Hello. I'm Jonny, and here's why you should vote for me as your new IE minister.
Firstly, I try to place cities in places where they can be most efficent and productive. In my first attempt to become IE minister, I said I supported optimum city spacing. However, we started in the middle of a jungle, so you can throw all that out the window. I now try to place them where they can be most productive.
Second, you should vote for me because I have some experience of being IE minster. I was the deputy IE minster for Timeline, so I have some valuable experience that none of the other candidates have.
Thirdly, I promise to always listen to the voice of the people. I will almost never place a city without polling the people about what we should do first. This is a democracy, and the people are part of the government.
Finally, I promise that everyting I'll do will not be mainly based on politics and political parties. Everyone's opinion counts, whether they are part of the DIA, UFC, or independent.
By the way, I do support Case Pink and the two proposed city sites located near Apolyton.

I thank you for your vote in advance.

Hi, I'm skywalker, and I think you should elect me for the post of Imperial Expansion Minister because:
I support a policy of rapid expansion that doesn't hurt our military or cause serious corruption problems.
I am on almost every day (I might miss a day or two per month) and will be available to listen to your opinions.
I won't follow a course of action until I am sure what the people want.
I will consider (in my report) every option proposed to me when advising our President, but will support whichever has the most votes.
I promise free bananas for all!
Thank you, and may the force be with me

I felt that in important elections (read: more than 1 person  ) it was important not to have 'Banana' so as not to take away votes from the real canidates. Maybe everyone would vote for a canidate anyways that would have, but I don't know that for sure, and I don't want to cost one person or the other the election 'cause of da Banana.

I feel exactly like Ninot. Party allegiance isn't important for this post (the minister of imperial expansion doesn't do anything except placing cities). The real matter is how the minister will work. And skywalker is a spammer which makes turnchats extremely confusing or annoying.
I also doubt his skill at Civ3, as he wanted to attack the French with our only exploring warrior.
This post is not partisan : were skywalker in my party, I would have voted against him. I think he's the worse minister of imperial expansion we could have.
I'm aware I have new enemies because of this post, but someone had to express what everyone felt during last turnchat.

I'm voting for Jonny.
As others have already stated before me, this isn't about party allegiance...

I was at the last turnchat, and agree wholeheartedly with the above sentiments. The will of the people was obviously not war at that time.

We need to expand now so that we can gain control of this landmass, and so we can have a large number of productive cities later.
Skywalker needs your vote!!!

well.. i dont know how many votes the chat-room thing changed.. but it is a part of his campagin basically.. its an action he performed that reflects on him.
I think most present found it intollerable and not the actions of a worthy candidate.
But i cant speak for Skywalker the person. I know hes a good guy.. but that one slip up was just.. ya know, ack!
