Switching Day preparations

Imperial Decree #280 declares May 1st as May Fools Day, and thus as a suitable date to celebrate SWITCHING DAY.

Let's do this the old-school way :). I'll be the "moderator" if nobody objects. Please announce in this thread if you want to participate on the Switching Day before April 29th. On that day, I will randomly assign everyone someone to impersonate (from the people who have announced their participation), and PM you who you'll be imitating. I think it's OK if everyone just registers a new account for the day, if someone has objections to that please bring them up. On May 1st (for whatever you consider a reasonable definition of May 1st), we switch :).

Once we're done... uh... do we have a prize to give to the guy who guesses the most switches correct? Well, even if we don't, people are going to try to guess anyway, so doesn't hurt to make it semi-officially unofficial.

So... sign up here and we'll make this a switching day to remember!

It sounds like a roaring good time, but I don't know the people on Shireroth well enough... unless I were to switch with Liam or Andreas or perhaps Jess...

The FIoJ was lead by a President that was elected every few months whenever people wanted to have an election. Jason Steffke was the first president and won the only two elections the nation ever had. The President had the power to sign diplomatic agreements, make a motion for war (with the approval of the Minster of Defense) and control the website and forums. The actual legislature of the FIoJ was governed by a system named Timed Democracy. For all issues, every citizen (including the President) had one vote. Votes would last at least two days after being proposed and would always end at 10 PM EST after at least 48 hours had passed. The required percentage varied depending on the vote, from a 3/7 "majority" used to recognize other nations to 100% agreement on issues that involved the FIoJ losing their independence, such as mergers. This system was later modified to allow voting extensions and was, during the last days of the nation, abused by factions wanting to see particular agendas be pushed through, but during time of the nation“s height it proved to be a very fair way for citizens to discuss their ideas and see new laws be created and was widely considered one of the best working models of democracy seen in micronations.

According to whatever time Shireroth is normally set on, it's almost over May 1. It's long over May 1 for me, so I think it's time to make some guesses ...
(11 participants, only 10 double log-ins - Jonas didn't have anyone doing him, really). Rot13 time. Don't read it if you are going to guess by yourself, since you can work out which one I was from it.
