And Here We Go: Presidential Election Day 2012
Posted: Mon Nov 05, 2012 10:24 pm
Yes, I know there's thread on this. Since we are now within election day itself, this thread is for all things for this day including returns, polls, and calls.
A couple of things before we get started:
The rules are still in force: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=183223
The previous threads are here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=200277 and viewtopic.php?f=20&t=185075
The election prediction thread (Which is now locked to prevent changes) is here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=205581
Races other than the presidential election are here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=206668
ASB's poll thread is here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=176788
A note about gloating and sore losership. Yes, at the end of the day, some people are going to be happy and some not so happy. Those happy people are going to want to celebrate. This is fine. Stating "Yay! My person won! Surely the world will be rainbows and kittens!" is acceptable. Stating "Yay! My person won! Surely the world will be rainbows and kittens! Oh, and (opposite party here) suck it!" is gloating and will bring BAD THINGS*.
The same for those who are NOT happy with how things turned out. Stating "Boo! I can't believe he won! The world's gonna go to hell! I'm moving to Canada! (I have no idea why Canada, must be the Canadian bacon)" is ok. Stating "Boo! I can't believe he won! The world's gonna go to hell! I'm moving to Canada! You guys are all morons for voting for him!" is not and will bring BAD THINGS.
Either way, please try to keep things somewhat civil, if you feel someone is violating the rules, PLEASE report this in Moderation for us to deal with. I offer no prediction either way except noting that no matter who wins, the government and banks will be closed and troops will be marching in the streets in less than a week!
And now, as Kryo will undoubtedly want to turn me into bacon for mentioning Canadian bacon, I must depart... quite rapidly.
*Said bad things may include, warnings, bans, and waking up in an elementary school in Japan with a sign that reads 'I like play kancho' and a target painted on your bum.
