un: rugman | Voting results!

[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!]

Hotdog's Inaugural Address (un:hotdog)

[oorah]

So I guess I'm the fucking mayor of this shithole now. Pretty funny for a guy who never voted in his life. I don't know whether to thank the assholes who voted for me or punch you all, but I always was better at punching than saying thank you so you can guess where I'm leaning.

I'm taking this to mean the Natives are washing their hands of us. They don't want to be responsible for what happens next, but they still want to reap the benefits if we manage to make progress with the Sound Eaters. I get why they're scared, but where I come from death is always permanent and patriots lose their lives every day so the people back home can be free. Even if we come back, that doesn't make our sacrifice mean less.

Alright, enough of that bullshit, I'm getting to a point. All of us are going to pool our resources and Soundproof the Communal Houses. I want as many done as possible before the new people get here. We're constructing a Prison too which needs to be fully soundproofed and tough enough to keep shitbags inside. If there's anyone or anything you're worried about coming here from your world, you can let us know HERE. Mike is putting together a book so we'll all be ready. If you want to help, drop off materials at the Clinic, which is always looking for volunteers. Stay tuned for us rehabbing the Hospital too. We need anyone who knows any fucking thing about medicine and repairing androids or whatever that shit is.

No one does anything alone, there need to be witnesses to everything that happens in this crater. If you go out to the Sound Eaters: Bring your device and record. We don't know if the memory loss from the Room is permanent, but it's better not to risk being wrong. We need all the information we can get on those things. I'm doing a trip when the new arrivals get here out to Monster Island. If you want in, let me know.

That's all for now. Hotdog, over and out. [ threadjack to ur hearts content ]

[Erik cares little for the voting process or who was chosen to lead. What he does care about is how that decision will effect him. The environment. The natives, people who he feels an odd and detached sort of likeness to. He understands all too well what it’s like to be crowded into a small space and forced to live in fear for being ‘different’.]

Congratulations to our new leader.
I’m sure he’ll treat everyone fairly and equally.

I understand the need to feel separate from this world but there can’t be an us and them, the natives. It’s us and them, the monsters who feed on sound.

Many of us have abilities. Powers that are useful. There are natives that do as well. If we band together, we can keep ourselves safe. All of us.

[He wants to make his motives clear. He wants to survive. To get back home where he has unfinished business.]

I’m compiling all the information gathered here and there will be three different sections. Public, private, and what you can help with rather than abilities.

Do not respond to this post if you do not have anything useful to add. If you do not want to take the risk of others in the community knowing your skills, don't add them or make them private.

[ooc: Please comment Here. This post has been edited to make more sense. The mods have given me permission to make it so that when the final post is ready and I put it up, characters can only access it if they've asked for and been given permission; even the public part of the post.]
