[History Guy]

Heh heh...I'm lucky...if I don't become City Planner, I automatically become Deputy Chief of Intelligence...ah, life is good for an Apolytonian warrior and man of letters...

Vote WhiteBandit for Prez.

Because he loves you.

WB, you'd be great as either Pres. or VP. Go for it, man .

Fine. WhiteBandit = Insane.

Mark me in for El Presidente!

Wait! If we're talking about running for multiple offices: President and Vice President!

Only joking of course. But please change my nomination from Vice President, to that of the President. I suppose if people don't like the fact that I will do turn threads, they can just not vote for me.

Yes, it is true! I love everyone. Almost.

Okay! Go White!!

Arnelos, why don't you run for VP then?

EDIT: Wait a sec... two people running for President? Like, at the same time? We're gonna have a real election? Awsome! (I missed the Ninot/Trip. Shame that I'll probably have to abstain on this one since both canidates are too good for a simpleminded personl like me to choose )

[WhiteBandit]

Hehe, is Ninot or someone else actually considering running for President? I hope so. I'd like a challenger (whether it was a previous President or not, doesn't matter to me). It makes things fun!

So I encourage whomever to run for any position they choose, whether someone is there or not. Don't be afraid of losing to someone, just try and give it your best!

[Arnelos]

YEAH!!! WhiteBandit picked an office!!!



and since WhiteBandit is running for President, that means that GhengisFarb is certainly running for Public Works, removing that factor of uncertainty as well!

So my best choices are Imperial Expansion and Vice President, eh? I've been thinking about running for Vice President the most, but the recent discussion between myself and Meshelic (currently my opponent for Imperial Expansion) has piqued my interest in that office . As Apocalypse said, he's run a grand total of 1 1/2 turns as Vice President so far....

That said, with WhiteBandit in charge and having fewer posts than even myself despite being actually "older" than me here (and everyone knows I'm a relative newcomer ), I think we might make a good team. I'm cool with turnthreads, which both Ninot and WhiteBandit want, but if the President gives me the opportunity to run some turns myself, I'd like to use the turnchat method unless people object (because I *can* make turnchats and I've rather enjoyed them ).

So I guess I'll run for VP, removing that level of uncertainty from the ballot as well....

So all you people who were wondering where the pieces were going to fall, it seems they have now (mostly) fallen. We still have time between now and Saturday (plenty of time) to change our minds, especially if anyone big changes where they're at (I think Aggie, Togas and Reddawg are the ones most capable of causing a politcal earthquake by switching offices ), but it looks like things might actually be stable for this.

UNORTHODOX:

Please switch my candidacy from Minister of Imperial Expansion to Vice President

I reserve the right to change my mind, of course, but I'm rather happy with this.

Yes, Ninot has been considering running for President. He would also use turnthreads rather than turnchats for the same reason as yourself, so there's no worry about being different from your opponent in that regard if the race turns out to be between the two of you.

[adaMada]

Oh yea! Awsome term #5 coming right up.

Let me congradulate Ninot, WhiteBandit, and Arnelos. This is a major improvement from having to worry about running myself to fill an empty spot .

If anything, I'm just sorry that there has to be a looser -- both Ninot and WhiteBandit are very qualified, and I'd hope that whoever doesn't make it this time will try again in the future. No reason for such talent to go to waste .

Put me down for MoS again to, unless anyone objects to me being in two postions. I kinda miss that job. If Thud comes back or some other candidate becomes more active, I will withdraw my nomination though.

Upon reading this... i realised how sad Shiber is.
lol, just kidding.

Hmm, if Arnelos took VP, and one of us turnthread Presidents came to power, that would allow for a fine mix of chats and threads, and things would run quite smoothly, wouldn't they?

Ok, untill further notice, ink me down for President

[Meshelic]

CURRENT NOMINATIONS

Gathered from various threads, here is how it seems to be running so far:

PRESIDENT
Ninot (Independent)
WhiteBandit (Independent)

VICE-PRESIDENT
Arnelos (DIA)

MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Nimitz (DIA)
Togas (Independent)

SUPREME MILITARY COMMANDER
Aggie (Independent)

MINISTER OF ECONOMICS
Reddawg (Independent)

CITY PLANNER
E_T
Zeit (Independent)
HistoryGuy

MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORKS
Ghenghis Farb (Independent)

MINISTER OF SCIENCE
Duddha (Hawk)
Apocolypse

MINISTER OF IMPERIAL EXPANSION
Meshelic (Hawk)

Many run unopposed but there looks to be a good race in the offices of President, Foreign Affairs, and City Planner. Less than a week until election!

[Arnelos]

Some things you might want to note, concerning your post, Meshelic:

E_T is an Independent (he never "joined" the Hawks in the Hawk threads, though he may be a "warrior" style player, don't really know), History Guy was (apparently) a member of the Imperialist Party, though he now seems (like many others in his position) to be aligned with the Hawk Party if not actually a member. I guess we'd have to hear from the man himself on whether he's actually a member.

As for Ninot, my understanding is that he ran for President in term 2 as the candidate for DIA, but has since declared himself an independent.

[Meshelic]

Well I stand corrected, but I being not absolutely sure I just included the question marks, I had hoped that was realized. no matter though!

It could equally be a source of friction, but our job when running for office is to downlplay anyone's concerns about that, right?

::chuckle::

Anyway... I agree, with either of you as President, it would offer something of a balance dependent of what was called upon in a given situation or which office holder was more free to do what that week. It could actually work out quite well (seriously, now ).

EDIT: So hurrah for the figure-heads!

You are correct sir!

if my math has not become lost...

i am still the only President to come from the DIA party (unless MWIA or OPD is DIA......no, right?).

However, since August 18th, i have been an Independant, and will run as such this term.

Im running against WhiteBandit? Hrm... very good, i'll just have to turn on the old charm.
