Simle question, do we start nominations and possibly elections before the rules are ratified?

Yes -- go ahead and start (and fix it later)
No -- wait and make sure it doesn't need to be fixed
Abstain

This is a quickie, poll will only be open for 24 hours. I'm only bothering with it to make sure a mutiny won't develop if we do start. ;)

Well, I have no quarlms about starting the nominations early.

since the constitution base has been decided on and we just need to fix here and tweak there, i see no problem with starting early. we just need to decide on terms and stuff. you know: will the first term be shorter, when do we start terms, when will noms. go up, etc...

Yes! Yes! Start! Start! :rolleyes:

We will probably be breaking (or conveniently bending) some sort of rule this term anyway by having the off-nomination cycle anyway, so why stop there? I guess we can use "implied" election rules to get this thing going.

I hope we don't carry this mentality into the Civ4 game........

Oh, and don't worry, Dave. I promise not to start any mutiny. Just like everyone else, I am pretty blase about the whole thing too. PLAY BALL!

its not technically breaking the law, since the law hasn't been ratified yet ;)
