Election: President

MrWhereItsAt · April 13, 2003, 22:06

And now we must elect the man to actually play the game: to direct our people from their first beginnings as far as we dare.

Choose one of the following to be named the Big Kahuna, the Captain, the head cheese, numero uno honcho, the President.

MrWhereItsAt
panag
Banana

We have 5 days, until 0213GMT Saturday 19 April.

hey, i may be white, but isn't there a grammer error there?

Senior = Mister
Donde = Where
Esta = conjugated Estar (am, or is) to either third person, or "you" formal.

don't you need a "lo" to make the word "it"?

SrDondeEstalo ? or is it Estarlo?

or am i a dumb white kid?

But I wouldn't trust him farther than you could throw him.

I wouldn't bother to throw him, you might catch something if you touch him!

BTW, I voted for panag. I think he has many talents in the area of communications that will seep over to the AI. The AI will not know how to properly react to his fine style. Given this is a Diety game we will need all the bonuses we can get.

panag for President!

I understand what you are getting at, but actually the word "it" isn't necessary when translating this phrase in spanish.

Thus, it is said "Sr. Donde Está [eso]", the "eso" would be the "it" but you don't have to say it because the conjugated form of estar actually implies that something (the "it") is being referred to, that's why you don't have to add the "lo" prefix.

anyway, not bad spanish Uber

Oh, and BigFree and WB, you guys are just ACHING to get your butts kicked in the PBEMs... even the one where I'm Korea!!

I love it when election threads go off topic.

Thud · April 14, 2003, 19:59

Okay, I shall determine who gets my vote based on who promises to put me into office as a Justice. A nice posh cave, a title, and some land wouldn't hurt much either.

MrWhereItsAt · April 14, 2003, 20:34

Hey, you want to put yourself forward as a judge, Thudf? You should have done so - in the nominations thread.

I'll do a confrimation of judges poll soonish, and since we aim to have 5, I'll add you in.

That's not doing you a favour for votes, that's 'cos we need the judges.

Thud · April 14, 2003, 20:42

Oh, I did MWIA. Just wanted a posh cave. Or something.

Btw, that 'not a favour' seems a lot like a really underhanded political manipulation. I congratulate you.

civman2000 · April 14, 2003, 20:56

About the judges, if we continue using the NewCon, I see no reason to replace judges whose terms from the first game are not up yet.

Hot_Enamel · April 14, 2003, 23:40

Have either played and won on Deity ?

MrWhereItsAt · April 15, 2003, 03:48

I can happily say I've never tried Deity. Fortunately, the President does not dictate how we make our plays, just facilitates debate and actually carries out the team's wishes. I have certainly learned a lot from the DG, however. As a direct consequence of involvement in the first DG, I have upped my difficulty level. I have won a few more times on Regent and have started an Emperor game (although have so far lacked the time to continue with it).

I see myself more as a Demogamer than a strategist, although I am a lot more confident with good strategy now. I enjoy and believe I am good at dealing with other Demogamers to ensure we get the best teamwork possible. In the end, isn't that exactly what you want in a President? Someone who pushes the game and discussion along, listens to those who are more knowledgeable than he is, defers to the will of the people and still knows enough to take a lead role in discussions wherever it is needed.

have a nice day

WhiteBandit · April 16, 2003, 00:45

Well, believe it or not, I think this is quite an important question for our future President to be. After much debating in #Apolyton, I figured I'd bring it upon myself to ask this.

Have either of you seen a woman naked?

Now we are placing bets and there is nothing personal here! But we are just betting with Mr. WhereItsAt's charisma, he has had to have seen all of New Zealand in the nude.

Come on guys, fill us in on the details!!
(Perhaps I'll make a tabloid paper!

)

BigFree · April 16, 2003, 00:47

I second this very genuine question. Charisma can go a long way baby!

Rasbelin · April 16, 2003, 04:47

Bananas.

That's also why we elect Vice Presidents

MrWhereItsAt · April 17, 2003, 00:39

No issues here GodKing. And to everyone - vote for whoever, for whatever reason you want. Just make sure you believe they will be able to do the job properly.

Trust me, WB. After two terms with MrWIA, I promise you will get a chance to work should he win.

What, MrWIA? Stop looking at me like that...

Hey, we all know I was doing all the work for you

Thanks to all who voted. The elections are over, a Government is being formed and all we await now are the Civ colour (please vote in the soon-to-be topped thread!) and the map to come from its designers.....

Panag · April 19, 2003, 19:01
