Afternoon Update

Greetings again, folk of Crumble. Election Day is progressing nicely down here at the town hall, with townsfolk coming out in their Droves (you know, that little wooden transport cart thingy that Larnold and Tilda invented, the one where you sit in the back and your kids pull) to be here today, and what a day it’s been.

Let’s do a quick run-down of the events so far!

So far on Crumble Election Day

The candidates show up: That’s right, Edwina Packard and her opponent Mr Minopoly both showed up today, making a scene about who they were going to vote for. We’re not sure who started it, but in a surprising twist to the tale, both candidates voted for the other candidate, hoping to look sporty-like. Well they do look sporty-like, and might I say, Mr Minopoly’s moustache is particularly enviable today. Good job Edwina and Mr Minopoly, voting for your opponent like that.

Political debates are taking place left right and centre, and then there’s been a few underfoot and one that was in mid-air (don’t ask).

Bit of a mini-riot: There is some tension outside the town hall as people wait in huge lines to vote for their favourite candidate. Political debates are taking place left right and centre, and then there’s been a few underfoot and one that was in mid-air (don’t ask). A small micro-riot broke out earlier in the afternoon between factions from either side of the political spectrum, and it looks like there are certain townsfolk forming gangs about the subject. Yesaroonie, there was a wonderful display of hat-wearing, moustache-toting men and women battering some other folks wielding banners with Edwina’s face on them. More on this as it develops!

Small instance of cannibalism: Yes it’s sad to say, but not entirely surprising, that a small instance of cannibalism took place about 30 minutes ago. The Tiller family was waiting in line behind the, admittedly scrumptious-looking, Huxtable family for quite some time, growing noticeably more drooly as the day progressed – but the line didn’t. Now the Tillers seem well-fed and are one vital step closer to voting, though they really will need to wash up later today. By golly, that was a bloody one, for sure.

If you don’t vote, you can’t complain about the results!

Are you in line yet?

I see a lot of people here today, with the line stretching all the way from the Crumble town hall right back along the main road. But it doesn’t look like the entire town! Remember, voting is an important part of the election system this year. Sure, last time around you could place bets on who would win the fight and then complain bitterly if your candidate was the one who got blown up in the nuke or killed by robots or whatever, but this year is different.

If you don’t vote, you can’t complain about the results! It wouldn’t be right, ’cause if you hate the outcome so much, it’s like, well why didn’t you vote? You know?

So get down to the Town Hall asap!
