Election Nomination for First Term Under New Con

[Togas]

Elections for our new government under our New Constitution will begin on November 12th. There are only four elected offices, so this election should be one of the most interesting ones to date.

Candidates need to announce their intention to run prior to the 12th, as The Court will create the election threads and they need to know who's running before the elections start.

At this time I do not intend to run for another term as Foreign Affairs Minister, however, I may change my mind if no one else steps forward. I enjoy this work and have a desire to continue working as our FAM, but I don't want to become an institution that needs to be beaten out of office. So if someone else has the desire to take this vitally important and extremely rewarding position, please speak up. You may also PM me with questions, etc.

Well I have enjoyed SMC very much, but I think it is time to let somebody else have all the fun, so I do not intend to run again. However, I will not be leaving you. I hereby announce my candidacy for the 1st President of the 2nd Republic.

I'd just like to say that I fully support aggie's presidential campaign. Having worked with him closely I know that he would make an exellent pres.

Another good term WIA and another GL I gather.

Also it's good to see spiff again.

[E_T]

I'm announcing that I'll be running for the position of Domestic Minister of the Second Republic. I hope to continue what I have started while being Term V City Planner, which is to make us the best Nation on the Planet.

Hmm, maybe I'm going to run for Presi...

Erm, wait, no, nevermind.

[Arnelos]

I fully support the candidacy of E_T for Domestic Minister

Personally, I do currently intend to run for anything elected for the first term under the New Con I think I'd like to take that first term to see what I can do in the Senate (might change my mind if PTW is such a distraction that few people stand up for positions, though).

I'd like to run for SMC but I am rather poor at military movements and I don't have enough time. We might not go to war in this term though

[Thud]

Here's a big shocker:

I hereby announce my intention to run for Supreme Military Commander .

[GodKing]

THUD!!!!!!!!! SMC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my.... I feel feint..... Quick, somebody get the smelling salts......

BONK


As I slowly regain conscousness, I think it is kinda a good thing Thud. Move on over to the Dark Side. It's kinda fun. Elvis and Jimmy Hendrix are over here, warming up for tonights concert. Lots of delicious Deep Fried Finger Foods, all you can eat, and the Women.... well, lets not go there until after you have converted. In the mean time, plan on taking all those lovely greek cities, will you please. I want to get the ivory market cornered, and they are so lightly defended at the moment.

Between those two things that makes you about 0% qualified for the position.

That's the best surprise I've gotten all day

I fully support Thud in his candidacy for Supreme Military Commander!

I hope that we shall have a gentlemanly military commander who is fierce in battle, yet uses force as the last chosen means rather than the default means of pursuing Apolyton's interests! Additionally, we might even be able to hope that Thud, as SMC, might be able to tame the warriors into respecting something of a code of honor in battle rather than looting, pillaging, raping, eating babies, and causing general mayhem when taking over the cities of our enemies... as we'd honestly prefer to take enemy cities FULLY INTACT rather than as the ruined pieces of refuse our warriors have typically left them...

I support the candidacy of this reluctant and honorable warrior!

[GodKing]

Now wait one moment... just what is wrong with the occasional Rape, Pillage, Looting, and baby Snack Food? Nothing say I. Nothing at all as long as it isn't in my house, and so far due to our excelent military it never has been. Thud, please do not let these measures of our army go to the side. Let us continue to teach those heathen barbarians that we are the best, and that they are scum, and that they should just join us and be scum no more.

Absolutely brilliant.

I don't know if Thud has fallen for the glory of war but I suspect it has more to do with using his position of power to ensure that we have a Pax Apolytonia, but either way, this is a VERY interesting.

I suggest that Aggie be given some medical assistance when he learns that he will be assisted by Thud as SMC !

Never under estimate the power of built up aggression.
