WIFOM is an acronym taken from a hilarious and pivotal scene in The Princess Bride: The confrontation between the Man in Black and Vizzini.

But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

What this Hobbit said. I too am suspicious of the Hobbitses who are hopping at the chance to lead our impromptu community - and double especially those with the more human-like ego to vote for themselves to start their own campaign! I find it un-hobbity to speak a truth. livius has given good reason to want to vote for her. But still the offers of free pipeweed can be compelling - as is the enviable talent of smoke ring a-blowing.
I can make allowance for Chris Porter meta-gaming a bit and pretending that being new to all this fancy voting and so forth is a shield, and though you may blow a mighty good smoking ring, I cannot at this time vote to elect you mayor.
What is your clan name Hobbit Nightson? Is it Proudfoot? Because you talk like one of them. Your offer of free pipeweed, tempting though it is, is irrelevent. We can open our back doors and scoop it from the field free as we please already. And why cast your suspicion on fragment? Has fragment done you wrong somehow already? My humble Hobbit's eyes are watching you very closely, sir. I should expect a good answer for such early, unfounded, accusations. Consider yourself suspect to me, sir!
