Crime & Punishment

That's something a pleb would say.
Pleb.

I nominate Siegfried Cohenberg and Strelok Cohenberg.

I would be lying if I thought anyone outside of myself, or of the Cohenberg Family would be a valid candidate for Chairman of the Bumper's Union. The Cohenberg Family has fairly and honorably executed their powers over the last year, and I would be humbled to be named buttslave of The Cohenberg Family in return for my endorsement.

I would like to nominate Siegfried as my first choice. His proven track record should be rewarded.

My second nomination would be for Holeysheet1. I feel if he won this position it may give him reason and purpose to undock and be more than "0" from gate or station.

Bumps the thread, because that's how good I am. My qualifications could go on for pages. I am a proud bump-kin, my pronouns are bumps/bumps/bumpself, I go bump in the night.

All of you are guilty of bump-kin cultural appropriation, and it ends now. This is a coup. I am making bumpself president. It is with great reluctance that I have agreed to this calling. I love democracy... I love the bumping. The power you give me I will lay down when this crisis has abated. I promise.

I also wish to nominate Veers Belvar.

To the mind that fails at fathoming the magnitude of his plan, his bumps seem totally pointless, nonsensical even.

But unlike Uprightness, Cohenburg or the other excellent candidates mentioned, he never stops bumping threads with his insanity. No ransom, no rhyme, no reason, just pure bumps for tears.

I was going to throw my weight behind Veers but then a truly amazing candidate stepped forward and took control of this situation. Tisiphone Dira has my full support and I endorse this candidate as the Bumping Queen

From the ocean of tears, a bumper-king arises.
I will second Kalorned's nomination. His efforts have thus far been a great inspiration to me and all my family.

As a second pick, Tisiphone Dira also had a very moving post.

May your bumps be swift and your prop mods forever warm.

Ladies and Gentlemen. o7

I feel that the board is in danger of being over represented by actual bumpers and not the bumpee. I therefore humbly nominate myself for a seat on the board, not chair. The Bumpee Rep.

I feel that a representation of those that are bumped, the bumpee, is a critical piece in this endeavor. How can any organization exist, as a board, without those they seek to serve being represented? They cannot!

I am a hauler, I have been bumped, and I have been ransomed and of course I have been forcibly removed from my freighter and pod throughout regular bumping activities. During these endeavors I have felt that I have been under represented by the committee and indeed the general activity.

I believe I can bring a few things to the board such as:

- Experience as a hauler (both bumped and un-bumped)
- A critical link between AG and bumpers - again a piece over looked
- Experience in what is 'the right amount' of ransom
- An understanding of what those being bumped may experience pre, during and post bump

My main agenda, if given a seat, will be three things:

- To ensure a fair experience for all participating in the bump
- To represent the board in such places as AG, HC and indeed 'local'
- To maintain CCP's intent for emergent gameplay and choice across New Eden.

I feel that representing those being bumped (pre/during/post) is where I have the most effective utility and of course educating the bumper and the bumpee of potential consequences of their actions. I feel that as a hauler, those haulers that choose to vote should seriously consider getting behind me, as should the customers, whos goods they haul.

I stand for all that is webbed, webs, insta-undocks and of course hauls. I am happy to have an alt represent my seat at the table if any party is concerned by my affiliation, but this will need to be considered by the board, if required (I believe my unbiased attitude will dictate it not required)

My lack of shirt is a mere after-result of a heavy night drinking rum and hauling...... I seek it's absence stricken from the representation process.

I also seek to nominate, as my second - Siegfried Cohenberg - we have a history of ensuring a fair an equitable process for those that bump or be bumped. I acknowledge his intent to manage the 'do not bump list', but will see to pass a motion that I have both access and auditing rights, conducting an audit on an as required basis.
