I would like to nominate Peri for this post since no one else has been put forward.:)

You can accept yourself, too. As a long-time Trade Leader, I second you. ;) <shameless plug>All canidates should look at my trade department threads in Demogames 1 and 2.</shameless plug>

Thanks Chieftess. I accept the nomination. I'll also read up on your trade department threads for the other Dgs.
:)

I also second Peri, he would do a fine Trade Leader.

Considering the good time I had in my short term as Trade Minister in T5 of DG1, I'll put forward my own self-nomination for myself.

And, in other news, I accept this nomination. :p

Why, I'll join in.

I nominate me and accept the nomination of me by me.

I nominate Chieftess (even though she's running for two things already)

I nominate 40J.

I Second 40J :)

~Vote CivGeneral for Military Leader~

I will Accept this nomination. Thank you Chieftess.

Are you decided, CT?

I'm going for two other posistions already, and I want to let someone have a chance at Trade for a change. ;)
