Election: Judges

Drogue · December 28, 2002, 08:46

I'm not sure we're allowed to post any new threads, but I don't think this can wait much longer, as we seem to need the court to settle our first dispute, so here goes:

Please vote for up to 5 candidates, not more, but less if you wish. The 5 with the most votes become Judges. It really is that simple

Options are (in alphabetical order):
Drogue - Akiria
GeneralTacticus - Centralis
H Tower - Zoran
Rasbelin - Suomi
red_jon - Redfern
redbull - Pasiphae
reismark - Alien Races
Tassadar500 - Sovietskii Soyuz

You have 3 days.

Everyone who votes for me get free ... err ... sandwiches!

Drogue · December 29, 2002, 17:39

red_jon Has asked me to add his votes to the tally, since he has been banned, and so cannot vote in the normal way. Therefore, at the end of the election, one vote will be added to each of:
Redfern
Centralis
Akiria
Suomi
Alien Races.
He will also post this on the NationStates Apolyton Region page, just so you know I'm not making it up

Drogue · December 29, 2002, 18:27

Well, if they have nations in Apolyton region, there welcome to. Until then, I'm afraid not. This is not official until red_jon posts on the region page, so we can verify it is correct.

how do you know that he hasn't already voted?

he wasn't banned at the time this thread was started (see who made the first response?)

Drogue · December 29, 2002, 18:47

Very true. However I trust him, and if he was being unsportsmanlike, he would have only voted for himself. I don't think it's really worth anyone lying about it, and his PM seemed sincere to me. Hence I would accept it, but if people have a problem, please write it here.

H Tower · December 29, 2002, 20:17

no problem, i just wish he had voted for me

I was the first person to vote on the poll, and that was a while after he had made that post.

H Tower · December 30, 2002, 15:22

i saw his vote at nationstates, it's fine.

how long does this poll remain open for?

Drogue · December 30, 2002, 16:26

midday ish tomorrow, 3 days after conception.

ColdWizard · December 30, 2002, 19:59

40+ countries and only 18 (technically 19 including rj) voters so far? such poor voter turnout....

GeneralTacticus · December 30, 2002, 20:22

It's starting to remind me of the ACDG...

Drogue · December 30, 2002, 20:36

But some countries in the region are not members of Apolyton, and some members do not wish to have or use a court, which they're free to do. This could explain about much of the voter apathy.

Rasbelin · December 31, 2002, 02:38

GT: Yeap, this starts to look almost like a DG.

Dis · December 31, 2002, 04:19

What do judges do again?

GeneralTacticus · December 31, 2002, 04:23

Mediate disputes between nations in the Apolyton region. The original reason for this whole thing getting started was a disupute over Ubinia sending throwing stones to animal liberationists in the FIR.

aahz_capone · December 31, 2002, 10:47

Tell me when Osweld and I can apply for the first court session.
I have the transcripts of all our arguments.

ColdWizard · December 31, 2002, 11:15

looks like Tassadar, reismark, Rasbelin, GenTacticus, and Drogue are the winners

H Tower · December 31, 2002, 13:02

EDIT: forgot about redfren's vote

red_jon · January 1, 2003, 11:50

Yaay, I'm unbanned.

H Tower - sorry I didn't vote for ya, I just glanced over the list quickly
