Gah!! Why cant I at least run uncontested?

Why would you want that, CG? It takes all the fun out of the election.

Besides, Peri hasn't even accepted yet. ;)

I nominate Sarevok.

Thanks for the nomination. I shall give it serious thought. However I would like to encourage people who have not held public office before to stand for election.

I second Peri, second Sarevok, and nominate Chieftess

all fine candidates, whom I believe will be up for the task :)

Edit: I also wish to nominate mr Falcon02

While Peri mulls this over, I would also like to nominate wlievens to this post.

Donovan Zoi: thank you very much for this nomination, but I'm afraid I must reject.

My studies are taking a heavy toll upon my spare time :-(

So I decline, though I am honoured!

I wish to nominate monsieur le President, Rik Meleet for Military Leader

come on! come on! thats ambition plainly shown. You cant be #1 ALL the time.

Now that im done with my scenario "The Great War" and finals are over, I can actually spend time doing this. Ill accept my nomination and Ill also second Peri.

Oh why not? I'll toss in a wildcard and accept.

I have decided to withdraw from this election and give my full support to Sarevok. He is a new player and has 2 artices on warfare published at CFC.
There is no question that CT would be an excellent Minister of Defence however I believe that Sarevok would bring fresh blood to the game and a new approach.
I urge all my fellow citizens to vote for Sarevok.

Vote Sarevok

It is unfortunate that one such as you has dropped out of the race for this office. I know you have your reasons for doing so. I thank you for your support and your statement. I hope indeed I can help to make the demogame more exciting and fun.

- Sarevok

Just like last term, I support Sarevok as well. His time has come! :D

I second CT. lets see what the supposed "dove" who ended up nearly giving us a conquest victory/massive corinary in DG2 can do when given the reigns of our troops

I will throw my support behind Sarevok. It's time to see a new Great Leader rise from the ranks in our Military Department. Charge, Sarevok! Lead us up that hill and we shall follow!
