I think I'd like to be a senator.

Is that possible?

[Toa Onarax]

I'm just hoping to remain on the Military.

[Burnmad: Toa of Emoticons]

Alright, I'll make Portalfig senator if he gives me a comms device.

As for the murder, I was accused along with nine or 10 other people. And I'm pretty sure I was ruled out as one of the least likely, although I could be wrong. Can someone go check that for me?

I would like to run for Senator.

I tried.

WESTARHK
STATUS: Hostile
OFFICIAL NEWS: "Our Leader, Atalin, calls upon President Burnmad to finally put a stop on aid to criminals in Soso Nui, by pushing for the criminalization of donations to Soso Nui and by cutting off trade between the nations, especially ending the import of Soson illegally produced communication devices.

[PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS]
Though only two three (edit) four candidates, Burnmad, Tyler, JiMing (Belonephobia), and Lhikevikk have expressed interest in running so far, you may vote for anyone, including yourself. In 48 hours the citizen with the most votes will win! Remember, once cast, a vote is final, and the post containing it should not be edited.

Current tally:
(To be updated.)

Tyler Durden: III
Burnmad: Toa of Emoticons: II

Edited by Toarobot18, Apr 18 2012 - 09:06 PM.

[JiMing]

Maybe I could be president?

Though I probably won't get elected, because I have no status in the government right now. Oh well. Vote for the businessmatoran who supplies you guys with food if you are bored and don't want to spend time actually thinking about who to vote for.

Though my vote goes to Tyler. Time to mix things up in my opinion.

[Portalfig]

I vote Burnmad.

And I will supply him with the comms device he needs.

Weeeee

[Burnmad: Toa of Emoticons]

I vote myself.

As for my status on the war, I personally support Soso Nui if we're just gonna let them blow each other to pieces. I would much rather stop the war, however. How people run their own countries is their problem, not Atalin's.

[JL v2]

Ok, yeah.

Urrh......

Voting for Tyler Durden.

[-Toa Lhikevikk-]

I would express my intention to run. I'll be a very good overlord President, I promise!

[Toarobot18]

From the BZ Nui Live Report:

"Horrific Crime: Poor Matoran's Last Widgets Taken
The BZ Nui Live Report has learned that all of Thelonewander's measly savings, six widgets, were recently stolen from him. The criminal broke into Thelonewander's home, taking every widget he could lay his hands on. Sadly, though six widgets might not seem like much of a catch for the heartless thief, it was all Thelonewander had. There were no witnesses, and the criminal remains on the loose."

[Zakar0%]

I would like to buy a basic coms. device from Thelonewanderer, as well as donate 10 widgets to said businessmatoran.
Zakaro

[JiMing]

I will buy Brightpaw's weapon for 25 widgets, and give her an additional 20 for product development.

[JL v2]

Brightpaw made a weapons business?

I shall buy 1. And then donate 6 widgets to thelonewander.

[Toarobot18]

Zakaro: purchase/widget transfer processed.

JiMing, JL1223 X: Brightpaw does not have automated sales,

Jl1223 X: widget transfer processed.

[JiMing]

Then I'll take an Enhanced Disk Launcher Type 038.

I really don't want anything stolen from me.

[Toarobot18]

Processed.

The election ends in about three hours. If it remains a tie, then another election is held, but only between those two winning candidates (although that might not change much, since only two citizens have received votes at all).

[Brightpaw]

I'll sell a gun to JI1223X and make another gun. Belonephobia- are you still donating the 20 widgets for research? I'd really appreciate it.

I investigated the robbery! Unfortunately it failed.

[Toarobot18]

Jl1223 X/Brightpaw: at what price are you buying/selling the gun?

[JiMing]

I'll still donate for research and development.

I was willing to buy it for 25 widgets.

(Also, the name's JiMing)

[JL v2]

30$.

Also, what are the current statistics of the election?

Edited by Jl1223 X, Apr 18 2012 - 08:22 PM.

[Toarobot18]

The post where I announced the election, no. 445 (quarter-way down the page), contains the current tally. Burnmad and Tyler each have two votes.

[Brightpaw]

30 widgets is fine. I vote for... erm... Tyler...

Thanks for the donation! I'd like to do some research.

Is someone still selling food?

Edited by Brightpaw, Apr 18 2012 - 09:13 PM.

[Toarobot18]

Brightpaw, remember not to edit voting posts.

The JiMing widget transfer and Jl1223 X weapon purchase are processed.

Now Tyler has pulled into the lead, with a little over an hour left to go in the election.

[Burnmad: Toa of Emoticons]

Oh dear, I better start recruiting people. I've essentially lost the election and have naught but 8 widgets to my name.

[JiMing]

Is someone still selling food?

I'm a food businessmatoran.

The only source of food, too.

[Toarobot18]

Brightpaw, despite your best efforts (and a 35 widget investment), your research produces no new products this time around.

EDIT: Just a quick rules update. When new senators are elected or appointed, they will take the place of the outgoing senators that were elected or appointed at that period in the previous Determining Positions process. For example, since Tyler Durden and iBrow were elected by the military members, the new senators elected by military members would take their place. This probably won't come into play much, but should the senate need to pass legislation during the Determining Positions process, the composition of the senate at that particular point of the process would matter.

EDIT 2:

Tyler Durden is the new president of BZ Nui!

Congratulations! Now you need to choose (as soon as possible) five citizens to be military members, and designate one as their leader.

Edited by Toarobot18, Apr 18 2012 - 10:37 PM.

[JL v2]

Still running for Senator, but if Tyler wants me as a military member, perfectly fine. I would also like to help stop that darn war.

[-Toa Lhikevikk-]

Snap, I forgot to vote for myself in time. Next election, I guess. >_<

...I mean, I AM named after a U.S. President...

[Brightpaw]

Toarobot, you said in the rules that research costs 30 widgets. I also said I wanted to make a new gun right after I sold the one. So I had 2... plus 30 for selling the gun, 32, made another gun, 12, got the 20 for research, researched, so I should have 2 again.

[Zakar0%]

I'm gonna run for senator.
I believe that though the senators from the last 2 months did their job.. that we need more laws. If I'm elected, I will put up more bills, such as government job paychecks and small taxes. I'm looking to help SoSo Nui while remaining peaceful with Westarhk and would like to improve relations with Eastland and Northraxx.
Zakaro

[-Toa Lhikevikk-]

Ooh! Ooh! I'll run for Senator too!

Yes, we definitely need more laws. Government can fix everything.

[Pulsate]

I'll run for senator too, hopefully with disastrous consequences. Those are the best kind of consequences.

[Toarobot18]

Brightpaw, from the Business rules: "Without a communication device, passing legislation costs an extra 2 widgets, product creation an extra 1 widget, and research an extra 5 widgets."

[Burnmad: Toa of Emoticons]

Can I at least get a position as Senator here? I've got quite a bit of legislation that needs to be added, plus I'm one of the few active players.

I got you, buddy.

Anyway. Onarax as military leader, rest to be decided shortly.

Thanks to all who voted for me! Together, I'm positive we can make this country great.

I would like to request that I remain on the military.

Alright, then. All military members are the same as before.

[Toa Onarax]

Thanks for the promotion TD, I promise to only use my abilities for the Good of the Country and with the approval of you, and the rest of the Senate.
