Attention TVTalkers: Your help is needed!

Unless you're a frequent visitor to the Other Forum, you may be unaware that the first DVDTalk Otter election is currently underway. Our fearless (unofficial) forum leader, das Monkey along with his VP running mate twikoff, are running against two strong tickets.

Your help is needed!





Edit: Voting is now open!! Please vote here

And that last half-hour of this week's 6FU was pretty intense!

Ah HA!

Here I thought das was showing actual concern for me when he asked me where the hell I was...

When, in actuality, he really wanted my swing vote..

Nice try, Primate. Nice try.

btw - two things...

1. Could someone give me the Cliff Notes™ version of what this is all about?

2. Keep in mind I have no idea what it's about...but, if das is the TV Talk nominee, why is his running mate twikoff? Unless it has nothing to do with specific forums?

I'm not voting for das until he writes up the top 100 dramatic episodes of the 2003-2004 TV season.

actually.. originally they broke the forums into several groups and nominated people to represent those groups..

Tech/Twikoff(sports)/Movie/Ind. - i was nominated
TV/Book - das was nominated
happy pappy (adult forum) - thor was nominated
and trigger is running independent

das and I decided it only made sense to combine our efforts. So I tossed my support his way and Im running on the ticket with him.

here are threads 1-4
1. http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=375010 this one introduced the idea

2. http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=375420 this one did nominations and such

3. http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=375630 the primaries

and the current thread
4. http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=376022 The conventions


the debates will be next.. Sun or Mon

the vote is Tuesday

As a mod, I'm supposed to be impartial... so I just won't tell anyone I'm voting for you guys.

Is it possible to make an absentee vote? I won't be around a computer on Tuesday.

mods/admins have the ability to adjust vote numbers
you would just have to tell one mod/admin who you want to vote for.. and have them add that in..

right?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE.

Today at the Starfleet Headquarters, the following statement was released by ravan :

"This election is a tough call for me. I am only here rarely these days and Thor has been a great great inspiration and even sent me a cracker (and a quarter) once!

How ever the cracker was crumbled.. I dont think that lived up to Thor's own high standards. If the cracker can crumble, will Thor too?

I have to support ticket that represents my firm beliefs that vampires must be slayed and that we DO need a space station as the last, best hope for mankind! (note to self, dont go on the first 4 attempts, hold out for number 5).

Hereby I throw my support and not inconsiderate financial backing behind the Monkey/Wikoff ticket!

Raise the taxes - I dont care, but get quality TV back on the air! "

Thats all.
