I remember when i was just a lad, Me Mother looked at me with her beutifull brown eyes and asked "what do you want to be when you grow up?" I smiled and replied "I want to draw things, draw cities, and build them so that people can be happy and live there,

I want to tell them where to live

where to work

and then one day I will rule them all!!!"

well first things first, sign me up for city planner

-Jrabbit · September 24, 2002, 14:42

Zedd, Zedd, Zedd!

Let's help make this childhood dream come true. Such long-delayed interests should be allowed fruition.

VP is the runner up to Pres.

That's only if we actually have two candidates. When I was vice-president under you, I didn't run against you, but stepped in when there was no vice-president.

We really need to finalise who is actually running for what, so we can see what spaces still need to be filled.

If cavebear does run again, I know I do a good job as vice-president.

ixnay · September 24, 2002, 20:59

As the current VP, I'll post the election polls when, the 27th? That'll give 3 days until the end of the month for elections, and the next term can start on the 1st.

Hydey · September 26, 2002, 07:34

I would like to nominate myself for a second term as president.

I believe I have done a reasonable job as leader of our great game and would love to have a second term to continue our strong growth.

VOTE 1 Hydey.

cavebear · September 26, 2002, 08:41

OK, in that case I will definately run for President, and I withdraw my nomination for Minister of Science. A 3-way election should be fun!

Hydey · September 26, 2002, 09:02

2 people wanting to knife Hydey

H Tower · September 26, 2002, 10:10

It would seem that the Science Ministry is not a desirable position to hold.

The Trade Ministry is even less desirable.

Who will take over my office?

Science Minister H Tower

Trade Minister H Tower

Nothing's wrong with either job. I just felt it wasn't right to run for 2 offices at the same time. We'll end up with Ministers of Science and Trade somehow.

JCP · September 26, 2002, 12:56

Well, three nominations for the presidence !

The next question is : will this election have one or two turns ?

For the first vote, is an absolute majority needed, with a second turn where the first wins ?

It's a new situation, it means we are in a healthy democracy !

ixnay · September 26, 2002, 13:15

I'd say that it'll take a simple plurality to win, unless there's a tie and we need a runoff. And if needed, I will run for science minister.

MrWhereItsAt · September 26, 2002, 16:19

/me waves arms frantically

Hey look at me!!

Actually, look at my updated nominations post - it's not quite the first one, but it's the 2nd post in this thread. I am running for Trade Minister, and no-one yet knows WHAT -Jrabbit is running for. Except MAYBE -Jrabbit....

atawa · September 26, 2002, 16:31

Ok, changed my mind, I'll run for president this term

ixnay · September 26, 2002, 16:59

Ye gads! A 4-way race. This should be interesting.

shade · September 26, 2002, 17:12

seems like we still need a trade minister(what about the science minister?

I suggest if there are places still open they should be given to the ppl on the second ,third,..position.

Hydey King....again

(I'm still thinking how I will write about his first reign,that's a huge period...mayby someone who plays a little slower so my pen doesn't overheats and catches fire

)

Shade

ixnay · September 26, 2002, 17:35

atawa

Minister of WAR

Minister of Foreign Affairs
123john321
CannonFodder

Minister of Imperial Expansion
-Jrabbit
3rd or 4th presidential runner-up

City Planner

3rd or 4th presidential runner-up

Does this look ok?

H Tower · September 26, 2002, 18:21

so -jrabbit and yourself are going to be running against the 3rd or fourth presidential runnerup? that's what its going to say on the ballot?

CannonFodder · September 26, 2002, 18:58

I think it is time I announced my choice to run for the Foreign Office.

As head of the office, I will make sure we have lots and lots of diplomats and especially spies for *covert operations*

I will never bow before tyranny and greed!

Darkness' Edge · September 26, 2002, 19:23

holy...cow...

two days ago, it looked like i was going to run uncontested in both democracy games...

now in smac, i get mwia as an opponent, and here...i get not just hydey, not just cavebear, not just atawa, but all three!

my, this is going to be an interesting campaign

I thought I said I was not running this month.

Have I been drafted?

Yee-hah, people for all jobs, and several for one. Can't get better than that!

Well, you said you'd consider City Planner/Expansion if no one else stepped forwards. Since no one announced that they're running for Expansion, I took the liberty of putting your name on there as well as the presidential runners-up.

I can always take it off if you want.

cavebear · September 26, 2002, 22:49

Draft -jrabbit, draft -jrabbit!
