Guardian Debates! Live TV and action if you're in attendance!

[ Everyone's TVs will flicker on and to the Genessia News Channel for a Live Special Report. The Show Host pops out from beneath the podium, a cool tenor voice coming straight from him as he addresses the camera. ]

Well heeeeello there everyone! We interrupt your day for a very special report! It's your favorite host with news about the City Guardian Election, live, despite the weather folks! It turns out electronics don't work so well in the freezing cold, so we've had to move our Guardian's debate to warmer pastures! Thank you to our sponsor, Hot Diggity! Toast your houses so warm this winter you'll think you're bread. Though let's hope a little chill won't freeze out any of the candidates, ha ha ha! Or should I say ho ho ho?

[ There's a brief pause before he swivels to a second camera and the camera view zooms in on his face as if he didn't just make the lamest news pun. ]

We are broadcasting live from right here in Genessia City. Many folks are in attendance, including our very own GCPD who are here to monitor and keep the peace. Let's begin the live debate-slash-Q&A you've all been waiting for. Here's how it works: You all come up with questions to ask each of the Guardians, and each Guardian will have the opportunity to answer it to help you decide which of your candidates is the right one for your city. You can submit your questions via text to the CPU and it will beam them to our stage, or if you're here in the audience, head on up to the podium and ask in person! Now to introduce our candidates.

Attleton puts the A+ in Guardianship, but will it be return Guardian Cassian Andor? Or will Chara or Cecil Palmer talk up a storm in the citizen's hearts?

Everglade as always returns with two beautiful ladies, the gorgeous and charitable returning Guardian Grell Sutcliff and a new gem, Emerald Sustrai! Who will shine harder in this debate?!

Fayren keeps its tradition of having the largest number of candidates with four all-stars! Welcome Alexstrasza, Qubine, Winter Schnee, and current acting Guardian Mavis Vermillion! A goddess, a dragon, an ice queen, and a fairy-esque guild-leader. What a variety!

Nova City's coming in hot! Check it out, Mercury Black and Garrus Vakarian trying to stay in office with a dual ticket! Current Deputy Guardian Grievous saying: It's my turn, boys! And a newcomer from a new corner, Gale Reinhard, ready to rock Nova City all night long!

Let's not forget the heart of our cities, the hostess with the mostest, Genessia City! It's the mayor-punching expert, X-Ray and our long-term favorite returning Guardian David Haller!

Let's get started folks! Get out of the showers and into the town hall for this live debate, starting in 30 minutes! You've still got time to pop in, let's go, and don't forget to cast your votes this Tuesday, December 26th at the polls!

{ OOC NOTE: Anyone can reply to this post with a question they want to ask the potential City Guardians. Each City Guardian candidate is tasked with answering any question on this post. No candidate is required to, but lack of participation may affect public opinion of the candidate! Lack of any activity during the election season will disqualify your candidate, however.

On December 26th, the polls will officially go up and each character will be afforded one vote for each city. So if you play 5 characters, you will need to submit 5 IC vote choices; if you only play 1, then only that character will vote. This means you as the player are voting on your character's behalf because it's going to be in the OOC comm just so that we can include instructions. There will be further information at that time as well as a link to a "booklet" with candidate information. For now though, the debate is here! }

If the mayor is all about protecting vulnerable groups, how come they're just the groups that were included on the platforms you ran on when you were first elected? What's one thing the mayor has done that wasn't your idea first? And wait- Hold on.

[ Emerald actually looks confused for a second. Whether or not it's genuine is hard to tell, considering her penchant for acting. It certainly looks like it. ]

The only reason people know Everglade isn't safe is because they hear or witness it. But it's talked about and shared and not a secret. So which is it? If you've demystified it, how is it that the only way people know Everglade isn't safe is through the whispers of others? You can't have both, Grell, that completely contradicts itself.

Sorry for the lack of icon. I'm getting on plane! xD

That's the thing about being a City Guardian: not all ideas will be your own. Everyone has a point of view different than your own. It takes maturity to realize you're not alone when it comes to protecting everyone, and that we all must work together. No idea is truly original these days.

[Grell only shakes her head in amusement.] It can easily be both if you would only just pay attention to tenses in a sentence. So maybe instead of attacking me with falsehoods to build up your own campaign platform, which no other candidate has bothered to do, we could just run on our own merits and not try to poison the public. Cutting each other down is...

[The word "petty" comes to mind, but she refrains.]

Unnecessary.
unhappy: (Do not have ears.)

Debating actual points at a debate is unnecessary. Uh huh. You know I'm not cutting you down because I'm a big meanie but because there are actual questions people should be asking here, right? Right or wrong, telling someone not to ask questions is creating a culture of people who follow without question.

[ she knows all about that. It's far too familiar a concept, but you're not the person she shuts up for, Grell. ]

Calling it cutting down is just a way to get me to shut up because you don't like the conversation topic. You had no problem when I was on the defensive.

No one wants you to shut up, least of all me. I actually enjoy healthy competition. Your strategy of going about this debate is what I'm referring to. I only spoke up to correct the multitude of inaccuracies against me.
unhappy: (Do you want to know a secret?)

[personal profile] unhappy 2017-12-27 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
This isn't about healthy competition, this is about the fact that you don't want to talk about what I'm talking about, so you're trying to make it look like I'm the bad guy here for bringing up something you don't want people to hear.
