Live Candidate Chat

[Falcon02]

Well, as Disorganizer proposed, I plan to organizer a candidate chat. Two Orders of business for preperation

A.) Which Positions should be included?

B.) What Time?

Disorganizer suggested that we only include the Presidential candidates and maybe the Demoestic.

I originally suggested 7:00 pm EST (24:00 GMT), but Eyrei can't make that, he can only make weekdays noon-2pm.

I plan to organize it by alloting a certian amount of time for each position's candidents to be asked questions. (i.e. give Presidential candidents 1 hour, and Domestic the next hour).

If things get to hecktic I may reserve the right to devoice everyone except candidates and voice people who want to speak by side requests. (however I neither want to do this, nor do I think it will be neccicary).

and dont forget to log the session ;-)

And it can be called The Inquisition!

 

[disorganizer]

well, but it should be in #demogame though. just for not taking too many chatrooms, and because its already prepared for moderation

Okay, I just retired from political work, and all of this talk of process is starting to get me all hot and bothered looking for a place to use my political capital.

How do I sign up? What do I need to do to be a CITIZEN?

 

[disorganizer]

read the thread http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21896

then register as a citizen in the registry and participate by voting and discussing, you may also go for a mandate at the moment!

 

[Shaitan]

And ask questions!

We Phoenatics love to talk about our great land.

That time is good for me.

 

[Shaitan]

I could make noon to 1 EST on the Java client.

 

[eyrei]

I can make it anytime during the normal workday, EST, but might have to leave suddenly since I am at work.

We could just start threads for these.....

 

[Chieftess]

For me, around 7-9 PM, give or take an hour.

23:00 PM-8:00 AM GST would be great for me.

I would think if all candidates utilized Shaitan's "The Inquisitors" thread and then laid out a basic platform as Eyrei suggested, it would streamline the live debate, where confirmation and short statements would be the meat of the debate.

 

[Falcon02]

Do we really need a "live" debate? or could we just continue to do this in the forums, like with the Inquisitors, any questions that people want to be asked, can be brought up there?

 

[Justus II]

I would prefer a forum-based debate, since most of the chat times discussed would be during my work hours. Also, it will allow everyone to see the answers more easily, a lot of people don't like reading through chat logs.

 

[disorganizer]

it was meant like a real-life debatte, where the candidates may also throw mud at each other to make it more intersting (hint)

That should be interesting.... seeing all of them throw mud at each other .

They can also throw chili, cheese, tomatoes, oranges, pasta, hamburgers, and also anything that is hard adn sharp .

I prefer throwing rigatoni. But I cook it al-dente so it still stings.
