Elections nominaties

[cavebear]

Given that no one else seems interested in the position next term, I will stand for election as Minister of War.

[atawa]

My fellow citizens, as it is summer and about half my colleagues are either on sickleave or holiday I have to work 45-50 hours a week.

So unless its an easy job I wont have time to run for anything again this month

[cavebear]

It is understood that some Citizens are not available to serve as Ministers in the next term. Real Life intrudes, some of us are away from our computers, we have different schedules for the Summer, etc.

But surely there are some among us who *are* available to serve, even if they have not previously or are unsure of the requirements.

Every person who was ever a Minister did it for the first time once, not knowing if they were up to the task. I assure you, it is not fatal. You will survive the attempt and you will be pleased you did it.

We are a team. We help each other. What you are uncertain of, someone else has already done. Ask and you will be enlightened.

when should I start the elections?

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

For now, we have a dearth of candidates.

Though I have enjoyed the past Month as Science Minister, I am unavailable for a good portion of the Month of August (holidays ) and as a result am unable to give the time committment required. I do intend to run again in September for a position, and will actively be participating as a citizen in August.

/me Science Minister


Edit: Being a minister has more benefits then negatives , and is a fun and refreshing way to look at the game of Civ , so I encourage all, even those new to the Forums, or new to Democracy games, to put their names up for election. No need to necessarily put your name up for President right away, Science or Foreign Minister seem like a good place to "get your feet wet" so to speak. Get involved people!

Well, I'll have some time off between semesters, but towards the end of the month I will be starting up again. So I guess you can put me in as a candidate for the Office of City Planner till then.

I'll throw my hat in the ring for foriegn minister, this will be my last month of summer, not sure if my schedule will allow me to be in office in september. I'll also be using university computers for internet for a few days in late august as well before I can get an ISP

Yes we did. So actually all we are missing now is a Minister of Science.

I think our past polls and the President's discretion can handle that.

How about Science?

/me trying to find his own replacement, and thinking none could be better then the person he replaced!

Sparrow - if you give me the links to Strat threads you used re: calculating the chances for each tech from a hut, and any other bits of know-how you used, I could run for this easy job.

The historian is still alive, just sentenced at the moment to about three weeks without web access on some of the more reputable regional cess pools. If anyoneknows of anything exicting to do in Luanda, please send me an email. I am going further insane.
