Nomination thread for September elections

Hydey · August 26, 2003, 04:30

Ok who wants in for what jobs?

President: Atawa

Foreign Minister: Sparrowhawk

Minister of War:

Science Advisor: Obiwan18

City planner:

Imperial Expansion:

Historian:

You have 3 days to nominate and then I will post polls for the elections.

Thankyou

-Jrabbit · August 26, 2003, 08:33

I'd accept another Cabinet post. No time for anything more intensive...

Sparrowhawk · August 26, 2003, 13:57

I would like to once again nominate atawa for President (for the third time

maybe atawa/W4E/DL?

)

I would also like to submit my own name for Foreign Minister (as I hope with Embassies this position will have a little more meaning).

Respectively submitted,
/me Citizen of Apolyton

Edit: Removed the Capital A from atawa

As RL starts to get normal again I can finaly accept this nomination.

If elected president I'll make it my goal to ensure a swift anahilation of all the pests that infested our world

Hope I get another oponent besides the

though

Six Thousand Year Old Man · August 26, 2003, 18:12

I think I have time to run for something in Sept...

Ben Kenobi · August 28, 2003, 05:41

/me looks at last three or four posts.

Seems I have a hankering for the science ministry.

Please add me to the list, Hydey.

Atawa.

Bonne Chance.

Hydey · August 28, 2003, 06:24

Anyone else care to nominate?

PLEASE

Zedd · August 28, 2003, 09:39

It's been a while since i've visited, what is the rule on incumbant presidents running for re-election?
shade vs atawa 9/03 sounds good.

And how about
cavebear vs MrWereItsAt for the war minister post.

atawa · August 28, 2003, 11:35

Zedd: why dont you run for office?

Hydey: Can you please remove the capital A from atawa?

Sparrowhawk · August 28, 2003, 13:37

Looking forward to seeing what Jrabbit and STYOM put there names up for

, as well as seeing some new names added I hope

.

As asked by atawa (no "A"

), Zedd why don't you run for office?

Perhaps War4ever will put his name up this month

? I note no one has as of yet put there name up or minister of War.....would this be a suitable position for someone with a name like w4e? I think so.

Time is running out on nominations however, so I hope people step up to the plate soon!

atawa · August 28, 2003, 18:13

With Sparrowhawk and obiwan18 we have excelent candidates for the Foreign and Science Ministries

/me

to hear for witch posts -Jrabbit and Six Thousand Year Old Man are running for

We definately do need a minister of war and city planner. We need to get to fundi without caravans while fighting on two fronts. Our crusaders are no longer a match for the American defense. So we have our work cut out for us

Sparrowhawk · August 28, 2003, 19:27

/me looks forward to seeing two candidates for each position (or more

)

This game should get very interesting indeed! (not that it isn't alread

)

cavebear · August 28, 2003, 21:10

I would prefer to be a simple citizen this next term, so I will not run for any position.

As a "simple" citizen

, you are among the best qualified to be President, which I am sure you will again be one day. But I hope that there are more nominations to come, though time is quickly running out

.

cavebear · August 28, 2003, 21:57

Experience is not everything. It is also good to have different citizens serving as Presidents and Ministers for fresh approaches and ways of running the government. I look forward with some interest to see how the next administration will present new ideas into the game.

My view is that the more of us are experienced in government, the larger the pool of qualified leaders becomes, and the better all of us will understand the demands and difficulties (and benefits) of participating in government.

Zedd · August 29, 2003, 09:20

I would gladly run for office now that I am back in the forum, however RL has decided that my new son will be born within the next couple of days

so I will be very busy takeing care of Mom and Jr for the next few weeks.

Rest assured, i will still make a point to post votes and responses. Wouldn't want to deprive everyone of my incessant ranting.

shade · August 30, 2003, 16:39

@ Cavebear, maybe beter do it the other way around.
I'll give Cityplanner a try(one has to try everything at least once) And you can go for a second run as Military advisor.
That is, if you don't mind ofcourse to be our millitary advisor for another month?

I leave it up to you to post our nominations

@Atawa: I'll send the save when the elections start and no competions for you has showed up.

Shade

cavebear · August 30, 2003, 18:40

Shade has agreed to run as City-Planner. I agree to run as Minister of War.

Sparrowhawk · August 30, 2003, 18:50

Only thing left to see is what Jrabbit and STYOM run for (and if any late entries are seen).

Hopefully Hydey can post elections soon, but it's not too late, anyone interested in running...would be good to see two people running for each position.

/me Citizen of Apolyton

cavebear · August 30, 2003, 19:22

They've had 4 1/2 days... I encourage them to declare for something (anything), but we have to get moving again.

Sparrowhawk · August 30, 2003, 20:05

I agree, if Hydey sees this thread before they post, he should go ahead and post elections (with one candidate per election

) but if anyone is online before that, I would hope they don't take into account Hydey's 3 day time limit, as more candidates is a good thing I think, deadline or not (though as a start to a term, not making deadlines is not encouraging

)

Either way......roll on!

/me of the Apolyton Imperium

atawa · August 30, 2003, 20:06

Great to see Cavebear run for Minister of War again and shade for City Planner

I would like to see some contested elections (Including mine) but we need to get things moving.

Another thing is our VP has been missing for over 2.5 days. Does our president post elections tomorrow in the absence of the VP or do we skip it all together due to a lack of candidates?

I wish we had more active Apolytonians

Be careful what you wish for

I would like to throw my hat into the ring as President, if it's not too late.

shade · August 31, 2003, 11:35

If I don't forget I'll put them up tonight before I go to sleep(1am or something), that is if Honorable Hydey hasn't popped up in the mean time.

Shade

MrWhereItsAt · September 4, 2003, 06:18

Hmm, no nomination position for VP?

shade · September 4, 2003, 06:27

VP= runnerup of presidential ellections?(as it always (should) has/ve been)

Shade

MrWhereItsAt · September 4, 2003, 06:37

Ah yes, never mind me - getting my DG rules mixed up
