Upcoming Elections

[JCP]

where is Hydey .
Did he survive his birthday ?

[Darkness' Edge]

I don't know, but at the rate we're going, I don't know what we're going to do to fill these positions.

So we have one maybe in atawa, and another in Hydey, if he did survive his birthday...

I think it's time to start considering some portfolio shakeups.

How about eliminating Vice-President UNLESS there is a runner-up? The Pres can just as easily fulfil their duties.

Also, how about merging City Planner and IE? Didn't we do that at the end of the last game or something?

Same could also go with Science and Trade..

[Hydey]

Hydey nominates for President.

I expect people will use their DL's to decide the vote again.

[Darkness' Edge]

Well, I said I'd run for President if Hydey did...

Looks like we have a 3-way contest!

I'm sure someone'll throw their hand up for Minister of War.

[-Jrabbit]

Hmmm... OK. I guess one month retirement is enough.

-Jrabbit throws his hat in the ring for...

Minister of Science.

[-Jrabbit]

If elected Minister of Science, I promise to flog and/or reward our wise men as required to speed us to Alpha Centauri.

I further promise to harass the Ministry of Trade for enough arrows to get our effective research rate down to 5 turns or fewer.

OK Put me down for Minister of Imperial Expansion.... I promise, for those who want them, at least three banana options in every poll.... (once i figure out how to actually post the bloody things) and to post the most inane subject matter in order to help us reach our true destiny and to rule the glaxy as father and son... (takes of Darth Vader helmet)

Now where did I put my medication
BTW, what does the job actually involve?










Joking... :-)

[-Jrabbit]

Mr. Vice President -- I think we have enough to get going.

PLEASE POST ELECTION POLL FOR PRESIDENT --
AND NEAR-MEANINGLESS POLLS FOR OTHER POSTIONS!

Prez candidates -- TIME TO POST YOUR PROMISES!

You'll make an excelent minister

Seriously, good to see reletivly new people stepping up

[Darkness' Edge]

We don't have a Minister of War candidate, now that I'm running for another shot at the presidency.

As soon as someone steps up, I'll post the elections.

[-Jrabbit]

a couple quick thoughts -- If we're having a 3-way for President, how about runner-up gets choice of VP or War Ministry, 3rd place gets leftovers? It's the 30th and we need to move forward.

I'm confident that any unfilled post will garner a volunteer, to be appointed by the Prez. Failing that, we can combine the War post with another (since we're peacemongers this time).

Let's get this moving!

[H Tower]

Elections!

[ixnay]

Yes.

[Darkness' Edge]

Alright, I'll post the elections, and we can solve the MoW problem at a later date.

[atomant]

just a quick comment, as we are rather defensive this time around, the Minister of War (Defence?) could be incorporated into another ministry.... could give IE something extra to do or give the vice president a more meaningful occupation...
