But think of it this way if we diversify our bases of operations it will make it harder for any threat to totally destroy us
low citrus
I guess, but it still means we'd be vulnerable on some level.
Besides, the main focus is that we will have 50 shipping containers to modify however we want, including the one we already have. And the ability to commit piracy on the open seas.
All this, only if you vote for me.

Gang, I have some good news and some bad news.
Good news is Discord has added polls from what I've seen, though it might just be in select servers for beta testing.
Bad news is we most certainly will not have access to these as common memebers.
Worse still is we can't retreat to a different server as that'll loose us most of the people who would vote.
solid nacelle
Would a Google Form maybe work with all of the candidates for voting?
solid nacelle
Maybe everyone has to put in discord usernames at the top of the poll? So after voting is closed, we delegate the ballots and rule out potential double votes
rustic stone
Maybe but what's stopping someone from just using random discord peeps names to vote
We could maybe do a vote with emotes
like 🔵 reps a person and 🔴 reps another and people emote on the message
silk mango
I was planning on using strawpolls for the vote but if you have somthing else im willing to listen

That would be good. There are seven candidates ATM so maybe every candidate could get a different emoji

I object to any locally run system.
They could rig it in their favour
Basically make sure its third party
silk mango
The only truly objective party would be RT himself
solid nacelle
Well, there is a way to limit Google forms to one per person.
To limit responses in Google Forms, open the form that you want to limit responses for, click on the Settings tab, scroll down to the Responses section, and under Limit Responses, select the option that you want to use. If you are setting a maximum number of responses, enter the number of responses that you want to allow. Then, click Save. Once you have limited responses in your form, users will not be able to submit additional responses once the limit has been reached.
supple gazelle
can i vote for obama?
rustic stone
That's why I think the emote voting system would be the best
People would only have one vote and it can be easily determined if someone voted for more than one party
and bots wouldn't really be an issue as voting would be locked to those on this server
solid nacelle
Would it be possible to create another forum just for voting on Sunday? So everyone can put their vote in and it’s easy to tally later?
rustic stone
Well if we use emotes we could just view reactions to see who voted to which thing
modest lantern
I'd also move to bar any account joining after today from voting, to prevent use of sockpuppet accounts and the like.

Well, there is a way to limit Google forms to one per person.
the same can be done on strawpoll, google works off email (and possibly also IP?), strawpoll works off IP

We're certainly avoiding US style two parties only logic, that's for sure
sharp fractal
here's an idea, to be included in the final count, you need to have a certain amount of nominations from other people, who can't run themselves
say 3 other people
you can only nominate one person
that means that at most only 25% of people intending to vote, are running as candidates
you could drop to 2 others to raise that to 33%, or raise to 4 to drop that to 20% etc.

I am not roleplaying, I am making fun of myself

I guess its not because we're not assuming characters really. The von Karma voice is part of the bit

Now, when someone does get elected, that would be roleplaying. Because they're playing a role.

just gotta make sure whoever does get elected isnt the sort to begin blending the role with reality
alternatively the candidate who comes out on top plays the role extremely well to the point its convincing, that works too

putting a \ before the hashtag stops the channel list from popping up, its one such use case of the \ character
another would be @s
It cannot, however, stop discord from thinking you're trying to use headings, despite it being in the middle of a line.
