Nominations Term IV

Joeno · November 16, 2002, 07:43

It's that time of the month again - Nominations for term 4.

Since it looks like the Governors proposal will pass, I am opening nominations for the Director of Internal Affairs. If it doesn't... well, then I'll have a problem

Maniac · November 16, 2002, 08:20

Unless of course no one else volunteers.

Oh yeah, and what about the Internal Affairs - Governor question? When will that finally be resolved?

Joeno · November 16, 2002, 08:56

Unless no others apply, true, but that'd need to be resolved after nominations ended.

Since the whole governor/Director of Internal Affairs thing hasn't been ended yet, I've decided to not include it yet, but instead use the old structure for now.

AdamTG02 · November 16, 2002, 11:14

I am running for Director of Science.

Archaic · November 16, 2002, 11:55

Do I seriously need to post it? Director of Social Engineering

Maniac · November 16, 2002, 11:59

I have no idea! The future of my current job is dependent on the governor discussions. Furthermore I'm wondering if there will be Commissioner-countercandidate for Darkness' Edge. TKG? Lemmy?

damn you adam! you'll let me rent The Lab basement, won't you?

as for a job, i'm waiting on the outcome of the DIA/governors situation. i wouldn't mind the DIA job, and if it's not created, then i'll consider something in DIE/DTC/DBP perhaps.

GeneralTacticus · November 16, 2002, 18:29

Director of Foreign Affairs, again (I'd like to actually do something with the Planetary Council).

Darkness' Edge · November 17, 2002, 02:22

As I'm about to say in the other thread, I think we should wait another term, and hash out the governor issue properly. It needs at least one more rewrite, it's just not ready - and it's really going to mess up this election if we try to institute it now.

I'm not sure what I'm going to run for, or if I'm going to run at all. I'm feeling a bit burnt-out, DG-wise, especially with the Court turning into a fiasco. I probably won't run for DoPO again...if I run at all, it's likely to be for Commissioner. I wouldn't mind another shot...but it might be nice to give someone else a go.

Drogue · November 17, 2002, 06:09

It'd be a shame to lose you as a director, DE. I agree to wait for the Directors though, maybe do Midterms or elect them for term 5.

DeathByTheSword · November 17, 2002, 08:52

put me up for DoP and governer

Lemmy · November 18, 2002, 09:17

/me lurks around the DEI sign-up booth, scaring away any potential candidates

Method · November 18, 2002, 16:37

i'd like to run for Director of Internal Affairs

if the ammendment doesn't pass (and we're all hoping it does) i'll (

@lemmy) go for DEI

Drogue · November 18, 2002, 16:55

I'd like to run for Director of Exploration and Intelligence if the amendment passes.

If by some freak of voting behavior (at 6:1 sofar I think) it doesnt then i'll go for Director of Energy and Industry.

Method · November 19, 2002, 17:37

joeno, you want to add governors to your list?

Drogue · November 19, 2002, 17:41

Can directors be governors?

Hercules · November 19, 2002, 21:20

I would like to run for Director of Social Engineering. Citizens know my outlook and free environmentally friendly Black Stuff (to sample) on me for a while.
Aside (good to get that Lemmy case over, nasty business)

Method · November 19, 2002, 21:36

pssst! hecules! no DIE this term! governors!

we need a commissioner though...

Hercules · November 19, 2002, 21:44

I realised that after I went back and read the threads and amendment proposal. Though technically........could be a case for the UN Supreme Court.

Joeno · November 20, 2002, 05:29

Should the governors be elected already? It's not very clear how this should happen - how to elect, how to decide on regions, whether directors can be governors, etc.

And Hercules: Shall I classify it as an emergency, because the poll about it is running during election time? I've got the right to act as I see fit, then

Darkness' Edge · November 20, 2002, 07:21

I think there's a simple solution.

We elect a DIA, and he has the uber-ministry, and manages everything for a week.

Then we elect the governors, and the system gets up and running.

Sound okay?

And on the elections...

I notice Lemmy hasn't declared a nomination.

I nominate him for Commish, and if he accepts, I'll nominate for Alpha Talent.

But if he doesn't accept, count me in for Commish.

Lemmy · November 20, 2002, 08:05

I'm nominating myself for alpha talent, i don't thinki i'll have the time be commish in december, maybe in january.

uhm, isn't that a LOT of work? what if we kept on maniac for a week to do the DTC work, and the DIA could to the rest?

Drogue · November 20, 2002, 17:46

Well... that is true, and mucho power. Sounds like a good idea to me. Is Maniac up for it? And has he decided what to run for yet?

Method · November 20, 2002, 17:49

not yet.

TC orders are huge, but BP and IE orders a less stressful to do.

if only i could be the DoR still...
/me sighs

Maniac · November 20, 2002, 18:02

I wouldn't mind giving those orders, but there's no point if DBTS doesn't follow them.

For the moment I'm not running for anything.
I'm thinking about:
1) most likely: no position (Reason: I should study a bit more)
2) governor of Concordia and all the bases north of it (Reason: my home town)
3) commissioner (Reason: let's try if I can execute orders better. Problem: a) lack of time to do more than simply playing once or twice a week and b) unbeatable competition)

Drogue · November 20, 2002, 18:14

Hmmmm... We have too possible Commish's neither of which particularly want to do it (DE and Maniac)

I'll be acting DTC for a week if needs be TKG.

whoa, hold on! i havn't won the election yet!

Darkness' Edge · November 21, 2002, 04:04

Then, if Lemmy's not interested in Commish, I formally nominate for Commissioner.

Fitting, really. I start us off, and then return just over a century later.
