Presidential election

[conmcb25]

New Blood as in we need a new Pres, sorry if I was unclear on that.

We generally have a different President each month. Sometimes a person serves for 2 months, but that's usually when RL gets too busy for other Citizens to serve. I agree with you that it is good to have different people holding offices each month.

But while shade has been President of this game before (2 months in a row IIRC July-August), Ben Kenobi has not, and therefore "new blood" would be Ben, not shade.

Either one of them would have made a great President I am sure, it will be interesting to see how Ben does though.

On that note, when do you expect to play your first turns?

[Ben Kenobi]

Thanks for the compliment, conmcb.

Shade as newer blood than I?

[shade]

Congrats with your official election as president Ben Kenobi.

Good luck.

finally a relaxing month as VP...

When do we start? Do you start with the results of the last poll's (ie do you want reports?) or will it be done again by the new cabinet?

I agree. I would like to see the October ministers post their final reports to the new president, have him play turns (less turn then normal if he feels there is not enough direction in the reports) and then email the save so that the new Ministers can post their first polls.

What Ministerial polls were posted after the 1834 game? OK, there was the one by Ben Kenobi himself as FM. Did I miss some others?

I think President Ben Kenobi needs to instruct the new Ministers to post polls promptly so that he can play a session afterwards and get his administration going.

[Sparrowhawk]

Perhaps the outgoing President could email the save to those Ministers whose email he has so that the Ministers could proceed if so instructed?

Cavebear:

Either go ahead and play from the 1834 save, or let me play and I will email the save when I finish. Either works for me.

All the new ministers, please PM me your email addresses.



I'm looking forward to being president and actaully playing the game.

[cavebear]

You should check your email more often.

My term ended the instant you were elected. It is now your term. Do your job.

[Ben Kenobi]

Cavebear:

Got the drift. Thank you for your advice.

Here's what I will do. New ministers will not be posting new polls. Instead, once you PM me your email address, then I can send you the save.

Based on the results of the polls, and the save, I want to see your reports by Wednesday where I live. Since I'm on the pacific coast, this gives you all a little more time.

I intend to play Thursday, when I do not have a class.

I have sparrowhawk's email so far.

Excellent, I officially announce the "constructive criticism" season open!
(Unusually, this year the season coincides with German- and Greek-hunting seasons)

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

PM sent.

I'd rather post new polls, but I can have the advice sent by Wednesday, no problem.

[Ben Kenobi]

Saves sent to everyone.

Well done! We're off to an excellent start.
