Noldy and Zarn have tied for governor here. A runoff poll will be held lasting 2 days.
 
Well, if Noldy wins, he must chose between accepting Govenor or Domestic.
 
especially since Domestic Advisor is arguably a higher position.
Hopefully Noldodan will come and concede in one of the races.
 
It's 5 to 2 in favor of Noldy. It seems not that Noldy is wanted as gov, but I am not. If that is the case, I won't take the position, even if Noldy turns it down.

edit: Make that 6 to 2.
 
That is an improper assumption Zarn. You must consider the first poll when making your decision to resign from this race. Take a look at the third place contender (I haven't looked so if it's you this isn't a bash heh) and make sure you are content with them as our next governor should Noldodan resign and the third place contender is given the position.
 
I have to agree this runoff is pointless. If Noldodan does not want the domestic leader position, he should never have run for it, since it is one of the highest offices in the game. Since I don't think that is the case, I think we can close this whenever we hear for sure...
 
Noldodan has traditionally preferred the governorship, so who knows? I would keep it running until Noldy shows up.

This race is kind of like the ole Star Wars(Han Solo) vs. LOTR(elvish tendencies) debate, in DemoGame form. Just kidding, Japanatica.....please do not place your votes based on that criteria! ;)

I'm just saying that if he wins, I won't serve no matter what his decision. I just can't accept a position I didn't win.

But at this point, you very well could win. It's 6 - 5!
 
7-6.

I really don't think someone's winning one election means he shouldn't win two. Both elections were close, so I think that he has every right to win both. I certainly think he should win this one.

A good compromise would be to have Zarn run province two when its created. Chances are his city (Zarnia) would be in it, so that could be the capital of the province of the same name.

Don't get cocky (Han Solo line :yeah: ). He didn't win, yet.
 
This is a two day poll, so it doesn't matter if its 9-8 right now. And the fact is Noldodan is still not going to be here for this, since he's returning on the 31st (I think). So this still seems to be very unfair to him. I'll see if I can find his platform (if he posted it) and repost it here.

Not too interested in the compromise idea, eh? ;)

EDIT: Found it:

Unfortunately, I won’t be anywhere near a computer during the time that the election threads are up, so I have to campaign now, in this nomination thread. I have been Governor of 3 provinces in the past 3 Demogames, serving a total of 10 terms, a record unmatched by anyone in any office. So, I obviously have massive experience in the primary function of a Governor, preparing build queues for the province, and I have always submitted them well in advance of deadlines. But in the past I’ve been somewhat lacking when it comes to discussing the overall strategy of build queues. No more. As Governor of (Province #1), I shall make Citizen discussion the cornerstone of my administration. And now, I leave on vacation for the week. Good day.

So that's it. It may not be much, but its a strong case. No one knows the job better than him, and he's willing to take the people's opinion into account. That is why I believe he is fit for the job, and that is why I voted for him. Now, if someone who voted for Zarn could say why they did so...

And "he'll name the province Zarnia" or "he's the underdog." If you voted for someone for a reason like that you should be ashamed of yourself. :p

That 'compromise' is completely undemocratic (I can't believe I'm defending Democracy :eek: ). There have also been times where I couldn't run, because I was away, and would have been back in time.

I am not happy with you and your attacks. Stop the negative campaigning. This demogame isn't real life elections. Don't attack my voters. It is their decision to vote for me not yours. will forgive you for your comments, and I am glad you have brought up Noldy's stances; however, you must stop your anti-Zarn stuff now.
 
I wasn't being anti-Zarn. I was trying to say that people should vote for candidate's platforms, not for them because they're the underdog or because they have a different name in mind for the province. What the governor does goes beyond the election and beyond the province name, and I'm worried that people aren't voting for anything beyond that. I'm sorry if it seems negetive, but I have gained a lot of experiance in situations where negative campaigning is more common.

As for the compromise, that was just an idea. I was proposing it to everyone. Obviously the people would have to support it as much as you would for it to happen.

I'm sorry. Just post your platform and I'll try and shut up. :p

What I am for is in the nomination thread. It's still on the first page.
