Election: President

Darkness' Edge · October 30, 2002, 02:44

Three days.

Darkness' Edge · October 30, 2002, 02:58

A couple of reasons why you should vote for me..

I've always stood for following the will of the people 100%
After two terms as Vice-Pres under 123john321 and cavebear, I feel I deserve a shot at the big time
I'm relatively new blood

Any questions? You'll have to make it quick, because for reasons out of my control, I'll be out of town from tommorrow morning for four or five days.

In the case that I win, that will be enough time to finish the election period and allow the ministers to complete their polls, and I'll play the game as soon as I get back. Please don't use my brief absence as a reason to vote against me.

Three competent nominees !

Always the same question : new blood or the return of an experienced president ?

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the vote of the citizens !

H Tower · October 30, 2002, 17:19

now if you have enough DL's to cover the DL's voting for the others I might have a chance.

-Jrabbit · October 30, 2002, 19:30

I voted for Hydey but forgot to tell my DLs.

Messer Niccolò · October 31, 2002, 10:06

With Hydey on the president's seat we will easily win ... so one of the others will be my choice!

Sorry Hydey!

Looking at the results so far, I hereby concede defeat in this election. At this point, I plan to retire from public service for at least a month or two. I'll still vote in polls and voice my opinions, but I plan on taking a job over at the civ3 demo game as well as another, as-of-yet unnanounced position. Having been a part of every term for this 2nd demo game (city planner, VP, science minister), I'm glad to see where we've ended up. Good luck to whoever wins this election in the coming terms.

you could always take on the VP or the MoW position, whichever the second place finisher doesn't want.

can I have your votes?

Hydey has lots of experience as foreign minister, which will become increasingly important as a Democracy later on in the game. Hydey for prez!

Hydey · November 2, 2002, 08:30

F*CK its close, I'm really pissed so vote for me

cavebear · November 2, 2002, 10:36

So, does this mean there is another runoff? or what?

H Tower · November 2, 2002, 14:25

yep, yet another run off. *sigh*

JCP · November 2, 2002, 16:03

As noone has the property of the votes for him, the run off is the only solution !

cavebear · November 2, 2002, 16:38

I wasn't sure, because ixnay conceded before the election was over. But I agree there should be a runoff. The 3 people who voted for ixnay might have preferred Hydey as their 2nd choice. Or Darkness' Edge.

On another matter, why don't I send the 1550 game file to the Ministers so they can do their polls. That way, the new President can play a session as soon as he is elected. I can't think of any problems that would cause.

mrboo123 · November 2, 2002, 17:37

Me either, it will give me something to do.

Hydey · November 2, 2002, 20:10

I would have no problem with cavebear sending the game on, we need to keep it moving.

H Tower · November 2, 2002, 22:40

I was just about to suggest that cavebear send on the game file to the ministers so they could start posting polls. Please get on that, and the presidential election will be decided just before the reports are do.

oh yeah, please vote in the Runoff election in this thread:

cavebear · November 2, 2002, 22:52

As it stands at the moment, no Minister has sent me his email address...

Wake up folks...

cavebear

H Tower · November 2, 2002, 22:56
