They are definately not, I agree. What would you have me do? Quit my job? take hours of vacation to make a chat time?

This is my schedule, if you or anyone else does not like it they are more than welcome to run for me, find someone to run against me and vote for them, or attempt to impeach me. I am giving fair warning BEFORE the election so there will be no surprises afterwards. Weekdays, this is all I have open, period. If there is someone with a more open schedule willing to step up I WILL RESIGN as I have already stated. This is what I see as a bandaid in order to keep this game moving for this month seeing that no one else is apparantly willing.

As for pre-work stuff, I will myself be giving up my thai chi, paper, and normal playing/surfing time on those days that I will hold a chat. One weekday a week...not THAT hard to give it all up ONE day a week.

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)

I would be able to do pretty regular sunday evening (CDT) chats. The rest of the weekend usually needs to be open for me.

Edit: Saturday evenings might be possible too.

Just a warning to all potential candidates: I plan to post election polls in around 24 hours. Sign up now, or hold your peace until next month.

UnO - I understand your position. And I was not intending to criticise you in any way. Sorry if it came across as such .

I know sometimes it is a thankless job - and as you have pointed out - you are the only one willing to take it on.

Also - I am away on vaction for the 3rd week of July - as my wife has just reminded me - so I it may be best if I do opt out this term.

Again - sorry if I was chippy. And thank you for keeping the game going.

-------------------------------------------

I am willing to be a vice-SMC to help someone out with the job, but I will be away for a week - and may not be able to make some chats.

If beta is bowing out and as nobody else has offered to for the job, I will switch from FAM to SMC. That way we have at least someone for each position.

[BigFurryMonster]

Very noble.

[Rhothaerill]

If anyone could use a deputy to help out I wouldn't mind doing that. I'd like to start learning what the various ministers actually tend to do before I start my takeover...err I mean running.

I don't know if I'll be able to make any of the chats right now though.

If anyone is interested in teaching a deputy then please PM me when they take over their new position. Thanks all.

Well I dont know if you realise this but we arent trying to replicate real elections. If we were we would have Republican and Democratic Parties.
