A random assortment of reports, thoughts, ramblings and information. Pretty much a view inside my wonderfully complicated, sometimes broken, and entertaining mind.
getDare's Democratic Royal Court
A few years ago, ispuds ran the official getDare Presidential Election. Lola.fox won (by a very slim margin) and became the first getDare president. She has done such a wonderful job that we couldn't possible think of removing her from her position. Instead, I think it is time that getDare elects an official King and Queen!
That's right, I said elects. For getDare is a democracy, and the people of getDare should get to choose their King and Queen.
So how does this work?
Nominations
All candidates MUST be nominated by somebody else. You cannot self nominate. So if you have a friend, partner or even just somebody you look up to who you think would be perfect for this title, feel free to nominate them in the comments of this blog. Of course, all nominees have the right to turn down the nomination.
Deadline to nominate: September 10, 2018
Queen or King?
Each nominee may only run for one position. The reason we are choosing a Queen and King is to try and keep the votes fair. Last time we saw that the woman won by a landslide and had a clear advantage. That being said, we want to be as fair and inclusive as possible, so if you are nominated, please feel free to choose which role you feel most comfortable fulfilling.
Campaigns
After all of the candidates have been nominated and accepted, the campaigns will begin. An official campaign thread will be opened to announce the candidates and begin the bartering and bantering to secure votes.
Each candidate will be required to post a blog introducing themselves to getDare, explaining why they should win and outlining their campaign. Just like any political election, the candidates are encouraged to promote themselves, slander their opponents (playfully and harmlessly) and make "promises" (ie. spankings, tasks, etc.) to the members of getDare.
All promises and deals MUST be fulfilled when the election ends. The candidates can choose to make these deals privately, or post public offers. The promises can be based on the condition of winning (ie. If I win I will ...), or simply cost a vote (ie. For every vote I receive I will ... or If you vote for me I will ...).
Each candidate can recruit up to three members to join their campaign team. The campaign team may also provide promises and offers to secure votes. They must also be fulfilled after the voting has ended.
Forfeits
Once each nominee has accepted, they must send an PM to the official Royal Court Advisor (that's me!) with a forfeit. This forfeit can be anything at all: an edge bank, a certain length of denial, a photo idea for exposure etc. If the candidate does not win, they will need to go forward with their forfeit. Forfeits will remain private until the voting has ended.
Election
The vote will happen on October 1 and will remain open for 7 days. Two separate polls will be opened.
The Winners
The winners will:
The Losers
The losers (anybody who is not the two winners) will:

The Winners
The winners will:
- Be allowed to choose a custom title
- Gain entry to the Dungeon for a two month reign
- Have the power to assign 1000 edges and 1000 spanks divided amongst the election losers
- Fulfill all promises and offers that they negotiated, both publicly and privately, in their campaign
- And will have the ultimate bragging rights!
The Losers
The losers (anybody who is not the two winners) will:
- Write a concession blog congratulating the winner on their victory
- Complete the edges and/or spanks assigned to them by the winner before being allowed their next orgasm
- Complete their forfeit and report on it in the official election thread
- Fulfill all promises and offers that they negotiated based on VOTES only (ie. For every person who votes for me, I will edge once)
Who should be our Queen and King???

No, I am not going to place a limit on how many people can be in the running, however if there are more than 5 or 6 for each category then I will probably have a prelimanary vote to try and get the pool smaller as I think that will be easier to manage.
All nominees have until Sept 10 to accept. I will post a list soon with who has been nominated so far and mark whether they have accepted or declined.
Whoops... I started the trend of nominating one for each category. I'm sorry...Posted 08-31-2018 at 08:09 PM by Blue Fox

I nominated IHeartFun for Ly Ph first in that post too, who has yet to respond. I understandQuote:Originally Posted by LitDarkness
I don't know if I could accept this or not since you already nominated someone though he declined.
I would have to think on it anyhow. Haven't been active lately.
Gosh, that list almost makes me want to change and accept. Almost.Quote:Originally Posted by Butterfly

1. nina@ accepts her nomination if she isn't too busy etc.
and
2. because she is a fine queen already, if I get to run as getDare King. Might be a long shot, but a lottery's chance is still a chance, of being crowned with her
#soWorthit
P.S. I know what some may think... but the Queen piece is stronger than the King is, in chess

Joanna, In my opinion you can't run as king if you identify as female as it is unfair for the guys and this category was created solely to address to the problem that females get more attention
Secondly you are free to decide to contest for the queen irrespective of my decision to run or not.
Thanks Butterfly for the reply. I will let you know what I decide within the deadline.Posted 08-31-2018 at 11:20 PM by nina@

Secondly you are free to decide to contest for the queen irrespective of my decision to run or not and even as my competitor if I choose to run as it would be fun and the fact that you are my sub isn't a barrier in that case.
Thanks Butterfly for the reply. I will let you know what I decide within the deadline.
A girl can dream, huh?
If you choose to run then maybe I'll join as one of your three campaign staff, to be your Campaign Media Manager.

I can only wonder oftentimes too. Most of what I do is created in the moment usually from start to finish in one sitting. I follow my heart and inspiration and am often pleasantly surprised by the results, because even though I expect well it often surpasses my expectations, which is wonderful. It is a blessing I appreciate and share...
