These are the powers and traditional duties of the Executive branch:

The Leader of the Executive Branch is the President.
The Deputy of the Presidency is the Vice President.
The Vice President assumes all powers and responsibilities of the Presidency during the absence of the President.
May initiate Administrative, Legislative, Mobilization and Spot Council Votes.
Casts a tie-breaking vote in Council Votes.
Organizes decisions on what to do with Great Leaders.
Organizes worker activities.
Has veto power over Legislative Council Votes (votes on Standards).
Organizes policy, plans and agendas for departments when these have not been set by a department.
Organizes policy, plans and agendas for items and activities that have not been defined as a task of an individual department or leader.

The President is also at the top of the Chain of Command, and so will be responsible for playing the game whenever available.

Please Accept or Decline any nominations you receive.

Donovan Zoi
May 26, 2003, 01:05 PM
Thank you, Rik Meleet. :D

I will accept the nomination for President.

As President, I plan to:

1. Involve everyone in the game as much as possible. Newcomers to the DemoGame can always expect a response from me. Also, I will encourage debate on all of our issues.

2. Hold all leaders accountable for the office they hold. Gaining office is more than just the prestige of having it; there is work involved as well.

3. Stay involved in every aspect of the game. Look at the Citizens Forum during term 1 and you see that I have participated in almost every thread. This will only increase if I am elected President.

There are aspects of the actual game as well, so as DP look for me to:

4. Found more cities. We are trailing all of our rivals in cities founded, and have only one settler in our queues! That is not a good sign.

5. Quickly claim our borders against Egypt and America. If we don't get the hills that separate us from Egypt, we are missing a great strategic opportunity.

6. Connect the Iron now! We are a nation of warriors and it shows, because that is all we have militarily. We should not wait 15 turns for Gorina to build a Temple. We should colonize the Iron just outside its borders now.


That should do for starters. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to address them here and I will answer them.

A special note to those just visiting(and casting votes) from other forums, including the RPG:

You may have been invited here by someone, but please think about your vote and consider supporting a candidate that has proven his dedication to Fanatica's future. Just as in RL, an uninformed vote undermines everything a democracy strives to achieve.

Donovan Zoi for President

Please give me voice so that all shall be heard.

Wow, so many supporters :).

Hmm, DZ is doing his Debate Thingy.

As President I will welcome any newcommers that arive to our game and help them get accomidated. I will make sure that we have conqured Egypt and the Americas. I will push for greater cities and better Infrastructure. I will ensure that we have secured the lands from Egypt and the Americas.

As President, I will make sure that we have addequet defenses and land for our people to settle in

Jade Commando General, CivGeneral for President

Yeah great, what time is that GMT, so those of us NOT in the US can work it out please?

Donovan Zoi
May 26, 2003, 07:26 PM
About an hour from now, AJ. Usually, GMT is 5 hours later than EST, but there is some daylight savings time alteration that I am not so certain about.

So how come no one posted the debate chat log? A little bit too much information for the masses?
