This should be an interesting race, no?

....Duddha is the Hawk leader? Ok....sure....

Well, I was asked to be some time back......perhaps I should?

ow.

Duddha is the Vice-Chairman of the Hawks and one its strongest advocates, but if anyone was the 'de facto' leader of our lovely party, UberKruX is your man, with all due respect to Duddha.

i would step down as chairman if you wanted the position...

Arnelos · October 5, 2002, 11:13

My comment was mearly commending Duddha's ability to hold himself well in an argument and his propensity to be the first Hawk who interjects himself into an argument. I respect that.

/me goes to look up "de facto"...

Exercising power or serving a function without being legally or officially established

oh, alright

i'm honestly beginning to think these new players in the demogame don't know a lot about me

and to think i was one of the "most influentual ancient apolytonians", or something.

oh well. i'm going to have to come back soon and stir things up again

You can thank the Hawk propoganda machine for that.

I must say, it IS nice to see UberKrux back into the swing of things.

Arnelos, ar you saying I don't get around enough? OK. Time to go start making trouble on the boards...

Not at all what I'm saying. You will note that I specifically paid homage to your particular brand of incidiary rhetoric in one of my more recent posts in the now imfamous (and latest) "republic" thread

- I even cited you as the source for my style. It's the post where I'm responding to the leader of your party whining about being "labeled"

The Uber's Avatar is hypnotizing me... Yes, Master... Uber for Prez... and for VP... and SMC... and...

Seriously, I would like to see Uber in the next term.

UnOrthO, see your inbox!

Gentlemen:

It becomes clear that a cabal, lead by outlaws, men sent into exile for their scandalous words against the government, seek to destroy our system an install a military dictatorship! Members of the government may be involved, though we know not which ones. Even though they advocate a militaristic path, the may even be at work with the republican scum! Can we allow such an attack on our system! Perhaps these coming 'elections' for the estates should be cancelled, to avoid possible violence or disturbances.

I have only run once, and I don't think I will be running for this election either, unless some sort of geographical naming group or sub-group is created... Then I want that job! . I also offer my services to whomever wins FM.

Is no one running for UN Rep? I'll do it if no one else will, but it was a wanted position before, and it sounds like you can do that as well as something else -- I'm shocked that no one's shown any interest.

I guess I'll go take a look at their forums and decide if it's something I want to do.

I thought Unortho was interested in that...

adaMada · October 5, 2002, 14:02

I asked him if he was running for UN Rep, and he said:

Of course, that's his way of saying he's gonna run for Pres next term after we pressure him into it

, but it does sound like he doesn't want the UN Rep. job.

I thought there were some other interested people though... I may run for the position even if someone else runs (It'll be fun to have a real election for once

), but I'm supprised that no one else who expressed interest went for it.

-- adaMada

EDIT: UnOrthO, is that true? I refuse to run against you in that position

(and don't feel especially strong about it), so if I'm wrong, tell me.

GePap · October 5, 2002, 15:08

Purple is my monarchist side

Blue is my republican color

Is my relegious color

and

Red is my IMPORTANT color

Is the UN really taking shape? have all the other dem games signed up to it?

UnOrthOdOx · October 5, 2002, 15:29

The UN is for real. The Demogypticans have a rep, and CFC is electing one right now. No word from the EZBoard, though I am not going to go ask them of it either.

NO, I am not running this term for anything. The Gazette Expansion Project is likely to happen, I do not want to get distracted by other things. Besides, I don't feel I havehad any less of an impact this term just sitting behind the lines, and I will continue to provide assisttance anywhere needed. December I will consider, but it depends on a few things.

ada, you would do fine, though I thought Thud had strong feelings about it, and he would do fine as well, or maybe he just didn't want to see a Hawk go.

Inverse Icarus · October 5, 2002, 16:29

any progress on a multi-site democracy game?

Apocalypse · October 5, 2002, 17:03

Since Arnelos is down for IE, I might run for an executive spot again.

Here is the deal: If I run for Pres, there will be almost no turnchats, mainly just threads. My schedule is too wacky for many turchats.

If I run for VP again, I'll continue what I do now.

OPD · October 5, 2002, 17:23

lol
this threads going to be topped soon.

Apocalypse · October 5, 2002, 17:28

Actually...I kinda want to be UN Rep now that I think about it. I wonder if any people at these other sites would remember me.

adaMada · October 5, 2002, 17:29

/me realizes that OPD's gearing up to have a jolly good time over the next week and a half topping and detopping threads

-- adaMada

adaMada · October 5, 2002, 17:45

Apoc for UN Rep! Apoc for UN Rep!

I might run against you and then we can have a real fun election, but if you really want it then I'll probably just step aside -- there's always lots of other stuff to do.

It would be separate from this Democracy game, but so far there are at least four sites planning on participating.

Actually, if no one else wants to run for the executive offices, we might have to bite the bullet and each of us run to fill those two slots.

Arnelos · October 6, 2002, 06:28

I suppose I could run for an executive post if you guys think you're willing to trust me at it

Seriously, I have the time to do VP through November at least if it seems that almost no-one is running for it. The IE position isn't going to be terribly important next term and the Prez and VP just run turnchats, so I'd think I could easily do any of them.

So I'm open to running for executive stuff (since it seems I have more time than most poeple to play the game) if others don't want those positions.

nalob · October 6, 2002, 12:12

We have three official representatives now in the UN council:
-Disorganizer from Fanatika
-Darekill from Demogyptica
-Scorpius from The Community

We are still waiting for diplomats from Apolytonia and the EZ board Democracy game. Discussions on a multisite DG have not started yet because we are waiting for more representatives.

GodKing · October 6, 2002, 12:33

Just to make it official, I am NOT running again. Just don't think I have the time to be able to commite to do the job justice, as evidenced by the last couple of weeks.

Perhaps in a couple of months I can run again for something.
