Is there a rule that explicitly says you can't hold 2 positions.
I was just wondering, because I don't see it and if nobody wanted an executive position it would make sense for the smc to run for both president and smc. That way he would have nobody to blame if things didn't workout but himself. Not that I would be interested but.......

A military coup!

Dread General Aggie crumpled the dispatch from that bumbling OPD. Not good enough? Who does this pompus moron think he is. "McDonald's" is a fine name for a city. If his recently crowned highness thinks he can so nonchalantly ignore my city name proposal he had better have a a summer home in Greece. The Dread General muses over the final words of the dispatch, "...as such I will not be using the name 'McDonald's'. As to your demands for more troops or else, well I AM King and my decision stands. As to your threats, I find them laughable, you and what army?"

What army? DG Aggie looks across the burning grass of Persia. THIS army.

Meshelic · October 6, 2002, 14:37

CAN you run for two different positions? And although AGGIE I think you would make a great President and SMC, would that not make the game more one-sided? Oops, I spoke out of turn

Duddha · October 6, 2002, 14:47

I'm not sure if I'm for or against a military coup.

Meshelic · October 6, 2002, 15:54

I was considering running for Minister of Science but I don't feel it necessary to race against Duddha (two Hawks for one position?)

SO upon further decision

I will run against Arnelos for Imperial Expansion Minister. Good luck

Meshelic · October 6, 2002, 17:41

*whispers*Military Coup! Military Coup!

Aggie I commend you on your successes in our newest and most recent campaign against the Persians, I wonder who has the gall to be able to run against you?

Inverse Icarus · October 6, 2002, 17:44

military coup... sounds familiar

it would have shattered the game then, and it will shatter it now.

Aggie · October 6, 2002, 18:16

Yah i guess so, but at least i'm sure it will make somwbody run

Aggie

Apocalypse · October 6, 2002, 18:21

When I really think about it, I probably won't be available much for both the start of the term and the end of the term. I might as well just run for UN Rep and possibly IE if Arnelos runs for VP.

So, put "Apocalypse" (two 'a's, one 'o') down for UN Rep.

GhengisFarb™ · October 6, 2002, 18:39

Okay, I'm getting a new harddrive next week and could probably install the old version of civ3 so I might be able to run for Pres if no one else is running.

Aggie · October 6, 2002, 19:18

Thanks ghengis you saved me from plunging our nation into a crisis.
Aggie

Apocalypse · October 6, 2002, 19:25

Now where's Thud? He was interested in running for VP last term.

adaMada · October 6, 2002, 19:26

*Whew*

I really couldn't do either Prez or VP (Well, could have been VP if I never had to play the game, which would have defeated the purpose), so it sounds like disaster may be averted

.

Apocalypse · October 6, 2002, 19:31

If Ghengis is willing to play enough you can be VP...

I've played about 1 1/2 turns so far. Next weekend I might be more free to play quite a bit.

Arnelos · October 6, 2002, 20:04

Huh... if Ghengis is going to run for Prez, then I'm probably running for Public Works... which means Meshelic (who is now running for IE) could get it w/o having to run against me... this could work out

If not, I could always run for VP or continue my current run for IE...

this is getting interesting

Thud has been MIA for the past several days... He hasn't responded to my PMs in that time

or posted on the boards.

He must be busy or out of town.

Does this mean you're going to replace Apolytonia's leader head with your "Sexy Cleopatra" leader head as "The Banana"?

I mean, we need to ask about the real issues if you wanna run for President, right?

What an idea!

You are hereby nominated Arnelos... for President.

Actually "Sexy Cleopatra" is our leader when I open up saves on my computer. Bresta the "Jessica Rabbit" lookalike is leader of Germany, Helen of Troy is the leader of Greece, and Deedlit the Elf Princess is leader of France. On my computer we're surrounded by "bouncing" females. The only male we bordered was Xerxes and well we know what happened to him.............

History Guy · October 6, 2002, 21:30

Alright, let's see...are any possibilities open? Hmmm...how about City Planner? Ummm...Provincial Governor? I'm open to anything, myself...unless it's finances...And I'm a member of the imperialist (hawk) party...and I've a talent for administration...Any suggestions?

History Guy · October 6, 2002, 21:31

Frankly, I wouldn't want to see someone like Genghis Farb in our presidential office, but that's just me...

ThePlagueRat · October 6, 2002, 21:35

Someone wanna nominate me for something I fit into?

ThePlagueRat · October 6, 2002, 21:36

Environmental Minister perhaps?

Nominations work weird -- you nominate yourself and declare your intention to run for the position. Of course, there's always peer pressuring to get people to nominate themselves for the job, but anyone can decide to run.

ThePlagueRat · October 6, 2002, 21:40

I knew

but I think it's cooler to be nominated, than to nominate one self.

History Guy · October 6, 2002, 21:53

What posts are open for nominations as of now? I'd like to nominate myself for...something.

All are.

Check the first post -- it has a list of who's running for what (Thanks UnOrthO!). See what kind of job you want, and then announce you're gonna run for it.

ThePlagueRat · October 6, 2002, 21:58

Here I've got my new healtcare platform:
"Bannanabis is good for your Thinkerbox"

What do you think I should run for?

History Guy · October 6, 2002, 22:09

Hmmm...is Zeit, running for City Planner, a Hawk? If not, I should like to run for that post on the good old Hawk/Imperialist ballot. Anyway who ain't DIA should vote for me, and all DIA members should also vote for me...just because I kiss the babies. Yeah, that's right...I kiss the babies!
