So you're not running against JA, john?

cavebear · October 26, 2002, 18:22

OK, I'll run for Minister of Trade...

Never let it be said that I failed to stuff my pockets

, er, I mean "serve my civ" when duty called.

H Tower · October 26, 2002, 22:35

how come you aren't running for pres again CB?

cavebear · October 27, 2002, 09:20

Well, in my October campaign, I promised not to run for re-election. Mostly, though, I think it is good to have different players acting as President and Ministers. It keeps the game fresh (and democratic) and potentially-interested Citizens know they will have a fair opportunity to become a Minister.

atawa · October 27, 2002, 12:21

I'm still undeceded as to if/for what I'm gonna run next term.

But I wont run for expansion minister again, 3 terms is more then enough.

1st, Vice-Pres. is the running up to the Pres. and no, I want to take a break from pociles, and I want to see how good of a job JA could do.

He doesn't even have the game, John. I don't see how a Minister can do anything useful when he can't even look at the game.

I forgopt that, if no one runs for it, I guess I'll run again...

cavebear · October 27, 2002, 15:32

Does that mean you are back in the running for Foreign Minister?

Heres the thing...... I don't want to do it, I want a break for a mouth!

cavebear · October 27, 2002, 16:53

Then take the break you need, John. I did not mean to place an obligation on you, and I apologize. My time is entirely my own, so I forget, sometimes, that the real world intrudes on others. You've done a good job as Foreign Minister this month, and I thank you for your efforts. I hope you will return when your schedule allows.

mrboo123 · October 27, 2002, 21:49

Thanks for understanding.

In the past time, that did not prevent him from multiplying posts !

JCP · October 28, 2002, 05:33

where is Hydey .

Did he survive his birthday ?

Darkness' Edge · October 28, 2002, 05:48

I don't know, but at the rate we're going, I don't know what we're going to do to fill these positions.

So we have one maybe in atawa, and another in Hydey, if he did survive his birthday...

I think it's time to start considering some portfolio shakeups.

How about eliminating Vice-President UNLESS there is a runner-up? The Pres can just as easily fulfil their duties.

Also, how about merging City Planner and IE? Didn't we do that at the end of the last game or something?

Same could also go with Science and Trade..

Hydey · October 28, 2002, 07:02

Hydey nominates for President.

I expect people will use their DL's to decide the vote again.

Darkness' Edge · October 28, 2002, 07:13

Well, I said I'd run for President if Hydey did...

Looks like we have a 3-way contest!

I'm sure someone'll throw their hand up for Minister of War.

-Jrabbit · October 28, 2002, 15:54

Hmmm...

OK. I guess one month retirement is enough.

-Jrabbit throws his hat in the ring for...

Minister of Science.

-Jrabbit · October 28, 2002, 18:28

If elected Minister of Science, I promise to flog

and/or reward

our wise men as required to speed us to Alpha Centauri.

I further promise to harass the Ministry of Trade for enough

arrows to get our effective research rate down to 5 turns or fewer.

atomant · October 29, 2002, 09:40

OK Put me down for Minister of Imperial Expansion.... I promise, for those who want them, at least three banana options in every poll.... (once i figure out how to actually post the bloody things) and to post the most inane subject matter in order to help us reach our true destiny and to rule the glaxy as father and son... (takes of Darth Vader helmet)

Now where did I put my medication
BTW, what does the job actually involve?

Joking... :-)

-Jrabbit · October 29, 2002, 09:55

Mr. Vice President -- I think we have enough to get going.

PLEASE POST ELECTION POLL FOR PRESIDENT --
AND NEAR-MEANINGLESS POLLS FOR OTHER POSTIONS!

Prez candidates -- TIME TO POST YOUR PROMISES!

You'll make an excelent minister

Seriously, good to see reletivly new people stepping up

Darkness' Edge · October 29, 2002, 19:32

We don't have a Minister of War candidate, now that I'm running for another shot at the presidency.

As soon as someone steps up, I'll post the elections.

-Jrabbit · October 30, 2002, 01:37

a couple quick thoughts -- If we're having a 3-way for President, how about runner-up gets choice of VP or War Ministry, 3rd place gets leftovers? It's the 30th and we need to move forward.

I'm confident that any unfilled post will garner a volunteer, to be appointed by the Prez. Failing that, we can combine the War post with another (since we're peacemongers this time).

Let's get this moving!

H Tower · October 30, 2002, 01:52

Elections!

ixnay · October 30, 2002, 01:52

Yes.

Darkness' Edge · October 30, 2002, 02:41

Alright, I'll post the elections, and we can solve the MoW problem at a later date.

atomant · October 30, 2002, 02:54

just a quick comment, as we are rather defensive this time around, the Minister of War (Defence?) could be incorporated into another ministry.... could give IE something extra to do or give the vice president a more meaningful occupation...
