I am a current judge, and would have to resign....

I would be willing to do so and be prez if, and only if, nobody else wants to do it.

If I am it, there will be NO turnchats.

If I am it, any missing minister orders I will make judgements, and issue either my own or halt the game.

I will, in essance, be a petty dictator, doing what I want, how I want, when I want, and so forth. That doesn't mean I will intentionally brake any laws or violate the reasoning behind having the demo-game. It just means that I will run it like a person who isn't going to put up with a lot of crap.

If I have a VP who is willing, they will be more than welcome to play the game as a chat every now and then.

Because of how I know I will run this, I strongly advise someone else to run. I would much rather stay a justice for this month.

GK

I would be happy to be your VP in such an instance, perhaps even hold a chat once or twice, but not often...

As I stated, I would rather not be prez at this time. I can completely understand the desire for chats. I am just unable to do so. Therefore, I would prefer it if someone else was able to do this, such as aggie who appears to be in almost the same position I am in, and DO the chats. I enjoy sitting in on them from time to time. Simply consider me a course of desperation.

GK

Again, GodKing, thanks for being so willing. I guess we really can't all be too picky right now can we?

Aggie, President? (Guess that means you can't be my deputy...)

[Shiber]

I'm pretty sure that Roadcage would volunteer to be your deputy. He has proven himself to be a first-class strategist countless times. In fact, I think he should run for SMC.

[Arnelos]

(coming out of the shadows...)

I am willing to be President again if no-one else will do it and put the proper time into it run turnchats (which I agree with Shiber as being essential).

My problem is that I'm not too thrilled with it as long as we're at war. Being President means that you have to be there for the ENTIRE turnchat and turnchats during wars are AGGRAVATINGLY LONG. Taking 6 hours to do 2 turns hasn't been my cup of tea. I far preferred running turnchats as the pseudo "Acting President" in MrWIA's absense when we did 5 turns in only 2-3 hours.

I don't particularly like losing 6 hours each saturday and another insane number of hours sometime else in the week just to do 2 measly turns.

As much as it's fun firing artillery at Otto, losing that much time I could be doing other things has become a drag.

I will run for president if someone else doesn't both want it and have the time for it. That said, as with this past term when I wanted to be FAM, I wouldn't be running for President because I'm extremely enthusiastic about the job description.

I'll probably be looking for a Vice President this next term that is fully capable of doing all the job description of President. Assuming none of you turkeys turn me down this time, the VP could be a lot more important this next term if I run for President.

That will be all for now...

As normal, I won't be running for anything . Shiber'll be great as FAM (consider this my endorsement), and I have no intention of challanging him there. As for the Presidency, I find myself (yet again) in the nasty position of being a student , and (as such) unable to do much in the way of a solid schedule, considering that it takes HOURS to play the game.

Same with being Vice President. I can serve in any capacity except in playing the game, which is where help is needed most .

So... I'm sorry to say that it sounds like I'll be rather useless yet again this term .

Any more RAs?

I'm considering running, but I want two more deputies signed up (more, if any of you who said you wanted to be an RA before can't/won't any longer).

hi ,

, that would be great , since we are at an important point of history , actually most of the people could stay , this would cut down on some time that is lost due to the elections and it would also mean that many great projects can be finished in a fast and correct way , ...

have a nice day

I nominate panag for President. I think he did okay as Vice and deserves a promotion.

[Aro]

I second that.

[Meshelic]

Arnelos, Aggie and Panag are all in the running for President, is that correct?

Nope, just panag. Which is only fair as Arnelos and Aggie have both held office so its panag's turn.

[GodKing]

Shiber would throw a fit........

But I have no objections.

Panag for Prez, and GF to be his VP..... no wait....... he would be better at domestic, now, but Kloreep is going to run for that.... oh the decisions we have......

Advertisement for the DM job

YOU might be the future DM, if you want to. The DM job will be far more gratifying next term than it has been during the previous terms, because :
- there is virtually not any more PW to do.
- most workers will be integrated, or will have a framework for their integration
- RAs are experienced and autonomous

You'll mostly have to check if RAs' decisions don't radically go against the big picture, and do some general-interest requests to your RAs (as well as occasional PW)

Overall, DM might probably be the elected job with the least work to do next term, while still being critical to Apolytonia !

Of course, you might ask "Why do you leave then, if the job is so fulfilling ?". The answer is personal : much more RL work to do now, and the fact that I'm bored during war (for some, war in Civ is fun, but for me it is utterly dull). Also, turnchats were saturnday afternoon for me, which was a time I couldn't spend with my friends (if a North American takes over me, turnchats will be at a much more convenient time of a day). So, I'm overall wanting to enjoy retirement next term.

Panag for Prez

Why not?!? It's better than the Banana....
