But... I'm not going up against Archaic for DoSE. That's just a good way of starting a fight.

OK. I'm putting myself up for DoR.

You know you can run for both.

I'm going to run for Director of Exploration and Intelligence if it still exists after the amendments. My goal: to salvage all remaining Unity pods on Planet.

Hmm, to run for anything... to run for anything...

Say, Maniac, constitution-literate fellow that you are... if a governor hits the 3-term limit for governorship of a region, but no one runs for that office and they stay Governor for a 4th turn, can they still not nominate themselves to that office for the term after that?

No you cannot (yet?).

Noted. And if the directorate disappears, positions such as DPO or Solarian governor are still free.

You mean when no one besides that person nominates itself, resulting in a fifth term? As that person would still have run three consecutive terms as governor without a month of absence in between, I'd say the rule still remains. Though of course, anyone can propose an amendment to remove that rule for governors, if you would want that.

Having conferred with my advisors and associates, I have decided to nominate myself for the Governorship of Jedinica Vrijstaat.

edit- how do you pronounce that, anyway?

[Maniac]

If you are a native English speaker, you are probably unable to pronounce it, as several of the vowels don't exist in English. The long french-german-dutch ee/ée, the "ij" and the long "aa'" are not known in English afaik.

I tend to say (ad-hoc phonetics) "Jeh-dih-nih-sha Vridge-stought" (/ad-hoc phonetics) ... "stought" might be a bit off of the actual way I say "staat", though... just couldn't think of something else that sounded like that kind of a. And I am a native English speaker... the only other languages I speak are for communicating with my computer, and I don't think binary has the "aa"

ah, good. seeing as there's now someone to fill the DoR position (which is likely to merge with DoSE anyways) i'd like to switch to alpha talent

*shudder* why, with you in office we'd have 's and 's running around everywhere!

...

*realizes we survived having Lemmy as AT* hmm, I guess it'll be ok

[Maniac]

I'd like to announce my candidacy for Alpha Talent as well.

[Method]

/me realises maniac can still run for that too...

I was referring to the more recent term... but yes, there were even darker days in the history of this faction

Do you think you're going to loose?? I always have a few abstain votes in my elections, while you have won several unanimous election IIRC. Also due to massive spamming you know most of the people here better than me. So I expect Lemmy, Kassiopeia etcetera to vote on you. I just might end up without an office next term...

Jedinica Fridge State.
And actually that "stought" pronunciation is very similar to certain Flemish dialects.
