  • DIA : Candidates ?

    Hello fellow DIA members !

    As you probably know it, elections begin in 5 days, Monday 12th August. So far, nobody stated he would run for a post.

    We need to find candidates to all posts, but some are priorities :
    - Foreign Affairs Minister : to support good relations ith neighbours, nd make builder strategies more viable
    - City Planner : once we have chivalry, building knights or not ill be the big issue. We shouldn't let warmongers decide if our cities produce libraries or knights.
    - Public works : we need someone ho can plan ahead, or who can attend turnchats. the minister of Public works is one of those who require most work, but things are plannable, and you don't have to attend turnchats if you give your plans beforehand.
    - President and VP : we need to defuse all dictatoial threats which lurk on the DemoGame. A president who knows his democratic duty will help Apolytonia to survive to this difficult time.

    I'd like to tell that all these posts require much time, and need to be able to attend turnchats. People who spend about 1 hour a day on the DemoGame can be candidates for FAM and City planner, if they can plan to attend the turnchats as well.
    The president will need to be very active on this forum. Someone on vacation in front of his computer would do best.

    Other posts require less time :
    - Minister of the Economy : about 30 minutes a day wil do the trick, once we are connected to other Civs. It's possible to give precise orders before the turnchat.

    - Minister of science : setting up polls and planning on science. Attending turnchats is better to face unexpected situations, but if you make a big scheme beforehand, you won't need it.

    - Minister of Imperial expansion : once cities locations have been worked out (such a Will 5001's plan), his main job is to petition to get more settlers. This is something we can plan ahead.


    You'll notice I didn't talk about the ministry of the military. It seems "DIA" isn't an appealling label for this post, so I don't think we need a candidate for this election.
    I'd like to point out that I won't be a candidate this term, because I will have very little internet connection in September.

    Alas, I still don't have a sufficiently well-stocked and sufficiently stable supply of spare time available for an official post.

    Also, I will be absent from August 12 through August 25, so it's not a good time to start anything...

    Sorry about that...

          I'll state it officially then

          I am not running for a second term as President

          This is mostly because of real life scheduling issues. If I could schedule it well, i would run again. Maybe sometime next year

                Spiffor, your not going ot run for anything? Not even something simple like Imperial Expansion?

                  Spiffor: We don't know how the whole 'revolution' thing might be going, so many of these roles might not exist.

                  I would also state that I won't be running for anything either as long as the gov. is what it is today- though if fundamental change happens, I may run for something.

                    I think Uber should be the DIA's candidate for Pres.

                      I've just seen skywalker will run for Economy. I feel I'd betray Apolytonia if I let such a serious post to a guy like him.
                      I might run for economy once again (AFAIK, the official limit is 3 consecutive terms at the same post) if no other serious candidate wants to take over.
                      If someone like Aggie or Lawrence of Arabia want to run for economy, I'll gladly hand it to them

                      (note, I'm a good builder but I suck at expansion : i would be a bad IE minister. Economy, City planning, workers or diplomacy are my trade, but I'll be only able to do Economy with my time constraints)

                        You know, Spiffor, I've managed to keep from just going around insulting people. Think you can use something a little more polite?

                          I am not insulting you, and I'm not swearing. I'm just clearly stating that you're not serious enough for this post IMO.
                          I worked much to make the ministry of the Economy running, with a very complete site, which allows me -and anybody who bothers going there- to have latest economic info.
                          I think you just want some power, and have no genuine interest in economy. Proof is : you ran for SMC, IE, science, economy, and IE again (did I forget something ?).

                          The fact that I doubt your competence is not an insult. It's my strong belief, and I always liked to be frank.

                            I'm interested in Civ3. And, yes, maybe I do want to actually be a Minister, but is there anything wrong with that? I have been in the Game for as long as anyone.

                              I'd be happy to run for Minister of Science (as I'm Australian, therefore can't attend turnchats).

                              However, I'll be out of contact until Tuesday, as I've got to go interstate (it's a once a year thing), so I may not be around for the elections. But I'll be back in time to do my job, and I'm on all the time, so I can't see this being much of a problem...
