Term X Presidential Election: Runoff

civman2000 · March 15, 2003, 14:19

Runoff ends in 3 days, on 3/18. If no candidate receives a majority, the Court will decide what to do.

The Candidates:
MrWhereItsAt

EDIT: Aro has withdrawn from the election. Votes for him will be counted as abstentions.

EDIT: UnOrthOdOx has also withdrawn! MrWhereItsAt is the new president, and this election is closed.

Let me congratulate all three. You have produced the best presidential race in our history. This is also perhaps the hardest vote I've had to make and might have to use the "three coin toss" to decide. I throw a coin three times and the odd result wins.

Good Luck.
Aggie

All three canidates are excellent. It will be an honor to end the game under any of these three

Folks, thanks a lot. I'll try to make it easy for everybody...

I hereby announce my withdraw from the runoff.

Honestly, I'm honored to be in such good company, but you have already the best candidates for the job, and would be a waste if you don't vote in one of them... Good luck to both!

The Banana is back! I am astonished. A religious revival!

Mitchell must be glad now.

Aidun.

This poll has now become a mere technicality, and

I hereby announce my withdrawl from the Runoff poll

Aro · March 15, 2003, 18:56

But... UnOrthO, you are ahead... It's not a technicality! And I didn't vote yet!

UnOrthOdOx · March 15, 2003, 20:08

But it is, at least in my eyes.

Both MrWIA and I are each other's VP's (unless he has changed his mind) and we both have the same basic plan.

I cannot explain the reasons why to most people, but I see P and VP as the same position, not one over the other. In fact, I personally find VP to be more satisfying for reasons that would only confuse most people. So, it is thus now a technicality, and I resign.

btw, your PM box is full, have you tried changing the # of days shown on the top left to say 'from the beginning'?

Aro · March 15, 2003, 20:15

Ok, I understand... well, we have an excellent team now, for sure. MWIA, UnOrthO, Togas, Aggie and Aidun... It's a Dream Team!

Oh, I'll empty my PM box right now. Sorry...

MrWhereItsAt · March 16, 2003, 21:58

Yikes! Just as I don't check for a day or two and what happens?

At least there was a good, contested election this time.

Aro, UnOrthOdOx - you guys would have to be the two Demo Gamers here who have kept the fun aspect of things in mind the whole time. Thanks for making this a fun time, and I hope and imagine both of you will be right there when it's time to finally draw the curtain on this game.

So... a resurrection of most of Term 3, with the same Prez, VP (yes UnOrthO is my pick), FAM, SMC but Government is leaner than it was back then. We no longer have Ministers of Public Works, Imperial Expansion, Science and Economy and no City Planner or any of these positions' deputies.

Thus I just want to take a moment to remember the contribution of these guys, and how they hooked me into staying involved in this game. WhiteBandit, GodKing, Will 5001, Apocalypse, Donal Graeme, Spiffor, OPD, jdjdjd, rendelnep, Darkness' Edge, UberKruX, Gepap, adaMada - all members of the Term 3 Admin; cheers guys.

Instead of them we have Aidun as the Domestic Minister as governed by the NewCon, and from what I have seen so far of him and his work in Term 9, this would be a term to remember. That is if we actually expected it to go for longer than a week.

Aro · March 16, 2003, 22:23

Thanks, MWIA. I'll be there to win.

Btw, as Upper and Lower Germany RA, I'm part of this government, too. I'm honored.

Hey! That's right - the RGs.

Ecstatic to see that you are stuck here with us, Aro.

If only my election was this simple...

Congratulations MrWhereItsAt, from your Fanatikan counterpart.

MrWhereItsAt · March 16, 2003, 23:42

Octavian - cheers! That really does mean something, coming from the next-best Demo game.

Are you in elections right now?

Permit me to drop in and say hi to your citizens sometime...?

Jon Shafer · March 16, 2003, 23:45

Congrats Mwia, let me know when you're going to hold the last turnchat.

MrWhereItsAt · March 17, 2003, 09:56

Thanks Trip - there will be one this week likely by UnOrthO to prepare for the vote (AKA Operation Promise Foreign Aid for UN Vote In Our Favour..... hmmmm...... I won't say it...

), and then aimed at the weekend is the vote chat.

I'll keep everyone posted.

You just need to get a bunch of people to run for office over there that have no ego problems.
