Let the Nominations Begin!!

[civman2000]

MWIA is the official AAAC presidential candidate if he accepts...i would recommend that he run for something else too so he can stay in the game if he loses...where has he been

[cavebear]

Having been President for these few weeks, and having learned much on the job, I have decided to seek re-election as your President.

The Egyptian Campaign is in progress, and I very much desire to see that effort to its successful conclusion. It will represent my part in the history of Apolytonia, and I will not seek re-election after the next term (campaign completed or not).

Comrades, allow me to complete the task we have started! We have a plan of attack to take Heliopolis, and the rest of the crumbling Egyptian Empire will fall into our hands as we sweep through the land with our Crusaders and expand our own glorious civilization. With the Egyptian Campaign complete, we will be well on our way to control of the known world!

Dear fellow citizens,

Having wondered into the great Apolytonian nation not long ago and comming from the realms of MP I would like to offer my services as Millitary advisor.

Having wondered through countless foreign lands and fought in many a battle, I've gained a lot of knowledge about different nations and their tactics.

It is through this I think I can make a positive contribution to our glorious Soviet republic and I'm looking forward in building our great army's even bigger so we can incorperate the rest of these so called 'nations' (witch are no more then capitalist dictatorships where our brothers are being oppressed by big company's ) and form a planetwide 'Soviet Union'

[Hydey]

I nominate myself as foreign minister.

Vote hydey in he has the embassies on the board.

[MrWhereItsAt]

This is looking really good....

Thanks for the nomination there civman. I still have some time to decide on what I'm going to do. And I think science advisor might suit you well!

Welcome atawa, but be prepared - we are currently at war, so Supreme Military Commander may require an effort almost as great as the Prez... If you are that keen I wish you luck.

A quick summary of the nominations so far, for all those (I have been one ) too lazy to do anything like looking at all the posts here. I will update this as often as I can. Remember, unopposed elections are undemocratic (and uncommunist ), so if you see a position with only one person nominated, go for it! Vote-grubbing is FUN ( I mean it LOOKS fun - I'd never EVER do it though ), even if you don't get in.

And I will take the Prez's suggestions re: nomination closing and voting times. I will do my best to synchronize with the odd times that are on the other side of the world.

We need some additional candidates. There are none yet for Minister of Trade or Minister of City-Planning. These are vital positions in the management of our civ!

Let the sloughter of the egyptian scum begin

[MrWhereItsAt]

We have seen the error of the ways of the Monarchists, thus our glorious Kingdom is now the Peoples' Republic (Communist government) of Apolyton.

Y'see?

[cavebear]

Yes, Communist elections should have opposed candidates, though the enlightened Workers should all clearly recognize the appropriate and proper Leader and the results therefore be (almost) unanimous!

[atawa]

Hey, no argument here, but I think the last time there was someone stupid enough to make himself an opposition candidate in a china they had him shot

That is because he was imperfectly enlightened and so he was the "wrong" candidate. Had he been the "right" candidate, the Workers (through the Government) would have recognized that and he would not have been shot.

See?

[MrWhereItsAt]

I hereby respectfully decline my nomination as Prez....

I feel cavebear is too important to not be our fearless leader during this time of WAR

However, in an attempt to aid the spread of Communism, I nominate myself for the next SUPREME MILITARY COMMANDER.



Hasta la vista, Egypt.
