City Hall: Sonner, please take a seat, and BabyPowdr, you are up to ask questions to the other candidates.
BabyPowdr: i think bo went first so i'll ask him
BabyPowdr: how many poeple do you think can make bank accounts? how much space is this going to need?
Brian98: Is that for me?
City Hall: Brian98, please come here to this podium to answer this question.
neutral: yes brian
BabyPowdr: yeh it was

Brian98: I think that everyone should at least get a bank account or should work for one in some way. It's a good way to help you
City Hall:  The question was: how many people do you think would be able to make bank accounts?
BabyPowdr: i agree, but would it replace the ploits say?
BabyPowdr: sorry oops, that was only s';posed to be one question ^-^
Sonner: PLOITS IS PLOTS, JUST A TYPO

City Hall: BabyPowdr, do you have a question for Sonner?
BabyPowdr: yes, Sonner... 
Sonner: Okie dokie lol
Brian98: Thanks for supporting me everyone!!

BabyPowdr: uhhm... what do you think you can do about "loookism".. I ask this becuase i know you are veteran and the new poeple thi
Sonner: lookism?
BabyPowdr: think we look funny
BabyPowdr: like, prejudice on "virtual faces"
Sonner: o ok i get it looks right?
Sonner: Well it's very rude for people to make fun of newbies because of they way they look
Sonner: Howvever people have asked me if I was a girl at times LoL which I found funny
BabyPowdr: i agree
Brian98: I don't call them Newbies..
Sonner: Well
BabyPowdr: lol
Sonner: uh the chat filtet
Sonner: sorry city hall the chat filter blocked it out can i say it again
City Hall: Please finish. go ahead.
Sonner: ok
Sonner: Well I just think newcomers or anyone for that matter should just not pay attention to those people because they have no
Sonner: nothing better to do with their time.. who knows maybe their jealous?
BabyPowdr: lol, awesome
Sonner: I like the idea of newbie days
BabyPowdr: thank you

City Hall: Okay, thanks. Now it is Brian98's turn to ask questions.
BabyPowdr: awwh, thanx *tear*
Sonner: P.S. I LOVE UR GOATEE BP
City Hall: Please ask away!
BabyPowdr: lol.. *strokes gatoee*

Brian98: Ok, Sonner. What do you think about the New Face Factory concern. Should everyone be able to use it?
Brian98: Or should it be a privilage?
Sonner: Of course people should be able to use it 
Sonner: I like the idea of having Grenouille maybe only open on Mondays and Fridays therefore he has more time to accept parts
Sonner: Also I heard people can design face parts if you buy a why pass too 
Brian98: Yes, same here
BabyPowdr: awesome
Sonner: So just buy a lifetime Why Pass and make all the parts you want it's really worth it because you make lots of clams
Brian98: Ok. Thank you!
City Hall: Thank you for plugging WhyPasses for us!
City Hall: :)
Sonner: It's really worth the clams you make trust me

City Hall: Okay, Brian98, a question for BabyPowdr, please?
Brian98: BP, Do you any plans if you get elected to fix the plots? 
BabyPowdr: actually, no... i'd like to see them taken awya except for old town
Sonner: Thanks to my supporters
BabyPowdr: i want to clear that space out for more games and cahtrooms
BabyPowdr: and maybe just have old town filled with it's original citizens and forget teh plots
Brian98: That is a good idea
BabyPowdr: thank you :)
Brian98: Good Job Sonner and BP
BabyPowdr: or maybe whypass holders could buy plots or something.. i unno
BabyPowdr: the space would be handy.,..
Sonner: Plots were always free to my knowledge lol
neutral:  thanks, candidates
BabyPowdr: but i meant buy it with the whypass... part of teh package :)

City Hall: thank you. Good show, candidates.
BabyPowdr: thanx
City Hall: Now, I will ask each of you a question. You will each have 90 seconds to respond.
BabyPowdr: ok
Sonner: Thanks City Hall and the people who voted for me
BabyPowdr: like Jeopardy... w00t!
Brian98: Sounds like a plan CH
City Hall: BabyPowdr, you are first. Please take the podium.
BabyPowdr: i;ll take politics for a thousand cityhall...
BabyPowdr: oops lol

City Hall:  In real life, reporters are expected to steer clear of politics, let alone run for office, so that they can stay objective as reporters.
BabyPowdr: :)
BabyPowdr: well..
City Hall: As a Times Reporter and a candidate, what do you think of that? If you become Senator, would you stop reporting for a while? 
City Hall: Or how would you stay impartial?
BabyPowdr: it is true i can get worked up over things...
BabyPowdr: but i could report on non political issues, non?
BabyPowdr: writing without a bias is hard for me, but it's a learning oppurtunity, adn that's what whyville's about, right?
City Hall: Possibly. Do you think in general that perhaps reporters should not participate in politics?
BabyPowdr: if they can do it without being biased, all teh power to them, but some should steer clear
City Hall: Okay, thank you.

City Hall: Brian98, you are next. Please take the podium
Brian98: hehhe D'oh
City Hall:  In your interview with our current senator, you referred to her as "buddy old pal Oreo". Should we worry about the senate becoming a friends' clique if you are elected? What would you do to avoid the potential problems?
City Hall:  Should we worry about the senate becoming a friends' clique if you are elected? What would you do to avoid the potential problems?
Brian98: Oreo is one of my best friends on Whyville and I don't think anyone should worry about it because we will still work as.
Brian98: ...as a team. 
Brian98: Anyways people who are friends work together fantasticly!

City Hall: Okay. Now for Sonner.
Sonner: Okie dokie
City Hall:  You mentioned that you would like Akbar to reduce his production prices because many designers, including yourself, are losing money. But there are many businesses making thousands of clams a week.
Brian98: HEY EVERYBODY AND THANKS FOR YOUR VOTES AND SUPPORT
Sonner: Cant see the rest
City Hall:  Perhaps your products could just be better? Isn't this what free market and competition is all about?.
Sonner: Possibly, but people like SuPaGurLe are losing thousands of clams when she has great face parts
Sonner: Including me it costs about 20,000 clams to restock now and that's insane especially for someone who just started making
City Hall: Maybe her prices are too high? Or not enough marketing?
Sonner: Hmmm
Sonner: I don't want it to go back to 2 clams each but more like 2, 5 ,10 and 15
Sonner: Just to give new designers a chance to succeed in the face part business
Sonner: It's not fair to people who haven't been on long enough to make that many clams
City Hall: Okay, thank you. Good answer.
Sonner: ok thanks for the question
Brian98: Good answer. Hahah it's like Famuily Feud
Brian98: except without the family XD

City Hall: I think it is now time to take some questions from the audience.
Sonner: we should let the citizens ask more questions
Brian98: GO AUDIENCE YOU ROCK!
City Hall: Does anyone have questions for the candidates?
Sonner: I'm sure all you people do

sMaRtleS: Some people say that elections are solely based on popularity, what is your view on this?o
Sonner: All of us?
sMaRtleS: Yes, all of you.
Brian98: I can take that'
City Hall: yes, candidates, just answer, and I will post your answere one by one
BabyPowdr: I belioeve some are, but i am not popular. I didnt get here today becuase people like me... i dont believe
Sonner: Me next?
Brian98: I think people vote on the people who stand out and have good ideas. We all stand out (Bp's articles, Sonner's Face part
Sonner: People have said to me that I was only getting votes because I looked good but tonight I'm trying to show that I can be
Brian98: ..and we have great ideas that would fufill Whyville
BabyPowdr: thats true, we all go out adn do things, active citizens i think you call it
BabyPowdr: we've all written adn article atleast right? been to media hour, trivia, made face parts, solstice teams...
Sonner: But tonight when you can see me in person I'm trying to show that I am not here for looks I'm here because I am smart
Brian98: Yeah,most of us attend Trivia and Media Hour, are involed in Smart Cars and Solstcie and have all written articles
Sonner: I attend Trivia and am #1 in the smart car top 10 right now which shows I am an active Whyvillian with a good salary

8Dyay8D: For those of you that want to kill plots, do you plan on reimbursing those that spent many clams on their plots?
BabyPowdr: the plots are free in teh firts place, it's bricks you buy

kc12: Do you really think demolishing the plots are fair? I mean people have spent a lot of clams buying paint and bricks..
BabyPowdr: yes and i ahve too, i have a 11 room house or somethign like that (cant see them all) and i'll miss my house but the spa
BabyPowdr: space is valuable
8Dyay8D: yesh, but bricks and furniture can cost a lot.

koalsie: do u believe that we should have multiple senators and why?
Sonner: Of course because then we can have different people's opinions and share our thoughts to each other rather than b
Brian98: I think we should because different people have different ideas and persepctives about Whyville. 
Sonner: being a single senator, you learn about others people thoughts instead of going on instinct
City Hall: The server where our faces sit must be down, which means that newcomers into the room would have newbie faces. It'll take about 10 minutes to come back up.
BabyPowdr: having a senate of mnany senators will help get more done, different poeple, different backgrounds, ages, race,.. gander
Sonner: You can fall froward instead of backwards if you have other senator's backing you up

naeZ21: What is your viewpoints on the new advertising by google in whyville?
BabyPowdr: i dont like it, but if we need it, we should have it., maybe teh ads could be geared for kids tho o.O
BabyPowdr: we all want to keep whyville running
Sonner: I have no problem with it if it helps Whyville out. But I read an article saying they saw an innapropriate add and that'
Brian98: I think they are good but they have to be relating to things that kids do nothing inapporpate
Sonner: is unnacceptable for google to put innapropriate adds on Whyville
BabyPowdr: "are you a dad to be? click here"
Sonner: It's very unnaceptable on a kids website
BabyPowdr: thats not a good ads for kids
Brian98: I agree,
City Hall: Unfortunately, google has no way of knowing that we are a site for kids.
BabyPowdr: maybe... like "hotwheels cars, new models!" would be okay
BabyPowdr: oh, yeh that too :(
Brian98: lol Hot wheels
savvvy: theres no way for whyville to censor them?
City Hall: No, the ads don't pass through our servers first.
Sonner: Can you delete innapropriate ones?

figgy45: HOW DO ALL OF YOU PLAN TO KEEP YOUR PROMISIS?
City Hall: Okay, here is a great question that I think each of you should answer in order.
BabyPowdr: i only made one promise, adn thats my word that i'll try my best
Sonner: They are not really promises they are more like idea's
City Hall: Brian98, what do you say?
Sonner: They are idea's you have for Whyville and I will try to accomplish as many as I can if elected senator.
Brian98: I think they are idea's too. some of mine won't work out, so I can't promise them. The bank is one of my big promises..

City Hall: Okay. I think we need to wrap up now. I will bring the candidates up one at a time for a closing statement.
City Hall: Sonner, you go first. You have 60 seconds.
City Hall: Please take the other podium.

Sonner: I can't promise everything in ym platform but I would love to have a times building interior to encourage readers to 
Sonner: To encourage readers to read the Times so vote for me and you won't be disappointed you'll see results
