    The Official OS Mayoral Election Debate Thread

    The voters need to be informed, and the best way to do that is via a no-holds barred, anything goes, everything below the belt accepted mayoral debate.

    DEBATE PARTICIPANTS:

    ExtremeGamer
    Skerik
    SPTO

    The debate will start with each candidate providing their answers to the following questions. Since dkgojackets is celled, he will not be able to participate in the debate. His loss.


    Question 1: Name two changes you will bring to OS once elected.

    Question 2: Why are your fellow candidates less qualified than you? In other words, why shouldn't your opponents be elected Mayor of Operation Sports?

    Question 3: What is your stance on foreign policy (i.e. mergers with other sites and other such diplomatic issues)? If elected, will there be the possibility of a war (against another site)?

    Question 4: Do you have a campaign video/picture/song you would like to share? If so, this is the place to do it.

    Question 5: The OS budget is an important part of the site, and as mayor you must be able to manage finances. To prove you are adept at handling a budget, riddle me this: 3 Travelling salesmen, far from home, decide to get a room at a local hotel and split the costs. They ask the clerk "how much for a room?" The clerk tells them $30. They each pull out $10 and give it to the clerk. After a while, the clerk realizes that weekend rates apply, and the cost of the room is only $25. He pulls 5 $1 bills out of the till and heads off to their room. As he's walking, he remembers that there's 3 of them, and 5 won't break evenly between 3 salesmen. So the clerk pockets $2, and gives them each $1 back.

    So, now each of the salesmen have paid (net) $9 for the room. [Originally paid $10, got one back from clerk]

    9x3=27

    Clerk pocketed $2.

    27+2=29?

    Where's the extra dollar?

    PM me your answer to this riddle so as not to reveal the result to your opponents.

    Question 6: Are there any closing comments, anything else you would like the citizens of OS to know?

    After the questions have been answered, we will enter a stage of cross-examination where each candidate will be able to ask their opponents three questions each.

    After cross examination we will move on to rebuttal, and then, finally, closing statements. Once the debate has ended it will be time for the final election.

        So this massively pointless election is also rigged?

          Yeah Skerik won, so I am confused.

          I will not partake in any shenanigans.

            Did Skerik have sex with a goat outside his marriage or something?

                I misread the results, which is funny, because I voted for Skerik.

                  I'll answer these questions in a few hours. I need to think up my strategy!
