Welcome to the latest Whyville Senate
Debate, between sk87, Rhinoryan, Moocow007 and Ninja04!
|
|
City Hall
|
Hello Rebok!
|
|
City Hall
|
Nice to see one of our Senators is able
to join us, too
|
|
City Hall
|
Here's hoping that Rhinoryan will be able
to join us, too. Is there any trouble logging in?
|
|
City Hall
|
Has anyone seen Rhinoryan lately? (Don't
worry, all, we've had trouble getting all our candidates together
before -- and this time we have FOUR!)
|
|
City Hall
|
I'll do the introductions and let the
others do their opening statements first
|
|
City Hall
|
Okay, welcome everybody to the Whyville
Senate Debate! Ninja04 just stepped out (she'll be back), and we
haven't seen Rhinoryan just yet, but we're going to get started
now in the hopes he'll make it
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
The candidates are familiar with our
order, but I'll explain it to you all as real quick
|
|
City Hall
|
We'll start with opening statements by
each candidate. Then I'll ask each person 2-3 questions. Then
they'll get to ask each other a few questions. Then you'll get to
ask questions and I'll choose the ones the candidates answer.
|
|
City Hall
|
Finally, the candidates will give their
closing statements, and I'll leave -- they may stay to answer more
questions, but they do not have to stay.
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
We will start with the opening
statements from our candidates... sk87, will you please start us
off?
|
|
Sk87
|
I would like to thank all of my
supporters who got me where I am right now.
|
|
Sk87
|
Especially Troublenc who has always been
here.
|
|
Sk87
|
I hope you all will vote wisely.
|
|
Sk87
|
Also, good luck to all of the other
candidates.
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
Our next opening statements come from
Moocow007
|
|
Moocow007
|
It has been said that this senator race
has been by far one of the most interesting. I am very glad that I
got to parti
|
|
Moocow007
|
participate in it, and good luck to my
fellow canidates (:
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
And after that statement, we have
Ninja04!
|
|
Ninja04
|
Ok I would Like to thank all who voted
for me and I am very excited to be in the top four!! =D
|
|
Ninja04
|
I would like to give a speacial thanks to
Snikers00 and Candy7333!!
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
Before we move on to the questions, I
want to point out that even though Rhinoryan is not here, he may
still be a candidate
|
|
City Hall
|
We haven't had this situation before, and
there are no set rules about it. We'll see what the other CWs
think about it.
|
|
City Hall
|
Okay, on to our questions!
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
Our first question is for sk87
|
|
City Hall
|
Sk87, why have you so angrily accused
Ninja04 of "copying" ideas from other candidates? Why
can't they be good ideas which you both agree on?
|
|
Sk87
|
I noticed in MooCow007's platform she had
the face factory idea first.
|
|
City Hall
|
Going straight for the tough question...
|
|
Sk87
|
When Ninja04 rewrote her platform she
included it.
|
|
Sk87
|
It is a very good idea, I didn't mean to
be rude about it to her.
|
|
Sk87
|
I thought it was unfair to MooCow007 that
she had her idea used by another candidate.
|
|
Sk87
|
Sorry, if I was rude.
|
|
City Hall
|
Not at all. Mainly I want to understand
why using another person's idea is so frustrating to some folks.
|
|
City Hall
|
Your response helped. Thankyou! *claps*
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
Our next question is for Moocow007!
|
|
City Hall
|
You've suggested that we provide a "Save
As" feature for the Face Factory. This would take up a lot of
space on the server -- a saved part would be the same as a part
being worn in Whyville. Who would benefit from this?
|
|
Moocow007
|
Yes, I realize it would take up a lot of
space... in my platform I talked about how the servers reboot at
12:03pm and am
|
|
Moocow007
|
the person would have to finish their
work before those times
|
|
City Hall
|
It's not necessarily too much space, but
it has to be very valuable to be worthwhile. So we want to know
how valuable it would be
|
|
Moocow007
|
it takes a long time to make a face part
and it would help face part makers so that if they wouldn't have
enough time to
|
|
Moocow007
|
finish their creation, they would be able
to work on it later...
|
|
City Hall
|
Okay, thank you moocow007!
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
Our next question is for Ninja04!
|
|
City Hall
|
Your new platform shares many
similarities with your fellow candidates. What do you think is the
best idea that you added to your platform, and why?
|
|
Ninja04
|
I think that the Credit Card idea is the
best because ya know when ya have that face part that you want but
you just
|
|
Ninja04
|
don't have enough clams? Thats why I
wanted that idea to happen! And thats why its my favorite!! =D
|
|
Ninja04
|
Also it is educational (math)
|
|
City Hall
|
*claps* Good answers, ninja04
|
|
Ninja04
|
We would probably need a sponser to get
this though =\
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
Let's move back to Moocow007 for another
question
|
|
City Hall
|
Could you explain a little more the
difference between house guests like we have now, and your idea
about roommates?
|
|
Moocow007
|
all that house guests we have now can do
is get to the house they rent without cab fare
|
|
Moocow007
|
my idea of roomates would consist of the
person getting to help build the house and its interior
|
|
City Hall
|
Follow-up question: Would you then
suggest that houses have utilities & rent that the roommates
pay for together?
|
|
Moocow007
|
yes, they could split if fifty fifty
|
|
City Hall
|
*claps* Thank you, Moocow007!
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
Our next question is for ninja04!
|
|
City Hall
|
What other meetings would you suggest be
held at the Greek Theater? If you would like someone to organize
and run the meetings, how would you suggest they be paid for? (In
terms of real money, since adults usually need an income for that
sort of thing.)
|
|
Ninja04
|
Yes I would try to get someone
responsible enough that would actually run some meetings and the
meetings would be about
|
|
Ninja04
|
Current events in Whyville!!=D
|
|
Ninja04
|
Yes I would probably pay the person who
runs it!!
|
|
City Hall
|
*claps* thanks for your answers, Ninja04!
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
We have another question now, for sk87!
|
|
City Hall
|
How would you encourage new games to be
developed? Would you organize a movement to get more sponsors?
That's the best way to pay for a new game. What else would you do?
|
|
Sk87
|
I would maybe offer ideas to the CW's
about different games. If I was needed to "help" set it
up, I would try my best.
|
|
Sk87
|
Also, more sponsers would be a good idea,
to get the games going.
|
|
Sk87
|
Some of the Salary games are not in
effect anymore, so they could be deleted, possibly.
|
|
Sk87
|
I could only present the game ideas, not
exactly set them up.
|
|
Sk87
|
I would try my best to get them going, if
possible.
|
|
City Hall
|
Senators have helped us decide which
games to focus on, and other tools.
|
|
City Hall
|
*claps* Thanks sk87!
|
|
Sk87
|
Of course it would be educational
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
If people -- Senators or regular citizens
-- really want a game, all they have to do is find a company or
organization that will sponsor it in Whyville!
|
|
City Hall
|
Let's see... do we have time for another
question for me, or shall we move on to the candidates' questions?
|
|
City Hall
|
If you find a sponsor, email
city-management@whyville.net
|
|
City Hall
|
Okay, we'll move on to the candidate's
questions
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
Each candidate will go up and can ask
the other two candidates two questions total -- they can be for
both, or one person at a time.
|
|
City Hall
|
The first questions will be asked by
ninja04!
|
|
Ninja04
|
Ok my question's are for both.
|
|
Ninja04
|
Fist I would like to know why you guys
want to be a senator?
|
|
Moocow007
|
I want to be senator because Whyville has
given me so much over the years, and I would like to help give
back what I can
|
|
Sk87
|
I want to be senator because Whyville has
inspired me so much in many ways, I would like to help back, also
...
|
|
Sk87
|
I am always willing to help if anyone has
questions, if I becamse senator, no one would be afraid to
approach and ask.
|
|
City Hall
|
*claps* thanks for your answers!
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
Ninja04, do you have another question?
:-)
|
|
Ninja04
|
Yes
|
|
Ninja04
|
This is kinda rude but I have to find
out....
|
|
Ninja04
|
moocow007 are you realy babygraces other
account?
|
|
Moocow007
|
yes, it is my other account
|
|
City Hall
|
That doesn't seem rude to me. Is it?
|
|
Moocow007
|
I ran on that account first, but because
of all of the before 12pm's getting 911'd I didn't want to be so
behind so I ra
|
|
Ninja04
|
Ok I just had to know that **Sorry if
that was kinda rude
|
|
Sk87
|
Nope.
|
|
Moocow007
|
ran on this account also
|
|
Moocow007
|
sorry if anyone thinks I'm a cheater or
something
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
Okay, thank you for your answers
|
|
City Hall
|
Not at all! We have no rules against
anyone running again, from former Senators to former candidates.
|
|
City Hall
|
Okay, sk87, are you ready to ask your
questions?
|
|
City Hall
|
Well, it's your turn. ;-)
|
|
Sk87
|
Alright alright
|
|
Sk87
|
My question is for Ninja04.
|
|
Sk87
|
Okay, as in MooCow007's platform I saw
the Face Part Saving Idea...
|
|
Sk87
|
When you revised your platform you
included it
|
|
Sk87
|
Explain why you did this.
|
|
Ninja04
|
Yes, yes..Well when Snik and I were
revising the platfrom we didn't even think of it at the time
|
|
Sk87
|
I see.
|
|
Ninja04
|
By the way I am sorry if this hust
anyones feelings ;)
|
|
Sk87
|
okay, I understand :}
|
|
City Hall
|
*claps* thank you ninja04.
|
|
|
|
|
Sk87
|
Okay now my question for MooCow007
|
|
City Hall
|
sk87, you may ask your second question
|
|
Sk87
|
How would you construct the game you
suggested, chess, how would you sponser or get that programmed it
would take...
|
|
Sk87
|
up a lot of space in the server.
|
|
Moocow007
|
Do the other games have sponsors?... I
dont really know how that works
|
|
Sk87
|
Well, I mean, how would you get that done
to whyville.
|
|
Sk87
|
Chess is is very complicated.
|
|
Moocow007
|
A good idea for the pieces since it may
be hard to have the regular chess pieces could have pictures of
the object on it
|
|
Moocow007
|
instead
|
|
Sk87
|
Ahh okay.
|
|
City Hall
|
*claps* okay, thanks moocow007!
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
And now it's your turn to ask the
questions!
|
|
Moocow007
|
for sk87...
|
|
Moocow007
|
I am a bit confused by your disco idea,
can't other people go in the disco when it isn't booked
|
|
Sk87
|
Also, if we had them for 30 minutes, more
people could get in.
|
|
Sk87
|
Maybe for about once a week, Sunday, the
Disco could be open to the public for let's say an hour?
|
|
Sk87
|
This way, all of the people who never
experience our "party room" could get to try it.
|
|
City Hall
|
*claps* good answer, sk87
|
|
Ninja04
|
Sk87 thats a really good idea (Sunday
thing)
|
|
Sk87
|
:) Thanks :)
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
moocow007, do you have another question?
|
|
Moocow007
|
no, I'm finished
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
Ohhhhkay! Now it's time for YOUR
questions! Ask away and I'll throw the best questions on the
screen. While the candidates are answering, don't bother asking
until they're done.
|
|
BeeZD
|
For all three of you. What do you feel it
takes to become senator? Why?
|
|
Moocow007
|
I think it takes a lot of patience to
listen to everyone
|
|
Sk87
|
It takes responsibility, dedication, and
politeness, to help out you need to be respectuful and be willing
to
|
|
Ninja04
|
I think it takes a good attitude so your
not rude and courage(sp?) because you need to be able to chat with
other peopl
|
|
Sk87
|
It takes dedication, responsibilty, and
politeness, a good senator needs to have all of those traits, so
they can help
|
|
|
|
|
writing89
|
Question for all- Why can't whypasses
cost clamz instead of money?
|
|
Sk87
|
The server needs money to run this site.
Without it, the site would shut down.
|
|
Moocow007
|
Whyville needs money to buy computers so
our town can grow more
|
|
Ninja04
|
Well because it goes to the company
Whyville so they can afford the server and electric bill ;) lol
|
|
|
|
|
snikers00
|
Question for all- What do you think got
you all in the top 'four' other than the votes?
|
|
City Hall
|
Interesting question, snikers00!
|
|
Moocow007
|
Dedication
|
|
Sk87
|
Responsibility.
|
|
Ninja04
|
I agree with sk87
|
|
|
|
|
33Tigger3
|
As senator, what will you all tackle
first? Why do you feel this is important?
|
|
Moocow007
|
I think it would be nice to have
something done with the plots
|
|
Ninja04
|
I would tackle the Credit Card idea first
beacause I think it would be the most complicated
|
|
Sk87
|
It would be nice to have the petition
filter so that the petitions wouldn't clutter the servers.
|
|
|
|
willis4
|
For all, How much of an advantage do you think the deleted platforms gave you? If u feel it gave any at all...
|
|
City Hall
|
Fascinating question, willis4!!!
|
|
Moocow007
|
hmm
|
|
Sk87
|
As Moocow007 says, hmm...
|
|
Ninja04
|
Well kinda a lot because I am not very
well known and I think that is 1 of the reasons why I am on the
top 4
|
|
Sk87
|
There were still many other platforms,
although it could have helped, the leftover platforms had many
more votes
|
|
Moocow007
|
at first it was a disadvantage...
|
|
Sk87
|
then mine had before...I worked hard to
get the votes that I did.
|
|
Moocow007
|
I had to work hard to catch up since I
was a little behind the others
|
|
Sk87
|
Practically 18 hours a day :X
|
|
|
|
|
City Hall
|
Okay, two more questions and then it's
on to the closing statements!
|
|
City Hall
|
I'm seeing a lot of repeat questions....
|
|
City Hall
|
I believe snikers00 wants to know which
of your ideas you think is the most likely one to come true, to
actually be applied to Whyville
|
|
Sk87
|
Petition Filter
|
|
Moocow007
|
I think the chess game

|

City Hall
|
Good answers! All different -- that's
interesting.
|
|
City Hall
|
Okay, one last answer!
|
|
Zimmer12
|
If you could change anything about the
senate system what would it be?
|
|
City Hall
|
Great question, Zimmer12
|
|
Sk87
|
Having the platforms read over before
being accepted.
|
|
Moocow007
|
I love the idea of having the platforms
sent in a week early
|
|
Sk87
|
So no rude posts were already accepted.
|
|
Moocow007
|
it would eliminate inappropriate ideas
|
|
Moocow007
|
thought itd be hard for the city workers
to read...
|
|
Ninja04
|
No 911'ing reports by regualar citizens
more like Cw's could
