Nominations thread for October elections

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Here are the positions up for grabs:

President: atawa OR cavebear

City Planner:

Foreign Minister: Ben Kenobi OR ljcvetko

Minister of War: shade

Science Advisor:

Imperial Expansion:

Historian:

I have listed the positions in rough order of importance and amount of work involved, for anyone unfamiliar with demogames (We haven't had a Historian or Expansion Minister for a while).

You can nominate yourself or someone else... but the someone else has to subsequently agree to run, of course

Today is the 25th (where I am, anyway). I'd like to close the nominations on the 28th and have 3 days of elections, so that we will have a new government by October 1. However, if we are missing nominees for key positions, we may need to hold nominations longer.

So nominate early, and if you are undecided about running for election, think of the all the +1s you'll get.

[Ben Kenobi]

Sign me up for foriegn minister.

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Done. Further updates to original post as nominations warrant.

[Zedd]

how about STYOM vs atawa for president?

Also nominate Cavebear for re-election so that he may carry out his military plans.

Fiscal year end stuff prevents me from running for anything in October

I will run for re-election anyway

The current ministers are doing a good job imo but it would also be good if some new people stepped up this time.
Most ministry's are not that hard work and (at least to me) its pretty good fun. Besides, you get the save

Can we pleaaaase have some contested elections this time?

I am honored by the nomination.

However, I don't think someone should be Minister of War for 3 months in a row. I've been MoW August and September. There are plenty of other Citizens who would do well at the job.

It's probably the most interesting job to hold next to being President and actually playing the sessions. It's time for someone else to be our SMC.

[atawa]

You could always run for president

[Zedd]

the problem with all those member is you don't know who is arround and active. Those who have more than 3 posts in 30 days are the only ones i really consider and there is just not enough of them.

RL is once again in the way of my wonderfull civ playing and i am not able to run as i'd hoped.

Cavebear:

I'd run for MoW, but in all my time with the Civ2DG, I have never had the privilege of being the foreign minister.

Is that a case of second-thoughts about running after you saw all the detailed military moves I want you to take next session? Or a dare? Or a desire to be (or have) a Vice-President?

If you now have full computer access to the game, I encourage you (and anyone else) to run for MoW. The FM job is important, but being MoW is more engaged in our current type of game. A lot of detailed military plans will need to be made soon, and someone will be needed to do that!
