Ninot · September 12, 2002, 18:54

I like this system so far
never the same president two terms in a row.

Apocalypse · September 12, 2002, 18:58

Yes. It seems just me, Timeline, Uber, and Spiffor (and possibly one other person, I'm sorry if I left you out) have had the same job for more than one term.

Ninot · September 12, 2002, 19:01

Timeline was VP for 1.5 terms, not a full 2...

uhm, otherwise, Punkbass held onto his job a full 2 terms, officially atleast.

Apocalypse · September 12, 2002, 19:03

Ummm, Ninot:
1.5 > 1

Ninot · September 12, 2002, 19:06

lol, your too right
my brain can't seem to handle greater-than signs today. (same thing happened to me in math class today)

MrWhereItsAt · September 13, 2002, 01:33

"The Old Club"?

You seem to really be implying senility there Ninot. What's up?

Ninot · September 13, 2002, 02:02

Cant a retired thousands-year old president go senile in peace?

Boy, back in my day.....

Jon Shafer · September 14, 2002, 17:19

I'd like to congratulate and welcome OPD to the so-cherished position of President.

GePap · September 15, 2002, 14:52

well, its time to hail a new Pharaoh:

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY PHARAOH OPD AND HIS GLORIOUS NEW REGIME

Shiber · September 15, 2002, 15:11

Hey, here's something funny...
In the game our regime's approval rating is 82%. Currently OPD has 81.63% of the votes which rounds up to 82%.
Reality is immitating the game.

Aro · September 15, 2002, 15:56

Trip, Ninot and Mr.WIA... You are in good company, OPD.
Congratulatons!

Panag · September 16, 2002, 08:20

hi ,

, good luck OPD , you are going to need it , .....

have a nice day

astrologix · September 16, 2002, 09:53

Congratulations OPD, the destiny have chosen to you!

OPD · September 16, 2002, 11:07

Thanks Trip, Gepap, Aro and Asrologix.

Although perhaps congratulations would be more in order after my term as president and dependant on how it goes.

A big well done to MWIA. You've brought things a long way and have done really well especially over the last few sets of turns. I hope you will be staying around as much as you can and at least be around enough for me and apoc to find our feet properly.

BTW how many no questions asked murders do I get? Does Aggie give me a bodyguard? Is there anyone who would like to be the presidential bodyguard?

I was hoping to be the first pres elected with a 80+ vote but perhaps that wasn't ment to be. MWIA currently holds the record with 78.57% of the vote. At least there's some thing to get excited about in a one horse race.

Publically criticising the election system is punishable by death.

Aggie send one of your goons to take care of this trouble maker.

Anyway on a serious note it is not necessary to spell my name in capitals every time. opd is fine.

Firebird · September 17, 2002, 04:01

I'm amazed at the number of choises we have

Go in peace and rule well!
Oh, and congratulations opd.

OPD, in 4 hours you get your very own goon squad!

I wish to congratulate you on your successful campaign - in my eyes perhaps the most extensive (forum-wise) campaign this election, and you are running against the Banana!

On that note, I feel that it is appropiate to congratulate you on your win - the Banana PMed me its concession of these elections (in EVERY position it was running for - a genuine shock

) not 5 minutes ago.

The President is dead. Long Live the President!

(Salute)

, people if you dont like the choice , the run next time , .....

have a nice day

Nikolai · September 17, 2002, 08:53

Good luck, opd!

The only thing I miss in these elections, is the precence of a plan for the future. At least, not everybody has given that, as far as I can see.

OPD · September 17, 2002, 09:46

Thanks to everyone who voted I won't let you down.
It's goes without saying that you can harras me about anything at anytime via PM or post.

Lowest presidential turn out ever at 65 voters. The first election had 73 voters and MWIA's election had 84. But still 65 is quite high.

Me and Apoc will do a fine job.
Cheers

Aro · September 17, 2002, 09:50

Cheers, OPD. I'm quite sure you and Apoc will do a great job.

Kramerman · September 17, 2002, 19:23

Ninot · September 17, 2002, 19:39

Ninot · September 17, 2002, 20:05

Kramerman · September 18, 2002, 00:01
