Apolemurian People's Party

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

well, i was away some time, sorry folks.

so lets get a chairperson (be it man, woman or other).
i would suggest we begin the elections on feb 1st and then every month. i would like to nominate myself because i started this thread and tamerlin, since he seems to be the most active poster around here at the moment. and of course because i don't want to be the chairman but his delegate or something so i can backstab him and seize power in the right moment

[Devil of Truth]

I like the way you think. You have my vote. Let the backstabbing begin!

[Tamerlin]

So you would like me to become the Prime Secretary of the Apolemurian Supreme in order to backstab me and take the place?

Why not competing for the position?

If you have some ideas about a political program beyond hemp and donkeys, though they should not be fogotten, post them.

I'm running for MoD

Let's at least make a stand against the war party. With an APP candidate in power, we can prevent war until we absolutely have to steal their weed.

Vote Me!
Peace Out!
IW!

You can count on my vote IW.

Would you like to become the first Prime Secretary of the Apolemurian Supreme?

[Immortal Wombat]

no. just a delegate to the Council

I think there is no problem, we should elect our Prime secretary (Zaphod is the prime candidate as founder of our great party) and propose him to appoint you as the official party's delegate to the council.

VOTE NOW, APP!

Don't let the warmongers destory our fledgling civilisation.

another election:
Prime Secretary of the Apolemurian Supreme!

candidates so far are my humble self and tamerlin.
the election should begin today, because its the first of the month. but i need a little feedback from you: do we want a real poll like in those threads for all citizens (giving the voters anonymity) or should everyone post their choice (so it can be sure only partymembers count and we don't get a puppet by the warparty as our head. though i'm rather sure whether tamerlin nor myself would follow such a foul tactic)

excuse my bad english, but its 2am here, i just came home from rl-work and am tired.

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

and another question to the party:
do we have an official position regarding the current poll about the spot for the second city? if you read those 2 threads you can know, why i'm against the potatoe (though that could be fed to the donkeys ) and in favor of the coal. but of course thats just my personal point of view.

I have already voted in favor of the potato though I would have voted otherwise if I knew your position.

I think we should adopt common positions in this thread, after some debate of course, and stick to them in the various DG polls and threads.

About the Prime Secretary Election, I think we should restrict the possibility to vote to the members of the APP and thus vote through this thread.

You have my vote dear founder.

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

ok, since nobody else seems to have any objections i hereby declare the election as open. it will end exactly 5 days after the time stamp of this message.

i myself will humbly abstain

so so far the votes are:

Tamerlin 0
Zaphod 1
Abstain 1

EDIT: spelling

news from the chat:
once again the better arguments of the app won, even though there was a huge majority of wp members in the chat. after a long debate we could convince the majority of the chatters that we need another settler so we can secure the coalspot for ourselves, instead of building up huge amounts of outdated armies to see them being crushed by our neighbours, who can be our friends instead of our foes if we act in a civilized manner.

[Tamerlin]

Our great visionnary founder has showed them the truth through the wisdom of his writings. All hail the great Zaphod Beeblebrox!

Sorry, I have fumbled with my connexion and should have appeared earlier. I will try to be present next time provided a wednesday or a friday is not chosen. I have a role playing game session every wednesday night (a short D&D one) and another one every two friday (a much longer Daredevils one).

the only reason we were able to convinve the wp members to produce another settler was the projected city site coal spot. If we had settled there first like proposed here then I'm sure we would be building units now - the party should get its politics straight!
