NOMINATIONS for judicial and term 3 executive positions

Dear Apolemurians:

It is again time to come together and elect our government.
This will be the chance for you to express your desire for running for and office. It might be also a point in our history, where people might set a signal to our neighbours to change relations towards them.

Also, with this post the office of Senior Justice goes from mapfi to Gilgamensch, as stated in the constitution article III, section 2-c.

You can nominate yourself or anyone you wish, nobody has to accept a nomination though. You can, however, only run for one position! I have included the current office holders for convenience, they need however to be nominated too!
The nomination period would normally end on February 15th (Saturday), 12:00 GMT.

Judicial position:

One three-month term as judge, with the last term serving as Senior Justice. Judges cannot hold any executive position.
(currently held by Mapfi)
Nominated: H Tower

Executive positions:

A four-week term as minister, starting at the end of the election, approximately on the evening of Saturday, February 20th.

President:
(currently held by Pedrunn)
Nominated: Mapfi
Martin Gühmann
~~J Bytheway (rejected by candidate)~~

Minister of Domestic Affairs:
(currently held by Wise Ass)
Nominated: MrBaggins

Minister of Infrastructure:
(currently held by Iskallin)
Nominated: Iskallin

Minister of Diplomacy, Science and Trade:
(currently held by Locutus)
Nominated: Locutus

Minister of Defence:
(currently held by Turambar, replacement for Maquiladora)
Nominated: Turambar
Pedrunn
Zaphod

For a detailed description of each position read in the constitution, article II and III.

In the name of our constitution and the name of our people, Senior Justice Gilgamensch

Since I won't be seeking reelection as judge I'd like to nominate H Tower. I hope he accepts.
I feel that he is a perfect candidate. He knows the constitution in and out and he knows the job. I was always glad for his reasoning, always pointing out things I sometimes didn't see because of some overexcitement...

It's a pity he is not in the current court and I'd like to see him there again. So go HT!

MrBaggins · February 12, 2003, 08:50

I'd like to nominate myself for the Minister of Domestic Affairs

ískallin · February 12, 2003, 09:34

I nominate for minister of Infastructure as usual.

Turambar · February 12, 2003, 09:38

Another election? I just fought two nearly back to back!

I'll nominate myself for Minister Of Defence again.

Locutus · February 12, 2003, 11:19

I haven't decided for myself yet, but I wanna nominate mapfi and J Bytheway for President. Pedrunn already announced he isn't running again and both these guys did a fantastic job with the turn chats so far

Gilgamensch · February 12, 2003, 11:28

For H Tower I have to wait for his decision, he can't run for judge and President.

Might cause too much confusion and divertion for the voters.

Martin Gühmann · February 12, 2003, 12:41

Well as I have some time next month I can be get a little bit deeper into the game, therefore I nominate myself for President.

-Martin

Should be a good election if mapfi and J run too.

It definitely causes some confusion on my part. Who lost their marbles and nominated me for president??? I don't even own CtP2, as most people well know.

I will accept mapfi's nomination though, the court has certainly slowed down some since i last was in office and If a case or two arrises I will be able to devote the time neccesary to it.

Locutus, by nominating mapfi and J bytheway for President are you removing two possible contenders from the office you want to run for?

Pedrunn · February 12, 2003, 16:32

I do have interests on running for a third term presidency. It really is a great position. But i wont! I like discussions therefore i rather have a position with more chances to create officials polls and do wjat i like the most here in apolyton: Debates.
So nominate myself for Minister of Defense!

So see you in the elections Turambar!

Maquiladora · February 12, 2003, 17:29

Two war party members in the MoD election, should be a good one.

and a more important person than the presidant at the moment.

Ill be tracking your progress in our PBEM game Turambar to decide my vote.

Locutus · February 12, 2003, 18:59

H Tower,
I think he meant to say J Bytheway when he said H Tower

And no, I'm currently not considering running for Judge

I want to be a Judge eventually but I can't foresee what my planning in the next 3 months will look like.

I pitty Turambar, 3 tough elections in 1 month time. Shame on you, Pedrunn, give the guy a break

HuangShang · February 12, 2003, 21:03

wait which offices have no WarParty nominees?
i might sign up in a couple days so.........................................

Gilgamensch · February 13, 2003, 04:25

updated.

We still haven't got any MoDA. So citizens, who is a willing ~~slave~~ ahm I mean person willing to run for this office?

Gilgamensch · February 13, 2003, 04:27

And yes, I missread it, sorry about the slight 'mismatch'.

mapfi · February 13, 2003, 07:05

misread again - we have a MoDA but not a MoDST...

I officially announce myself running for president.

Furthermore I think the MoD election could be far more interesting if the APP was sending it a candidate too. Provided he accepts I'd like to nominate Zaphod. He seems to support the ongoing war now but isn't as stubborn on War as WP-members.

Gilgamensch · February 13, 2003, 07:34

got me..... I wanted to put MoDSaT, but it only got as far as MoDA, don't know why ?????????????

Gilgamensch · February 13, 2003, 12:45

Gents,

we are still waiting for a MoDSaT??????

Nobody interrested? We have to have one...........

come on gent's.............

child of Thor · February 13, 2003, 19:53

I don't like power over people - makes me want to be like Genghis Khan. So i stay away........for the good of the nation!
Can a MoDSaT bloodbath a city when he wants too, you know when you wake up and just feel a bit pi**ed off and you say to yourself,
'I feel like burning LemurTown to the ground today - that'll show them'. No? oh well its for the best then

Locutus · February 13, 2003, 20:16

Okay, I've figured it out. I'll run for the same position again

HuangShang · February 13, 2003, 22:47

i'll stay out of politics for another term.....

Gilgamensch · February 14, 2003, 05:08

Thank you Locutus

Meaning around 12:00 GMT

J Bytheway · February 14, 2003, 05:48

Thanks for the nomination, but after much thought I feel I must decline. Maybe later... Two candidates is enough for one election

.

Locutus · February 14, 2003, 05:58

Oh, come on, people, nominate yourselves!

Elections with only 1 candidate are no fun! Can't someone at least run for Min of Infrastructure or something? Since we barely have enough PW to build a single road (and we're still a while away from inventing Trade), it will hardly invovle any work and at least it will give us more interesting elections...
