Term 2 Nominations

WhiteBandit · May 18, 2003, 18:27

Doing some house cleaning while MrWIA has been kidnapped!

(I think we're definitely going to need a news article on this folks).

But let's get setup here. Not sure when we will hold elections (perhaps in a week? we're going to need to modify the NewCon since it has the dates in there pretty specific I believe?)

Anyways, let's get setup!

Post your nominations for

President
GodKing

Vice President
Octavian X
OPD

Supreme Military Commander
dejon
mrmitchell

Foreign Affairs Minister
Kloreep

Domestic Minister
panag
Betahound

I was hoping (for simplicity's sake and the fact that we started play about the 1st of May) that Term II would start June 1, and each subsequent term on the first of the month thereafter.

Thus nominations about the 18th/19th, elections the 24th/25th, ending the 30th, ready for Term 2 to take over the 1st. Sound good?

Panzer32 · May 18, 2003, 21:25

That term timing stuff sounds good

Kloreep · May 18, 2003, 21:28

Sounds good to me.

I had forgotten there was a delay between elections and the game's start.

Octavian X · May 19, 2003, 01:01

Sounds like a plan. It's easier to keep track of elections when the date is somewhere more recognizable in the month.

GeneralTacticus · May 19, 2003, 04:17

Yes, definitely go with elections ending with the month...

Inverse Icarus · May 19, 2003, 04:38

i second the beginning of the month idea

as for me, i will nto be running for the second term. things are getting a bit busy here, and it's only going to get moreso

i'll still be an active part of the game, but i'm not sure i can make turnchats.

i'll finish off this term professionally though, don't worry

Aro · May 20, 2003, 15:04

Hey, where's everybody?

No candidates?

GodKing · May 20, 2003, 17:02

Count me in for something.... oh, prez. However, chats will be not be held on apolyton chat (assuming it gets back up) as my computer is not compatable with it. Undernet works fine.

As I suspect I will end up loosing I will most likely be acting prez for half the term like I did this term for DM.....

OPD · May 20, 2003, 17:09

GK for pres

Octavian X · May 20, 2003, 17:36

Umm... Uber for military!

Kloreep · May 20, 2003, 17:55

Go GK!

Hmm... wonder who'll be our next SMC. Aggie? mrmitchell?

GeneralTacticus · May 21, 2003, 03:12

I suppose I should anounce that until I can figure out how to solve my IRC problems, I will not be running for anything. We need government officials who can actually do stuff...

BigFree · May 21, 2003, 03:56

I nominate WhiteBandit for President

I nominate God King for Vice President

I nominate History Guy for Supreme Military Commander

I nominate Kloreep for Foreign Affairs Minister

I nominate E_T for Domestic Minister

GodKing · May 21, 2003, 13:02

Fine by me BigFree - VP, P whatever. I would just like to help out and contribute to our glorious victory.

Kloreep · May 21, 2003, 19:16

I appreciate the nomination BigFree.

I'm considering both FAM and DM. However, before I nominate myself, a question for GodKing (and all other VP/Prez candidates): When do you except to run your turnchats? Weekends, especially saturdays, will be busy for me during the summer, so I want to make sure I can attend at least some chats.

WhiteBandit · May 21, 2003, 22:05

I appreciate the nomination but I don't feel I'll have the time to dedicate to the SPDG this next term. Have a lot of stuff for summer plus the ISDG to worry about. Thanks anyway though!!

GodKing · May 22, 2003, 08:52

I would like to do 2 per week, of between 5 and 10 turns each time. However, I am very buisy durring the week days, and would like whomever the VP is to do a mid week chat. I can probably fit in 1-2 mid week chats durring the month, but it would be hard.

On the weekends, I would alternate between saturdays and sundays, whatever time worked out better for the ministers (assuming we get any... where is everybody?)

I know OPD is considering running for VP. Hopefully, he will find the time.

Octavian X · May 22, 2003, 22:51

Well, what the hell... Sign me up for Vice-President.

WhiteBandit · May 23, 2003, 01:51

Elections in a few days, surely we can get more people to sign up. I mean read the turnchat logs. Look at all the mistakes *I* made and we're still alive. I'm telling you, we are destined for something great.

Get in on it while it's still hot.

GodKing · May 23, 2003, 09:43

Perhaps we should write a news update indicating that as nobody is running, the game is going to die out..... that might generate some interest.

Hot Mustard · May 23, 2003, 09:53

Perhaps people are intimidated by the Diety level and our challenging start?

I hereby announce my intention to run for Supreme Military Commander.

While I do not have the experience that others do, I do serve the RP Team in this capacity (though we haven't been at war yet). I intend to draw heavily from the feedback and suggestions of the Senate.

I am serious about running, but also hope that I will prompt others (vets, newbies, and everyone in-between) to run for this office, and others, as well.

Panag · May 23, 2003, 11:37

hi ,

, i go for interior minister

have a nice day

Gramphos · May 23, 2003, 12:38

I maybe should run for something, but recently all my time has been spent on C3MT, newsreporting, filemanager duties and real life issues... So I'm not sure how my time shall be sufficient... I'll have to think about it...

hi ,

wow

that would be great

Kloreep · May 23, 2003, 22:06

Seeing as DM has a candidate but FAM does not, I will run for FAM.

mrmitchell · May 24, 2003, 12:26

*pops out of nowhere*
I announce that I will run for SMC.
*retreats back into nowhere*

Gramphos · May 24, 2003, 20:06

After think I'll not run for any position due to a two week vacation in the early june.

Bummer, you got my hopes up! Have a nice vacation!

Beta · May 24, 2003, 21:57

OK - I will run for the domestic minister. Hey I have spent the last 3 weekends gardening

. Can't get much more domestic than that.

I have made 5 of the first 6 turn chats. I am actively involved with the administration of Vox Controli in the ptwdg. And I have learned from our early moves in that game. I now play on deity on my single player games (Ok - you caught me - I started a game this week on Monarchy with the Romans... I have to admit.)

I have never held a position in the spdg before. But I am looking forward to running an effective economy, and I understand the realities of this game. The economy is there for one reason - to fuel the military.

Rock on! Vikings rule!
