My nomination post for LJAB
I forgot to LJ-cut it. I wonder if they will take it as it is and then I can edit it.
Greetings, LiveJournal.
I hereby nominate myself, Kou, to the LiveJournal Advisory Board.
I make no assertions about my qualifications for this post or my policy positions. My personal character is your guess.
If I am A WINRAR successfully nominated to final elections for the 2009-2010 LiveJournal Advisory Board, the first 350 people to have provided a valid nomination will be qualified to receive a piece of chocolate1. This chocolate will be mailed to you2. Currently, this is a 15g (.528 oz) individually wrapped piece of Ghirardelli Luxe Milk Hazelnut but may be substituted with other sweet things3.
You will be eligible to receive one piece of real, IRL, nom nom noms for each unique qualifying vote of support in the nomination process, if 300 are recorded in total. If you have sockpuppets, you can receive one for each sockpuppet. In this case, you will have to contact me from each sock account to verify, and provide an address to combine shipping.
I have the financial and logistical resources to support fulfillment of this obligation, should it be incurred, and expect to be able to meet a full demand for redemption. This includes an executive membership to Costco, transportation, postage meter, bubble mailers, and label printer.
In the case that I am nominated, additional incentives will also be provided to actually vote for me for double the epic win.
You should support me because it your winning strategy to do so.
Given that you gave everything to gain and nothing to lose, the expected outcome if you support is chocolate*P(nom), where P(nom) is the probability of nomination and chocolate is the reward. If you don't support, your chances of winning are zero. The Nash equlibrium is to vote in support, and game theory predicts that most of your colleagues will do the same.
Even if you do not believe I should serve on the Advisory Board, you will be able to vote accordingly in the second round.
Kou is not joking about the chocolate. I am serious about this position. You have 24 hours to WIN chocolate. Nominate now. Nominate early. Nom nom nominate often.
Believe it or not, this is actually legal.
OFICIALS RULEZ
1. Requests for chocolate must be received by Kou via LiveJournal Inbox Message within 5 calendar days after the list of eligible candidates is declared, or by 27 May 2009, whichever occurs first, and by 17:00:01 (5:00 PM) U.S. Mountain Time (UCT-7) of that day. Kou is not responsible for late, misdirected, or illegible requests, loss or damage of materials in transit, acts of Gods or other circumstances beyond his control.
2. Eligible shipping addresses must be within the United States, Canada, Australia, UK, and Japan.
Bribe is non-transferable unless permitted by request. The address supplied must be an address where you receive mail; I will not mail to random people, the White House (unless you work there), celebrities (unless you are famous), etc.
3. Chocolate bribe has no cash value and may be substituted with another chocolatey item of equal or similar value at Kou's discretion. No cash substitution allowed. Not responsible for weight gain resulting from consumption of chocolates or any incidental damages. For tax purposes, the value of the chocolate bar is approximately 0.30$ (thirty cents) USD.
DESU.
