Term 7 Nomination Thread

[Aro]

We need to organize this. Who is running for what?

Prez: Apocalypse (?), Arnelos(?)
FAM: ManicStarSeed, Arnelos (?), adaMada (?)
SMC: Meshelic, CivFan01, E_T (?)
DM: (empty)

…And adaMada, edited to be in the right place…
...edited again, 'cause Arnelos is being pressured...
...edited, Unortho isn't running.

Is this? Still correcting me, please.

[adaMada]

Goooodddd...

I threaten to run, and look what happens? They come out of the woodworks .

Seriously, I'll at least be volunteering for some sort of governmental role this term. I'll probably be seeking appointment, but it's possible I'll be running for something, though I'm not quite sure what yet. If I run, it'll probably be for FAM, since I don't have the skill to handle any other job -- and yet the FAM office seems to be well in hand with canidates, so perhaps it's time to return to appointment or deputyship? Food for thought...

Let me say this, however. I do promise that I will either run or see how I can help the elected officials. I was disapointed this term that there was little help for our elected officials (including from myself), and (as such) I plan to do what I can to ensure that someone gets the meger help I can provide. I know it's not much, considering that the half of the term that I am in school will be very busy, but I will do my best -- and I'd hope that some of the people who loose their election (which it seems there will be several) stick around and stay in some sort of role. Having spent three terms as Vice-FAM, I can say that it really is the best of all deals -- power, respect, and when it hits the fan, it's not your fault .

I'm being pressured by some people to run for President and I'm at least considering it... that said, I'm rather happy with FAM and I'd rather stick with it (which is why I've announced for FAM). If it really looks like we need a presidential candidate, though, I'll run for it (I had a very enjoyable time as VP running turnchats).

As for commentary at this point, it looks like we really need people to run for Domestic Minister...

[adaMada]

Agreed (with the need for DM comment ).

Furthermore, before anyone asks, I will not run for DM . I just hate dealing with the workers and production -- I normally auto the workers and don't plan my production strategy at all. I just had to throw it out there before anyone suggests it .

It's sad that this thread is 3 pages long and we still have absolutely no one running for anything.

Actually, we have quite a number of people running for stuff... Unothodox has just not been online (or too lazy? ) to post that they have

[ManicStarSeed]

I think he mentioned (elswhere) that he has some RL stuff come up.

[Aro]

Unortho isn't running.

[GodKing]

Just so that it is out there - I will be posting the elections on this comming thursday - late in the PM EST (this is Dec 12, 2002). Elections will last for 3 days (end on Dec 15th). I will go through this thread and list everybody for the positions they said they will run for. If you change your mind between now adn then, post here and if possible PM me.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Who's (dumb enough to be) running for DM?

[jdjdjd]

We were hoping you would GF. Will you?

[E_T]

If it's not to late, I'm announcing my candidacy for SMC.

I will try to make our Wars, smart. glorious ones.

Did you not catch the "dumb enough to be" part? That's the most impossible job to have under the NewCon. I might have considered it if I wasn't already holding an office in the PTW game.

[Arnelos]

At this point, I am HEAVILY considering switching my candidacy to President. I'd honestly rather be FAM (has much more impact on the game), but it seems I'm rather lonely as someone with Prez/VP experience, willing to do the job, and free for the entire length of the term to hold turnchats.

If no-one runs for Domestic Minister, I'm also able to FILL IN for at least the first chat of that job as well, though I'd REALLY REALLY HOPE to appoint a TEAM of people to split up that job (CP-equivalent, MoPW-equivalent, and perhaps a regional breakdown).

I'm waiting on responses to a few more PMs, but especially with Unortho no longer able to fill this void, I feel obligated to fill it unless something ground shattering takes place in the next 1-2 hours or so.
