Election Nomination Thread

[Reddawg]

Okay, I proffer myself forth for the position of Minister of Economy. It is decidedly background post compared to some of the others, which is better for me. And it's a good place for me to start in the government, with lesser responsibilites. Which will allow me to devote full attention to the responsibilities that I DO have... okay, good deal.

I'm honestly not sure; I inherited the job of keeping this up to date from UnOrthO because he had to go -- that doesn't mean I know what I'm doing .

If someone neutral needs to do the campeign threads, then I will do it upon request of either of the canidates. I think in past elections it was done by whichever canidate got around to doing it... I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter all that much.

If no one knows, then I'll happily take on the responsibility of upping my post cou... I mean, starting the campeign threads . I think that if a canidate just started one, however, like Duddha did, then I think that'd be fine as well. In the long term, I think it'd be best if a Neutral person did it; just seems like the best way to go. Having said that, I do have destinct memories of last term where canidates did it, so who knows. To summerize, if anyone wants me to start one, then post and I will. If anyone who's running wants to start one themselves, then just go ahead and do it. And if anyone knows right vs wrong on this issue, please let me know .

Usually one of the candidats post the election thread, however this is usually done after the nominations are done...... No big deal as long as the person who starts it is willing to keep track often and update the top post with who is running for the position.

The first post is only who is running for what position.

Then the second post is usually by the thread creator (as he knows about the thread) stating "why to vote for me...".

There have been times when there have been more that one campaign thread (I did this once, and I know others have also). Oops. no big deal. just link the two together in their first posts. usually one or the other dies off and all new posts go to one thread.

As a curtisy, I would advise anybody who starts such a thread to pm everybody else who is running and let them know about the thread. Also, if you didn't create the thread yet are running, I advise you to click on "receive updates to this thread" button on the top, so as to make it easier for you to know when people have questions. Good luck.

Ok. GK answered it .

If anyone wants me to create one (no clue why), then post and I'll do it. If anyone does create one, please either post or PM if I haven't gotten it in the first post after a few minutes.

Top post has been updated with Reddawg's running and Thud's request. Reddawg, good luck! I think you'd make a great Economic minister. Of course, Shiber could run too, and then we could have a real election , but I won't coerce him into doing something I'm not willing to do myself, lol.

I've seen that before

[adaMada]

MWIA or Unortho must post the election poll.

Anyone can post the campaign thread.

[adaMada]

I've just been talking to Apoc.

We've decided that, although he won't have time for extra VP duties, I'll take on one or two of them, specifically the Directory.

This is ideal for me, as I enjoy organizational work but wouldn't like playing the turns so much, and good for him as it gets the directory out of his way, but he still takes on the base role of VP.

I may also continue on in the Foreign Ministry, depending on my decisions over the next few weeks and Togas or the new Foreign Minister.

Either way, this is just a general notice. I'll probably talk to UnOrthO about it when he gets back, and finalize anything that needs it later.

Edit: Almost forgot to thank GodKing, who made the suggestion that lead to this happening... None of this would have happened without him.

Edit^2: Wow. Forgot something obvious . This whole post is based on the premise that Apocolypse becomes VP, does not have time for the Directory, and that there are no serious objections.

[UnOrthOdOx]

ada, you would be GREAT at maintaining the directory. Feel free to cut-paste what I already have, or create a new design.

First to be President in all 3 games, eh? Don't give me ideas here........

And to Reddawg and all others - I was nothing in this game before President. Just 1st Citizen of our great nation, nothing more. I couldn't even make most turnchats. It can be done, I'm not exceptional in any way, and it seems things have turned out OK. Run for anything at all - you can get in with no previous Civ3 DemoGame positions if you enjoy it, post diligently, and make an effort to get on with everyone and listen to all.

...and make vauge, uncommitting, 'presidental' statements only.


Cheers to Reddawg and everyone else running for their first position -- so far, I've seen a lot of good canidates, and I think we're lucky to have who we do.

What the heck, I'd like to run for Minister of Imperial Expansion. Of all the positions I think that's the one I'd enjoy the most.

(Nothing against Jonny or Will 5001, I think they'd both do fine jobs.)

[adaMada]

Ok Ghengis, putting you on the list now.

Wow, we're going to have a few fun elections .

Exactly now its not the same election anymore. They can both beat me and still feel good about themselves.
