My policy will be to do my best to fund our conquests and keep our coffers overflowing with fund from current trade routes, while exploring new routes that our maginificant camels may journey on.

I also promise to post many exciting and colorful images to threads that all the comrades in arms may view to be entertained.

I will also post screenshots so that we can have a better idea on ways to vote.

All in all, a vote for Matticus, is a vote for trade arrows out the wazoo.

nice to have someone to vs me

I shall throw my hat in the ring for IE Advisor.

Hydey · June 22, 2002, 04:49

with a bit of luck or just good play by cavebear we may not need to have elections as this game may well be won

then again there is always next game.

Do we keep the two positions or do we combine them?

I would be in favour of keeping them seperated as it gives more people the chance to participate in the game

But if not, I welcome the competition

civman2000 · June 22, 2002, 12:53

combined...i opposed it but it happened

atawa · June 22, 2002, 13:20

Did we vote on that? Cant remember.

atawa · June 22, 2002, 13:24

Edit: DP

cavebear · June 22, 2002, 17:15

We voted that Imperial Expansion and City Planner would be combined starting this new election.

cavebear · June 22, 2002, 17:23

I have decided not to run for elective office in July. I am *that* confident that there are more months to go in this game, and I want to be in on it at the end.

Question, though... Does Historian count? I could catch us up on the history of our Grand Efforts if that didn't prevent me from seeking other offices in August and beyond. Someone needs to do it. I'll be the Historian if it doesn't count for sequential office months.

atawa · June 22, 2002, 17:27

Considdering noone else seems to want it, sounds like a good idea

Vlad Antlerkov · June 22, 2002, 17:41

OTOH, since atawa seems to have done a damn fine job, I'll withdraw from the race.

I'm running for VP now. (As I'm running for Civ3-Demo VP right now, against the current IE advisor no less, it'd be weird if I won both...)

Nimitz · June 22, 2002, 18:06

I'll run for science advisor this month as I don't want to run against another person in my party.

MrWhereItsAt · June 22, 2002, 21:09

Cavebear - I think you would certainly make a good choice for Historian this time around, and that ALL presidents should consider it after their term, since they know (or SHOULD know) exactly what happened better than anyone else during their term in office.

The Prez posts those oh-so-wonderful turn by turn accounts, and thus have already done half of the job - they just need a little embellishment and "behind-the-scenes" sort of info to cap it all off.

Great to see so many contested (and not just by two) positions here. And if you're not in, just throw your name out. You may not get in first time around (especially seeing some of the names listed as candidates), but it gives you a buzz every time you see a vote for you and you can be the outspoken dissident throughout your successful opponent's career.
{you} -

{them} -

As for me putting my name forward for anything... I'll let you know.

When do nominations end?

cavebear · June 22, 2002, 22:14

MWIA - The nominations end on the 27th, I think. But don't leave things up in the air for too long. The definition of "the 27th" is quite broad (depending on where you are). Plus, It would be awkward if you left things to the last minute. Many people are expecting you to run for President. If you are not, you should say so soon.

MrWhereItsAt · June 22, 2002, 22:18

Don't worry about the time limit - I'm at the very forefront of the world's timezones.

And now I have, well, nothing else I need to focus on, I expect to have a decision sooner, and not later.

Minister of WAR, not peace.
MrWIA.

Hydey · June 22, 2002, 22:53

Yes make up your mind, your kingship

others may have to alter plans if you do not run.

cavebear · June 23, 2002, 00:39

Well, Hydey, if you want to run for President, just say so!

Hydey · June 23, 2002, 08:22

If I do , I will

mrboo123 · June 23, 2002, 09:07

I withdraw my run for Trade, I'm going for President. (Wish me luck)

civman2000 · June 23, 2002, 09:31

mrboo123 · June 23, 2002, 21:28

I think I'm going lose because of what I will say now...................

civman2000 · June 23, 2002, 22:35

maybe you shouldn't run for office then

MrWhereItsAt · June 24, 2002, 10:50

Well, here goes....

Due to much anticipation from some of the ppl of our glorious Communist State, I can put it off no longer.

I announce my intention to contest the seat of PRESIDENT in the upcoming election.

I will take all questions later.

Thank you, all.

Minister of WAR, not peace.
MrWIA.

cavebear · June 24, 2002, 14:23

As far as not knowing how to post screenshots, I did not know how when I ran for President, either. I learned.

Hit the "PrintScreen" button, then hit "Control" and "C" (simultaneously) or the menu "copy" command. Then go to Paint (or any other graphics program), open a new document, and hit "Control" and "V" (simultaneously) or menu "paste" command.

It's not really that hard. Necessity is a great teacher!

cavebear · June 24, 2002, 14:40

I recall some discussion a couple of months ago about whether "Historian" counted as a Cabinet post for the purposes of counting terms of holding office. I can't find it now, but my recollection is that the post of Historian does not count toward sequential terms.

I would like to take a break from Cabinet positions for a month and catch us up on the history of our game at the same time (believe me, it will seem like a complete vacation by comparison). -Jrabbit has done a good job, but he is ready to put away his quill pens and nibs and cap his inkwell.

I am prepared to pick up wherever he leaves off at the end of June.

With the previous general agreement that Historian is not part of the election cycle and that I may seek some other office in August, I hereby throw my ink-stained cap into the ring.

You may rest assured that, as Historian, I will both use my intimate knowledge of the years of my Presidency *and* I will be utterly objective in evaluating my own previous actions. Who knows better where the skeletons are hidden than I?

Cavebear for Historian!

ixnay · June 24, 2002, 14:41

I hereby announce that I will not seek a third term as Science Minister, or any other position. I'm going to take at least a month off and may return to office at a later time.
