Breaking News: MCYTblr Election

by beacon-lamp, Updated October 13, 2020 

On October 12, 2020, tumblr user @adhddream announced their bid for presidency of MCYTblr.  In any other fan community, this announcement would have perhaps elicited a few laughs, but would have ultimately been an insignificant and forgotten about in a few hours.  However, MCYTblr is just Built Different.  The post gained traction and multiple members from all parts of mcytblr, from dteamblr to sleepyblr to hermitblr, began announcing their bid for candidacy that evening, because no one had anything better to do on a Monday night.

It has been less than 24 hours since the event spontaneously began and there are already too many candidacies to keep track of.  Luckily, a blog dedicated to compiling the list of people running and their policies, because this is Completely Normal Behavior.  Notably, an Anarchy Party has emerged from this election chaos and I have been told that some members of the party have begun to acquire worryingly large amounts of TNT.  There are also rumors of an assassination plot, as well as a rebellion, being planned but nothing has been solidified at this time.

Given that there are still people roleplaying in the reblogs of a textpost I made last night, it is likely that this election will not lose traction any time soon.  However, very few logistics of this event have been made clear to the public, but here is what we know so far:

The requirements for candidacy in this election are: a president, a running mate, a [Some Word]2020 campaign name, and 7 policies.  Posters, logos, and political ads are not necessary but highly encouraged.  Please contact @mcytblr-elections once your candidacy has been officially announced so that they can keep track.  The candidacies will be narrowed down to 7 parties, which will be listed on the official ballot.  The vote is rumored to occur in 1 week, but further clarification will be needed.  It is also unclear how the 7 final parties will be determined.

Lastly, participants are also being asked to tag any posts related to the election as “#mcytblr elections”.  If you would like to never hear of this election again (and no one would blame you), consider blocking the tag.  

Please check back later for more updates on the election.

Disclaimer: For legal reasons, everything stated above is a Joke.  This is not a Legitimate Election for any office of value.  The results of this election will likely have No Consequences or Effect on this community.  Any political conversations are purely roleplay because everyone in mcytblr apparently has some background in performing arts/theater.
