Election: Minister of the Military

Ninot · August 12, 2002, 20:12

This is the election for our Minister of the Military.

Query:
Who should be our next Minister of the Military?

Candidates:
UberKrux
Banana (abstain)

End:
5 Days, August 17th 2002

Nubclear · August 12, 2002, 20:16

Banana.

UberKrux simply caused too much trouble in my opinion. Thats when the game really lost all of its fun.

Banana would be better.

Banana:
3 turms in a row is too much...
Not that Uber cannot do the job.

Vlad Antlerkov · August 12, 2002, 20:20

If it ends up tied (as it is now), have Uber and the Banana fight each other in gladiatorial combat. Winner gets the position.

Jon Shafer · August 12, 2002, 20:25

The Banana is winning 5 to 4!

Ninot · August 12, 2002, 20:26

its the people hitting back for all of that revolution talk

Vlad Antlerkov · August 12, 2002, 20:31

/me sharpens swords for Uber and banana

Vorpal longsword for Uber, and vorpal... knife for the banana.

(As the banana has no head, and Uber does...)

Banana

UberKrux caused far to much disruption in this game than he should have. He turned off many people because of his useless bickering and endless complaining. He should not be rewarded with this honorary position.

i believe this is the sentiment for why Uber is getting abstain votes against him

and its going to be a major muck-up if the abstains win this. i dont want the abstains to win personally, but i think it is a STRONG statement.

jdd2007 · August 12, 2002, 22:23

i vote BANANA in most uncontested elections, but Uber is one of Apolytonias best people.

I don't think this is a reward. It's a job, and Uber is perfect for it, IMHO

GhengisFarb™ · August 12, 2002, 22:46

Yeah, Uber takes this job very seriously.

Jon Shafer · August 12, 2002, 22:47

Of course, all the veterans vote banana while everyone else votes for the real candidate. Tsk tsk. *Shakes his head*

notyoueither · August 12, 2002, 22:49

Some of us voted Uber to avoid the possibility of the army coming and tearing down all the temples.

GePap · August 12, 2002, 22:59

Whatever anyone has to say of Uber as a citizen of Apolyton, he has been a highly competent SMAC, and as such, is as good a candidate as any. The question is, who will replace and/or unseat him? Few other citizens have made any impression on my in the realsm of strategists.

jdd2007 · August 12, 2002, 23:01

Sir Ralph (if he is still here) is the only one that would do a good as job as Uber

Donal Graeme · August 13, 2002, 01:17

Where is Sir Ralph, I haven't seen a post from him in a long time? Hopefully we will hear from him soon, otherwise he will be counted amongst the missing...

notyoueither · August 13, 2002, 01:19

Sir Ralph is unable to participate in turn chats regularly. Hence he is leaving government. Hence his presence is a bit less. He was by somewhere around here earlier today though.

MrWhereItsAt · August 13, 2002, 02:28

Uber has led us through a successful military campaign, one which I personally had many concerns about. I am going to be Prez, and I will need dedicated and intelligent posters as Ministers - especially since my first official position in this game will be in the top job. I imagine this will not be an easy start for me or UnOrthO, especially if we have to simultaneously play the game and reowrk some rules and procedures, and we need someone with the experience, both of this game and of Civ3 in general, of Uber, in order to make this term successful.

Stuff what was before. We are looking ahead here. Uber for SMC and we will kick ass, or vote banana and kill the game now.

Harovan · August 13, 2002, 03:28

UberKruX did a good job so far as Minister of War and there's no reason to vote banana, at least for me. True, he made a lot of trouble, but thank to his Revolution thread, although based on an invalid poll, other more silent voices could be heard. A governmental reform, a reform of the Code of Laws and turnthreads instead of turnchats are now seriously discussed.

Thanks for missing me, people, I am still here often, but I have a very dear visitor right now, with who I am spending most of my spare time, so my evening posts may be less than usual. I will be really away for 2 weeks from August 24th on (vacation trip) and that is the reason why I did not run for an office this term, but your support makes me consider to run for Minister of War in September, if turnthreads will have replaced the turnchats.

Proserpine · August 13, 2002, 12:29

I voted for Uber b'cos he's done a good job so far, but if anyone else had stood Uber probably wouldn't have got my vote, as I have a major aversion to military coup attempts

Kramerman · August 13, 2002, 19:20

hmmm, i wonder whos gonna win this one???

Darkness' Edge · August 14, 2002, 02:52

would still have voted for uber, competition or otherwise...

Kuciwalker · August 14, 2002, 08:49

Banana, just for the heck of it. Uber, don't take it personally, I do this in every uncontested election.

btw, IT LET ME VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YIPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Panag · August 15, 2002, 16:31

hi ,

UberKruX , you ought to get more PR , ......

panag > gives Uber a truckload of banana to start with

if so many people are not pleased , well then they should have come forward , ......

have a nice day

Kuciwalker · August 15, 2002, 19:21

Uber doesn't need PR. He has Swordsmen

adaMada · August 15, 2002, 20:40

Voted (a while ago) for Uber... he was great as SMC, and deservies the third term... in fact, I was one of the (many) people who posted asking him to stay for a third, and I'm very glad that he did.

Robber Baron · August 16, 2002, 09:36

Uber -- because he's very effective militarily (if somewhat provocative politically!)

Kramerman · August 16, 2002, 16:02

I voted Uber, even though his legions destroyed the ghetto in which I lived, and slaughtered the drug dealers from which I obtained my crack. But that doesnt take away the fact that he is a good SMC and is also 'dedicated' to his ministry.

Kuciwalker · August 16, 2002, 16:37

Kman - he probably did you a favor
