I nominate myself for Minister of Defense.

I have no experience at all at being a Minister of Defense of any real country in the world... But I'm not bad at Chess!

What happened to the Dictatorship of Quinntopia

I second the nomination of Quinns, but I would have found it interesting to have MOBIUS as our MoD

[quinns]

I could still play the Despotic Dictator of Quinntopia if you like... I thought the single player despot idea was voted out though...

[Frozzy]

Yeah, it was voted out... but in the next game we may fear the wrath of the Quinntopian armies

[quinns]

and thanks for the "second", Frozzy.
