Nomination Thread - Term 1

[Anodyne]

I'd say that Commissioner can veto, but his veto must be confirmed by the Council poll (50% or 66% supporting will do)

(and I'll call it a night although it's "only" 3:48 )

Military Advisor i guess..

[Mr. President]

I'll step up for Foreign Affairs. Unless it's been outlawed yet, I'm (so far alone) with the Capital Party.

Just a note...I'm running for Commissioner, not as an Independent, but as the leader of the Centauri Democrats.

Ade: our parties sound rather similar
perhaps we should merge?

do the CD have a thread?

another question: when do we stop accepting nominations? 20:00 (or is it 17:00?) GMT wednesday like commissioner nominations?

I'll throw my hat into the ring for Director of the Military. I have no party affiliation except that i belong to the IOC(independents of Chiron) who operate expressly for those that wish to step outside the normal limitations of the party machine. which is exactly what you want the top man in the military to be. I have no other goal except to direct the defense of the colonies against enemies and any hostile alien life we may find. And unlike my opponate, I have no doubts about wanting this position. This is not an exercise for me to attain some future role as commisioner, but a desire to lead the defense of our people. And also unlike my opponate, I seek to cooperate with who ever the commissioner regardless of party to make sure that our future enemies do not wipe our memory from this new planet.

Your putting words in my mouth! Well unlike my opponent(NOTICE THE SPELLING). I am not spreading ludicrous propaganda in an attempt to win. Also unlike my opponent I feel that my polocies alone can win me my position and I do not feel the need to *LIE* about my opponent!

Look at my opponents words. Is this the person you want leading the military?

I want to run for the Military Advisor but only if my decisions are final!
ie. I decide on something, the commisioner can't VETO it or something like that

If the commisioner can veto it then I want to run for COMMISIONER!!!!!!!!

EDIT: Party = Eradicate Everyone!

Again look at his words. He wants to compete with the commisioner not cooperate for the common defense. And if the commisioner has final authority, he wants to be commisioner and not military director. I would say being military director is something of a stepping stone for him.

Your a bully!

I just dont think its fair that the commisoner gets to decide everything. Anyways, whats the point of having the other people if the commisioner doesn't have to listen!!@!

A bully Just a word of advice. When posts have smilies that means that they are not to be taken too seriously. I didnt mean to hurt your feelings.

You cant have the directors have total control of their fields. They take their cues and direction from the leader. They should have limited independence but unless you want all areas of the goverment going in different directions then you have to have a somewhat strong leader. The military director cannot be the one that declares war or even have control over all resources of a base. It is up to the people and leader to set goals and the directors are there to give advice and follow the will of the people.

something worries me a little here..

"i just don't think it's fair that the commissioner gets to decide everything"

since when does the commissioner in a democracy game make decisions? the people make decisions, the elected officials follow them...

[Emvepe]

It just seemed from what was said that basically, the advisor decides something then the commisioner looks at it and says Yay or nay ... so basically the commisioner gets the final say in everything. Correct me if I'm wrong but thats just what it has seemed like..
