Good work John

Hydey · May 17, 2003, 11:17

but not historian as reading and writing seem to fail me.

mrboo123 · May 17, 2003, 11:24

alrighty then!

teic · May 17, 2003, 11:39

Mayby everyone should start writing Dutch here.
It would be allot easier

(for me)

shade · May 17, 2003, 12:39

Dat is voor sommigen misschien mogelijk, maar ik vrees dat het overgrote deel dan totaal geen clou zal hebben waar we mee bezig zijn

On topic

Since real life is showing it's ugly head again...you all will be saved of my monstrous poll's ... I'll be a "silent citizen" voting and arguing why we should impeach our government

I personally nominate Hydey to be our next minister of War...I think he will do a fine job.

I'll toss my Aussie style snap-brim camo-style hat into the ring. I have a burning desire to lead the glorious Chosen Ones to ruthless and glorious conquest, to explore and pillage all the recources available, and to make our cities centers of military prowess and weaponry.

I seek the office of President. And I welcome many other contestants for that position! Let's have a good contested election with several people going for the job.

Give the Citizens a lot of choices! These 1 or 2 candidate elections are boring.

Announce, announce, announce!

atawa · May 17, 2003, 18:52

I have never been sience advisor, time to change that

I'll nominate myself for the position.

cavebear · May 17, 2003, 19:02

Hmm, lets try something new... I nominate War4Ever to be our Minister of War, H Tower to be our City-Planner, and Gramphos as our Foreign Minister.

No reason why we shouldn't demand the best!

While we have usually depended on self-nominations, is there any reason why we can't ask for those who seem best qualified for any specific time of the game?

yes, but if there don't want to do it, we shouldn't force them.

Me as city planner would not be the best

I suppose you could nominate anyone you want, usually that person should accept the nomination, otherwise they may get elected, but be on holiday for the whole month and never be around.

H Tower · May 18, 2003, 01:04

Forigen minister for me, I don't want too big a challenge this month

I will happily accept this nomination.

Hydey · May 18, 2003, 08:18

Perhaps we should hurry this along if the president is unable to play any turns.

SCG · May 18, 2003, 10:33

[preemptive withdrawal]
with the talk of being nominated vs self nominations, and as a player that has held a positon after another nominated him, I would like to announce that i do not have the time this month for a ministerial position

Thank you
[/preemptive withdrawal]

cavebear · May 18, 2003, 15:40

John - Hydey is running for Minister of War, not Foreign Minister.

mrboo123 · May 18, 2003, 16:05

opps sorry!

War4ever · May 18, 2003, 17:20

hydey can have the minister of war position this time around...thanks for the vote of confidence Cavebear.....!

i will wait till it gets a bit more exciting....after all, building warriors in all your cities doesn't require much skill

atawa · May 18, 2003, 17:57

I nominate John for city planner.

It's a lot more then building warriors and I trust he'll do a good job at it.

(Even though he forgot to put the position into the nomination thread

)

Hydey · May 18, 2003, 18:45

Minister for War

I hope we find someone to war with

Hydey · May 18, 2003, 18:49

when do the nominations end and the elections held?

Incoming ministers should make sure they are ready to go straight away, we need to get this thing moving.

OK, but you better show what you can do in the early game, or people aren't going to be too confident in you when things get complicated! Deciding how to place limited numbers of military units for maximum defense and attack isn't exactly formulaic.

Maybe you'll join us next month's elections... We should be well into medieval times then.

But I see Hydey is running for MiniWar and (if I am elected President), I will be very pleased to have his excellent advice!

cavebear · May 18, 2003, 18:53

C'mon folks, can we *please* have more than one candidate per position? Be brave, take on the challenge! It's not *that* hard and it is good to have fresh thinking in this game...

MrWhereItsAt · May 18, 2003, 19:23

Thanks for this thread, john.

cavebear is right - it is an easy (and fun!) job, especially at this point of the game. You get to know the other DGers and Apolytoners quite well also. And if you're interested at all in improving your own game skills, there's no faster way then doing it yourself after listening to the experts!

atomant · May 19, 2003, 04:24

I would consider running, but it would be a bit of a conflict of interest if I did.

Opps, sorry, and thanks, but no thanks.

War4ever · May 19, 2003, 13:39

i prefer to call it search and destroy, but hunt and seek works well too

atawa · May 19, 2003, 16:05

One of our horses is close to the Japs, we'll have a fight soon
