Can you please send a PM to H Tower with your vote for President so that the game can move along, you are spoiling the fun for everyone.

H Tower please close this thread when you finally get the vote

When atomant votes, it will become very obvious on who has finally won.

Who is atomant? Is he a minister? Can we move to have him impeached if he is for not fulfilling his duties?

H Tower · November 7, 2002, 19:49

atomant is the last minister to have not voted, i think he's in charge of Imperial Expansion

mrboo123 · November 7, 2002, 20:52

Ya, "it" is (I don't know if "it" is a she or a he.)

H Tower · November 7, 2002, 21:47

*sigh* does anyone else remember this post of atomant's?

"I wonder what would happen if the Minister or Imperial Expansion were to abstain..... "

So what do we do now?

Darkness' Edge · November 7, 2002, 22:34

well you could always follow john's suggestion

Hydey · November 8, 2002, 05:51

If he abstains I would suggest that H tower cast a deciding vote so that we can get the game moving.

MrWhereItsAt · November 8, 2002, 07:59

Or H Tower randomly selects a posting member to cast the vote. This person may have to remain anonymous, I guess, though I don't really know why - it seems to be what should happen.

mrboo123 · November 8, 2002, 09:06

I like MrWIA's idea, just pick someone, or H tower can vote.

What suggestion, I ask if "it" was a he or a she.

Sorry for my tardiness.... have a board meeting to prepare for. My vote will be for Hydey

-Jrabbit · November 8, 2002, 09:12

Sent a PM to atomant last night. His profile (and the post listed by H Tower) suggest that this might how he gets his kicks...

Judging by H Tower's silence, it seems fair to assume that we currently have another tie.

I suggest we use whatever tiebreaker the 2 candidates can agree on. Some possibilities...

1. H Tower votes (and keeps the result secret?).
2. Alternate Prez-VP posts between each game session this month.
3. Randomly select a Citizen to cast deciding vote. (Fraught with perils imho)
4. Have the orignial 3rd candidate, ixnay 37, decide.
5. Cage match.
6. Have H Tower fly to Africa, find atomant, and smack him around until he votes.
7. Other.

I do think the only fair thing is to have the candidates agree on something. Personally, I think the fair thing is power-sharing, since there is no clear-cut ppl's choice.

Whattya say, boys?

Darkness' Edge · November 8, 2002, 09:17

-Jrabbit: Hydey and I had already agreed on a solution - that H Tower would pick.

However, at exactly the same moment you posted that, atomant has reappeared and announced his support for Hydey.

I thank the people that voted for me their support, wish Hydey the best of luck in his term, and announce my retirement from C2DG politics.

mrboo123 · November 8, 2002, 09:17

Well, they Atomant, where you sick, did you go a trip and forgot to tell ever one? Did you go somewhere to vist where they don't have a comptuer, (said, most places in Africa?) Were you sige by terrios or reboulb solders? Did you have to sudlies for shcool? Did you get hrut? Becuase thats the good resons I can think of right now.

mrboo123 · November 8, 2002, 09:18

Well I'll be damed, I posted at the same time you said your reiting from poicts.

atomant · November 8, 2002, 09:32

Look I voted and for those who have asked:

Yes I live/work in Zim as an expat and will be here for the next few years.

Now under normal circumstances I check the site on a daily basis, but only checked once yesterday morning my time as I have the small issue of a board meeting to chair. That is aside from the job of generally trying to stay alive, sane and safe in a country that is steadily driving itself into oblivion. Additionally I have the added responsibility of keeping 27 people employed, with an average family size of five. As you can imagine, this can be almost stressful.

If someone wants me gone from office, let him/her step up to the plate and nominate him/herself for the job in the first place. I am more than willing to hand over the reins I am not going to be involved if selected individuals expect me to have this website open 24/7. Incidentally, I only received the save game file today, so it makes life extremely difficult, especially when trying to organise a discussion, let alone chart a way forward.

To answer one of the last emails:

1. H Tower votes (and keeps the result secret?).

Already voted

2. Alternate Prez-VP posts between each game session this month.

See comment on one above.

3. Randomly select a Citizen to cast deciding vote. (Fraught with perils imho)

Concur, but see response for one above...

4. Have the orignial 3rd candidate, ixnay 37, decide.

See one above

5. Cage match.

YEAH!!!!

6. Have H Tower fly to Africa, find atomant, and smack him around until he votes.

I am sure the guy with the gun guarding my gate would have something to say about that, and if you manage to get past him, the doberman, the great dane, a 12 guage up the arse should fix things. Anyway I voted

7. Other.

To summarise...... I VOTED.

Please excuse my humour I am trying to do a budget with an inflation rate of 43% per month.

SO no emoticons.

DE, you ran a fine campaign, and your contributions here have been strong and positive.

Won't you consider one last month, perhaps as comibination VP-Defense Minsiter?? Your retirement from public life would be a huge blow to the game.

The ppl need you! (Half of them even prefer you!!

)

-Jrabbit · November 8, 2002, 09:52

Let me just post my public apology to atomant for any of comments I made that were insensitive and/or wrong.

Sorry, dude -- and welcome back.

-Jrabbit · November 8, 2002, 09:53

Hmmm... I just realized that we're all making an assumption here.

Hydey is not the Prez until H Tower confirms it...

cavebear · November 8, 2002, 10:45

I note that H Tower did not say that atomant's vote would decide the election, just that it would be obvious who won when he could post the results. I'll wait for H Tower to make an announcement...

H Tower · November 8, 2002, 11:23

thank god that's over
