ISLAS Elections: the Candidates

The pre-election times in ISLAS are a season for unity. Unity of the discordant sort. Clashes of interest, clashes of opinion fill the air in these joyful times. Friends become temporary enemies, support for some candidates flames wildly and for others, well, it is sadly lacking. Elections are a time for blackmail, overabundance of colorful signatures and avatars, cheesy nonsensical slogans, bribery, and flat-out shameless advertisement of self. Some find it unbearable and tedious. Others find it amusing and comical. All agree, though, that ISLAS elections are filled with enthusiasm and push up thread creation and post rates to a ridiculous high.


Fun as they are, the elections usually last only a few months, at the most, and, by the end, everyone is happy that they are finally over. Relief abounds and everything goes back to normal.


Today, we will give you an overview of the candidates. There are four campaigns, and a fifth has been rumored; we will cover all of them.


DenHoed and DenHoed. The supposed embodiment of the confusion in today's ISLAS. The fight of man against man. Jekyll and Hyde.


Geleynse and Bertilson. Their campaign is filled with themes of unity. Races of all sorts, uniting for one cause. They are a favorite among the pirates.


De Salsa and Bertilson. MP3 player and man, running together. Not much has been heard from this campaign, so, until we have more to go on, we will not be giving our readers much more information.


Taylor and Jaramillo. Not much has been heard from this campaign, either. One signature, though, has given us a little to run on. They are the ones for Prokofiev and goat lovers everywhere.


The rumored campaign, which has not been officially announced, but many claim to have heard about, is the Hunter and Hilton campaign. Since nothing is out in the open about this supposed campaign, we do not have anything to help our readers decide whether these two are their folks. We apologize for any inconvenience.


Also, we would like to thank Mr. Speare for pointing out our error in the previous article. The campaign is de Salsa-Bertilson, not only Bertilson. We are sorry for any confusion this oversight may have caused.

You forgot the Hunter-Regentin campaign! But, as your trusted hopeful VP-to-be, I am a very forgiving person. You, whoever you maybe, are forgive for forgetting. Maybe you could write a scoop about us now, eh?
