[Carpet and Merlan have been present every day this week to collect and tally people's ballots--if you'd like an action thread with either of them involving that, feel free to post it here! Now that the polls have closed, Carpet is excited to announce the winner, even if he's still a little shaky on the concept of democracy.]

Voting is over now, thank you to everyone who contributed! It was a very close race between Hot Dog and Teddy. Every vote really counted right until the very end!

Let's all congratulate and welcome our new Mayor Hot Dog together!

[For a brief time, before someone corrects him, that last line will read Sultan Hot Dog, rather than Mayor. If you respond to that, please note that it's pre-editing!]

[ is. is he reading this right. is he hallucinating? ??????????? ]

yo, hot dog as in hotdog with the fight club thing?

[ he knows he voted but he also had doubts that it was an actual hotdog versus a hot dog, what a trip this is. ]

[gimmesometassel]

I guess so? I don't know anything about a fight club thing.

[Carpet is Pure and Disney, he doesn't know anything about beating the shit out of each other for fun. He'd be vaguely alarmed at the whole situation if he attended, to be honest.]

[nishizono]

oh, man.
it's this club where you just... let out your frustrations through your fists.

[ he's getting the feeling that the person he's talking to is way more wholesome than he's ever been used to dealing with. ]

[gimmesometassel]

That sounds pretty scary! Don't people get hurt? Wouldn't people who got beaten up get even more frustrated? I'm sure there must be another way to make yourselves feel better without making someone else feel worse!

[He is Disney Grade Pure, okok, and you are Doing Him A Concern. People fighting and getting hurt is bad! Especially because fights are usually pretty serious and dangerous, people could even die! Isn't it miserable to limp home covered in wounds and feeling awful, too?]

[ he actually did it, that son of a bitch. ]

I have regrets.

[gimmesometassel]

Why?

[gaits]

Nevermind don't worry about it.

Thanks for your hard work getting all the votes together.

[gimmesometassel]

You're welcome! Are you sure though? If you're worried about something maybe you should ask Miss Constance about it.

[He has a Concern for you, David. :c Is everything really okay?]

[underachievement]

Don't drink and vote.

[gaits]

I did it sober so I don't even have that excuse.

Good
No one else should have won

[ That's fuckin rude Beth. Really, though, she's just proud of her bff ]

[gimmesometassel]

I'm sure he'll do a great job!

[He has no idea who Frank even is, TBH. But if so many people have faith in him, then he'll believe too!]

PRE-EDITING.......

[beguiledcard]

Sultan?

Well, either way, I'm glad to know so many agreed with me on Hotdog-san being the right guy for the job.

Guess I should try to cut down on my hard crimes for his sake.

[gimmesometassel]

People who rule a kingdom are called sultans! And their children are princes and princesses.

[He's totally knowledgeable about politics, shhhhhh. Also, someone please teach him how to read tone via text, he has a hard time telling when people are joking on here.]

I'm sure whatever you do will be helpful. You're already helping everyone here a lot!

[beguiledcard]

Ah... Well, I won't argue on those facts. In this case, however, we were voting on the title of "Mayor."

Mayors are basically representatives of the people within what's called a "city." They don't have any major authority, but they are there to guide the people of the city.

[ fuwa you sweet summer child ]

I was joking, really... but I'm happy to have your vote of confidence, Fuwa. It means a lot to me.

[gimmesometassel]

I guess he us more of a mayor then. Sultans can make whatever laws they want! But why is Reims still a city instead of a kingdom when there's greater ruler to answer to anywhere else now?

[BRB editing! He understands the idea of cities in principle, but in practice..... cities are kingdoms in this world, aren't they? They're self-contained, self-sustaining, self-governing..... relations between such direly cut off cities may as well be diplomatic foreign relations.]

Really? You deserve it either way!

[You've earned his confidence, Akira. :> And most likely, just about anyone could see that fact except you yourself.]

un: sol - pre-editing!

[skyofreverie]

[Wait...]

Sultan?

[And...]

Is his name actually Hot Dog?

[gimmesometassel]

You don't usually vote for sultans but they are the ones who rule!

That was the name on the votes so I guess it must be?

[skyofreverie]

Yeah, I get it. There was a world I visited where it was ruled by a sultan. Not that I know much about it, just kind of knew him in passing as the parent of one of my friends. It's just the first time I've ever seen anyone else use the word before outside of that world.

I've never known anyone with a name like that before.

[gimmesometassel]

Neither have I. Why would you name someone after an overheated dog?

[It's a weird naming convention, if you ask him. But far be it from him to criticize! A name is a precious and wonderful thing; even he didn't have one until he came here. Even after thousands and thousands of years!]

That's the right word where I'm from. I'm friends with the Sultan and his daughter. Where did you go?

[clarius]

Congratulations to Sultan Hot Dog! I'm sure they'll do a great job with how much confidence the others must have for them.

[ yep - she's not even going to question the name. when her name is lorem and she knows someone named thesaurus, she has no right to wonder. ]

[lilithsoul]

The election was between an actual dog capable of speech and a hot dog. And we have now elected a hot dog?

[Please forgive her. She might not have been paying much attention to the election. It hadn't struck her as that important.]

[gimmesometassel]

I think he's a human who's just named Hot Dog? I haven't met him myself though.

[Would it really be allowed for a real hot dog to be a mayor? Sora had said that was just a piece of meat, after all.]

[lilithsoul]

[That was, perhaps a relief. People had strange names, after all, and even if this was one of the stranger she'd heard, it was still nothing to be concerned with.]

I have not yet met this hot dog either. The idea of voting for a leader is not something I think about generally.

[gimmesometassel]

I didn't know you could. Where I'm from sultans either have to be born into a royal family or marry a prince or princess.
