ELECTION - Fleet Operations Cap'n

[johndmuller]

Since there were no more nominations in the nominating thread, I'm going with those two Black'ards. So the choices will be:[list=1][*]Cap'n Flubber[*]Cap'n Hercules[*]Cap'n Write-in[*]Cap'n Googlie-Click-on-Turn-Complete[/list=1]

Apparently 10 years is also acceptable, so consider the term to be for 10 years.

The job is basically to take the turns and meanwhile keep everyone informed about whats happening and to allow for feedback if the other Cap'ns have any.

There's room for other jobs, such as someone who specializes in what to do at the bases (i.e. builds and terraforming) and lets the Fleet Ops Cap'n know what to put in there. So if someone is interested in that job, just post a thread with the job description and see if anyone else wants to also run for it and if necessary poll it to get elected. Other positions, such as Diplomacy or Research would seem to have potential for at least some interest and work. The more complicated the game gets, the more help the FOC'n's gonna need.

I don't seem to have put a time limit on this poll, but my term expires after 2120, so that is the effective time limit. Also, I'm going out of town (without net access) for the weekend starting sometime friday, so I may need some help with the 2120 turn too, especially if it comes around slowly.

[Flubber]

Aye I will step aside fer cap'n herc-- I was hopin' to be der ambassader feller sum more-- The benefits in visitin' the foreign capitals are quite sumthin'

[Hercules]

Tanxs fer dat. I's tried to scribble summit here last night but the blasted charcoal wouldne rite.

Nice luv fest you mateys got goin' here but maybe at least one of you ought to actually Vote for Cap'n Herc (as the vote is currentlly 1 vote for Cap'n Flubber). If you two are agreed, I'll vote for Cap'n Herc too (even though I had me heart set on #4).

'Twere my dirk that plonked inta Cap'n Flubber's name, seein' as how he's been enthusiastic about chattin' with the other Planet set of eggheads about a pact n'all - but if he feels more at home in th' Diplomatic Corps (I think that's the fancy term for the sweet-talkers) then I'll just move me dirk around t'be accomodatin' An' I didn't know if Cap'n Herc would be in any kinda good shape after his little 'trip', y'know?

[Hercules]

Hey me maties, me term as Fleet Operations Cap'n is near up ( this time round ) according to the way we runs things round here and ends 2130.

So of course I'll abide by the pirates code. Now I has to says I feels I just got into the swing of things and wouldn'e minded another few years at the helm, til Cap'n Flubber returns from his circumnavigation of t'globe. But codes is codes and sure I'll get another crack at it.

So either open a new thread or post your interest in this one and we'll see if some o' young whippersnappers fancies t'command for a spell.

[foolish_icarus]

no objection here if cap'n herc wants to retain the helm a bit longer

[johndmuller]

I can say one thing for sure; I'm not ready for another term yet myself, so I'm not going to be looking to give you the boot (although some of your terraforming and movement things lately have been deserving of a keelhauling, methinks).

You might take the fair warning, though, that before long, the bitter bottle of burnout may burn in your belly. It's much more fun to snipe at Cap'n Hook than it is to juggle turn deadlines and try to get the crew sober enough to do any work.
