Got a polling problem here, CT? :lol:

oops, looks like I posted before the poll kicked in.

8 candidates, wow. Good luck everyone :D

Well, it's finally election time. Science has a decent field this term. Eight candidates. Some new, some old, some running for more than one job. I'm old in this game, yes, a veteran of DG1. However, I am not running for anything else this election. I could if I wanted to, but I am not. I am only running for Science because I feel I can steer this game in the correct direction. Please, use your vote wisely this election. Vote SaaM for experience and vision. Vote for me, because this is the only job I want and the only speech I'm giving.

SaaM

Vote SaaM for experience and vision.


I got experience too, but good luck all. You all are very good candidates....

Well I am only going for one election too, but I joined at the beginning of DG4.
I encourage the citizens to vote for someone only in one election, otherwise you may waste your vote.

And good luck to my other candidates.

Note that the threads now appear before polls. It's a wierd vbulletin feature. ;)

Anyway, this poll may need a run-off if the need arises due to the number of canidates.

there is a large number of 2-3 vote candidates, it seems there will have to be.

Dont forget we have almost 71 hours left...

I'm rooting for stuck as a mac :goodjob:

Go for the most experience! Vote for me! I was the original Science Leader from the first DG. I am running for Trade, but that was to try something new, aside from Science. I am dedicated to the Demogame when I have something to participate with. To let you know, the Science Department will never be idle while I am in its leader position.

Vote for expeirence, Vote for Civanator :).

yikes... this is a lot of competition. I've been around since term 3 DG 3, though i've lurked since near the beginning of DG2 (before i registered my account here).

This is the only election im running in. I think the first techs we research matters on how our start turns out, and ultimatly, the citizens are the ones who decide, but i think our best bet for most cases would be to research literature first thing, in order to get a tech monopoly and to have access to the Great Library.

I will go with SaaM

I'm rooting for stuck as a mack :goodjob:

:worship: Ye shall spell the name of the godly right, or the all powerful Jobs shall strike thee with his RDF*. :whipped:

Seriously, though, vote for SaaM.

*:RDF= Reality Distortion Field: an effect which leads the watcher of his keanote to think that what he says might be true...

Come on people vote Immo

Immortal is running for teh entire judiciary, one or more of which he will win.
Please vote for someone who actually wants the office.

Im not running for the entire judiciary, I dropped CJ today.

Paltry attempt at mudslinging.

Rik Meleet, people! Sorry Stuck.

My mistake. The entire Judiciary, Sans CJ, which the man one post above me will odds are win.

Error Corrected

WOOHOO!!! 2 votes! In yo face Abstain!

Looks like we're tied for 5th, Civ! :p

Heh. I'm beatin Abstain, and in my book that's a plus :D

Woohoo - I got a vote!!!!
Oh, that was me :(

I support Rik Meleet here, as he deserves to attain an office somewhere in the game.

WOOHOO!!! 2 votes! In yo face Abstain!
YOU DA MAN :lol: ;) i voted civanator i felt he deserved my sympathy when it looked like abstain may be taking a lead. ;)

YEEHAW 4 votes! I'm in 5th! Not dead last like usual ^^

Yea, 3 votes! :yeah:

So many good candidates, so little time to stuff the ballot box! I support Black Hole for Science. With a name like Black Hole, how could you vote for anyone else?

I voted for Stuck, because he knows what he is doing. ;)

Hey, at least you're beating Ralph Nader. almost 4.5%, now that ain't bad! ;)

Well, looks like I am losing all the races I am in.

Oh well, always next month...:D

Oh, and at least I am beating Nader too...:D

Vote for me! :goodjob:

It's a miracle! 6 votes! I'm tie for 4th!

*glares around*
All right, who abstained? That abstain could have been used to push me from 7th into equal 6th!!!

I think id rather be science minister at this point. :crazyeye:

4 more votes and I'll be tied for the lead :D

4 more votes and I'll be tied for the lead :D

Lets see, you have 7, and your leading opponent has 12. Are you sure you want to run for SCIENCE Minister? :mischief:

someelse voted

but I have a third supporter!

Im declining participation in this repoll.

And let me at this time express my disagreement with the entire repolling process as outlined in the relevent thread except in the case of a tie between candidates.

Because there's a double tie as of this post, there will be 4 canidates repolled.


TruckingPete 7 11.67%
Rik Meleet 11 18.33%
Stuck_As_a_Mac 11 18.33%
Civanator 7 11.67%


There still is time to vote, so things could change slightly.

Actually, since there is now a tie for 1st, only the first two need to move on to the runoff poll. Or, if Rik or SaaM ekes out a slim victory, we should live with it, consider it a lesson learned and move on.

Because Rik and Stuck broke out into a late lead (excluding Immortal), only 2 canidates will be repolled. For a while, it looked as if this would be a really tight race.

Thank you, Chieftess. :)

damnit, i thought i had it too. Closest I've been in an election since T3 in DG1
