jdd2007 · October 12, 2002, 11:36

this promises to be a close election. im not going to vote at the moment, but WB looks like a good choice

ThePlagueRat · October 12, 2002, 11:40

Whitebandit got one more...

UnOrthOdOx · October 12, 2002, 11:48

This would normally be a very tough decision, and a decision I do not envy many of you having to make.

I, however, made a promise a long time ago.

MrWhreItsAt, though it wont let me vote on AOL, as soon as I go back to work on Monday, I will continue my support for you wherever, whenever, and for whatever you need.

Ninot, WB, best of luck, nothing against either of you, but I must honor my promise.

Ninot · October 12, 2002, 11:49

since when is abstain an official option in elections with multiple candidates?
good luck to my fellow candidates.

Inverse Icarus · October 12, 2002, 11:55

MWIA, because ninot is the devil.

Where does that leave WB?

Arnelos · October 12, 2002, 11:59

I can't decide

adaMada · October 12, 2002, 12:39

I can't vote either

.

I guess I'll hang on to my vote for a while longer, but I'm in a real jam -- I've (at different times) peer-pressured MWIA to run again, told WB he should run, and think I might have told Ninot to run again sometime too (not sure).

No easy way out like UnOrthO for me

.

I guess I'll sit on my vote for a few more days, and either vote in despiration or (more likely) choose the abstain option that OPD so wisely put in.

I wish it was as easy as rewriting the CoL to allow it

Inducing 3 guys to run for President, then saying aloud : I really cant choose, can only mean one thing !

MrWhereItsAt · October 12, 2002, 12:52

All I want to say here is that I hope everyone votes interestingly. The last Civ3 election I was in was uncontested (hence my Presidency

), and I really hope things are tense for a while here. (Make us squirm!

BUT ensure you vote for the candidate you think will best represent this nation's issues for a month - whoever it is, they can count on my support in any matter they choose. They will be President, after all. And if we can't trust our Prez, who CAN we trust?

EDIT: I am so glad to see no-one has abstained yet (No DO NOT!!! ). The quality of the candidates here (even if I DO say so myself) is good enough that there should be someone for everyone here....

WhiteBandit · October 12, 2002, 13:03

Definitely MWIA.

And oh yes, and do not forget. I love you all.

Reddawg · October 12, 2002, 14:42

I know who I'm voting for, but I'm not going to tell you all who it is. It's definitely a tough choice, the toughest yet I've seen in an election here... but I know who my vote goes to.

Meshelic · October 12, 2002, 18:30

I hope no one abstains from voting, this is an excellent match-up! and no I won't tell you my vote

Donegeal · October 12, 2002, 19:37

Wow... The Past (Ninot), (close to) the Present (MWIA), and the future (WB) all in one election. I hope to the Banana we have this great of candidates at the next election.

MWIA for me, as I told him I'd vote for him if he ran in a chat once.

Duddha · October 12, 2002, 19:40

I voted for White Bandit because he is the only one who hasn't been Prez yet, just to be fair.

Meshelic · October 12, 2002, 19:47

Same story here Duddha

Hah, I thank everyone! So far not many seem to care about the "future."

Harovan · October 12, 2002, 21:18

Ninot gets my vote.

Apocalypse · October 12, 2002, 22:29

Still no abstains.

MrWhereItsAt · October 12, 2002, 23:50

Great stuff.... but keep voting everyone!

1st Election - One Candidate: 73 total votes
2nd Election - Two Candidates: 149 (!) total votes
3rd Election - One Candidate: 84 votes
4th Election - One Candidate: 65 votes

5th Election - Three candidates:

Let's make this the best yet.

Apocalypse · October 12, 2002, 23:58

I thought there were more votes in the second election, just that 200 or so of them were from people who never joined.

Meshelic · October 13, 2002, 06:01

It seems correct so say that thus far (it being sunday morning for me) about an average of 35-40 ppl have voted so far per office poll. compared to the list of members this is pretty bad. I guess that shows how many people are actually active most of the time.

Apocalypse · October 13, 2002, 13:22

Many people wait until the last minute for these elections.
