Impeachment

[Darkness' Edge]

Shade: In the event of no one else stepping forward, I would take the reins.

However, ixnay has nominated himself, and I'll gladly support him.

[CannonFodder]

I voted no. Why? Well, I figure that playing the game from a weaker position might actually be interesting. And who knows, we might still win.

The poll was still open, with a 7-6-1 vote, and now it's 7-7-1. Hmm. Well, let's see what happens.

Hehe. This is what happens when I don't come to the forums in a week.

I am planning to run for president at the next elections , as such I would obviously be prepared to take over earlier if required.

I voted to impeach, da prez has not asked for or followed the advice or will of the people. Therefore he has lost his mandate. However, the game should continue. Definitely no restart. Lets see if our combine knowledge, luck and the belief in the Great Banana can get us out of this..... situation

[mrboo123]

I'll support anyone who can get us out of crappy situation.

123john321 won a fair election. Our early play has been decidedly despotic in nature, as was the first Civ2 Demo Game.

It is unfortunate that John did not make the "usual" decisions about early expansion and exploring. As Shade points out, several Presidents in the first game made multiple "executive decisions" and were not really criticized at all -- mostly because they were good decisions.

I truly believe John is on trial more for his playing style than his communications.

It's August 19. Time for a couple more sessions in the current regime, then we move on. This thread gains us nothing.

BTW, I believe we decided that impeachment required a 2/3 majority when it was discussed during the last game.

I vote NO for this reason alone.

We wanted a challenge - those who grumble that we are in a hole, run for president next month and turn things more to your liking. Playing from behind is more fun than coasting on a lead. So we don't lead in population and techs? I challenge the next president to do something about it. We will surpass the AI eventually. If it happens a bit later, so be it.

I'm thinking Melfort is not exactly a booming metropolis if you must leave town to buy notebooks and pens...

Travel safely, 123john. Beware the wild loons and moose...

Fellow Citizen's -- Dad's gone for 2 whole days! While the cat's away...

Does this mean the vice president can now play the next turns , following the ministers instructions?

Or does the game grind to a halt until the president is back in his little village.

[Darkness' Edge]

plus, the last save i recieved was in 4000BC...

Play on the first day , the ministers poll on the second and the president can then play in 2 more days.

Sorry just wanting the game to move on.

[Darkness' Edge]

i don't have the last save that was sent to ministers (it never arrived)
let alone the last save

i think it can wait until he gets back...

[Hydey]

Is he back yet or are we still waiting, wtiddling our thumbs.
