Looks like we need to elect someone to get this mess sorted out
But in times like these, wishy washy sentiment won't do anything but drag the populace into a mire on confusion. No, we need strong direction. We need to elect a force that will iron out any potential kinks, bulldozer disruption and create order in the thread.

DAY 1 THE BREACH
The planetary conference room was a buzz of activity. Not actual, physical activity; each ambassador from each city was represented by holographic projection. It was simple, and led to far less assassinations. The holograms that belonged to each of the seven leaders stood on raised pedestals at each corner of the room, surrounded by their followers below. Lady Diedre Skye had the floor.
“The destruction of Gaia’s Landing by foreign action was a crime that our people will not stand for. It is not in the planetary council’s interest to deal with any and every Mind Worm infestation this planet faces, especially in such a destructive, abominable way. This is why I call for the immediate resignation of Chairman Yang as planetary governor and a vote to decide his replacement.”
A roar of contempt from The Hive corner arose, as well as several other positions in the room who had supported many of Yang’s measures. Yang laughed quietly under his breath.
“I am well aware of your reservations lady. I will happily step back and allow another election to take place; I have achieved much in these past 4 years regardless, and I’m sure many of my esteemed colleagues in this room will agree. I expect to be back in my role within a day.”
“Then it is decided.” Speaker Matthews declared. “All council cities must submit their votes for planetary governor by-“
The power died. The screens turned blank and the holograms faded. A few seconds later they returned, only to find that the banks of screens that lined the walls each displayed a single symbol.
“Now this is what I call the jazz, hmm?” spoke a female voice from the monitors. “Council meetings can be such a drag you know, it can be hard to sit through it without goin’ a little bit cross-eyed. So I’ve decided to make things a little interesting.”
The screens changed. Now instead they were displaying a Planetbuster missile, primed and ready to launch.
“Hehehe. You’d think with all those big bad missiles in once place you would have protected their launch sequences just a little bit?” Several of the council members present let out horrified gasps. The faction leaders looked on with concern. “Now I don’t really have any bad blood with you big shots, so instead of just firing these all off and killing you all where you stand, I’ve decided to have a little fun with you. Each of you gathered here today may input target coordinates into this central computer here, see? Then, at the deadline, the city at the coordinates inputted by the most people goes boom. A simple game, but most of the jazz is in the simple things, no? Have fun. Roze out.”
Recording ends. Immediate action adivised.
!Vote in green for the player who you believe should become next planetary governor. They will hold this role for 2 days. As governor they may choose measures to bring before the council to be voted on.
!Vote in red for the player to be targeted by a Planetbuster missile and destroyed.
You have the right to actively !Abstain for either vote.
Far off Robot-Tibet, learning from the Robo-Monks how to Robo-Crush my enemies like never before
My first act as Governor will be to actively seek out and destroy all that abstain from the vote
You will not be able to hide by refusing to voice an opinion
Chnging my vote to !Gumpy for his foolishness. Those apathetic voters would be best incarcerated in Nova Prospekt for the time being so they may have time and peace to fully consider their vote.
3clipse threatens the Thunderdome, a city held in high regard by my Llammas. Whores and bloodshed are actually two of the Llammas favortie vices, giving my city two natural allies on this world that supercede petty faction differences.
Also, support High President Kias to lead our planet against the mind worm threat. I have an elite squad of my finest Llamma Legionaires ready to stomp out the enemies of humanity.
Let us first unite to cleanse this threat before we commence with our inevitable mutual destruction!

Arivia for the most benevolent of matriarchies. Also free whippings!
Ladies and Gentlemen, might I have your attention for a brief public service announcement on a man we all know and respect:
Burnage Von Glovefuck
Burnage has been a member of our community for a long time and has shown himself to be exceedingly capable as both a leader and organizer of our people. Indeed, I can not think of a man who embodies excellence any more than Mr. Glovefuck.
But, good representatives of our fair cities, I ask you this: do we want excellence in our leader? In this time of doubt, an overly capable leader is potentially the single most dangerous threat to the continued existence of humanity. Sure, he will run our council with exceeding efficiency, but will that efficiency drive us to victory or into the maw of the ever growing Mind Worm menace?
So, when you make your vote, vote for Safety! Vote for mediocrity! Vote for Kias!
I always thought *shakes magic 8 ball* godmode would make a good sucker.. err I mean governator.
Khalis Prime residents asked me to pass on that BestDamnCity is not actually the Best Damn City so they would like Burnage to burn. We must not let such lies exist!
Jdarksun because he really should be tending to his child. What a selfish, awful parent, trying to find some small amount of online entertainment instead of catering to his son's every whim. Voting him off would be doing him a favor.
My green vote will go to the first person who asks for it.

We need someone to rule with an Iron fist.
A rusty metal Iron fist.

Aww, that's sweet! Thank you!
ronrab because you can always trust rabbits to run things properly. Just look at Watership Down.
... on second thought, don't do that.
Mordroth for usual day 1 reasons, ie none. (Except nice daniant voted for him.)
I remember True Names 2: The Namening...
I remember Cynic Jester selling out his faction and every single person allied with him.
As close as a reason I can get on day 1...
Gumpy for chairmain! Why? Mind worms can't effect him...can they?!
Chnging my vote to !Gumpy for his foolishness. Those apathetic voters would be best incarcerated in Nova Prospekt for the time being so they may have time and peace to fully consider their vote.
And the most dangerous person here is Kime!
[tiny]*meaning that we all know how he's going to act once he's handed near infinite power.[/tiny]

and in similar decisive fashion, whoever posts first after this will get my vote for governer, because they want it most
Well, it had to be asked...

And Kime.
Burnage
Just try to all abstain. I dare you.
But seriously no, nothing special happens if everyone abstains
And sanity demands Burnage...
Or is that insanity, I get the two confused.
Burnage Von Glovefuck
Burnage has been a member of our community for a long time and has shown himself to be exceedingly capable as both a leader and organizer of our people. Indeed, I can not think of a man who embodies excellence any more than Mr. Glovefuck.

So, when you make your vote, vote for Safety! Vote for mediocrity! Vote for Kias!
:sadface:
They have also determined that Burnage is the best person to lead at this moment, by very slim majority.
The act of RNG voting can never be proven! An RNG vote is as readable as any other
But an abstaining is pure scorched earth policy, and that will not be tolerated
Vote for what is right
Vote for a Robot to crush your foes
Gonna stick with Burnage because I don't want to waffle, but let it be known that Gumpy still rules,
Specifically, the one where you state your immediate wish to find your head replaced by rusty metal knuckles
With little eyes drawn on so no one notices
kias, you were || this close to buying me a new keyboard. Thankfully, I was able to stifle the laughter long enough to swallow my coffee.
Khalis Prime residents asked me to pass on that BestDamnCity is not actually the Best Damn City so they would like Burnage to burn. We must not let such lies exist!
I suspect that you misread the proposed policy to reduce all rusty robots to scrap metal.
I have no problem with the Thunderdome. Who started that rumor?
Tina Turner?
My green vote will go to the first person who asks for it.
Burnage
What could go wrong.?
and
Rainfall because that's CLEARLY a worm right up there. ^
