EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT: Mayoral Elections

[progressmods]

ELECTION SEASON
April 23th - May 7th
 

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Progress City's first event! It was originally supposed to be a little lighthearted flower and garden festival, but then Mayor Rod had to go and malfunction mid-town hall. Nice job, Mayor Rod.

To put it plainly, we'll be putting up a town hall log on April 22nd where Rod's animatronic will malfunction. Bill will step in and question Rod's leadership, and propose an election to replace him - after all, who elected him in the first place? Rod will begrudgingly agree because while he doesn't know if he trusts any of you people - he also doesn't want a dictatorship.

You'll find more relevant information as we get close to this, but citizens of Progress City are absolutely allowed to run, and voting is open to all! To ensure you're on the ballot, please comment to the appropriate top-level below by April 22nd at 11:59 PM (EST). If you have any questions, we'll also be happy to answer them below!

You can also feel free to note a campaign team, if you'd like! These will close, once again, on April 22nd at 11:59 PM (EST).

Rod

[keyofimagination]

he's only been the mayor for like a year he's running for a second term fuck all of you

[greatwidesomewhere]

SLAMS HER HAT DOWN INTO THE RING

this place doesn't even have a school

Plankton

[andbegone]

and no one was surprised

Ardyn is his campaign manager because quite frankly he needed someone competent to be involved
update: so is Richard because they agreed to be co-rulers

Count Olaf

[itsthecount]

In addition to attempting to sabotage all the other campaigns, Count Olaf will be running (in disguise), with Dan Backslide and Karen Plankton (also in disguise) as campaign managers.

Ghostave

[yourghosthost]

honestly, he just wanted to run a fucking flower and garden festival but you people have forced his hand here

[marryapanther]

tbh bagheera probably wouldnt intentionally enter the running for this especially since he doesnt understand anything about human politics

so im just gonna run off the idea that one of yall anonymously put this cat on the ballot without his knowledge

[ilovepuppies]

i can't believe Star has all these campaigns to sabotage

[derring_do]

della will nominate him

and also make posters because she really wants a cat to be mayor

[ilovepuppies]

HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT BRUNCH IS

[hallotween]

as campaign manager we are running on a strong anti-rod, pro-kicking rod's butt platform

[ilovepuppies]

YOU ARE GOING DOWN

[greatwidesomewhere]

HELL YEAH HELL YEAH

[allknowledgegoodknowledge]

what's your stance on your dating life, ex-mayor

[dothebackslide]

There's just a standee of Dan giving a thumbs up at every meeting. See look, he's totally here and supportive.

[andbegone]

'see why can't the rest of you citizens be more like dan backslide'

'he's unquestionably supportive of everything i say'

[itsthecount]

can count olaf be on the campaign team running against a man who is obviously-not-count-olaf

[standingonmyneck]

As second manager, we just don’t want Count Olaf to win. That’s bad fam.

[andbegone]

[flowersonthewall]

[ilovepuppies]

IS IT TRUE THAT YOU'VE MURDERED CHILDREN????

[kindaruledatit]

tbh she's here for the memes

[tacticalespionageaction]

he'll trust a cat over any politician

[evilette]

vote for Literal Teenager Princess Evie, royal advisor to the Literal Teenaged King of Auradon, daughter of The Evil Queen — Yes That One, and Fairest of Them All — she hates count olaf, is way too wary of anyone named belle having a position of power after the one in her world and her husband kind of sort of banished a whole shitload of people to hellish conditions on a place called the isle of the lost, and also she's smart and cute and will murder you with her impeccable style.

[faciliheir]

if there's a way to steal this election she's gonna find it

[evilette]

what a wicked idea freddie

who could possibly ever consider doing something so evil

[not_over_yet]

If Freddie's backing someone, Basil's on board. She just makes better judgment calls than him, which is not terrifying to consider, so +1 mouse.

[lusito]

yes please

[evilette]

SHE APPRECIATES YOUR SUPPORT, BASIL
