Term 1 Nominations (except UN rep)

DaveShack · Feb 19, 2006, 10:37 AM

It doesn't make sense to have separate nomination threads for each office with so few offices and people, so let's do them here in one thread.

These are the nominations for "term 1". Tentatively the structure is as follows, all for 30 turns. If the government structure approval poll fails then we can always redo this. The most critical office to get nailed down is President / Turn Player, since the game may start very soon.

President / Turn Player
Foreign Minister
Information Officer

Nomad Bryce · Feb 19, 2006, 11:24 AM

Daveshack for President! I feel like I need a little button that says "Shack up with Dave"

Swissempire · Feb 19, 2006, 11:58 AM

I nominate Nomad Bryce for Foreign Minister, and Veera for Foeign Minister also. They both have qualities that make me want them as my FM!

Oh ya, and I nominate and Accept said nomination myself for Info Officer!

Theoden · Feb 19, 2006, 12:06 PM

I nominate Bengeance for Foreign Minister. I think he would be a good choice

I'll second DaveShack for President, and second Swissempire for Information Officer. I think y'all will do great. :-)

DaveShack · Feb 20, 2006, 06:58 PM

Thanks for all the nominations and seconds.

I've actually been considering a more back-seat role for this game, but will hold off a bit on deciding what to do. I'll definitely be unavailable from 3/4 to 3/12.

Nomad Bryce · Feb 21, 2006, 12:06 PM

Yay! I would love to run for Foreign Minister! I am HUGE on bargaining and negotiations. (But not on spelling, dont worry, I'll proofread offers we make) I have a knack for seeing whats beneficial, and whats not, and weighing the value of things that aren't directly comparable. I frequently play BUSINESS GAMES, and I would love to be placed in charge of our international business ventures, so that we may come out on top. I also have a knack for dealing with people! I am very amicable and have a tendency to take down peoples barriers. I am a negotiator, and I hate when people say things like "Don't compromise our safety, don't compromise our future" blah blah. Because that, my fellow innovians, is turning the word compromise into a dirty word. Compromise, when done at appropriate times, is the NUMBER ONE way to gain on the international scene. Lets face it, foreign affairs will make or break our technological supremecy. It will be an essential part of our nation to remain ahead of the competition, and if we make savvy business arrangements, I promise, Innovia will dominate the competition.

Bengeance · Feb 21, 2006, 05:57 PM

I appreciate the confidence that you guys have shown in me but I will yield the Foriegn Minister position in favor of Nomad Bryce who obviously is very enthusiastic about it.

Nomad Bryce · Feb 21, 2006, 06:29 PM

Ah! Bengeance, I don't want you to decline just to let me have the position! I really really like our team, and I would not be unhappy in the least if I didn't get the position! I really like the work you did in the ministry of interior and I think you'd make a great FM! I think with a team like this, we are in a win-win situation!

Nomad Bryce · Feb 21, 2006, 07:50 PM

Daveshack, do you think you are going to run for president? If you aren't, we'll need some other highly devoted candidates. Personally, I'd vote for Bengeance, Swiss, or Sigma for prez. We really need someone with devotion though.

Veera Anlai · Feb 21, 2006, 08:13 PM

**Laughs** Well, if it's competition you want Nomad Bryce, then I suppose I'll accept my nomination for Foreign Minister as well. I think a little debate about the issues at the beginning of the game could be healthy. :-)

Nomad Bryce · Feb 21, 2006, 08:34 PM

Debate about the issues? WHATS YOUR POSITION ON ABORTION! Rawr. You better be against Gay Marriage. Rawr. Lets debate the issues. Just making fun of real life issues. Abortion is a pretty serious matter and I don't know where I stand on it, but gay marriage, thats just silly. If we want to get married, thats our business.

DaveShack · Feb 21, 2006, 11:39 PM

I'm willing to run but will need someone to play turns for those dates mentioned above.

Bengeance · Feb 22, 2006, 06:28 AM

DaveShack, I'm more than willing to step up and play those turns for you.

NB, I'm not declining just to give you the position. I feel confident in my abilities to perform most tasks, it just so happens that negotiations with strangers may not be the task I'm best suited for. You obviously feel that you have a flair for it and I would not even want to risk putting my mediocre talent in the way of yours. Besides, it wouldn't hurt to have a bit more time to dedicate to the Ministry of the Interior. How else am I going to cover the world with cottages?

cIVpassIVe · Feb 22, 2006, 09:01 AM

I wouldn't nominate anyone new, just wanted to let everyone know I wholeheartedly support the individuals nominated for the first term.

DaveShack · Feb 23, 2006, 06:16 PM

OK, let's wrap this up. The official poll starter should now start some polls, unless there is someone who thinks we should wait any longer.

Theoden · Feb 24, 2006, 09:29 AM

It doesn't seem any more nominations are coming...

For the positions the following have been nominated and have accepted:

President: DaveShack
Foreign Minister: Veera Anlai, Nomad Bryce
Information Officer: Swissempire

So only the Foreign Minister needs a poll.
