Sound of crickets..................

vmxa1 · September 19, 2003, 11:37

Let me nominate bakalov as I know he loves this race.

Iasius · September 19, 2003, 13:47

Seconded.

Gilgamensch · September 19, 2003, 13:50

I need bakalovs OK for it.............

I would not like to see somebody proposed, which we might vote for and he even doesn't know about.........

GhengisFarb™ · September 19, 2003, 15:34

I nominate Gilgamensch for anything he wants to run for.

vmxa1 · September 19, 2003, 16:14

Makes sense, that is why it was only a nomination. He may in fact decline.

Whoha · September 19, 2003, 16:54

I nominate vmxa1 to minister of defense

Pave · September 20, 2003, 02:39

I nominate myself as Minister of Affairs.

Gilgamensch · September 22, 2003, 04:15

Thanks GhengisFarb for your support, but as my job is sometimes occupying me fairly strong, I am not sure, if I'll run in the moment.

You might have seen, that I dropped out in between, as I had to go on a trip.............

Harry Seldon · September 22, 2003, 13:43

Nobody's going to run for president?

I'll give it a shot but let me make sure I still have my MOO disk at home.

Gilgamensch · September 23, 2003, 03:39

Harry,

trying to trick us again?

We want to play MoO2

bakalov · September 23, 2003, 04:54

Vmxa, I am sure that an average player cannot screw up the things with this race. I will be here all of the time with lots of good advice (as probably you will be too), but don't want to be the president myself ... I believe that Harry can handle this. There will be other presidents coming :-) I'd like to see Iasius as a president too ....

Hehehe Pave, we have fired the minister of affairs before the start - as a repulsive race we have only 2 diplomacy options - to declare war, and to beg for peace ... If this is what you want to do then be welcome :-)

Harry Seldon · September 23, 2003, 08:53

I meant Moo2.

Damage control! Damage control! For my first action in office, I'd like to create the Minister of Spin...

Of course!

But if I remember correctly, it wasn´t Minister of Foregein affairs

bakalov · September 23, 2003, 09:51

Ahhh, ok, it seems that I missed something (may be the description of the MoA's role) , but anyway you are welcome :-)

Harry Seldon · September 23, 2003, 10:07

Now that you mention it, I thought the MoA was a combination of MoIA and MoFA.

Gilgamensch · September 23, 2003, 10:43

Exactly:

Minister of Affairs: Internal and External, meaning diplo, colonists etc...............

Gilgamensch · September 25, 2003, 03:17

Gent's,

I still wait for confirmation of vmxa1 and bakalov for the proposed position's. I just don't like that we would elect somebody and he wouldn't be around

Elections shall start Monday!

bakalov · September 25, 2003, 04:24

I shall be around, and vmxa too. He was on this (MOO1/2) forum when I joined and this was looong ago, and we probably will be here when there is no one else :-)

I'd prefer that someone else be the president, because this way more people will be involved in the game. I will be here in all cases.

Bakalov,

Harry is running for president, but you could still get the MoD. Vmxa1 hasn't responded yet

..............

bakalov · September 25, 2003, 07:38

If Vmxa does not want to be the MoD I think I can handle this ... We'll wait for his response till monday though :-)

Gilgamensch · September 25, 2003, 08:39

May I take your post as a nomination (in case vmxa1 doesn't respond)?

bakalov · September 25, 2003, 08:46

Ok, if vmxa does not respond you can take it.

Oh Oh!

I wanna be the Minister of Spin!

...by his use of the term "MOO" he was referring to the most recent and perfect game of the MoO series, MoO 2 seeing as MoO 3 doesn't really have any connection to the MoO dynasty.............

vmxa1 · September 25, 2003, 11:22

Sorry I was gone most of the day yesterday. Go ahead bakalov.

Gilgamensch · September 25, 2003, 11:33

By the way, we can have more than one person beng nominated for a position. That's why we will have elections

Harry Seldon · September 25, 2003, 11:41

Yah, it's no fun to win by default. I want ballot stuffing! I want mudslinging debates!

Old n Slow · September 25, 2003, 11:47

Personally, I think that mud is better slung with a side arm toss. If it is overhand and if the mud has too gooey a consistency, then there is the risk of premature slop, particularly on one’s self. Definitely sub optimal.

Gilgamensch · September 29, 2003, 04:01

Nomination is over, I'll open some election polls.
