TheX

jrg

@William unfortunately that defeats the purpose of stars in here.

William

8:39 PM

What is the purpose of stars in here then?

Is it any different then the regular rooms?

Marco Ceppi

They're to highlight questions

jrg

Purpose of stars in here is to highlight good questions for the candidates.

Marco Ceppi

and exceptional responses - if you feel so compelled

TheX

when does the voting actually start?

jrg

indeed.

Marco Ceppi

8:40 PM

@jrg @MarcoCeppi Thank you for enlightening me.

Stefano Palazzo

we're already close to the number of total votes from last year's election

TheX

@MarcoCeppi can you tell us how to bold? (for those who don't know)

jrg

@TheX Dude, I already sent in my bribe - absolutely nothing

To bold something: **bold text**

Marco Ceppi

Super Ninja today

TheX

William

8:42 PM

Octavian Damiean

We're just in time. Being here three ours before it begins is early. :P

jrg

@OctavianDamiean Exactly.

So, any questions that people want to ask that aren't uh, shall we say super serious?

William

He speaks from experience, you know.

@jrg Here is where the sarcastic part of me becomes exposed

I shall restrain myself because I am trying to be serious.

jrg

QUESTION: Are we (that is, candidates) allowed to ask the other candidates questions?

Amith KK

I was just thinking of that

William

8:55 PM

Good question.

Stefano Palazzo

@TheX no, if you like a candidate, advertise them!

TheX

I can ask in your place if you tell me what you want to ask...

William

Oh, the irony...

Tim Stone

@jrg Yes, and feel free to answer your own questions as well.

jrg

I would think yes, because we are part of the community.

Stefano Palazzo

8:56 PM

@TheX No.

@TimStone Thank you, I will do that.:)

Amith KK

TheX

8:56 PM

I don't want to promote my favored candidates... then I won't get any bribes from them... because then they would know...

Octavian Damiean
