Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Who can run?
A: Anyone! Just make sure that when you enter, be sure to post your In-Game Name as your "Name of Candidate"

Q: When signing up, how do we choose what current issues to talk about?
A: You can just come up with anything - creativity is key!

What is the difference between Name of Candidate and Name of Committee?
A: The Name of Candidate will be your In-Game Name (IGN). The Name of Committee is what you want to call your campaign - be creative! (and forum appropriate)

Q: Do I have to have a running mate?
A: Yes, only one (1)

Q: How do I choose my running mate?
A: Ask any of your friends or ask in the discussion thread.

Q: Does my running mate have to have a forum account to participate?
A: No, however you might find it easier to coordinate via PM here.

Q: Do I, the candidate, have to have a forum account to participate?
A: Yes.

Q: How exactly will the debates work?
A: After the community has chosen the two topics, I will PM both the running mate and candidate with the prompt. From there you and your running mate will have to coordinate an answer by the deadline. If you do not respond by the deadline you will be considered as a "drop out" and will not be considered for the voting.

Q: For the debate, can we "talk smack" or "trash talk" about our competitors?
A: No. All discussion must remain civil and appropriate. Focus on your strengths as a candidate. Any rude content will be moderated and is subject to disqualification.

Q: How exactly will the voting work?
A: After the candidates have responded, I will create a new thread with a poll for which the community (and the candidates) can vote on. There will be a deadline for the vote and the top 5 (for round 1) and top 3 (round 2) will move onto the next round. The votes will be PUBLIC in order to discourage dummy account voting. Spacetime reserves the right to adjust the polls if there is any suspected foul play.

As an apolitical organisation, the A.R.S.E.S. does not seek civil authority. However, as we have been called upon to investigate matters as diverse as fox-tail banners and inter-dimensional portals, the Society has always striven for the greater good of Arlor.

The A.R.S.E.S. has been approached by the Cake Party, to provide scientific expertise for its potential administation. We would like to announce that the Society will be pleased to lend its support, should they prevail in the forthcoming election.

We have taken this stance as the Cake Party has been shown to value scientific enquiry, even to the point of basing its current campaign around an issue originally raised by the Society. *

In addition to this, we like coffee and cake.

A question for candidate Konafez: what kind of permit would you force upon Knox ? Isn't that discrimination against little blue people ?

(In best Adam West voice)

First let me say, what a handsome question

I would demand his Stargate be inspected by the arlorian environmental protection agency and the a.r.s.e.s for arcane energy leakage leading to possible pet mutation (every time I go through the portal grimm gets angry)

Next I would disallow his tax deduction of "public transportation" for his portal

I also would like a audit done on Knox, how is he funding his Stargate? I mean he dosent work..he just hangs out in the basement all day with his friends..we suspect he's working with Milla the stash girl to scam hard working arlorians out of there gold

Once properly inspected I would issue a permit to " operate and maintain a interdementional gateway and sell hotdogs"

Cause its a long trip and everyone needs a snack

As an interested party, I would opine that it is Hox's (for that is his name, or is it?) continual interference with the very fabric of reality that is at issue here, not the hue of his epidermis.

After all whilst it wouldn't hurt to redecorate, I would hate to see a quantum singularity open up in Kraag or Stronghold.
