City Hall When it's time to vote, say "vote so-and-so" for the person you want to be the next Senator. Remember, only one vote will count!
City Hall Voting will start after the debate!
City Hall Okay, candidates, here's how we'll do it
City Hall I'll tell you who's going to answer the question, and that person will please take the center of the stage here
JoelGC ok<
Deriko Agreed.
City Hall We'll start the Debate with an opening statement from each of the candidates...
City Hall JoelGC, since your platform was first posted in City Hall, you'll start please
JoelGC ok
JoelGC Im joelgc
JoelGC and
City Hall Go ahead and tell us what you hope to accomplish, or why folks should vote for you - one or two chat bubbles
JoelGC I hope to open the whyology center if i become senator in the future
JoelGC and
JoelGC To make another disco
JoelGC is that all i ahve to say?<
City Hall Okay, DivaSis is next... thank you JoelGC!
JoelGC ur welcome thank u
scyllaCat *claps*
DivaSis I would like to make more chat rooms, and i would like to take other peoples ideas and put them into actio
scyllaCat *claps*
City Hall Thank you DivaSis - and now Deriko!
Deriko Whyville has been a great place for each one of us here today. I hope to take all of your ideas to make it even better!
DivaSis claps
JoelGC *claps*
Deriko With your help and ideas, I knwo we can help more people to discover Whyville in the same way many of us here did tonigh
City Hall scyllaCat: do you have questions?
scyllaCat City Hall: a few obvious ones.
City Hall DivaSis, you have the first question
City Hall In your platform, you suggested having a second password, answering questions like "What's your favorite pet?"
DivaSis yes
City Hall But most people get their passwords stolen because they give them away -- why won't they give away this second one as well?
DivaSis Thats a good question, someone had suggested to me to make questions, because someone had been guessing their password
DivaSis So I decided that maybe to help we could have other questions
City Hall Thank you, DivaSis! *claps*
City Hall The next question is for JoelGC...
City Hall Several of your suggestions involve creative, new chat rooms - what do you think the big purpose of Whyvill is?
JoelGC The biggest purpose i think is having fun meeting people and learning
JoelGC And making friends
JoelGC playing games ect
City Hall Thanks JoelGC! *claps*
City Hall And now Deriko...
Deriko Ask away...
City Hall Your platform suggests that WhyPox be eliminated...
Deriko Yes it does
City Hall But chasing the Pox is a major source of clams and learning for many folks -- do you consider that a loss, or how would you suggest we handle that change?
Deriko So far, I haven't seen this case of Whypox be a major source of clams for anyone...
Deriko I have received many Whymails, being a whymail helper, from citizens who are telling me they will quit Whyville if I...
Deriko If I do not rid them of the disease immediately... I do not want more citizens to leave Whyville because of this....
Deriko And We can always bring the disease back next winter :-)
Deriko Thanks
City Hall LOL - thanks deriko!
scyllaCat *claps*
DivaSis claps
JoelGC *claps*
City Hall The next question is for DivaSis...
DivaSis ok
City Hall Your first platform suggested that not enough of Whyville's games were educational to convince parents ... what would you suggest we have to help parents understand Whyville better?
DivaSis Well I have rethought the whole edgucational idea because there are plenty of edgicational games already-including salar
DivaSis salary raising*
DivaSis But maybe we could use more salary raising games
City Hall It's fair to change your mind because there's a new argument that convinces you... that's good!
City Hall Okay, thanks DivaSis!! *claps*
City Hall Next question: Deriko
City Hall Deriko - Your platform and the way you chat is very carefully crafted...
Deriko No, I feel that it more clearly expresses my thoughts, and many people enjoy seeing me chat this way :-) As do I
Deriko If the people thought i was being distanced from them.. then they would not be cheering me on so faithfully as they are
Deriko Thanks again everyone!
City Hall Thanks Deriko! *claps*
City Hall JoelGC, your turn! :)
City Hall Your most recent petition talked about people being mean to each other in Whyville - it's a tough problem, and we'd love to have more ways of fighting it... what do you suggest?
JoelGC let me think for a bit
JoelGC I think we should have more people watching and people giving egsamples
JoelGC we should examples sry
JoelGC So we should have more city workers giving examples
JoelGC I spell wroung when im nearvious
City Hall Don't worry about it :)
JoelGC in each room
JoelGC lol
City Hall Okay! Thanks JoelGC!
City Hall Next step - the candidates will get to ask each other 1 question; then the person will reply and the questioner may get a follow-up if we think it'll be useful
Deriko Great! :-)
City Hall Deriko, you may begin - ask either DivaSis or JoelGC one question, then we'll move on
Deriko JoelGC
JoelGC its going to be hard
Deriko Please take the stage
Deriko What aspect of Whyville do you think should take priority over most others? Games, chat, etc.
JoelGC what do u mean?
JoelGC English plz
DivaSis lol
Deriko What do you think is most important to the Whyville community? games, chat, etc
JoelGC kindness colture war people in are communty and politics ect
