Sorry if i did miss anyone.

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

I came into the forum and saw 15 posts, I was hoping for more nominations

...there goes my intension of beeing a nice and simple citizen for a month(or two)...

Let's crack some skulls and bribe some bones...I'll lead our fanatics to their doom or victory.

Put me up for SMC

OK... 3 nominations... let's have some more!

It's obvious that banana can perform the duties of science minister. I would like to contend for one of more important positions in the cabinet in spite of low chances I have as a newbie. Let's have some sort of democratic elections for the position of Foreign Minister.

I nominate myself for that post.

I didn't run for some other empty posts fearful I might lose to banana.

[Ljube]

If I lose to venerable Obiwan, I'll take whatever position is still vacant if you all agree.

I hope you guys prefer me to

Ambition has some value. At least there will be a contested election. I'll be interested to hear what the candidates for Foreign Minister have to say during the election cycle.

I dislike the suggestion that the Science Minister position is all that easy, though. There are subtleties of maximizing beakers that I have yet to master. The devil is always in the details...

Will you take on the duties of the easy Science Minister position if you lose the Foreign Minister position?

Gotta start somewhere, and an uncontested post is usually a good place to start. I started as a cityplanner because I like the micromanagement even though I never was elected.

I took over from a delinquent minister.

Just a couple of pointers...

Where's the fun in that? You're supposed to be slagging my experience, and campaigning for some new fresh blood to restore the vitality of our lagging Imperium.

A little confidence goes a long way.

In the spirit of competition for elected positions, I hereby submit my candidacy for President. All positions should be competed for. The Presidency should always be competed for.

With great pleasure, if you would have me.
I even have some bright ideas about research and possible government changes.

I just don't understand why doesn't show in my initial post.

It still doesn't show. What's the problem with banana. On vacation?

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

It is 8:15 local time. I will post the elections in 4 hours or so unless there are some major objections.

It's nice to see some contested elections, but who will be our City Planner and Science Minister? More nominations are welcome, especially for the vacant posts.

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

I will (belatedly) start the polls now.

If anyone wants to run for Science Minister or especially City Planner, it's not too late.

[Ljube]

OK. Here's the deal.

If nobody will run for the other positions I suggest the winner of the elections for foreign minister takes over the post of science minister as well and the loser takes city planner and expansion positions.

Our practice is for the President to seek volunteers for the vacant positions. Naturally, candidates who have shown their interest in public service but have lost their election are likely to be asked, but it is not required. We avoid having one person hold 2 Minister positions.
