You know, there's not a lot of action in here....so let's change that with a small discussion.
If the 13 original avatars ran for office, which would you vote for, and what do you think their positions would be, based on what you've seen of them just in the comic? Any of the 13 are certainly welcome to lay out their positions for us.
-------------------- I'm alive. The rest is just detail.

"Candidate Quacky, wha is your official stance concerning he issue of sheep. And what are your proposals concerning truffles? The public would lilke to know"

I like truffles! I love sheep! But only just to count at sleep
So don't get vulgar! Don't get crude! Keep things PG-13, dude!

I would like to vote for Quacky, but I am afraid that there are some who have not seen your enlightened Truth! Please, show me the Way that I can bring the Light to these poor sufferers! For certainty, there must be some who are in the midst of moral decay and are thinking of voting for Val. Please, tell me how I may ease their plight and show them the Light of Quacky!

Quacken-Howdy, why is Val running too?
That's not fair. She already gets all the attention. Why does she have to run for the same thing I'm running for?
Hey Benor, what am I running for again?

Until that disasterous Big Brother chat I saw recently, I would've voted Pigham. This is assuming a presidential position is in question.
So as a more level headed choice, I'd vote Wendy. She seems to be the only one who really has it together out of the thirteen now. Maybe Mu or Zen as vice president.
Why not the others for prez?
Pigham: Though intelligent, his lurid social side and overwhelming obsessions would make for a poor presidential choice. His reign would be constant scandals and cover ups. I see him as the new Nixon. Pigham should not be involved in power at all, but I can see him greedily holding onto a senator position.
Zen-Dao: He's not dumb by any degree, but Zen's got a lot to learn in life still. Mostly about himself. His intuition seems very good at times but when his confidence is broken he's got nothing. Also, he has something of a wandering eye making him more akin to a Kennedy way of things. Maybe as a vice president.
Quacky: Too young! Too excitable! Too much to learn. Quacky wants without being able to really handle things like responsibility. Give Quacky sprites, not presidential nominations. Or maybe he walks the presidential dog/cat.
Bruno: I'm not under the impression he'd even be interested in such a demanding high import life. I think he'd rather enjoy life than try to rule it. But who knows? We've never had a very laid back down to earth president, which is sort of how I imagine he could be. Although not of the 13, Cruiser would be a good vice president for him.
Hollis: Church and state need to stay SEPERATE. He might make for a good classic style upstanding law man, but I think we've gotten a good taste of religion in the whitehouse. Such 'good intentions' become quick oppression. He could run up an ethics committee or law enforcement bureau, but not work with the FCC.
Val: Mercurial, whimsical, hotheaded, and powerful. She might make for an interesting president, but she's shown she loses control of herself and while powerful, sometimes lacks the discipline that even Zen Dao occasionally shows. She might make a good vice president though, if she could tolerate being second banana for any length.
Mu: Mu doesn't care about anything. He's completely ill fitting for anything beyond an advisory position. And you can't bully other nations to agree with your insight by 'thwapping' their leaders over the head. As vice president, one would hope he'd just run things with a detached hand for a short time til the next election.
Sevrin: Sevrin's a lapdog, not a leader. Further, he's about violence and not much else. Sevrin's better as secret security.
El Roar: Too scheming and behind the scenes, the kind who would run an underground shadow government for his own gain like some Illuminati wannabe. Forced into the spotlight, I'd say head of CIA is more his position, or Secretary of Defense.
Waldo: I imagine Waldo's reign as being with an intensely weak foreign policy, with an administration being ruled from under him. He lacks leadership material, and doesn't really belong in power positions that focus much on him to deal with others.
Furilius: On the basis he knows pretty much everything when he needs to, he could be very good, save his interest is so financially absorbed, while we might enjoy a better economy and job market, one can't be assured of his decisions being entirely beneficial, or that he wouldn't make jobs overseas to be cost effective. Furilius would do well in a trade commission, where he could focus on his merchant skills.
Manchia: Manchia doesn't belong in power at all, despite any pretensions he has. He'd run the place into the ground for a good laugh, kick backs, and a little intern action. I think the best he could pull is something like Oliver North. Beyond that, working as a spy for the CIA.

Indeed? *writes it down*
Candidate Quacky, I am appalled that such an important question such as the issue of Sheep, fairly important to the Falklan islands, was turned into such an inappropriate ditty! I am afraid it may cost you your candidacy amidst the more discerning ovine population.
Now, Mr. Quacky, do you have any comments on the allegations run by the difamation campaign against you by your political opponent, who claims that you are unfit for your candidacy due to your propensity for political fowl play? The public wants to know!
Furthermore, do you have any message to the Anatidae youth out there concerning the racially-charged message of such tales as "The Ugly Duckling", who cast such a tainted view of duckdom in general in favor of the Cygnus, which is clearly a political maneuvre on their behalf to promote racial discrimination? the public wants to know!
((OOC: You know, since Pingu isn't around that much, SOMOEONE has to ask these sorts of questions))

And when did I become the campaign manager?

Hey, what about the Avatars that came after the thirteen originals? I find this highly dissatisfieing and thus I also have chosen to run for presidency.

So many candidates Benor but whom to trust with such great power.
Who has the ego sufficient to the task.
Tempered by the moral compass to guide them.
The the strength of character to follow it ?
And the humility to recognize that the task is too large for one person to be all and end all alone.
Who ?

Charisma, flair, poise, grace and style
Charm that lasts for quite a while
Slicked back hair unlike all other's
Speech that parallels great writer's
A handsome grin upon his face
And did I mention his style and grace?
All these add up.. it goes to show.
I cast my vote for Quacky!...... NO!
My choice for salesfox, I salute.
Don't argue with the purple suit.

My vote would be for Master Mu. His exquisite lack of desire to perform the function of being president of The Dream makes him perfect for it. Or Dok, but he's already the Czar... although his track record of non-involvement (and non-concern) in political matters is attractive.

If Quacky would turn the Dream into Duck Soup, I doubt Gumbo Masta would be any better!
But I want to know about the issues!
What are the candidates stances on Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners? How do they feel about duck-hunting season? Voting and migrating rights for waterfowl? Why they have a loon instead of a duck on the Canadian dollar?

Everyone knows turkey is traditional. It's Wabbit Season! I think we can guess. That's cause Canucks are looney.

Marc: We'd vote for Wendy!
Siya: That's right. She seems to be the most level-headed of all the avatars....at least right now, she does.
Marc: And she's a patron of the arts!
Siya: Heh....we couldn't ignore something like that....
