Please Accept or Decline any nominations you receive.

Nominations are open

I nominate Padma.

I nominate Plexus and naervod.

(I haven't decided yet if I can accept.)

I second Padma :goodjob:

I Accept.

I accept

I second Plexus, naervod, and Padma.

Also, I nominate curufinwe.

Again, Curu get's a nomination... what has he done for culture that makes him so popular?

I also want to know that. I think we was Culture Leader a while back and Deputy in Term 3. But he's not active at all and as far as I know he hasn't posted in the Demogame in a while. It makes me wonder.

Yea... Well, best of luck to you in the upcoming elections, Sir. Naervod.

Good luck to you too, Plexus. In the event that FortyJ runs for President, I might very well become the Domestic Leader which would make you automatically become the Culture Leader. Well, we will see how this all plays out.
Merry Christmas (actually Christmas is an hour away)

It is with a heavy heart that I decline this nomination. :(

See this post (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=675467#post675467) in the Culture thread for details.

Congratulations Plexus, it looks like you have won the position, since I can only run for one position at a time and I have chosen to run for Domestic. I change my nomination to Decline.

Yay! Good luck on the domestic ticket, Naervod!

Thanks Plexus. Right now I've got it in the bag if no one else runs.
