OPEN MIC STUDENT COUNCIL QUORUM
((OOC: let the games begin. GO! (edit: Bingo Cards are done! Yay! Now go play.)) (second edit: This will be open for discussion until 10pm US CST, Friday, 10/7. If you want to chime in, do it before then. After that time, comments will be locked.)
"Hello and welcome to the Open Mic Student Council Quorum. This is going to be a cross between a Crossfire event, a debate, and a party. We want you to get to know your Student Council candidates - all of them - better. A lot better. To that purpose, we've invited all of them here tonight. However, as this was not a mandatory event, we don't have a roster yet of who will show up. Feel free to write your questions in, we'll make sure they all get them whether they show tonight or not.
Here's how tonight is going to work:
1) Each Student Council Candidate will be asked 5 questions from the quorum directors (that's us), and they will have 1 minute to answer the question to the best of their ability. We'll be keeping score and awarding points for how accurately each question is answered, as well as style and delivery. At the end of the night, the representative with the most points will win a prize.
2) When the 5 questions have been answered, the floor will be opened to the audience for the Crossfire section - to ask the Candidates anything they want. HOWEVER, the questions must be on topic. Questions phrased with vulgar or offensive language, or questions about personal lifestyle choices or habits will be striken - and the asker will be asked to leave. So phrase your questions carefully. We're here to learn things and have fun.
3) The Candidates may ask each other questions in the Crossfire section. Feel free to go head to head over your issues. Well, verbally, anyway.
4) I mentioned fun, and to that effect, we have Buzzword Bingo going. Each of you was handed a set of Buzzword Bingo Cards and a pencil as you entered. Here's how it works: Each card has the name of a Candidate on it, and many, many buzzwords pulled directly from the debate last night. When you note any Candidate using a buzzword in any of their answers, tick it off on their Bingo Card. The first player to declare a Bingo wins a doorprize. The first player to get Bingos on more than five cards gets the grand prize.
The Prizes:
Single Card Bingo: First 12 people will each win 1lb boxes of chocolates from Wonka's Sweet Shop
Two Card Bingo: First person to get one wins a $15 gift certificate to Deb's Diner and Retro Store
Three Card Bingo: First person to get one wins a $30 gift certificate to Deb's Diner and Retro Store
Four Card Bingo: First person to get one wins a $50 gift certificate to The Emporium
Grand Prize: a $100 gift certificate to Red's Tattoos
((OOC NOTE: For the sake of our sanity, here's how it's going to run.
The "(Candidate name) Questions" threads will be locked to only the Candidates - please, no ooc comments or non-Candidate posting in them.
The "(Candidate name) Crossfire" section will be open to any IC comments. Please direct your questions to the Candidates in their threads.
Please keep all OOC comments in the "OOC" thread" - we ask because we'll be cutting and pasting from the other threads as the night goes on.
This post will remain the same - a secondary post will be linked for people who want to catch up without scanning a billion comments.
If you have questions for the moderator - and for right now, that's me - there will be a seperate post in my non-comm journal and you can ask them there. I am turning email notification for this thread off.))

Re: CROSSFIRE - PHOEBE HALLIWELL (PRESIDENT)
(Anonymous) 2005-10-07 10:39 am (UTC)(link)"Ms. LeHane? I have nothing against the sanctioned clubs, nor my fellow students. However, I was concerned with the students who were upset over the fact that the only people they saw running were either members of the Junior Achievers Club or people closely tied with Ms. Parker. There has been such an angry display of attacking between the two camps, that I could not in good conscience stay on a ticket like that. For that reason, and that reason alone, I removed myself from the Hottest Ticket In Town and chose to run alone on my own beliefs and platform. I'm sorry if you see my campaign materials as an attack. They are not meant to be used as such. My campaign manager and I were just trying to let people know that not everyone was worried about being accepted by one of the two largest groups on campus."
