you have 3 days

DE is a shoo-in.

Hercules · October 26, 2002, 13:28

Darkness' edge has it

Nubclear · October 26, 2002, 16:14

Hm......this is a tough decision. ..........

Reluctantly, I vote for DE

Darkness' Edge · October 26, 2002, 21:41

I hate to do this with elections started and all, (and especially with 100% of the vote

), but the Constitution forces me to withdraw my candidacy.

My school year is coming to an end soon, and as such, I've been planning to stand for Commissioner again in December. But, as TKG just pointed out, serving this term as DoPO would render my December bid unconstitutional, as I'd be serving more than three terms in government.

Hopefully someone can be found to fill the position, and I sincerely apologise for causing a by-election.

GeneralTacticus · October 26, 2002, 22:21

Oh, ****. You did have to remember that when the elections had alreadys started, didn't you?

Hercules · October 26, 2002, 22:22

This is unexpected. DE we don't want to lose you.

Darkness' Edge · October 27, 2002, 00:01

I'd completely forgotten about it. It was only when TKG brought it up in another thread that I remembered.

moomin · October 27, 2002, 04:04

Given how few people are active here, our constitution is seriously dysfunctional.

GeneralTacticus · October 27, 2002, 04:09

I agree. It's one thing to set term limits when there are dozens of people involved, it's quite another to do so when we have trouble finding enough people to fill all the vacant slots.

MrWhereItsAt · October 27, 2002, 09:21

I can be in the silly position if there is no other option. Take note now though, that I will be out of the country (and likely the game) afre the 17th of November. So consider me a last resort.

Since I can't be a judge

I may as well try to be as involved as possible before being basically disallowed from much participation for three months.

you really have had bad luck. missed out on sept because you were C3 pres, missed out on october because you were away for the debate, missed out on judge...

but now, you're holding 3 posititions at once to make up for it

MrWhereItsAt · October 27, 2002, 11:16

Make UP for it?

You can have it, TKG - any time you want it. The only advantage is my sig makes me look utterly crazy.

MrWhereItsAt · October 28, 2002, 07:01

So.... have you actually stepped down, DE?

Darkness' Edge · October 28, 2002, 07:12

*reads the discussion thread on killing the clause*

I think, on reading this, I should be able to stay on, as I'm hopefully of the three-term clause dying in an amendment.

Problem solved.

That's cool then.

Excellent. Our constitution needs to wrk for us, not the other way around.
