Aro, congratulations with your victory, may your term be as good as the current term and all glorious terms before.

Aidun

Nimitz · January 17, 2003, 13:58

Well looks like I'm going to stay a justice well oh well there all ways an other term.

GodKing · January 17, 2003, 14:44

Still haven't voted yet, but I did last time..... so others are comming out of the woodwork. Good.

Question - which election determins quarum? As a judge I would say this one. Anybody else have an opinion.

DAVOUT · January 17, 2003, 14:49

The quarum, I have not the faintest idea, but for the quorum, I would agree with you.

GodKing · January 17, 2003, 14:51

picky picky......

I would say the poll that actually elected the President.

The previous one simply elected the top two candidates. This one should elect the President.

That is, assuming your question was regarding a quorum and not an aquarium....

Personally, I'd probably say the original, as that was the 'standardized' poll that was guarenteed to happen -- whereas this poll could be seen as just 'clarifying' the original. Having said that, that's just my own personal opinion -- it's not something the ConCon discussed at all, IIRC.

cmon people, it's not too late for a few more Arnelos votes!

Aidun · January 17, 2003, 19:22

Arnelos back in the race, I didn't expect it at this stage, but well: ARNELOS! ARNELOS!

* Crowd before the Senate shouts: ARNELOS! ARNELOS!

Arnelos · January 17, 2003, 21:09

it's tied again... geesh. I think some people obviously WANT to see how the Court will handle this one better/worse than the E_T/GhengisFarb one...

Zarn · January 17, 2003, 21:59

I vote Arnelos, breaking the tie. I am a citizen here as well as Fanatika.

-Lord Master Zarn of the Jedi Knights, Ambassador to Apolyton, and Census Leader of Fanatika

Togas · January 17, 2003, 22:03

The Court has already been discussing what we would do IF this election is tied. Should this election end as such we have a plan ready to be enacted at that time.

So long as no one cries "voter fraud." Please, please, please don't cry voter fraud or you're going to force us to review the votes which could take as long as one week.

Wouldn't that just mean I'd stay on as President (making it rather pointless anyhow)?

If Aro wins, on the other hand, that could be annoying. I'd let Aro make decisions as I don't think there's been any cheating.

civman2000 · January 17, 2003, 22:12

Wow, my plea was meant to be a desperate and semi-joking comment. I never expected that 3 more votes for Arnelos would actually materialize!

civman2000 · January 17, 2003, 22:19

This is offtopic, but I'd like to ask it here anyways:
Togas, since nye resigned, tere has been no Chief Justice. Although i know you rotate running the cases, the constitution says you have to elect a Chief Justice. Have you been chosen as chief justice (you made the elections and are running cases 9 and 10) or are you just being the most active member of the court right now and there is no chief justice?

Edit so i don't end up with a ton of posts in a row:
Aah! Another Aro vote! It's tied again!

Edit again:
Another Aro vote! The votes keep piling on! And tehre's still a whole day left in the election!

aleion · January 17, 2003, 22:34

Wow this is close......I'm gonna Vote Abstain UNLESS some1 gives me a reason to vote for the canidates....HURRY!

Nimitz · January 17, 2003, 22:39

Arnelos has experiance, has done good for the nation, and we don't want an abstain now.

Meshelic · January 17, 2003, 22:42

Aleion - Vote Aro he's in the Labor Party! And he's never been in office! And he's Brazillian!

oh boy this election has gotten way more dramatic in the last moments....wow

I'm not officially Cheif Justice, but I've been "acting" as such because most of the other Judges have been too busy.

We haven't resolved the Cheif Justice issue entirely as there's some disagrement about how it should be handled. But after Case #10 is done, if we get a little break, I think we'll hash it out. We've had too many other cases lately that have interrupted the discussion.

Thud · January 17, 2003, 22:49

Aleion, please vote for Arnelos. I beleive that Arnelos runs the game efficiently and effectively. I beleive that Aro, though he is a good person and very capable, cannot do so as well. You can even base this on his own statements in the campaign thread.

civman2000 · January 17, 2003, 22:57

Arnelos: Experience. A moderate. A fighter for the people and the industrialization of Apolytonia. A supporter of freedom for the slaves. Vote for him and you are voting for a good future for Apolytonia!

Arnelos · January 17, 2003, 23:00

aleion,

I posted an answer to your question in the other thread.

Meshelic · January 17, 2003, 23:01

All these DIA cronies preaching the goodness of Arnelos....I wonder what kind of monetary reward is in store for them...

hehe j/k

civman2000 · January 17, 2003, 23:04

looks like he's chosen Aro

Thud · January 17, 2003, 23:21

*Switches Church name to Chirstian Coalition of Apolytonia*

Vote for Arnelos and you will be rewarded in the hereafter!

It's a good thing that nobody has formed the Apolytonian Civil Liberties Union yet

civman2000 · January 17, 2003, 23:25

ACtually, way back in the beginning, when the parties were forming, i considered making an ACLU. It would've been like the DIA, but only represented the "Democratic" part and not the "Industrialists" part. It would've been a bipartisan organization for those wishing to make the game more democratic, regardless of their game strategy,

C'mon people! Nimitz, my running mate, has lost all three of his previous elections! He should win one for a change!

(Aro has three losses to go in order to catch up to Nimitz

)

Tsk, tsk, tsk. The great banana informs me he is displeased with such promises, all know whose ticket the prophet is on.

EDIT: See, now you can't vote for Aro because of the pity-factor.
