GT, if you read this, could you please change the title to Term VIII government? Thanks.

Kassiopeia · March 16, 2003, 14:16

I nominate myself for Director of Science.

DeathByTheSword · March 16, 2003, 14:20

i am not sure what i am going to do...if anything....but commissioner or DPO is something up my alley if anything

Maniac · March 16, 2003, 16:22

Kassiopeia and TKG (per PM) have nominated themselves. DBTS seems not sure yet, so I'll wait a bit with writing up his nominations until he confirms.

Drogue · March 16, 2003, 19:32

I'll go for Director of Peace Keeping Operations. I want my intelligence units back

You get used to living of 'donations'

Maniac, you going for anything?

Archaic · March 17, 2003, 00:48

Director of Social Engineering. If there's a region of liberated Hive bases, I'll also go for governor of that.

GeneralTacticus · March 17, 2003, 02:48

I'll be going for my old job as Director of Peacekeeping Operations, as well as going back to being Governor of Centralis.

MrWhereItsAt · March 17, 2003, 11:03

Ah, you guys going for DPO just want to play with the Choppers I am so painfully extracting from the Governors, don't you?

Don't worry, I will get you Shard weapons. I got you HoverTanks....

lucky22 · March 17, 2003, 11:41

I'm in for Governor of Solaris again.

DeathByTheSword · March 17, 2003, 15:01

me is going for AT IF maniac goes for Commisioner....if not i am probably going for commissioner

Hercules · March 17, 2003, 22:33

Put me down for DFA please. It has been a difficult period, but I did step down from DPO so as not to frustrate matters.

Drogue · March 18, 2003, 06:29

If Herc doesn't mind, I'd like to run for Governor of Akiria again. It will stay as a Green Paradise

Maniac · March 18, 2003, 07:50

Thanks for all your nominations. Now only the Aurillian and Jedinican regions need a governor.

TKG announced per PM he's running for DIA as well.

And I'll surrender to the massive peer pressure I've received

and run for Commissioner. Therefore I wrote DBTS as Alpha Talent.

Gee, who might be appropriate for Jedinica? I'll give you a hint: He ran it up until this term

Voltaire · March 18, 2003, 16:08

NOOOOOOO!!!! I’m away for a few days and TKG attempts to usurp my throne in the Twin Sea region.

Seriously though I will not run for any position this term, I’ve found myself too occupied with study lately to pay much attention to the boards, though I will check in regularly.

Voltaire · March 18, 2003, 16:29

Actually, I’ll run for the Aurillion Governor position, preparing for my triumphant return to the streets of New Suez.

Cedayon · March 18, 2003, 20:20

Uh, Maniac, I wasn't nominating myself for JV, I was hinting that *you* should run for it

MrWhereItsAt · March 18, 2003, 21:18

Can some outgoing Governor recommend a good region? I don't know what the regions are, nor their extent.

Cedayon · March 18, 2003, 22:02

Well, you could go for JV if Maniac isn't running for it (I won't be). You might like Aurillion too, it is the industrial center of the faction (for now), though you'd have to run against Voltaire.

MrWhereItsAt · March 18, 2003, 22:15

A contest is what I want.

Oops!

I must have overlooked the "up until". But I don't plan to become Jedinican governor, certainly not when going for Commissioner as well.

Can I read this that you want to go for Aurillion?

DeathByTheSword · March 19, 2003, 08:03

put me up for the liberated region also....then we might have a contest atleast. and inforcing martial law wont be a big problem for me

Maniac · March 22, 2003, 17:46

Voltaire won't be running for Aurillion anymore. This means we still need governors for Aurillion and Jedinica, and possible one for a sea region. MWIA, Cedayon, Hercules???

Cedayon · March 22, 2003, 23:11

Sorry, I won't be available for anything. I'll perform my duties as Justice next term, then I'm gone.

Maniac · March 23, 2003, 08:48

Gone? As in leaving the game? Any particular reason?

Maniac · March 23, 2003, 08:52

I've given my nomination for Commissioner some further thought. It's really annoying that with every turnchat there are orders missing because of the small interest in the smacdg in general, and even smaller interest in becoming an official. For that reason, if not all positions have a candidate the 25th, I will no longer run for Commissioner. I'm sure DeathByTheSword will do a good job as Commissioner.

DeathByTheSword · March 23, 2003, 13:23

........damn........you are taking AT and a region then?

Maniac · March 23, 2003, 16:46

No, then I won't take any position. I'm now even considering of taking no position no matter if enough people nominate themselves to fill all offices. This game has lost most of the fun for me as we have become too powerful.
