Well, this seems as good a time as any to announce my retirement. I had a blast with you guys setting up the constitution and then participating in those early court cases, but the cases have dried up, and I've found very few ways in which to participate since the turn chats always seem to be scheduled at a time when I'm not available. I wish you guys the best of luck, Onward to victory!

Gilgamensch · May 20, 2003, 10:58

Sorry to see you leaving.......

I hope you'll be still participating and fullfill your duty as a citizen, or??????????????

child of Thor · May 20, 2003, 16:25

Don't be a stranger H Tower, and thanks for all the work you put in to get the DG going........at least vote in the polls from time to time(you have a city named after you). Sorry to see you go

mapfi · May 21, 2003, 04:51

have we prolonged the nomination period only to look longer at empty places?... Come on people - it's not like it's a lot of work, especially not at the pace the game's currently running (at least it's running)

Gilgamensch · May 21, 2003, 05:22

I am thinking of applying for MoDIT, but not sure yet......

ískallin · May 24, 2003, 05:18

i'll nom for MoDIT
(lets have some campaigning gil

edit: no i withdraw my nomination, after checking everything i just have to much to do.

Gilgamensch · May 24, 2003, 10:06

ískallin,

feel ashamed, I would have liked to have a nice dirty

campaign again

And just to make sure:

I'll nominate myself for MoDIT, allthough I should already say, that next week, I'll only have limited access (Thursday till Sunday).

Tamerlin · May 24, 2003, 15:30

I have forgotten to nominate myself in time...

Immortal Wombat · May 24, 2003, 17:07

you have 23 minutes left...

mapfi · May 24, 2003, 17:12

I won't have time to post the elections till tomorrow afternoon my time - so feel free to nominate yourself for another 12-15 hours...

Locutus · May 24, 2003, 18:14

Wow, 2 candidates for for MoDIT, 0 for all other positions...

(No, I don't have time to run either)

mapfi · May 25, 2003, 12:48

Since there's only a candidate for MoDIT so far the nomination period for all other offices is extended for three days until May 28th 1800 GMT

This also means that John as president, Tamerlin as MoDA, Pedrunn as MoD and HT as judge remain in their offices and retain all their powers.

Locutus · May 25, 2003, 17:43

I'll run for Judge.

Tamerlin · May 25, 2003, 23:37

I nominate myself for MoDA...

mapfi · May 26, 2003, 06:11

leaves Pres and MoD - come on people!

mapfi · May 28, 2003, 12:22

i'm not sure that John and Pedrunn still want to stay ministers... if we can't find candidates the game might come to a halt!
I'd step down as senior judge and go for president if there's someone who's running for MoD.

mapfi · May 29, 2003, 13:28

Nominations for President and MoD are again extended until June 1st 1800 GMT

Locutus · May 29, 2003, 13:50

C'm on ppl! We need an MoD!

Pedrunn · May 29, 2003, 22:14

:hummm: I feel tempted to help you guys. I dont want the game to be halted. But i do need some vacation to solve some personal problems. And lets admit, last month i was the worst minister ever.

mapfi · May 30, 2003, 08:42

mapfi · June 2, 2003, 07:56
