A month is, IMO, a good amount of time. I think that we should leave terms at a month, too long turns could discourage active participation.

Sign me up for City Planner, as that is the position I feel most qualified for at this time given my schedule. Also, if the ammendment(s) of adding regions in makes it through, it will become a very influiential position.

Trip's term should end 8/26.

Mine and NYE should end 9/26.

Cap'n and Epistax on 10/26.

I need to bookmark that post.

I'll be retiring in about 2 weeks. Not for ingame reasons, but because in real life I'm moving to a new apartment, therefore losing the net connection. Also new job, so I'll be too busy for the first few weeks of that. Would be best to let someone who can be here for that time to take my place.

A good replacement would be someone who has been involved in much of the law-making as they have a good understanding of the law. So I recommend (unless they are running for another position) any of Togas, Aggie, GodKing, and Kramerman. They all seem to be pretty level-headed. There are, of course, many other capable candidates (including current MoE Spiffor), but these ones strike me as especially good for the job.

I am running for minister of science, as a DIA, our first priority should be fudalism to protect our borders with pikemen. I will choose technology that will improve our wealth and I will make Gunpowder a long-term priority.

I'm working on some of your posters...these are some of the slogans were thinking of, I think this one's a bit over the top:

GodKing for City Planner
Vote for him or risk having your City burnt to the ground

Then there's this one, it may be to boring

Vote for GodKing

Or this one, may be too long

GodKing, he has the only clipboard this side of the Great Rift, no City Planner should be without one, oh and he helps jdjdjd a lot and can scrounge pretty much anything, and that's pretty resourceful...it goes on for another two pages.

Then Finally, this one may be the best

GodKing for City Planner, he'll be the best City Planner we've had since Punkbass!

Oh and then, I do some talk shows (Springer, Judge Judy, Larry King, Ricky Lake...sorry thats all I could get) endorsing your candidacy, and then you do Regis & Kelly (I mean the show, not the two of them sexually, though if you can get Kelly, I'd say more power to you.)

I hope this works, I mean for Banana's sake, I have to be on Springer's "I am a Transevestite Vampire Lover" show. I am one, but still....

It is a good thing I chose Fedualism a couple turnchats ago...

thanks jdjdjd

You know, my brother worked for springer for 6 years or so, he was the person who put together all the on air promos "AND NEXT WEEK ON SPRINGER, BANANA WORSHIPERS AND HOW THEY TREAT OTHER FRUITS" (clip of people throwing fruit, chairs and other people around the set, while a large, fat toothless banana looks on....)

as a side note, he met his wife on a blind date a friend set up, she worked for Opra at the time.....

At the wedding, the ushers seated people "Opra on the left, Springer on the right...."

Kelly......I hear she is hard to get, but Regis is cheap.... I assume you are sure you wouldn't settle for him..... just checking.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Gotta go and earn that pay check....

Togas · August 12, 2002, 17:24

Today is the 12th. Who starts up the elections?

Spiffor · August 12, 2002, 18:41

It's Ninot or Timeline's duty, as per the constitution.
However, MWIA might start them if our execs aren't around... Before 1st term, soon-to-be president Trip started them.

Ninot · August 12, 2002, 19:52

Im starting the elections NOW

Epistax · August 12, 2002, 20:19

Whatever you do, don't have all of them topped!!!

Just put a link to each one in the government thread or something, or a separate topped thread

Ninot · August 12, 2002, 20:23

for now, im having them all topped
the ones with only one person and a banana will be untopped very soon tho

Epistax · August 12, 2002, 20:24

Hey wait a minute, you can only run for one post at a time!

Someone quickly bring impeachment of banana to the court!

Ninot · August 12, 2002, 20:25

that was tried last two elections, i believe, youll never make the charges stick

GodKing · August 12, 2002, 20:33

Banana is just too popular of a....fruit... to make it stick.
