[Alright, now that the dust has settled after Oswald's first ever experiment, it's time for him to get down to business. First things first, and that's getting in touch with the Malnosso CEO. Filters? Nope, never heard of that. Oswald's calling him out publicly.]

Hey, I'm looking for this guy calling himself Catherine. Ya know, the big chief ( Read more... )

mayor also means mascot, oy catherine, figurehead means mascot

Because there's always going to be a group of people who'd go against the figurehead, so what's the point?

[Voice] kingofwaste February 6 2011, 13:56:30 UTC

You mean like... a rebellion? Well, geez, obviously that'd mean you need a figurehead with more authority. And who can make better choices. Then nobody would want to go against him.

[Voice] perplex_me February 6 2011, 21:27:59 UTC

Not exactly a rebellion, but just people...actually, yeah. Yeah, like a rebellion if they're led by somebody who's headstrong. I don't think it matters what kind of figurehead there is. There's always going to be somebody who goes against them, just because they can.

[Now he's reminded of Pegleg Pete and the Mad Doctor.] Hmm... I guess that's true, yeah. I was hopin' maybe things would be different in this world.

Because nobody is going to elect a mayor they don't know, and there isn't a single person here who knows everybody.

... That's a fair point. Okay, what if everyone does a promotional campaign, right? Tells a little bit about themselves? There can be posters and flyers, and every candidate can explain why he should be mayor.

[Female mayors? Hahah, not in Oswald's mind. He's from the thirties, where women clean and bake pies.]

We could do that, but with the election of a mayor that just opens up a whole new slew of problems.

Would there be laws? Policies? People to uphold those laws and policies? And with the threat of our mayor or law-keepers suddenly vanishing as they're kidnapped or returned home, we'd have to have a huge pool of people that could fill in at a moment's notice.

There's a guy named Catherine? [There's a quiet snort.] No wonder he doesn't come out much.

kingofwaste February 6 2011, 13:51:10 UTC

Yeah, I thought that was a pretty strange name too. Apparently it's not his real name, but if you get to choose a new name for yourself, why not something... better?

[Not that Haine can really judge... he's talking to a cartoon rabbit...]

Because he's a dumbass with no imagination?

kingofwaste February 8 2011, 19:36:27 UTC

Or maybe he's just trying to confuse us. And now he's sittin' there, laughing at us because we're actually trying to figure it out.

But what if we end up needing one after all? Then we'll all be wishing we elected one when we had the time.

... Uhm. Well, they're neutral, for one. So when there's two villagers havin' an argument, the ruler can decide how to settle it. And when an outside source tries to make contact with us, the figurehead can speak with it in all our behalves, ya know?
