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.

Yours,
The Election Office

I wish to nominate the following people:

Chieftess, Peri, Bootstoots, and Zorven

i nominate CYC

Thanks CG. I really appreciate the vote of confidence. However I don't have the time to do justice to the position. :)

I accept my nomination.

Decline. I don't want to give Cyc any ideas with the current ruleset. :p

(translation - we need fresh blood. ;))

I understand CT ;)

I support our current president, Zorven

I Nominate my self for president

I support our current president Zorven.

I must decline, as I am running for another term in the FA position.

I support Zorven. keep up the good work

I second taylorray1. It's always nice to have fresh blood. :)

I nominate Rik Meleet and second Zorven

What, no one wants to nominate me? Hey, I've got experience. Been a term three pres twice. :D

Actually, I was thinking about it, and posted it in the wrong thread. ;) But, atleast you sort of self-nominated yourself...

(term3 donsig presidency... I think the people know by now...) Shall I start the honorary PI/CC? :p

As much as I'd like to nail CT again, :p I too, am Declining this nomination. My Demogame days are dwindling...

Thank you, ybbor. I love getting nominated for the Presidency, but haven't accepted one yet. :king: When you're ready to run, let me know and I'll nominate you.

I support Zorven as he did a smash up job and I loved his Chat summaries. I also support Rik as he deserves a second go now the the rules have shaken down a bit.

I need a debate between these two leaders so that I can decide who gets my vote.

Terminal, you have a nomination for Minister of Defense.

What's this, Sarevok? Are you trying to eliminate your competition? :D Actually I have already posted to that thread. (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?postid=1617083#post1617083)

Welcome Taylorray1.
I too shall support you. :)

I Decline. I've set my ambitions to T&T leader for term 3.

I sure hope I have a sizable competition in trade for a change! Good luck! :) (my other trade terms in DG1 and 2 were pretty much mostly uncontested)

Question to all candidates:

1. How often will you run turn chats?

2. What are your goals for Fanatica during your term? In other words, what do you want to accomplish during your term?

3. Why should I vote for you, and not that other candidate?

Thanks!

Question to all candidates:

1. How often will you run turn chats?

My current plan would be to run chats every 4 days, beginning on the 3rd.

2. What are your goals for Fanatica during your term? In other words, what do you want to accomplish during your term?

My main goal is to carry out the instructions of the Ministers and Governors to the best of my ability. But I also look carefully to make sure that those instructions are not a major setback for Fanatica. In such situations I would (and have) ended the chat.

3. Why should I vote for you, and not that other candidate?

I beleive I have demonstrated an ability to post timely schedules, Turn Chat Instruction Threads, game saves, chat logs, and detailed summaries. I have also been active in soliciting feedback on those areas of the game I control, and I believe I have been diligent about carrying out legal instructions and ending chats when in the best interest of Fanatica.

That is all truth, and I encourage all Fanaticans to Re-Elect our President, Zorven

Our Code of Laws says
B. The Executive Branch
1. Presidency
d. Is responsible for worker activities. I would like to get a position statement from the candidates on how they will apply this rule. IMHO we cannot have even nearly "complete" polls on how to manage our growing number of workers in detail. Alternatives I personally see are:
[list=1]
The presidency oversees all worker actions in detail (as decided in public polls/discussions).
The presidency is responsible for the global allocation of workers to the provinces and the new cities not yet part of a province (as decided in public polls/discussions).
The presidency may request workers from the provinces for tasks of national importance, e.g. build access roads to outlying regions, supporting the advance of our military, building colonies.
The individual province governors manage -- in close cooperation with the mayors and the government -- the workers in their province.
[/list=1] Do I have to tell you, that I am in favor of 2, 3, and 4 and against 1? ;)

I apologize for not responding to tao's question earlier - it has been a very busy week. But I thought I would answer anyway.

My plan to manage workers is to continue as I have in Term 2. I have posted worker updates and requests for feedback after nearly every turn chat. I have given the citizens and leaders the place and opportunity to discuss anything related to worker actions. I don't think there is any need for polls in general. There could be polls for specific actions if there is discussion that is contentious on a specific issue. Otherwise, I believe discussion is sufficient.
