[MrWhereItsAt]

I could possibly run for FAM I guess to actually give the chance of an election....

Pictures? They never existed.

[Master Zen]

If UnOrthO and Aro win I promiste to stop lurking and actually contribute

[GodKing]

I'll give MWIA a run for his money - let the voters decide, FAM.

[Rhothaerill]

Sounds like we've got some elections on our hands. Hmm, who to vote for...who to vote for? I hear the sweet sounds of coins greasing my palms.

Seriously, when do the election polls start?

[UnOrthOdOx]

Fair warning to potential ministers.

Unless a candidate steps forward to oppose me, be prepared to have a chat VERY quickly after this becomes 'official'. And be prepared for it to likely take place at....

The chat time from hell.

11-12 GMT....
That's 5-6 AM for you in NY
2-3 AM for you in California
9-10 PM for our firends in Oz
(assuming the new program on my palm is correct...)

So, be prepared to have orders posted and/or deputies who can attend if you cannot.

I gave fair warning above. My schedule sucks for the public, but it will make the game move.

If NO ONE can make it and it becomes absolutely neccessary, I COULD possibly also hold a chat at the other end of the spectrum:

0300 GMT

11 PM NY
8 PM Cali
3 AM Oz

Is GMT Poly time?

[UnOrthOdOx]

I...Don't...Know....

Keep in mind Daylight savings time if you live where that is a factor, though...

[GodKing]

Those early mornign hours work for me as long as they go quick on weekdays - I have to leave the house no later than 7:30 local to get to work at a reasonable hour. On the weekends whenever.

One point for my position - I cannot get mIRC to work with poly on my home machine, which is where civ3 is. Therefore, if elected, I hereby request we use something other than poly, otherwise, I will have to log off - start civ - get the info I need - shut down civ - log on - post - rinse and repeat as necessary. NOT fun. For some reason it appears to only be poly. I can use mIRC for all others, and for poly at home I can join in using Java, but as everybody knows, java chat causes errors when civ is also running, like causing the computer to lock up.....

GMT is not poly time. Poly time is eastern time, but without daylight savings taken into account.

The elections should start this weekend so that on the first of next month the new people are all ready.

I will (if they are not done prior to) do them on saturday night. If Octavian or OPD do them prior to - hopefully they will pm either mwia or myself and we will top them.

GK I will not be able to be on chat if I am elected then. I can only do Poly Chat. But why do YOU need the game open in the chat? Isnt the only one who needs to do both at the same time the President?

Not a problem here. I myself must be to work by 6:30 local (mountain) Those morning chats will likely be limited to 2-3 hours tops, no leeway, period (3am-6am my time (I normally wake at 4AM each day anyway, what's an extra hour?))

As I stated. It's not going to be pretty, but it will be moving.

Depending on the VP as well, there is a possibility to adjust some chat times. VP's? Care to offer to take chats on weekends? Weekends would be more difficult for me personally...could each of you possibly post your availability to hold chats on weekends? (Aro, I'll suck it up for a week just for you should you be elected)

NM - as a minister you pretty well need to have the game open in the chat. You can schedule moves qaturn or two ahead, but it is very difficult to follow the game and contibute without having the game up and running.

Saves can be posted at the end of each turn - but if all ministers play along with the same moves, and therefore the same game - well things go faster.

Ugh - weekend chats at that early time are OK. But during the week - I leave for work around 7am (NY time). And I have walking, newspaper, and breakfast to do.

Also I am not sure if this unilateral decision on game times is in keeping with the intent and philosphy of the DEMOCRACY game.

If these times are indeed fixed - then I will need to withdraw my candidacy.
