities to the hotel housekeeping staff and the concierge desk.

If elected I will have Cobie er all LMBers itemize these gratuities on expense reports so that we can track and train to reduce these entanglements in the future.

As for large scale military entanglements, I'm running against the war industries. Though I'm not a pacifist I'd prefer to Make Merry and Not War.

Rocky, I suggest using holosimulation to frost your tail-feathers and deciding for yourself. I use it all the time and ask my hapless boyfriends after anyway because I enjoy seeing them twist in the wind.

I accuse my opponents of being pwned by the special interest groups who are keeping us down.

For instance Clive over there was once a robot who was taken over for malicious purposes. Remember the destruction from that incident. I think my toe still hurts from all the buttkicking I had to do.

Faraway is in some anachronistic historical troupe. Who's to say they don't have it in for us. I've no need to wear those heavy uncomfortable dresses and those corsets.

And you can only imagine what Mayavale's involved in.

I demand that my opponents come clean about their records and the contributors to their campaigns and their true agendas for their upcoming terms.

Yes, Nova...and I gave full disclosure on this over at my campaign HQ. It was a regrettable time in my young life, but I learned much from it and am dedicated to do anything I can to protect Legion World from any future threats to its safety.

By the way, physician--heal thyself! Your association with Tamper Lad hardly earns you a position on the moral high ground. At least my transgressions were unwilling. How can you justify associating and oing business with Legion World's most notoriously self-interested and legally-gray citizen?

His bumbling misadventures made Daddy an asteroid full of money? Also because I'm independently wealthy, my relationships are free of considerations of personal gain for myself. Tamper isn't wealthy which explains his constant self-interest and he does provide many products and services at reasonable rated.

I have never participated in any illegal business activity with any entity.

I'll pose the same question I asked Nova Girl to all candidates: What is your position on the LMB aiding the UP, our strongest ally, in their war with the Khanate of Sol Invictus and in the ongoing incursions on UP space by the Dark Oval, exemplified by their recent forced annexation of Epsilon Sector?
 
Posted by Nova Girl on :
 
We ally with foreign powers based on shared values such as the Freedom to choose what is best for each individual sentient, so long as that choice does not impinge on the right of their neighbors to have the same choice. This is the most fundamental Freedom.

As for the UP specifically: I know Angus 'Squiddy' MacDonald, the new military liaison officer in the UP office. He and I went to school together and dated briefly. I don't usually date Scots or Molluskoids (let alone Scottish Molluskoids) but I was a bit curious back then and he looked so cute in that slimy blazer, kilt and school-tie.

I'm sure I'll have a great working relationship with him.

Under my leadership, the LMB will stand strong with the UP and aid it in any way we can against those threats. It's my belief that if we don't take a stronger stand against the Khanate and the Oval's agressive incursions, there may be no UP, and indeed no Legion World, left to defend.

2. Might I humbly suggest that voters be wary of media commentators who utilize such loaded terms as "waffling" and try to stigmatize candidates by tossing them around? For example, one might have spent one lifetime in pursuit of the murder and destruction of all that is wholesome and innocent in the universe, and then spent one's next lifetime promoting the well-being of all sentients. To some, this may seem like a lack of commitment to a cause or ability to keep goals in focus. But I submit that such a change may simply be a healthy attempt to keep the karmic scales in balance, and voters should celebrate mutability rather than condemning it.

1. Mayavale prefers cake. Particularly pancakes.

2. Once the great teacher Molkata was hungry for pancakes. He asked his student Holka to make him some. After said pancakes were served to Molkata, he placed them on the head of a bunny. Holka, confused, asked him why he did this. Molkata replied that there is much in the universe that does not admit of explanation, but we should always be willing to take amusement in the randomness of it all.

Though Mayavale would generally prefer eating pancakes to placing them on the head of bunnies.

3. Mayavale has a theory about Miss Spears. In my time as a traveler along many spiritual paths, I have seen some who have been severely hampered in their quest by improper use of chemical aids. While the wheeling mists, for example, can be a great help in achieving transendental enlightenment, those who attempt to inhale them without proper guidance often shows signs of erratic behavior much like that of Miss Spears. I suggest that she would be best to reject the responsibilities of family and public life, and spend the next decade in meditation under the guidance of a genuine spiritual instructor such as myself.

4. Mayavale has little opinion on this matter, though he notes that he often goes pantsless in his own intergalactic trolleycar.

5. I would suggest this avatar:

Although he is hardly hot, I would vote for Mayavale because his soup is so excellent. Also because I've been meditating on this subject.

I would suggest a member of the Libertarian-Hedonism Party Run. Preferably she would also share by religious views on the Beta-Lactam Liberation from the cruel Darwinian Struggle and the consequential Freedom and Responsibility of Sentient Species.

I would definitely urge caution in any consideration of intervening in foreign affairs by the LMB. One has to remember that part of the reason for the U.P.'s current problems with the Khanate is that they themselves have been interfering in the internal affairs of Sol Invictus for decades. It wasn't too long ago that the leaders of the U.P. were supporting the Khan himself in his attempts to hold onto power.

Similarly, I believe that we ourselves are responsible for many of the problems with the Dark Oval. The more we treat them as "enemies", the more we encourage their aggressive tendencies. One of Mayavale's first actions as LMB leader will be to reach out three hands of friendship to the leaders of the Dark Oval.

(Mayavale plans on carrying a "big stick" in the fourth hand. Mayavale is idealistic, but not completely dumb.)

As Mayavale is running and does intend to vote for himself, and for that matter to win the election, he does not see the point in such a hypothetical case.

I have to admit, however, that CJ Taylor would make an excellent candidate.

My dear the ladies inform me that those dresses are not uncomfortable, and whilst I am sure that you have no need to wear a corset, in fact in the Georgian period corsets as such were not worn. The fashion amongst Ladies was of course for Empire line dresses al la Pride and Prejudice etc. The lower orders did wear stays, but these were not boned and, as modern Bras etc had not yet been invented, were a comfortable way to hold things in and together so to speak.
As for having it in for you, who exactly is “us” and what are you hiding from the electorate that worries you enough to want to keep the forces of his legitimate Majesty at bay.

I am in principal opposed to any formal military alliances with any body. I see the role of the LMBP as one of keeping the peace where needed and where asked (after all we can’t party if there’s a ruckus going on somewhere can we). However, I fully support individuals with the LMBP undertaking humanitarian aid where they see a need.

Nova Girl would make, as indeed would all the candidates, an excellent leader. Feisty fun and fiery with a drive to succeed and the ability to make decisions, it would be a pleasure to serve under her.

In terms of those who should be running I second the right honourable gentleman’s suggestion that the Noble Prince from Planet Hyustyn would be a strong candidate in any upcoming election.

Boy? Boy? Where's my stylist boy? It's time to get me ready for the election and he's no where to be seen. Also call the service tell them to send my date over to the HQ.

Oddly enough, while researching our Constitution recently, I discovered a little-known Prohibition law forbidding the use of alcohol and recreational drugs. I'm afraid if we began enforcing that one, we'd have to turn Legion world into a prison planet! [Smile]

Candidates,

Now that I have voted, have you lost interest in me? Do you still respect me?

Of course I do. You're a voter, not one of those dumb surfer boys I meet up in the ionosphere when I'm riding the surf re-entering Legion World's atmosphere.

Those silly boys are so sensitive. "Heard all about you 'Ronnie. Will you still love me tomorrow 'Ronnie?"

Like Duh Duuuude, Puleeeze I'm pretty sure I don't love you now. I just wanna pwn you and your rear end for a few hours. I'm pretty sure I could only love a boy with more than half a brain.

You have always had my respect Quis and always will. Knowing you as a person and not just a voter has been a real pleasure.

My door is always open, pop in anytime for a chat.
