ShadowDragon Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Greetings believers and heretics, The Holy Realm of the Cactuar - the Random Insanity Alliance - is pleased to announce our newest government . You may find it very similar to the old government but we assure you that elections were conducted in a fair and democratic manner. For the position of Triumvir was up for election. Shadow announced his intention to re-run and he easily won re-election with 100% of the votes. There were some whispers of it being rigged after some noticed that all 5 options on the poll were in fact all Shadow. Thus Shadow is re-elected to serve his 13th 6th month term. Shadow has served as Triumvir for over 5 years now - since August 10, 2008. For Head of Foreign Affairs, we had a race between robot & creator with RIA FA Bot running against brian. RIA FA Bot is RIA's irc chat bot that hangs out in #RIA. He was elected as HoFA with 84.6% of the votes to brian's 15.4%. brian will likely continue to represent him as HoFA as RIA FA Bot is a bot. For Head of Internal Affairs, we saw a penguin running against Croix. Croix was harshly defeated by the penguin who won with 66.7% of the vote. As the penguin soon ran off and cannot perform his duties, it was decided that Croix may retain the position. For Head of Economics this term, nobody filed their forms to run in time so the election gave two options of 're-electe Mogar anyway' which won with 70% of the votes and 'draft someone else' which lost with 30% of the votes. Thus either Mogar will be re-elected if he feels like it or cctmsp13, Viceroy and one of the longest serving and best HoEs in the RIA, announced he'd be willing to re-take the position. Thus one of them will be HoE once we get around to figuring it out. For Head of Recruitment, was saw a herd of llamas defeat dester with 69.2% of the votes. However, they were disqualified due to not being a individual but a herd. We hope the members of the herd decide to participate in future elections individually For Head of Military Operations, we were too distracted by the ongoing war that we actually completely forgot to hold an election for it. However as the only one who ran was biofantic, he'll be re-elected automatically. For Captain Planet, we saw a race between Baldr and Meatkin Pie. Baldr was elected with 76.9% of the vote. He gained popularity due to the Baldr War and the environmental protection gained from the destruction of technology which occurred from the EMP Nuclear Attacks that occurred and continue to occur between the Random Insanity Alliance and the silly Doombirds. We also saw the election for a new advisor position. aithne announced her intention to run for the position of Queen of the RIA, a promotion from her previous position of HotDoG (Head of the Department of Girls). She easily won with 72.7% and thus has become the first Queen of the RIA. One other election we had was for the position of Shadow of the RIA. After a close race between Shadow, Leo, and Shadow Slayer, Leo came out ahead with 53.8% of the vote. Thus Leo becomes the official Shadow of the RIA.Government for December 2014 & January 2015Triumvirate XII Shadow im317 OgadenCabinet XCVIHead of Economics: cctmsp13 or MogarHead of Foreign Affairs: RIA FA Bot represented by BrianHead of Internal Affairs: CroixHead of Military Operations: biofanticHead of Recruitment: dester55Government Advisors46th Captain Planet: BaldrCactus Emeritus Agent Lemon Delta1212 Hyperonic Moth Shadow Slayer Thunder StrikeFloridian Tribal Elder Apophis775 JenneGod Emperor ShadowQueen aithnePrince of Darkness JenneViceroy cctmsp13Leo HyperonicShadow Leo tl;dr You get a title!

kingzog Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 We decided that really should have its own post It's way more fun if you bury the lead. "Elections, Congratulations to the Winners, oh and we're declaring war on...." That way you find out who actually read the whole thing and who's just hear to do a mindless hail. Now, that being said, congratulations on your elections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one was hoping the announcement would be both, and that RIA's ongoing rebellion would rise up and vanquish the evil RIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Zone Elite Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 this is bs, I actually won the race for the title of 'Viceroy of RIA' but then they e-lawyered their way out of it by saying that an ex-minion of a RIA Viceroy can't become in turn, a Viceroy.
