2007 Muppet Presidential Election begins

[Fozzie Bear]

By Dwayne1115

Well i have been watching alot of news as of late and i think a neat kind of game would be "The Next Muppet President Campain 2008" with all the plotices going on i think it would be neat to see some muppet mud slinging in all clean fun. i want to see what people think before i start this though.

And I suggested this as an addendum:

We need 3 main players to do role playing basically for the three unnamed Muppet Politicians. Basically, the 3 main players will be picked from those who PM why they themselves would be a good politician. I'll have my buddy Lin choose the 3 players and 3 characters.

Those 3 players will be assigned certain Muppet characters, who will later be listed in the polls to be voted for by MC members. In the meantime, Dwayne1115 will be the Game Host, asking the "Muppets" questions (non-serious, obviously nothing controversial) as if in a debate. All the "Muppets" will be given a chance to answer the question before the next question is asked, thus trying to convince why they (ie, the Muppet Character) would be the best President!

And, at Kimp's suggestion here's the game thread.

I will accept several PMs to be submitted for Lin's approval and will edit this when I am no longer accepting those PMs.

This lends itself open to a good, long game of fun and mirth. I will close the game, however, if it gets out of hand and serious or not within Muppet Central's family-fun atmosphere.

The election committee has convened and the ballots for Muppety President are as follows. An important note ends this post for two of the characters that have been chosen need an exception to role-playing rules. Keep in mind that the campaign is for Muppet President, the MC member is the running mate, and all posts must be made in the character which he/she is to represent.

Here's what we'll do (more rules):
1) Each Muppet candidate will post one post to follow this announcement which will be his/her campaign announcement speech.
2) At the end of each person's speech the ballot will be cast for voting to begin.
3) At the end of a certain period of time, the one with the least amount of votes will have to concede to the other campaigning Muppets; however, he/she may still participate in the game by rallying for the Muppet he/she will be voting for.
4) The game will end when the last Muppet stands.

DISCLAIMER:-Game rules can be altered at any time. Keep a check on post #'s 1 and 2 of this thread.
-This thread may be locked if a new one has to be opened in the event the polls may not be altered when begun.

On the ticket for Muppet President are:
(Muppet Presidential Candidate/MC Forum Member Running Mate)
Grover Monster/theprawncracker
Miss Piggy/Ruahnna
Beaker/Beakerfan
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew/Luke
Yorick/G-Man
Pepe the Kingprawn/Kimp the Shrimp

SPECIAL NOTE/RULE(S):
For the purposes of this game, rather than "meeps," Beaker will be able to speak and be understood; and, rather than grunts, Yorick will be allowed to speak and be understood (quite like we allow Camilla to speak in words rather than just clucks in other role-playing games in the past).

I just love an election. It's so, umm, American.

 

[Teheheman]

Wait, why can't we allow Beaker as Bunsen's VP? Or are there no VPs in this game?

[Fozzie Bear]

The MC members who are playing the roles are the running mates of the Muppet who will be Prez.

Oh ok then, thanks for clearing that up

Beaker: Good afternoon! Today I would like to announce that as of April 8, 2007, I am entering my ticket in the Muppet Presidential campaign. If elected President, I promise to be just, truthful, and strong for this nation. I will take care to listen to what the people want, and will keep the muppets of this country in mind when making decisions. I trust that you, as voters, will keep an open mind during the election season, and will listen to all sides of a debate while making your decisions.

Thank you!

Bunsen:- Here at Muppet Labs we are taking this Muppet Presidential Election process very seriously. Prior to announcing myself as a candidate i instructed Beaker to make a detailed study of the American Election process, he studied the 2000 Bush/Gore Election and realized how easy it was for a person with low intelligence who is easily manipulated and says very little to get elected, therefore Beaker has decided to stand for election himself!

Undeterred by this act of treachery, i would like to announce that i, Dr Bunsen Honeydew Of Muppetville will be standing as a candidate. My first act (if elected president) will be to ban all testing on Animal/s, and instead put forward Beaker as a volunteer for anything potentially dangerous. I will pay special attention to the immigration process and any King Prawns trying to enter the country to work for "de monies". The Muppet Show Season 2 will be released on the new Green Ray High Definition Laser Powered Nuclear Explosive format, and all rats will be banned from the White House, which will be painted Kermit green. Instead a team of Penguins will be running my office where special hot tubs will be installed - all penguins will wear speedo's with the presidential seal (who will be an actual seal).

Grover: HELLO EVERYBODIEEEEEEE!! It is I Grover, your favorite cute, cuddly, furry blue monster here, and today I am going to teach you all something very important. Today I am teaching about running for political office! Yeah, yeah, is it not excting? I will be running, not litterally, you see, for the office of President of- ...something or other. Anyway, I am representing everyone from Sesame Street as their pick for President of- ...something or other. So, I hope to have your vote too, and then I can give everybody flying lessons as SU-per Grover! Thank you! Thank you public!
