Jessika leans back into her chair, letting out a soft sigh. "Andrew will be systematicly dealt with in time... It won't be easy, but it WILL happen."
Stretching out her neck a little, she glances at Sam, smirking. "And as much as I hate to burden you during such a... interesting time of your life Sam, I'm Reinforcing your nomination. I think when the need arises your the most level headed person for the job."
She shurgs gently, "I'd have otherwise pushed for my dear Veskit, but lets not forget he's got children to take care of. Speaking of which, Viessa's at home looking after Tommy and Cynthia, but I was reminded by her to cast in favor for Lu from her."
Jessika leans forward, "So concider that tipping the scales somewhat."

Sam looks nervously about the room. "Thanks, Jess... I think. But what's going on in my life is less important than the group - that's part of what I see the Alliance for anyway. We're all friends, and we all support each other. But, as we are all no doubt aware, there's more going on here than just picking someone to lead us from here on in. The reputation of the Alliance has not yet recovered from the horrendous events twelve months ago, and I'd like to see us doing more to improve that. With that aim in mind, I have a couple of proposals I'd like to table for discussion."
She pulls out a leatherbound folder and opens it, passing round copies of a letter to everyone there.
"This is a proposal to the local governor that we sponsor young aspiring heroes in both education and the development of their abilities. If this gets the go-ahead, I intend to keep the organisation of it completely separate to the Alliance itself, but I want to add the Alliance name to this proposal. If the people of the city see that we are doing right by the children of the community, then that equates to a large quantity of goodwill. Funds for this foundation can be provided separately to the Alliance - I know that Dicky has a huge wadge of cash burning a hole in his pockets that he wants to give away, so I'm going to try to nick some of it." She grins at her brother who responds by sticking his tongue out at her.
"Secondly, I'm concerned that the Alliance is becoming insular. We live in the greatest City on Earth, people, with some of the greatest heroes and most despicable villains in close proximity. But most of us don't socialise outside our immediate circle with a lot of the heroes out there. I know I don't. This is not so much a formal proposal as a suggestion that we do something about that. I understand that DJ Zero has reopened the ski chalet, and this is a prime opportunity for us to network with other heroes, get involved in things and generally get noticed again as one of the premier crimefighting organisations in this town. We know we're the best. Let's make sure everyone else knows it too."

Ray looks up from where he was scribbling notes "Those are a couple of great points hun, there's some money of Akk's left over if you want to stick that in the fund, but before we get onto that, I think we've got enough nominations. So, if you don't mind writing down a vote and popping it into this pot, that'd be fab." Pens, paper and a large pot with a lid have all appeared out of the table, thanks to the magical properties of the base. "I'll count up when we're done and you can carry on while I do that. So just to recap: Jane, Veskit, Sam and Lu have all been nominated. There won't be any more nominations now, so please make a vote one way or the other. ((So it's the 17th, all votes in by the 20th please. Votes are made via a PM on these forums to me. I MIGHT accept things a day or two late, if you're lucky  )) |

((Probably entirely too late to actually change anything, but after some serious thought (and some progress in the ol' RLstress levels) I haf decided I'm not gonna godmod the thing and OOC rule Jane out. So yeah, she is open and votable for, in the unlikely-as-hell cases that:
a) people were actually going to vote for her
and
b) haven't already voted for someone else!
Sorry for jerking you guys about with this, this is the final decision on my part. >_>))

((Oooh, 'eck. I just noticed that this turned into a two-horse race. In case anyone missed the information I posted up on the FA channel the other night, Pixie has asked that Lu not be considered for the leadership role as she currently has a large number of commitments out-of-game which mean that she will, for the foreseeable future, be unable to give much attention to CoH, and she doesn't think it would be fair to the FA for her to take on such a significant role in the process.
That means that 'realistic' nominations are down to Ves and Sam. You have no idea how tempted I am to bottle it completely. I'm not going to, because I think this sort of thing is much more entertaining when there is some element of uncertainty to the outcome, and I am prepared (I think) to handle things should it fall on my head. Now we just wait and see.))
Sam picks up a pen and a scrap of paper, and scrawls quickly on it, hastily folding the paper and dropping it into the pot, before turning her smile on everyone. "Well, that's me done."

((snarkish comment removed after some thought, will just make it absolutely clear that I am not OOC removing Jane from this and leave it at that.))
Jane pulls a blue-and-white pen from a pocket and scribbles rapidly, before folding the scrap and passing the pen to Kat. Both flick the folded pieces of paper into the pot at almost the same time.

Alita takes a pen, carefully writing her vote on a slip of paper, before idly folding it into a little crane and dropping it into the pot with the others.
Ves glances round the table a moment, frowning thoughtfully before adding his own vote to the pot and leaning back in his chair.

((Well, that'll teach me to write based on what I thought I'd read... Sorry, May. I certainly didn't mean to cause any form of offense, and if I have done so, I apologise unreservedly.))

((noprobs, tehShad. Reading errors are kay, lord knows I do them often enough.  Anywho, what I actually came to post for. Very sorry to question the almighty admin, but am I the only one who thinks 3 days is a little on the short side, especially around Christmas when people are most likely to be mad-busy? Dunno how long I'd make it (6 days? a week?) but 3 seems too short to me.)) |

((Funny you should mention that, I came on here with the intention of exdending the deadline. I think until the new year is a good amount of time, but if people would like to have a result sooner than that, do say so))

Josh scratches his chin and looks around the room at the nominated members, takes a pen and paper and scribbles down a name and chucks the paper in the pot.
"Right I'm off to check out the skiing at the D, see ya dudes."

Richard chuckles and nods as Josh rises to his feet. "I'll probably be along in a little while, old boy. I need to have a chat with Zero about by last drinks bill, but I want to see how things end up here."
Sam smiles warmly at Josh. "Always nice to see you, sugar. Try not to devastate all the young ladies, and maybe we'll ask Helena is she's willing to play 'hunt the thimble' with you." She winks at the young man.

Ray sits back in the chair about counts out the votes. He lays each piece of paper face up on the table in front of him. By some effect of the voting jar, all the hadwriting is exactly the same.
"Well, there we have it."
On the table are twelve pieces of paper. Three scraps say Jane, four say Sam and five say Veskit.
"Congrats boss. Since we're all here, anything major shakeups you wanna announce?

Post by Ves on Jan 15, 2008 20:42:24 GMT
Ves arches an eyebrow as he counts the scraps of paper himself
"All I'm going to say on the matter for now is that I'm not gonna go changing everything, things work pretty well as they are. I might come up with an idea or two over the next few weeks though, so you never know what could happen"
And then, with a devious chuckle he adds "And if everything goes wrong and I get us all killed in some real stupid manner, it's your own fault for picking me, so expect no sympathy in the next life"
