October Elections: Minister of Imperial Expansion

ixnay · September 27, 2002, 01:27

This election needs some explanation - we originally had no candidates for this, and -Jrabbit mentioned he'd consider running for this post. Also, since there's a 4-way race for the presidency, I figured the 2 runners-up should have a chance at a ministerial position. If the presidential runner-up wins this election, then the 3rd place candidate will have the option of taking this post or declining it.

-Jrabbit
Presidential runner-up

Voting untili the end of the month.

tough call

Imperial expansion becomes less important anyway as we are on the brink of changing playing styles.

A move to rep means we actualy have to build our city's up instead of just cranking out settlers as we have done up till now.

In order to seal my place in history as the only one ever to lose to an unnamed opponent, I just voted against myself.

It's better than losing to the banana (which just happened in the SMAC game

).

Seems to be working too.

But a point of order here, the runners up to the presidency didnt run for this office, so all votes for that option should not be valid IMO.

This is the risk you take when entering a contested election, no need to hand out minister positions to them

I vote for a re-poll between Jrabbit and the Banana.

Let the best Banana win

I don't know if I can compete -- I just don't have a peel...

Minister of Imperial Expansion for October will be...

King Hydey

or maybe

atawa

But not me.

Your evil plans to draft me have gone astray, run aground, come to nothing,

OK, Hydey, the job is yours if you accept. Otherwise, atawa gets it. If they both decline it, I guess we might just have to go with -Jrabbit.

OK

The job is for Hydey, as the looser of the play off will be VP.

The people voted me into excile so I cannot do this task, let the people vote someone else to do it.

ixnay · October 1, 2002, 20:41

I take it you've declined it then? OK, the job is yours, atawa, unless you decline, too.

I depart Friday on a 5-day (RL) business trip to the wilds of LA. Extremely limited if any comp time till Wednesday the 9th...
