How do we decide in case of a tie? Another poll?

[H Tower]

either that or maybe the already elected get to vote in whoever they want.

Hopefully we won't need to find out

[Bossy20000]

I just want to point out that my username is Bossy20000 and not Bossy2000

EDIT This should in no way stop you from voting for me I am after all a certain factor here (commenting on everything and everybody, and threatening everybody once in a while to send them to the Gulag

[Iron Chancellor]

Oh, well in that case I withdraw my vote...:smile:

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Looks like this is proceeding like any 'normal' Soviet election

If elected, I promise to provide armchair criticism of our grand strategy, in the tradition of our bourgeois ally Churchill.

[The ANZAC]

yes this could be pretty close. If there are ties, I say we hold runoff elections. ie a tie for the 7th slot would have a new election to chose from those who tied.

[Bossy20000]

Sounds reasonable. I also propose to make the unfortunate one the first runner-up for when there is a vacancy in the Politburo. We give him the first empty seat available (but he can always reject, of course, in which case we will give him a one way ticket to ... )

[conmcb25]

Everyone is getting caught up on the 7 max number.

That was never my intention.

With more than 7, whoever is one the low end of votes will be an assistant or something like that.

The idea is too include as many people as possible, not exclude like some people around here would like to do.

Dont worry about the magic seven number. Anyone beyond that will be an assistant or a junoir member of Politburo.

The idea is that there are seven voting voices for the General Secretary and those same voices to remove the Marshal

OK I agree with that. And you are right on some issues it is better to know that upfront. This is one of them.

We lost a very capable Armaments Commisar to alchohol comrade, I do not wish to lose a front commander as well! Even worse would be the Politburo voting on whether to keep me while they are inebriated!

Judging by how the voting is going, someone beat you to it
