Video: Election Results

[runs_on_batteries]

[ooc: Sorry this was supposed to go up yesterday.]

Please welcome with me our new council! We had a three way tie for our last two spots, so we're going to have twelve members.

These individuals are: Bucky, Curufin, Eva, Feanor, Kaiba, Nerdanel, Nita, Sarai, Yuffie, Ignis, The Doctor, and myself.

Congratulations and we'll have to come up with a good time for our first meeting soon.

And still no representation for the youngest here on the train. How unfortunate.

[Says the 681 year old.]

[runs_on_batteries]

Yep, what a shame.

[He obviously couldn't give a rip.]

[laurefindil]

[Glorfindel looks at the names on the list] Honestly, I think Tony IS the representative of the "younger" people.

[usernamesarecool]

Oh. Really?

Alright then. I'll uh... prepare some talking points I've been meaning to address I suppose.

[ A beat ]

And to all those on the train-I've an open door policy. Anything you need, please come talk to me, I look forward to all our future visits!

Congrats to everyone!

Now no one can say this isn't a democracy.

[ Is he throwing shade? He's probably throwing shade. ]

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Only proof that the whole idea is stupid.

[Sure, he shouldn't rise to the bait, but...]

[dredefulchilde]

[Joss has been watching all of this with morbid fascination.]

Shall we have another election, then? All in favor of throwing the ninja out into Voidspace, perhaps?

[blue_ice]

[ He's surprised for only a moment before his expression slips into his usual cool indifference. ]

Thank you all. I'm also open to hearing out any concerns, and I'll be pushing to be as transparent with you as possible.

And I'd like to offer to my colleagues, as well as to everyone on board, a standing offer of game night. I'll play any game in the car from any challenger. I find it's an excellent activity for getting to know each other...but be warned that I don't plan to lose.

[hashtagparkerluck]

....

[ ... ]

Any game?

[sizedoesntmatter]

So does that mean I'm not allowed to play?

[He is 100% joking.]

But congrats Kaiba~

[mayp]

Good job, Tony. You deserve it.

[runs_on_batteries]

Thank you

[mtsilver_conquor]

I'm flattered.

But, I'd rather give my spot to someone from the younger age group that's not represented.

[She's happy being a team leader...]

[hashtagparkerluck]

Ah, Come on Eva. You'd be so good at it!

Congratulations to all, then! :)

[Several of those Webmind nominated are on this list, he notes - good people, all.]

What do you expect you'll end up doing to break any hypothetical vote-ties in the future, though?

[These are the important questions.]

Re: [Text]

[runs_on_batteries]

Jenga battles, winner takes all.

[Webmind doesn't see it but he's grinning.]

We'll just have to work it out somehow.

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita starts this out smiling:]

Congratula- !

[And then breaks herself off, expression shifting to one of disbelief.]

Wait, really?

[Someone tell her to stop devaluing herself, please.]

[flatteries]

[ That's Inigo's job description! ]

Congratulations, Nita! You're my favourite council member, don't tell the others!

[marriedanidiot]

Me? Oh my... thank you, everyone. I was not expecting that!

[maxwellsdaemon]

Totally saw that coming!

[More thumbs up from Duo]

[so_dark_a_road]

I'm on the Council? Damn, thought people would be scared off by my speech. [ He grins elatedly and tosses his hat in the air. ]

[pleple]

Sensible. Versatile. What's not to like?

[faithfulson]

Congratulations to everyone, and best of luck to you all.

[ He... may be a little relieved. Maybe. ]

[runs_on_batteries]

If anyone leaves.. guess who's on deck.

[faithfulsupport]

Congratulations to all of the members of the newly elected council.

[shockinglycaffeinated]

Congratulations all of you.

[mynameisallen]

Well done to this who got voted.

Though I assume this was the first time this vote was done correct? [Considering he is used to this kind of system he understood how it worked, but he could also see where it could see some improvement too.

But he also could resist adding something.]

I know that there will probably have been flaws in this type of thing to and that someone seems to be bitchy about it, but 1) Royal families aren't so great either. Take it from someone who was in a world where they were kidnapped and surprisingly while we had to look for them someone who was voted had to work harder. Odd, how someone has to work hard and be passionate about something and was voted rather than having it handed to them.

2) There are always flaws in this type of thing as well. I did agree that it is sometimes a popularity contest, but if people didn't want to do it they also have the choice to back out and say no. They don't because they have the passion to want to try and help, which is the point of it.

I think I might have rambled more than I expected. Sorry about that and sorry if it sounds harsh, but at the same time no system is perfect either. You just figure out where there could be an improvement for next time.

[runs_on_batteries]

Well said.

This is actually the second election. The first was shortly after the second platform full of people were picked up. It was long overdo for a new one and the majority of the passengers, this is a first.

Late but I slowly do stuff!!!

[thegreatninja]

Sweet! I'm in! This is going to be awesome.

We're gonna meet and stuff right?

Re: Late but I slowly do stuff!!!

[runs_on_batteries]

Definitely. Glad to have you aboard, Yuffie.
