In a further update, nominations will end Sunday 9pm 'Poly time (I'm going by the chatroom time - it's the closest I have to a universal time without doing tedious conversions, accounting for daylight savings...). Voting will commence soon after (whenever I get home and see that time has elapsed.

MrWhereItsAt · May 25, 2002, 08:28

Why, I'm just trying to hurry along Explosives.

Perhaps we could give the Egyptians a consignment of faulty guns...

timmy2tone69 · May 25, 2002, 08:35

I accept the Nomination from MWIA for the position of trade. I will toil long and hard to see that the peoples efforts in the arena of trade are not wasted.

The supreme goal af the Soviet state is the building of a classless
communist society in which there will be public, communist self-government.
The main aims of the people's socialist state are: to lay the material and
technical foundation of communism, to perfect socialist social relations and
transform them into communist relations, to mould the citizen of communist
society, to raise the people's living and cultural standards, to safeguard the
country's security, and to further the consolidation of peace and development
of international co-operation.

Thank You

I nominate myself for domestic minister.

civman2000 · May 25, 2002, 12:23

you mean city planner?

cavebear · May 25, 2002, 17:48

As your President, I have had the opportunity to work closely with Vice President MWIA in matters of the Egyptian Campaign and other vital projects relating to our Glorious Workers Paradise.

I state without hesitation that VP MWIA will make a dedicated and successful Supreme Military Commander, and will certainly have my vote in the upcoming election.

MrWhereItsAt · May 26, 2002, 02:51

Just over 18 hours 'till nominations end. I estimate polls will be up (for three days) from about 6 hours after that. (3am Monday 'Poly chatroom time)

That is all.

VP
MrWIA.

What post is it where I can ruthlessly restrict all expansionism, build shed-loads of engineers and tell the cities not to build factories?

I want that one.

No such position exists.

However, the things that you are most concerned with fall under the influence of the City-Planner/Imperial Expansion positions. Perhaps you should announce for one of those jobs...

However, you cannot on your own decide the policies you espouse, though you can try and direct things in that direction as a Minister. You would still have to offer polls with options, and you would have to follow the voters in those polls in your recommendations to the President.

But if you want greater influence, you have to get elected to a Cabinet post and follow the rules of the game (both Civ and Democracy). I will say that if you were to be elected to a post, it would sure be an interesting experience for us all.

Kuciwalker · May 26, 2002, 15:55

Can I nominate myself for the head of the NKVD?

MrWhereItsAt · May 26, 2002, 16:15

I believe all (currently non-existent, naturally) special police activities are handled by the Supreme Military Commander (although I have heard rumours MdS has some influenece still.

Sorry, no such position exists (or is needed).

Kuciwalker · May 26, 2002, 16:33

But... I want to interrogate people. Not Fair!!! (pouts)

Immortal Wombat · May 26, 2002, 17:29

Have we discovered espionage yet?

Immortal Wombat · May 26, 2002, 17:34

Ok, I would like to officially nominate myself for the position of City Planner. thankyou

No. While we can be Communist due to the SoL, we have not discovered Espionage. I think that would be a valuable asset. Spies can both investigate and then act further. Plus they are great defense against Diplomats.

and (which is even more important) they get recycled !!!!

atawa · May 26, 2002, 18:03

And vets under commie

Immortal Wombat · May 26, 2002, 18:05

recycling is good, and it would open a spot for a head of KGB minister

atawa · May 26, 2002, 18:33

y, with espionage a special position should be set up

Espionage can not be done by one of the current ministers becouse it involves to many departments.

Kuciwalker · May 26, 2002, 18:58

Then I nominate myself for Head of the First Chief Directorate of the KGB (Espionage Minister).

cavebear · May 26, 2002, 19:51

I suggest you be a participating Citizen for a month. Then we will know if you have any good ideas. Run for office after that. Experience is valuable.

You have heard correctly...

There are always those antarctic bathymetric surveys...

MrWhereItsAt · May 27, 2002, 02:14

Nominations are closed and polls are up.

This is a critical time for our fledgling Communist State - we are nearing great battles with bourgeois barabarians such as the Egyptians and Americans, thus we need a strong, complete Cabinet. Choose carefully for the two contested positions, and choose the candidate for the uncontested ones!

Sure if we have one
