That would be cool. We would need to design a flag, cause I don't think we have one. Definately be interseting from a role playing point of view.

/me bows to Trip.

You have done the nation a great service sir. Your return to an office would be welcome by many in the future.

Please stick around.

[Kramerman]

Why do you have those mad faces, Trip? Your flag won. I don't know how I missed that big 'ol poll...must 'o been my momentary retardation again.

P.S. nice flag, I agree with wervdon that we should be able to declare it our country.

[Jon Shafer]

Just trying to get your attention Kman, don't worry.

[Kramerman]

I thought you were pissed off at me.
In an effort to stay on topic, what are you gonna do now that you have conceded defeat. Still interested in politics, or you just gonna be one with the citizenry? Any ambitions, ideas, or hopes?

I always have a bit of ambition in me, but for now I think I want to work on some scenarios now that the editor is coming out. However, I'll try to finish up my amendments in the meantime.

Congratulations to Mr. Ninot, our president elect, and all his cabinet too. A brave bunch of comrades! We are in very good hands. And congratulations to Mr. Trip, too, he did a great job!
Please, Mr. Trip, stay around! We need your experience, to help us in our way to glory and victory!! Mr. Ninot certainly will agree with my request.

And now... let's play ball!

BTW, nice flag, Mr. Trip. I want one!

Trip, I must thankyou for your gracious actions during the election. You have conducted yourself wonderously.

And I have only one request of you.. please make some good scenarios while im stuck in this job.. i especially wanna see what ya do with your North America map

[Kramerman]

Congratulations Poindexter! uh.. I mean Ninot! You are now my President. Is it a coincidence that everyone I've voted for has won their election? I think not! I am clearly a prophet, perhaps on the level of Mohomud al Amin, or maybe even Jesus!

Anyway, that was a helluva election. Do stick around Trip. I would like to mention one more time how I think you conducted yourself quite nobelly in these last tulmultuos hours of your reign.

Next time, those who vote must also post saying who they voted for.

What happened to secret ballots? Some people vote, but never post. Why should I have to post that I even voted? How are you going to ensure this happens?

I am not going to say who I voted for. I would say that I won't say whether I voted or not (I did) but then people would assume that I hadn't.

If you want to lower the number of people voting in polls, then one of the best ways is to institute this requirement.

We need a voting amendment: Who can vote. When they must join the community to be able to vote in a poll. A way of only allowing citizens to vote, or barring that, have a way of crosschecking that all votes are by citizens and deleting any non citizens, if non citizens are not allowed to vote. What happens in the case of a tie. Since the current Codes of Laws (aka Constitution) is super vague on these issues.

I thank the candidates in this issue for acting responsibly.

Several attempts have been made, but shot down and ridiculed by those who fear losing power or changing the status quo.

There was the UFC before it combined into one party: the Hawks, Imperialists, etc. There was the Independent Party, the Communist Party.

An incredible election - the most exciting election I have ever heard of! That is no mean feat. At least one set of polling I go through in July is exciting! (elections in NZ in 10 days)

Ninot - congrats, you will do us all proud as you have shown the ability to be a great President. I am watching the threads expectantly for the major influence you will have on the direction of the game.

Trip - we couldn't have asked for a better person to start us all off. Your hard work and efforts have set the standard that will, if adhered to, show us through everything that this game could conceivably throw at us. I hope now you have lotsa time to post from the other side of the Government - it will be fun to see you in action without having to worry about things.

Remember, to misquote Jim Ross about Chris Jericho - you are the first ever Civ3 Democratic game President we had, and no-on can ever take that away from you.

Well done, Trip!

Congratulations, Ninot!

Good job too both a of you and congratulations to Ninot.
