Nominations: Chairperson of the Central Continuing Committee of the Human Hive

[Octavian X]

I officially open these nominations for the position of Chairperson of our beloved Human Hive. Former Chairman Voltaire has graciously stepped aside to allow for a new election for his position.

Understand that this is only the first step in our creation of a new government of the Human Hive. This Chairperson will lead a tranistional government as we continue to build a better Hive.

Once we have a proper constitution, ratified by a vote of the people, the term of this temporary Chairperson will end, to allow for the new government to be installed.

If no formal constitution is in place one month after the end of this election, a new election for Chairperson shall be held, for the sake of getting ourselves properly in-tune with the idea that the Chairperson is to be elected on a regular basis.

Please, now, nominate people you feel will serve best in this capacity. Any citizen of the Hive may be nominated. You may also nominate yourself.

If you are nominated, please either accept or decline the nomination. Only those who have accepted their nominations will be placed on the ballot.

These nominations will close in 4 days.

I nominate Comrade Octavian X.

[Enigma_Nova]

I nominate Octavian X and HongHu!

[Frankychan]

I nominate Comrade Chairman Voltaire.

[Jamski]

I nominate dacole.

-Jam

[Snowflake]

Thanks for the nomination but I would like to withdraw from competing with Chairman Voltaire. I do not think I could do a better job than him. I second Comrade Frankychan's nomination.

[Enigma_Nova]

Okay... then I nominate Octavian X and Enigma_Nova!

[Jamski]

Ok, I second Enigma_Nova on the condition he changes his sig to "I love the world" for at least a week.

-Jam

[Octavian X]

So, is no one willing to actually accept a nomination and run for the office?

As for myself, I will only run for the office if no one else steps up. I haven't the time to run the Hive, I only wish to get it working correctly.

[Voltaire]

I will accept because after speaking to many individuals within the Hive they wish to see me run, and though I was hesitant at first in the hopes of teaching the democratic movement a lesson in what their politics result in, the good of the Hive takes precedence and thus I shall run.

Thank you.

Now that´s a pity, Comrade... I´d love to see the Hive´s first Chairwoman, but at the end it´s your own decision. However, wouldn´t you reconsider your decline, just to give it a try?

I second Comrade Frankychan's nomination.

Didn´t see a nomination for him...?

Anyway, although he already accepted, I´d like to second Voltaire´s nomination.

Glory to the Hive!

Oops I meant Voltaire's nomination.

Thanks for your trust dear comrade. To tell the truth I am afraid to become the chairman. If Voltaire is the Chairman I know at least I will support him and help him with works. I've already been trying in futile to pull everybody together as it is now. If I were to do the chairman, I don't think I have the energy to do everything and more. I mean sure I can play the turns and handle the diplomatics and so on, but then I will also have to fend all the accusations and feed all the demands and clean up all the messes. Phew! Think about that! Somebody who is courageous enough to pick up this role gets great admiration from me!

[Enigma_Nova]

Well who here nominated themselves?
Voltaire and Myself.

I'm still not sure why we can't have a multi-chairman system. Rome had two proconsuls and it worked for them!
One of us can keep an eye on what the other one is doing...

Let's see..
We got Voltaire to handle the internal measures
We got Enigma_Nova to play the turns
We got HongHu to do the diplomacy.
The rest of you guys can slack off, do what you want and make spam - I think it's in the bag.

[Frankychan]

That does not keep in the spirit of the Hive, Comrade Enigma.

[Octavian X]

We will them assume that the upcoming election will have Comrades Enigma_Nova and Voltaire on the ballot. The nominations will be extended for one more day.
