tie goes to an actual poster in my opinion. even if it is someone I don't like.

CannonFodder · April 9, 2003, 18:22

PM'ed my email to the President. I hope that atomant will send the save to him ASAP so we can get started.

I thought the cabinet voted on a tie

even with the banana.

actually we have a run off, and then the cabinet votes. but i'm willing to skip all that, the whole process just isn't worth it in my opinion.

Hydey · April 9, 2003, 19:02

I agree just let the banana win

Six Thousand Year Old Man · April 9, 2003, 19:06

How about I offer to withdraw my vote, thereby breaking the tie? I was drunk when I voted.

So the banana wins when?

It's a secret, who I voted for.

But it's sort of a King Solomon's solution... the candidate who protests the most shouldn't be elected, anyway

atomant · April 10, 2003, 01:36

If Mr. WIA could forward me his email address, then the save game file will be sent.

I agree - let's not bother with a run off election - I'm willing to withdraw my vote for the banana.

War4ever · April 10, 2003, 16:11

bring on the raging hordes

atawa · April 10, 2003, 16:25

Is my poll still open?

CannonFodder · April 10, 2003, 17:06

Where is MWIA!?

cavebear · April 10, 2003, 18:20

Not sure. MWIA's last post was April 8th. I have the game map and I will send it to him, but I can't find his email address.

mrboo123 · April 10, 2003, 18:40

Should I go then? Should we have a poll?

I emailed him through Apolyton (doesn't require knowing the address). But it won't let me attach a file. Let's give him some time to respond. I think it is morning now where he is.

cavebear · April 11, 2003, 08:11

Well, I'm baffled. MrWhereItsAt has not answered my Apolyton email message, he hasn't posted anywhere for almost 3 days (and with an average of 6.33 posts per day, that seems pretty odd), he disappeared at the very time the elections were about complete, and he must have known he was leading the poll.

My assumption would be that a real life event has interfered with his abilty to communicate with us.

I suggest the Cabinet members get together and decide what to do.

Am I one of the cabinet members?

ColdWizard · April 11, 2003, 11:19

checking my #apolyton log, MWIA was in there on the 8th, but didn't say anything about being away

atawa · April 11, 2003, 11:25

If MWIA isnt back on sunday I say let the VP start the game.

We should get the game underway this weekend.

CannonFodder · April 11, 2003, 17:13

Someone at the very least tell me what starting techs we have...

atawa · April 11, 2003, 17:33

We should start with a clean start.

Lets give AI some chance.....

Another good question...

We have Masonry. IIRC, that starts us *off* "The Perfect Path", doesn't it?

I'll be around all weekend, so as soon as someone is designated to start the game, I'll send them the map.

I think it is up to the rest of the Cabinet to decide what to do with human/banana ties. Not having the President around to lead the decision makes it awkward, though.

I would be inclined to suggest that a tie goes to the human, just as a matter of practicality, but I also think it would be entirely legitimate for the Cabinet to choose some other method of breaking the tie.

A fight to the death perhaps?

Ben Kenobi · April 11, 2003, 19:45

A posting paper scissors rock competition. Post to see that two people are online, then both try to post at the same time. James Adams will take one, and someone else can take the banana side.

Bob_Smurf42 · April 11, 2003, 20:34

Or PM rock, paper, or scissors to cavebear or someone else.
Although a fight to the death would be interesting...gladiator style!

lock the contestants in an arena with a sword each...toss in some hungry lions and you're good to go!
