The camera pans out, and he frowns. "...Jail."
A laugh track plays and it switches back to the ordinary broadcaster, a blonde man with a strong jawline. "Sorry everyone, we thought after all his requests to host a show again we'd give him a few seconds for laughs. This is JTV, and I'm your host, Manny Anchor! Tonight, we're happy to announce Toro's next set of elections! Who will it be?"
The camera switches to his co-host, a young woman with a big smile on her face. "Gee Manny, I don't know. Maybe Premier Penn will be unseated by a better writing utensil!" A laugh track plays again, and Manfred laughs at the corny joke.
"Maybe Foreign Minister Tide will be washed away!" He looks directly at the camera and laughs obnoxiously.
"Maybe Arbiter Unterberg will..."
They both frown. Manfred offers, "Be... unter... feated?"
While it may not be occurring on television, a sad trombone does play inside your head at this.

Hi everyone! Sorry for the lame jokes, it's late for me right now and it's been a hectic few weeks for everybody. But, as the post suggests, Toro's elections are happening once more! We'll be following the procedure as we did last time. In terms of time, you'll be able to start officially campaigning as of this Sunday, 5/21, which is when we'll begin working with the candidates on the forum debate google doc as well. We'll be finalizing the debate google doc on the Wednesday after that. This is a more compressed timetable than usual due to the fact that elections had to be put off a bit anyway due to both player and stuff busyness with real life stuff (hi final exams). Voting will begin Friday or Saturday, most likely the former, dependent upon some administrative factors. We'll keep you posted, and candidates will be kept in the know on the forum debate and all- nobody's gonna be blindsided by a deadline, just be attentive and we'll of course be active in keeping in touch!
As for the forum debate, we'll also be taking question submissions for it as usual. This should all just be a recap anyway, but given I hadn't remembered it all I'm guessing at least someone else could use the refresher! Speaking of which, the position descriptions are http://www.toro-league.com/forum/viewto ... 150&t=2688 here!
With all that out of the way, if you'd like to register to run, please respond to this post, like in previous elections, with the form below:
