Nomination Thread: 1st Term Commissioner

[Method]

this really should have been done a few days ago if we want to start on september 1st. also maybe the alpha talent should do this (perhaps put it in the constitution?) but, since i don't see him around

Sign up here for the post of Commissioner for the 1st term of play. Nominations will end in 3 days.

Candidates:
Darkness' Edge (CD/CDC)

Has Crisler been erased from the space-time continuum?

[Method]

he won some trip to montreal, supposedly coming back today IIRC

EDIT: here's the link

It wouldn't be a bad idea- do you have enough free time, considering the UNN, etc. etc. ?

[Darkness' Edge]

a) Crisler's away. He should be back anytime soon.
b) Should we be having elections so soon? As much as I'd like the job, Crisler hasn't really had much to do since he was elected, and he hasn't been in office a month. However, I do see the benefits of having fresh elections.
c) In the event that we do hold new elections, I hereby announce my candidacy.

The same as last time goes. I'm always available, I've got plenty of time, and I insist on following the will of the people and the founding of democratic institutions, rather than getting involved in partisan politics. However, my pro-democratic beliefs align me with the democratic coalition.

Yes, we could always consider having Crisler for September too, since he hasn't had much to do yet, and it's getting pretty late to have a new Commissioner elected. I'd have no objections if we extended the first/zeroth term to cover September too, and have a new election for October.

[Maniac]

Another vote in favour of keeping Crisler.

[Method]

well whatever. i have no problem with crisler, i just thought that we were have new elections before the game started.

EDIT: i can see that many people thought we were going to have re-elections. pandemoniak even posted that in crisler's "prayer and fasting" thread.

[Kassiopeia]

TKG, so did I, but I wasn't sure if other people would agree with me.

[DeathByTheSword]

i agree with new elections

[- Groucho -]

Why a new election? Crisler hasn't got to do much yet. But if there is a new election, is the Alpha Talent up for re-election as well?

yes (although a lot of what i thought had beed decided weeks ago is coming into question...people questioned the original commissioner elections too)

[DeathByTheSword]

i am willing to run AGAIN on these terms:

*only if there will be new elections (duh)
*if there 3 or more other candidates i will retire of the race (have enough to do as it is )
*I WANT TO WIN j/k

but looking at the time frame we have, if we want to land 1st sept. we wont have time enough to do a 5 day election with nomination rounds. so or a lot insist we have new elections or we keep Crisler and DE for another month....

[Method]

its not as if we have time to poll it.

where is crisler? i'm sure he'll run again, but i dont think we have time to start on sep 1st and have re-elections, unless we shorten nominations and elections to 2 days each
