cavebear · October 21, 2003, 21:46

I do not wish to run for any office in the next term.

H Tower · October 21, 2003, 22:21

this month has proved to me I am not a suitabe minister anymore

Sparrowhawk · October 25, 2003, 17:32

/me would like to nominate Ben Kenobi for President

(whom I beleive is the longest current active member of the Democracy Game who has never before been President...of this or any of the previous Demo Games)

Here's hoping that he accepts, and that he has a cabinet to work with (though early results of the requests for nominations do not look promising)

cavebear · October 25, 2003, 18:45

I second the idea. Ben Kenobi seems to know more about celebrating cities than most of us, and that could be very helpful. Whether he has the drive to conquer the world and manage government is something only he can know.

I suspect he could do it...

OK, Science Minister was not your best job. Don't beat yourself up about it. Go for what you are good at. I do appreciate that you tried to help out when I asked you to.

Cavebear

cavebear · October 25, 2003, 18:52

4 days, and no one has volunteered to take any administration duty? This is not good...

C'mon folks, this is your golden opportunity to try your hand at leadership. It's not fatal, nor is it really all that difficult. We can't just have the same few people like me at the helm of government each month!

I'm not going to serve in office this next term. Someone else do it or it won't get done!

Six Thousand Year Old Man · October 25, 2003, 18:55

I can take on Science Minister... nothing more intensive than that, due to time constraints.

cavebear · October 25, 2003, 19:07

OK, we have a Science Minister candidate. Now how about a President, Minister of War, and City-Planner?

Step right up folks, it takes only a statemnt from you to announce your candidacy and it is routine to self-nominate here.

We have a mighty army, gold out the wazoo, and we can't help but win. If it is just a matter of uncertainity of doing screenshots, I can help with that.

For the purposes of nominations.

cavebear · October 25, 2003, 20:41

So, decide on an office and run for it!

And I mean you MWIA!

And anyone else....

Ben Kenobi · October 25, 2003, 21:09

Two nominations.

I just have one concern, posting screenshots. I did some this summer, but now I have a different computer. I have posted some in the last while but they have been difficult to read.

I have Paint and an image editor, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Notwithstanding the screenshots, I'm most happy to stand the election for president.

cavebear · October 25, 2003, 21:34

I've done all my screenshots with Paint. It's not that hard. I'll be glad to help you through the process.

Sparrowhawk · October 25, 2003, 23:16

I am pleased to see that BK has accepted the Presidential nomination

Please add the name of Sparrowhawk for the position of City Planner, though one thing first...I am unsure of my time committments this month, and even more unsure of my abilities to be City Planner.

Therefore, if anyone else out there wants the job, please submit your name, you will have my vote

(and it would be good to see at least one contested election this month).

btw, though atomant has not been around in quite some time, as the map is almost completely revealed, would he now be eligible to submit his name for election? (I would think so.....anyone else have an opinion on what is likely a moot point anyhow, as he is not likely to return in time for elections

)

Hydey · October 26, 2003, 00:53

Good luck to those who put their hands up .

atawa · October 26, 2003, 07:23

Looks like I'll have some more free time next month

I'll put my name up for Mow

atawa · October 26, 2003, 07:25

I see no reason why atomant couldnt run in this election

atawa, I suspect you missed this post when summarizing the nominations above.

Good to see most of the positions with someone running, hopefully others will continue to put up their names so that all positions are filled and that we have a few contested positions.

MWIA? Jrabbit? ljvetko? Hydey? Zedd? rjmatsleepers?Strawbow? Cannonfodder? shade? others?
The time is now to put your names forward.

atawa · October 26, 2003, 18:59

RL is a bit busy until Christmas. I won't be able to guarantee having the time. Maybe next year.

RJM at Sleeper's

Ljube · October 27, 2003, 04:58

I'll run again for the position of foreign minister.

MrWhereItsAt · October 27, 2003, 05:42

And we have nominations for every Executive position!

shade · October 28, 2003, 06:43

Now let's put in some serious races for the job.

(Maybe Hydey could be of some assistance here, now he's back

)

Ad my name to the presidential list. (that makes at least 1 race for the top)

Shade

atawa · October 28, 2003, 11:58

Added shade, I'll post electiond in 6 hours if no more candidates step forward.

MrWhereItsAt · October 28, 2003, 21:54

Wow, a contested race too...

/Polite reminder

"In 6 hours" was a few hours ago.

Got some mind tricks up your sleeve Ben?

Best of luck in the upcoming (hint, hint!) elections. I'll try to vote on time this month so I don't mess things up like I did before.

Mind you, there's only one vote at the moment so there isn't too much scope for duke-cause mayhem.
