Nomination Thread: 1st Term Commissioner

[- Groucho -]

For what it's worth, I'm in favour of letting Crisler be in charge for the first month. And THEN his fundy butt can get turfed. j/k

[MrWhereItsAt]

Yeah. Let's make the incumbent Commissioner actually do something game related. If he is not back in time, why not just have Darkness' kick us off - that IS what Alpha Talent is there for, is it not? That way both those who want Crisler to run things are happy and Darkness', you most likely get to start anyway.

BTW, do we start 1 September Commissioner time or silly Nth Amer/Europe forum time? If so then 1 September will actually be 1 September here for a change!

i dunno and i dont care aslong as it begins in a 1 sept. somewhere in the world but before it begins dont the directorate needs to hold a turnchat. because no one know where we are going to land so general orders and of any use here. just warning the directors and commissioner + alpha talent

I'd be happy to kick it off.

I'm also quite happy for the current administration to stay on. I can't really see the point in having snap presidential elections - but in the event that they happen, I'm putting my name down.

And finally, in the event that Crisler isn't back, I'll kick the game off Sunday night my time - the night of September 1 for me, early morning for the US, and send off the first game immediately.

DE you will have to organize a turnchat for the first couple of turns, because general guidelines are not yet set by the directors

In that case I hope you don't need the Dir. of Base Production actually there for any turnchat - Sunday night is awful for me, especially since it will be 2 hours later than your Sunday night.

[DeathByTheSword]

then give a builingqueer for the first couple of builds!?

[MrWhereItsAt]

Capital idea! One of the first actual game discussion threads....

I'd forgotten about turnchats. Don't worry. I'll work out a time that's convenient for both of us, if Crisler still isn't back.

Some other things of importance:

What day is convenient for people, turnchat-wise?
On September 1, I'll probably only create the map, post it, and then save the first session of play until a suitable time for a turnchat can be found. Unless anyone's got any better ideas?
Thirdly, can someone post the results of all the polls concerning preferences, map settings, etc?

I think keeping Crisler until he actually has had a full month of the game, personally. I'd thought the reason we elected our first Comm. so early was because he and the Alpha were needed to get the directors in place and organized.

DE check official poll thread bottom first post

[Method]

so, as crisler says his connection won't let him connect to 'poly. if he can't get himself ready in time, DE you'll start and have crisler take over later i guess.
