<~Sean_Kelly> So, the debate is supposted to be starting now.  The procedings will be
 delayed until more people arrive....

(Twenty Minutes Later.....)

<Metal_Man88> I'm going to have to debate with myself >.>

<~Sean_Kelly> possibly

<Metal_Man88> Ah well. At least it's a bonus for my campaign.

<~Sean_Kelly> In that case: What does the future president of NC plan to do if elected?

<Metal_Man88> I will, of course, help bring activity to NC. I will promote tourism and 
ensure the local adventuring people do plenty of activities. And then I will ensure 
there are plenty of comics featuring them. Yes, even Fred doing things would suffice.

I will also actually do things, unlike my predecessors, and ensure that tyrants such as 
Bowser get equal rights. After all, the Extreme vote is important.

And as a side note, I will help promote interest in the next election, for I would wish 
to run against more active people next time!

<~Sean_Kelly> What are your opinions on the other candidates?

<Metal_Man88> Donez is a fine candidate, unfortunately I have yet to see anything from 
him. His choice of vice president is most unfortunate. Yoshi is also quite silent, 
although I would say I am cautiously optimistic that he will do something. I believe Wario may have what it takes to win an election in four years, but his tactics are rough 
and he seems to miss the mark.

Churro and Bill are the only ones which I don't have much good to say about, for they 
got elected, and yet, neither of them really did anything as a president...

<~Sean_Kelly>  How is the website going to change? 

<Metal_Man88> It will mostly stay the same, only there will be more content on it. I will bring in more comics and activity, just as I have brought activity to my primary and this debate.

My experience in world-relations will probably allow me to draw in more viewers, and, 
therefore, more people to populate NC-land.

(Donez Flies In on the Donezcopter)

<Dr. Donez> I have arrived

<~Sean_Kelly> ahh...

<Dr. Donez> Sorry for being late I forgot

<~Sean_Kelly> About time, we had to start without you

<Dr. Donez> Oh okay

<~Sean_Kelly> Might as well start officially

SMBHQ RPC PRESENTS - NC Elections Debate 2008

<~Sean_Kelly> Hello and welcome to the elections debate.  We will take a minute for 
everyone in attendance to introduce themselves.

<Dr. Donez> I am Dr. Donez and I am in attendance.

<Metal_Man88> I am Metal Man, a presidential candidate. I am here to help inform 
the voters.

<~Sean_Kelly> OK, the debate will work with me asking a series of questions.  Non-
debaters are allowed to PM questions to ask directly to me.


<~Sean_Kelly> First question.

<~Sean_Kelly> What does the future president of NC plan to do if elected?

<~Sean_Kelly> Donez has the floor

<Dr. Donez> Well
<Dr. Donez> I Dr. Donez would firstly deal with that imbecile Mario. 

And I would try and create a powerful and unstoppable military in case we go to war.

<~Sean_Kelly> MetalMan your response

<Metal_Man88> An unstoppable military? Entirely basing one's strategy around Mario? 
This fails to take into account what the voters want. And by their boredom and behavior, 
I suspect what they want is more things to happen in NC Land. Yes, chase MArio away... 
but more importantly, we need more things to happen. Crews should be sent out and 
adventures begun! Most importantly, Steve should be unfrozen.

Although I have no clue what we would do with him, his frozen body is becoming an 
eyesore.

<~Sean_Kelly> OK, we have a follow-up question from Hookbill: What precisely does Donez 
wish to "deal" to Mario?

<Dr. Donez> An excellent question indeed. I would have him picked up and sentanced to 
live on a deserted island for the rest of his life. He would be gone forever!

He would have to fend for himself

<~Sean_Kelly> MetalMan your response?

<Metal_Man88> You know Mario. He won't die even if you try to blow him up. However, I 
believe a giant pile of pasta atop a rocket shall deal with him for a good while. Then 
we can have adventures with Bill and Fred trying to take him down for good.

(Spy whispers to Sean)

<~Sean_Kelly> We have got word that one of the vice-presidential candidates is....stuck 
in traffic.  Hopefully he'll make it in time.  Now, on to the next question.

<~Sean_Kelly>  How is the website going to change?

<~Sean_Kelly> We'll start with MetalMan with this one

<Metal_Man88> I will not change the basic look and feel, but rather, bring more activity. I wish to bring more people to see NC, and most importantly, ensure weekly 
updates.

As I have been able to make ads for this campaign, I can make comics for NC, if elected.


<~Sean_Kelly> Donez, your response

<Dr. Donez> I have the same views as Metal Man for this one. I would not change the look 
of the site either, I would focus on activity, and I would update the site a few times a 
week. 

<~Sean_Kelly> Next question is directed at Donez: What do you plan do to with your ask 
Dr. Donez section that has not been updated for at least 5 years?

<Dr. Donez> The moment I am elected I would deal with reviving the Ask Dr. Donez 
section. 

<~Sean_Kelly> A bit more specific.

<Metal_Man88> *Waits patiently. But seemingly has an answer to that question too.*


<Dr. Donez> I would probably start a whole new section for it. I would have a link to 
the old questions, but this new page will be updated several times a week. 

<~Sean_Kelly> MetalMan what is your response?

<Metal_Man88> I would resurrect it even though I am not Donez. Donez would get a job 
for it as well. However I would not promise more updates than are likely from a person 
just to get elected; I would just make sure it was updated in a timely matter.

<~Sean_Kelly> One more question before we move to next portion of the debate.  How will 
you be better than the other candidates?

<~Sean_Kelly> MetalMan we'll start with you.

<Metal_Man88> I will be better by being more active. I beat them all to this meeting, 
and I am the only one so far with general election ads. I only make promises I can 
fulfill, and I keep my VP candidate within my party. I have inspired the others to mimic 
me, but don't be confused; they all are copying me because they couldn't compete 
otherwise.

<~Sean_Kelly> Donez, your response

<Dr. Donez> I will be better then the other candidates for several reasons: First of 
all I've been around NC longer than Metal Man has, longer than Wario and longer than 
others. I have a ton of experience. I will update not because I have to but because I 
want to! I will make sure NC Land is better and safer then it already is. 

(Hawkman flies in)

<~Sean_Kelly> Looks like someone else has arrived.  Introduce yourself.

<Hawkmouth> Hello. I'm Hawkmouth. I'm here debating for Wario, who couldn't make it for 
reasons known only for him. I believe that Wario will make an excellent choice for NC 
President because he has a lot of money. Money that he is willing to invest in schools, 
hospitals, and updates.

<~Sean_Kelly> Because, of Hawkmouth's arrival we shall ask one more question that was 
directed at Wario (hopefully he will be able to answer it).

<~Sean_Kelly> How do you plan to keep NC intact while using all of your gold?

<~Sean_Kelly> Hawkmouth, your answer

<Hawkmouth> Well, we can hopefully estabish a system of people to keep NC intact while 
Jay is away. Almost an "update potluck", if you will.

<~Sean_Kelly> What are the other candidates response to this?

<Metal_Man88> Wario's money is why we can't trust him. He will look to NC as a source of 
money.

Any money he invests will be combining private with public funds, which inevitably leads 
to his 'friends' getting the choice deals and being paid far more than they need.

<~Sean_Kelly> Hawkman, do you have a response to this accusation?

<Hawkmouth> Which is why, if elected, Wario will need a moderator. Someone who can 
prevent his funding money from getting wasted for personal gain. That is where the VP 
comes in.

<~Sean_Kelly> And response?

<Metal_Man88> Wario needs a moderator to stop him from doing this? So. You admit Wario 
will be corrupt unless controlled by someone else.

<~Sean_Kelly> This looks like a good time to start the free debate.  You have 10 minutes 
to just argu...talk about whatever you see fit...BEGIN!

<Dr. Donez> Okay
<Dr. Donez> So
<Dr. Donez> Wario cannot be trusted period?

<Hawkmouth> I didn't say that he would do that. I'm saying that he needs something or 
someone to prevent that if it ever did happen.

<Dr. Donez> So you don't trust him yourself, correct?

<Metal_Man88> You said he would need a moderator to prevent him from funding money to 
make his own personal gain. And now you admit it can happen. It shall never happen with 
me... and I would say Donez would be safe from doing it, too.

<Hawkmouth> Look, the chances of Wario doing something rash like that are a billion-to-
one. I'm just saying, it's good to have a plan.

<Metal_Man88> Right, right... besides, you will be around to protect us from Wario.

<Dr. Donez> Just remember, there's ALWAYS that small chance of it happening. Metal Man 
and I would never dare to touch the money.

And what if the plan doesn't work?

What would happen then?

<Metal_Man88> A good question. Maybe the plan could fail. Or maybe Hawkman is in on it.


<Dr. Donez> NC Land is already in a big economic situation, this could make matters 10 
times worse

<Hawkmouth> Trust me, as greedy as Wario may be, he wouldn't do something stupid that 
would get him impeached.

<Metal_Man88> He would only do smart things, which he would hope could evade our 
detection.

<Dr. Donez> Yeah

<Metal_Man88> Also, while the floor is wide open, we should have a VP-only debate, since 
Hawkmouth and my VP and possibly another VP could be in it.


<~Sean_Kelly> TIME'S UP!


<~Sean_Kelly> And that ends the free debate.

<~Sean_Kelly> We will have each candidates closing comments.  We shall start with 
MetalMan.

<Metal_Man88> As this debate has shown, Wario will be corrupt and probably use his 
money, unless stopped by Hawkman. But who knows if he's in on it, too? Reject the rich, 
extreme people. Instead, pick me! Also, we have seen Donez is somewhat alive, however I 
wish he would make more ads. I want a competitive election. ...Also 

I will bring more activity to NC, and it appears that it is now somewhat a race between 
me and Donez to see who can bring the most activity. May the best man win.

<~Sean_Kelly> Donez, your closing comments

<Dr. Donez> The debate was interesting, to say the least. If I am elected I promise to 
update Ask Dr. Donez, the comics, etc. And much much more. 

So good debate folks, and good night

<~Sean_Kelly> Finally, on behalf of Wario, here is Hawkman.

<Hawkmouth> While there have been beliefs that Wario will use his fund money for his own 
purposes, I'd like to state that this simply can't happen. Wario's money will be placed 
into a bank account that can only be accessed if the NC Senate agrees to it. The chances 
of Wario attempting to withdraw money are very slim, and the chances of a successful 
withdraw is impossible. The whole theory is nothing but paranoia. Good night, and good 
deb

<~Sean_Kelly> And that ends the 2008 NC Election debate.  Have a good night.

[23:02] <Dr. Donez> And a happy new year

[23:02] <Hawkmouth> And a merry Chrismas while you're at it.

THE END
