THSCC Forums

You have been warned.

At the club meeting Wednesday night we will take on the time-honored THSCC tradition of 2007 officer and staff nominations, aka Railroading. Someone please be sure to bring the whistle.

At the meeting, as part of my official position as Member-at-Large, I will open the floor for nominations of all elected positions. And some non-elected positions, even though we may change the list at will. And we may change our minds at any time.

The Members-at-Large have held a series of clandestine meetings to select those people whose lives we believe would be most adversely affected by nomination into the position. If you suspect that we may have selected you, it may be in your best interest to come to the meeting to cry, beg, and/or bribe us into being taken off the ballot. We both have Paypal accounts.

If you are not at the meeting, and the members and/or officers choose to pick on you, you will surely be nominated into every position available. If we really want to make your life hell, your name will be the only one listed for Secretary.

Following established guidelines (ie, do whatever we want to), the nomination list will be edited and available for vote at the Christmas party in December.

Please come with YOUR list of people who you want to see elected into positions in 2007. See y'all @ Rudino's!

It appears I am a victim of this time honored tradition of railroading. I talked to Ryan about it at the event, but just to be clear, I don't know who put my name on the ballot for Worker Coordinator, but just be clear to everyone, I am not interested in the position and never volunteered for it. I'd really appreciate it if people would respect that, Ryan told me he'd take my name off the ballot, and if whoever put me on initially would please NOT put me back on I'd appreciate it very much, this applies to other positions as well. Thank you.

Do you go to the club meetings? Nominations work like this:

Person A: "I nominate Person B for position X."

Either nothing happens, or you hear:

Person C: "I second the nomination."

Often you hear Person B say, "No way in hell."

Then you hear the president say, "Motion accepted."

It's that simple. The only part of the process that is a conspiracy is the general effort to get people on the ballot that don't want to be there, thus putting them in the hot-seat and making them uncomfortable. It's all in good FUN.

Read over the Donnie Barnes for President thread. If at the end of that thread you actually think that DB wants the job, and will get elected for the position, then I don't know what to say.

Last year Wes Eargle was on the ballot for every position available. The ballot included comments like:

Registrar (don't vote for Wes):
Amy Mindick
Wes Eargle

Needless to say, Amy won, however We still got a few votes

nope, I don't attend the club meetings, thats the primary reason for my concern. Perhaps its misguided, but Bernie was kind enough to alert me to the fact that someone had put me on the ballot for worker coordinator. If its just in good fun thats fine, my mistake, and I apologize for overreacting. I actually did seriously consider the position, but after talking to Bernie realized that it would severely detract from the one thing that I enjoy most about autocross, getting to spend some fun time with my wife doing something that we both enjoy very much.

Text is a very difficult medium to get sarcasm accross in, and I have (this time and many others) misunderstood the tone. I'm not angry about anything, I just wanna be sure that everybody knows I'm not interested in the position, and that nobody is expecting me to be worker coordinator next year as its a position I don't want to fill. This club exhibits a different kind of "good fun" than I'm used to, I'm still trying to figure it out. Sorry if I came off as harsh, just wanted to make it clear where I stood on that, thats all, heck, I don't mind if I'm actually elected, as long as its understood that voting for me for WC is like voting for Lewis Cheek for DA of Durham. . .

I don't know about the rest of you, but my votes will be cast for Wes Eargle and Brice Johnson for worker coordinators.

Yeah, whatever. I'm going to vote for Brice 4 times (all for worker coordinator).

Vote early, vote often!!!

Yes I voted against you joining the club.

Will we be selling extra ballots in addition to the raffle tickets this year?
