[MatthewZ]

I'd like to nominate myself as an impartial judge for the Delta Quadra as I would not be inclined to be biased towards my own type. I demand I be added to the poll.

[Galen]

How ironic that the Delta quadra is holding a democratic vote

lol no but seriously I voted

If it was democratic then why does the person holding the election get their name on top of the ballot?

It's in order by type+alphabet

Sorry, foreigner, it's hard to take demands seriously when they come from a PoLR.

Everyone knows that PoLR means "tendency to overdo it." I WILL enforce my polite request with overkill firepower.

ACTUALLY I just realized that statistically, either Abbie or Ryu will become the overall Delta leader. Since all the other types have many more name entries, odds are that the votes for other types will be way more spaced out. But in the LSE case, with just you two, either of you are going to recieve the most votes.

That, or you people might see beyond type and not consider it a factor in voting.

But if it works, how about adding an LII to the ballot? =D

[Galen]

OR MAYBE after all the votes have been tallied, only the highest from each type is brought back for the FINAL VOTE, where the leader will be determined.

...you did vote five times, right? I assumed voting for representatives and leader seperately would work out. Either way, I'm satisfied.

But yes, you are right that Abbie has this election set up for a near-certain victory if everyone follows the rules.

[Galen]

I did vote five times, but either way ESTj is bound to come out on top. If there are 10 people who vote, there are gonna be at least 10 votes divided up between you and Ryu, and 10/2=5, which would be the average number of votes between the two of you. But with 15 ENFps, that makes an average vote no. of 10/15 = .666.

Not necessarily. The ESTj vote could be split where there is a highly outstanding EII candidate that gets more than half of the EII vote.

Iunno, I still think the best idea is to hold a second vote after these, consisting only of the four representatives of each type (plus the wildcard?) in order to determine our leader.

[Lobo]

Where's Cyrano in the list? I would vote for him in the SLI category.

[DirectorAbbie]

Where's Cyrano in the list? I would vote for him in the SLI category.

I went with the census (minus the LII). He didn't vote on it. You may do a write-in vote if you wish.

Where are the SLIs, -

Jessica, WP, and Ollo?

None of you filled out the Delta Census, so none of you exist

sorry, better luck in the next 10 years

[Lobo]

Lobo! Where have you been?

Yep, I have been away for a while... got busy with other things. This place doesn't seem to have changed that much since I was away.

What?! The terms last 10 years?! You guys are pulling an Hugo Chavez.

That's when the next Census is!

Unless you can find another way to get your name on the ballot sooner.

Oh ok, you're right. Wasn't reading carefully. Btw, I still think tereg is IEE...

[Brilliand]

Reset? Alpha Quadra did that several times in the Good Old Days... if I remember correctly, we had one poll that had to be recreated twice due to errors. Just make the thing again, and do it right this time! (Maybe have a thread about how to do it right first. )

Ay! We're SLIs, we don't participate. We deserve special dispensation. It's a handicap.

[Galen]

Look, I understand that you people are lazy, but rules is rules is rules.

[Cyrano]

Look, I understand that you people are lazy, but rules is rules is rules.

Yes. We are famous for rules.

Go ahead then. Name your Deltan puppet King.

We shall make our own.

She shall Be Jessica of the Force.

Queen of the Misfit Toys.

She shall rule the IEEs and the SLIs. Our land and our women shall be fertile.

IEEs are not ones to be ruled. We require all the freedom we are physically and symbolically capable of possessing. We are a proud people and we will NOT BE SUBJUGATED UNDER INTROVERT RULE.

[Cyrano]

As it should be. We are alike that way. Neither to be ruled, like two moons caught by each other's gravity, struggling to escape. The IEE, the larger partner, the SLI its faster twin, spinning as a duet, each its course bound by the other, profoundly effected.

Why would the moons struggle to escape when they are perfectly contented with the course they've found themselves in? I imagine the ultimate goal would be to collide with one another and burst into billions of pieces, debris from each respective host intermingling with one another, then after a course of billions of years the particles settle and form a new body, free to drift through the sea of space for all eternity as a single entity.

That's too complex and idealistic. Some of us simply prefer sex.

That is the difference. The SLI seeks escape and solitude. Neither senerio works.

okay i'm down for that too

[Park]

Neither cyranio works.

You misspelled that word.

[Galen]

You misspelled that word.

i love you

[Marie84]

wow, thank you to whoever the two people who voted for me are, I wasn't expecting any

Anywho, I really don't like the idea of "Delta leaders" or hierarchies, for that matter

[Creepy-Cyclops]

This is the most ridiculous thing ever imo, no one represents me, I represent myself.

OK, let's say we were to use your list, jewels isn't there and somavision - aka the penetrator is there as an IEE , not to mention some others, geee... ESTj's and "organisation", lol....

Also, for instance Tereg who typed as IEE was used as some sort of benchmark, which turned out to be false as he's changed his type since then, I suppose I can't see any relevance to the list no matter how I look at it.

Unless it's for fun? lol, i'm a party pooper then hehe
