D.G.#2 Election nominations

Marquis de Sodaq · July 18, 2002, 12:48

We have plenty of time before elections need to occur, but can fill the meantime with nominations, campaign promises and lies, and other verbiage.

We need players to fill the ministerial posts:

President

Vice President

Minister of War

Trade Advisor

Science Advisor

Minister of Imperial Expansion

City Planner

Historian

If we start elections on friday the 26th, we have 5+ days to vote (including a weekend), organize, and begin the next game!

Nominate!

civman2000 · July 18, 2002, 15:43

I'm leaving on vacation the 28th, so i'll probably not run for anything (except possibly historian)

H Tower · July 18, 2002, 17:12

its kind of hard to nominate people for positions if we don't even know if they are going to continue to play. For instance, former president(game 1) Shaka Nuldur hasn't voiced an opinion in quite a while, he might not be wanting to participate in this new game. maybe we need to do an updated members list for the new game...

oh btw, I'm going to participate in the new game

Darkness' Edge · July 18, 2002, 22:59

what happened to foreign minister?
did hydey do such a good job that he has it permenantly?

Xenozod · July 19, 2002, 01:57

He "convinced" his opposition that they didn't need to run against him.

H Tower - I posted a membership thread before I read your post here - but it was your idea first if anyone asks.

Please everybody who reads this go here and state that you are a citizen of the Second Civ2 Democratic game.

I'll participate as citizen, but I'll be away in vacation a large part of august.

So, no nomination for the first government !

shade · July 22, 2002, 14:33

Man, noone seems to realize this, but Ministers of Imperial Expansion and City Planning are ONLY ONE MINISTRY.

A good idea, but sorry, it's the reverse : I'll be away from august the 14th to september !
About the lack of volunteers, maybe sptember would be a better perod to start a demo game !

damn it's somewhat the same problem here

from half august to half september I won't be able to do anything here

.

about the presidential post=> John deserves it so he gets my full support.(= me not president)

Shade

civman2000 · July 23, 2002, 07:20

This coming Sunday I'm leaving for 2 weeks, but september is fine for me

-Jrabbit · July 23, 2002, 08:04

Out of town 28 July to 04 August. But if we can get a core group together, I see no reason not to start in August. It'll only be the boring bits anyway.

Nomination accepted. (Thx, H Tower.)

Marquis de Sodaq · July 23, 2002, 09:26

shade, JCP - run for Trade Minister and Foreign Minister. We might not meet any AIs for the first month, anyway.

atawa · July 23, 2002, 16:40

I'll accept the nomination.

My friend makes a good point........I have not heard when the next game will officially start and I may like to take an offic emyself

Of course it must have an attached brewery

-Jrabbit · July 23, 2002, 18:24

With any luck, we'll get Brewing as one of our starting techs...

H Tower · July 23, 2002, 19:03

come on people, am i going to choose the government myself because i'm the only one to nominate people? Nominate

ixnay · July 24, 2002, 03:49

Sure, I'll accept my nomination as city planner. Sounds like fun.

Its the 28th but where are the ellections???????????

H Tower · July 27, 2002, 14:10

we don't have hardly anyone running. all election positions are uncontested as of this moment since some people that I nominated have not stepped forward and said that they would/could execute their office. also, no one is running for Minister of War or trade. How about running for a position yourself?

Since MdS said we should have the elections in August and complete them in time for a september start, a good idea IMO, How about if we wait just a few more hours until tonight my time, and then I'll post the elections. that will give time for certain posters (*cough* teic *cough*) to throw their hat in the ring

Marquis de Sodaq · July 27, 2002, 23:14

Yet, it might be a good idea to get the game started, even with only a few people in the cabinet. The early game is uneventful enough that it might work out okay. The only really crucial posts are the president, a science advisor, and a military advisor. The president could poll for things like city placement and such until more people return to the forum...
