What a party this would be if I end up winning the election anyways.

Well, with 146 voters it is hard to believe that there could be any more, especially since the election over at the Imperial Expansion office only has 100 voters

Well, good bye to you then. Have a nice life.

I don´t see the correlation between the 2nd presidential election of the Civ3 Democracy game and the presidential election in the US in 2000. There was a problem certainly, but that is apart of the appeal of the game. The building up of your own society, with its own rules, certainly based upon existing models, but nonetheless our own.

What if, when MarkG subtracts the nonmember ballots, we find that Trip won?Comment

All the constitution currently says about elections is under the polling stuff, and this is how it says the winner of a poll (option or candidate) are selected:
The election poll would be a group format poll, it just says the option with the most votes win. But since Trip has more or less said he's no longer an option, that would mean that Ninot automatically has the most votes of the valid options.Poll Format:
Each official poll MUST include either a ‘yes/no’ format, or a ‘group’ format, where similar options are grouped together, where the winning option within the group with the most votes is the official winner. The only time these formats do not have to be followed is in true multiple-choice polls, i.e. ‘Which Civilization should we be: Egyptians, Persians. Etc.’ In these cases, a simple ‘yes/no’ or ‘grouping’ poll does not suffice.
Of course, I guess someone could try to challenge it as being an invalid poll under the fairness and neutrality clause...I don't see why anyone would since Ninot was the only other option anyways and either is going to have the most votes or very nearly have the most votes.
I don't personally like how that works for elections, but its our "law" currently as best as I can understand it, but it hopefully won't be our law come the next election

Congrats to Ninot, and Good Luck.
Thanks to Trip, for helping us avoid a very potentially sticky constitutional crisis, and us with no court to arbitrate.
Now, lets get this court in place.Note: the Law Offices of jdjdjd are temporarily closed.

Why should we detract the votes of the non-members. We have never stated that you would have to be a member to be able to vote. If this is something we want, then we need to put this into the election amendment III proposed by Trip. Also believe that winning by majority should be more clearly defined, as there were alot of people supporing co-presidency based upon one vote deciding being somehow unfair.Comment

I am very sorry you feel this way. Trip and I both worked together to find the best sollution to this hoopla, and we tried things people didn't like, but they were honorable. It was Trip's ultimate graciousness that met this decision, and I am truly sorry you would be so upset about it.Originally posted by Luk
