October Election Nominations

-Jrabbit · September 20, 2002, 10:09

Who want to run for what?

Do we separate H Tower's two offices this term?

MrWhereItsAt · September 20, 2002, 12:59

I nominate myself for... something...

Either someone else decide for me, or I will go for the least contested position.

EDIT: OK, we need a vaguely top post list of positions and candidates.

President
DE
Hydey
Cavebear

Minister of WAR
Shade

Minister of Foreign Affairs
123john321

Minister of Imperial Expansion
-Jrabbit?

City Planner
-Jrabbit?
Zedd

Minister of Science
Still needed

Minister of Trade
-Jrabbit?
MrWIA

Hmm. I need more time to be VP - it shouldn't be a demanding job, but I somehow made it one last time!

Minister of Trade? I could do that (not much to do - I haven't yet had a dummy position in a Democracy Game!

). Alright - time to give it a go. However, I'd LOVE to campaign against shade again - this time for SMC and hopefully have a good match (remember that Trade Minister competition before I was anything in this game, shade? ). I will nominate myself for BOTH if I can. I may need to ask what ppl think of this.

shade · September 20, 2002, 13:31

Minister of War...

let's make sure our ppl are safe

Shade

I won't be renominating for City Planner next term, but..

I'll run for Foreign Minister, IF I wouldn't be running against -Jrabbit, or I'll run for Minister of War, IF I wouldn't be running against MWIA.

cavebear · September 20, 2002, 19:15

I place my name in nomination for Minister of Science.

I haven't quite made up my mind yet.
There's a few people that I'm waiting for nominations before I make mine.

But I've been a crappy City Planner, and I won't be nominating for that again.

Also, this last month has been nuts. At one point, I held seven offices across four democracy games. Being a citizen again could be nice.

But...I'll think about it.

atawa · September 21, 2002, 23:48

I wont be running for office next month.

I am going on a holiday to Ireland and the local 3 october celebrations are comming up.It might not be the best time to be in office when you know you're going to be drunk for half the month

-Jrabbit · September 22, 2002, 00:18

I'm stepping down as prime Foreign Minister in October.
123john321 and Darkness' Edge can go at it... At least there's more to do now than just

The Big Question:

Will King Hydey return? In what capacity?

I most certainly will be involved with this game but will hold back on nominating for a possition .

The game is fairly on track, a little behind where we would want to be tech wise but in fairly good shape none the less.

I would like to see someone else put there hand up to be president for no other reason than to stop it becoming the Hydey game rather than a democracy game but I will wait a few days and see who has nominated for what .

Darkness' Edge · September 22, 2002, 03:52

Dammit Hydey, make up your mind.

I'd much rather see you continue as president.

ixnay · September 22, 2002, 04:20

I'm going to retire after I post the election polls, having served 4 terms at various positions in the 2 games.

Darkness' Edge · September 22, 2002, 07:12

I've made up my mind.

I'd been intending to stay out of politics this term, after a fairly hectic one as Commissioner of the SMAC game.

But...I just can't resist.

I hereby nominate for the position of President.

i certainly wouldn't mind it, but you're both much better administrators than i, and i'd be happy to step aside for either of you

(by the way, that's not to say i'm incapable

) you two are just the best there is.

MrWhereItsAt · September 22, 2002, 09:14

Nonono! I mean that it looks like you will be first to be President of three Demo games if you are successful here - I guess this means the Civ3 one is next?

Caution: that one is demanding. Hence me being back here, amongst more easygoing people playing a more easygoing format in a better understoond game.

OK, I'll change from running for Minister of Science to running for President IF you will run for President also. Shall we have a spirited go for it?

No way in hell! As much as I'd like to, it's -far- too complicated for me. I ended up having to resign, because I made an incompetent deputy minister of foreign affairs...

Kind words, Shade, but I'm thinking... NOT. I have a week of biz travel in Oct.

Will consider Trade or City Planner/Expansion if no one else steps forward. (...and what about Historian?)

C'mon, ppl!!! We are just coming into our era of power.

Oct. will be a great month to serve.

If there are open positions you can count on me, but I'd rather see some of the new players run for office

I agree. More people should run for Ministerial offices so that they gain the experience needed to run for President. I understand that interested new people want the "top job", but there are things about doing it that you only learn by being a Minister first for a month or two.

Ideally, several people (with some Ministerial experience) should be running for President each month. We shouldn't be having all these uncontested elections. And I would really like to see more people running for Minister jobs to get that experience and add their unique views to the recommendations to the President.

And if you do go for "top job" and win, don't look to me as an exmaple.
