Elector-General's Office

[YossarianLives]

I second all the nominations posted so far (I was going to nominate you RegentMan but you beat me to it!)

I also would like to nominate 2metra for leader and deputy. Also, if Caledorn really doesn't want the Chief Diplomat position, I'll put my own name in for consideration (don't really want it but we need someone to keep the messages moving along). While I'm at it, I'll also nominate Sommers for Chief Diplomat if he's interested, as I think he would be very good at it.

I would like to throw my hat into the ring again for Elector-General. Hopefully we'll have an election poll this time around...

Yeah, I think we definitely should have polls every time - even if there is no challenger. That would give our leadership an idea about their approval ratings.

Looks like this time we are going to have 2-3 candidates for every office - which is great - but likely also means that nobody may not receive majority first time. Same people being nominated for different jobs can also cause complex conditional voting dilemma, but I think we will sort it out.

I am leaving town soon, will be back Monday, hope it will not be too late for voting.

 

[Maga_R]

BTW, we are at war already and planning more war mongering soon - what about introducing Commander-in-Chief position? I would like to propose that and nominate 2metraninja

 

[Sommerswerd]

I second the nomination of 2metra as Commander-in-Chief

I cannot accept the Diplomat position right now. I was given more responsibility at work and I am planning a move to a different part of the country... this consumes my RL time. I cant imagine doing hour long chats as Diplomat, its impossible.

I suggest that EVERYONE (im looking at you old friend) send nice, sweetly worded PMs to Caledorn begging, ... YES THAT'S RIGHT I SAID BEGGING him to stay on as Diplomat because it's a thankless position... full of constant blame, scant appreciation and neverending, needless second-guessing. I remember (and regret) how I tortured Donsig on team Kaz with my constant undermining... but I learned from it.

Say it with me...

WE WANT CAL! WE WANT CAL! WE WANT CAL!

 

[Caledorn]

I second all nominations, including Yossarian as Chief Diplomat and 2metra as Commander-in-Chief (I like that title suggestion - good one, Maga ).

 

[Sommerswerd]

So you second my nomination of Caledorn as Diplomat??

Great so that's decided... done

 

[cav scout]

I think the proposed commander-in-chief position is a little ill-defined right now and probably unneccessary. As I see it the the team leader is already commander-in-chief. I want 2Metra to continue as team leader and our chief general.

That is VERY sneaky editing you did there, as what you wrote in your edit was certainly not present when I wrote what I did. Have you taken lessons from the ninja?

I'll promise I'll think about it.

 

[vranasm]

I don't really think Caledorn should step down from being chief of diplomats. For what I saw he does great job pulling all other teams by teeth (or something like that :-D not sure what would be the appropriate phrase in English ).

there was some misunderstanding in the other thread, but that is normal... maybe make it less personal next time (both of you cal and metra)

that's something I really try to avoid in the discussions about tech paths etc even if I know we did some... well let's be honest not so optimal decisions (which is clearly seen by the RB advantage they got over us with better optimized play... btw their capital was settle on bananas while i am at it :-D)

 

[2metraninja]

LOL, but their capital is making 125 bpt, where ours is making 200+ right now.

I believe their big advantage is mainly from them being EXP and us not. EXP is just very strong on normal speed. And our capitol so far from being at its maximum...

Also, we were greatly held back by the Zulu war. We just chatted with Bistrita yesterday about this. I will try to get that chat and post it.

 

[2metraninja]

Here it is:

Bistrita: we have so many to do
and so few hammers
and research

2metraninja: lol, RB are like 50% more points than us
Bistrita: yes
slow friking mansa
bad opening
neighbours who declare on us
2metraninja: damned Zulus
Bistrita: making us whip
2metraninja: we will deal with them
Bistrita: and research
techs
man
we would had planted
at least 3 cities
2metraninja: yes, like 5-6 more cities
way more
Bistrita: at least
i said
2metraninja: we have AGREED 5-6 spots
more like 7-8 cities maybe
damn
Bistrita: and capitol would have been size
16
burocracy
5 turn fatser
lana at size 13-14
with forge
NE
build
i think we would had got GLH too
so yeah zulu costed us at least
150 points
and not countimg
near 20 gold we pay every tunr
cause of them
war started like 30-40 turns ago?
so they costed us loads man
Bistrita: we dint gave up on that sugar spot
cities would have been bigger
loads of diferent things
2metraninja: now saying it like this, I realize how much it actually costed us

 

[vranasm]

I don't really think I want to discuss stronger RB opening and Zulu war here .

Aside from that it's kinda pointless now. Like we could change the fact that Spain DoWed us and not the other neighbor (which they probably had bigger chance anyway)

 

[2metraninja]

Yeah, it belongs in some other thread.

 

[tobiasn]

Cal, you should stay on. For realz. Maybe you and Yossa can share more responsibilities? Maybe you can delegate some more? But I hope you reconsider. Very mucho muchly. Kankjedubareforsettedååååååååååkomanigjen!!?

 

[Majic]

ka du styre me?

 

[Arkipeller]

Very mucho muchly. Kankjedubareforsettedååååååååååkomanigjen!!?

Ska e svare dæ på Ændalsdialekt kanskje?

Og jeg visste ikke at du også er norsk, Majic?

But alright, if I get the votes, I'll stay on. I wouldn't have left the team regardless, as I stated in the other thread.

Scandalnavians.

 

[tobiasn]

Yeah, as I read the CP thread I understood what it was all about. And on a serious and not-so-scandinavian-sounding note, I kinda understand your reaction, but I hope you don't confuse disagreement and distrust. As chief diplo person I gather one must convey stuff one don't necessarily agree with some of the time. Apart from one careless remark (norwegian "sleivete kommentar") I haven't seen one single comment that places any distrust on you Cal. So yeah we might want to vote on positions incl yours, but as Yossa and Sommers both signalled that they don't want it, I thing you're the only candidate.
