Almightyjosh, as much as I'd love to be president of two demogames, I'll have to reject. I'm not that good Civ2...

You don't have to be 'good' at the game to be President. There are plenty of people here to help with that.

In your case, though, you've already accepted the position for Foreign Affairs Advisor, so if you wanted to run for President, you would have to decline that position.

I humbly accept the nomination for Domestic Advisor. And if elected, I pledge to post polls. I hereby ask the Duke to PM me to explain how to post polls.

However, I am a text guy, not too swift with the pictures. And I prefer many small cities. You can be sure that will generally be presented as an option. Thus if I am elected, you others must all plan to vote to keep this world plan of scattered cities.

What do the A U D suffixes mean?

duke covered the meaning of the A U D letters and I added an explanation to the first post.

I have made a 'How To' thread for posting polls and added it to the Game Information Thread.

That got me thinking, so I have also made a 'How To' thread for uploading and attaching images in posts.

If anybody has any other 'How To' requests, please post them in the Needed Stuff thread.

Reading our Constitution to see what I've gotten myself into, I learned the Domestic Advisor is a very active behind-the-scenes position, much like the ancient Roman Republic's Urban Praetor - Governor of the City of Rome and environs. But not the Consul in the Hot Seat.

That is ok with me, but I'm surprised noone else wants the position. Anyone willing to read and post polls is welcome to nominate themself and run with me.

Is it possible to take this back? Not that I don't want to be the military advisor, which is quite a nice title. I'm leaving saturday morning and will be gone all next week and will therefore have a hard time visiting this forum, which would be necessary if there's an election I also see there are two more nominations for this post, so you wont lack nominations

I'd like to do this some other time though

Considering the fact that I barely know anything about anyone here I will not be voting. Otherwise how do I know that who Im voting for is some liberal pacifist queen and not a person of supreme natural leadership qualities, a burning desire to see his people thrive under the glourious nation, reforms in industry, more state control over public transport...

Ahhh! That would be why there is going to be a campaign thread.

And to get a good picture of people, you could always have a browse through peoples' posts in Off-Topic - you can get a good idea of the leftys-v-rightys there!

 

[duke o' york]

Duke sent me an e-mail this morning when the forum was down but didn't comment on whether there would be a separate campaign thread so I'm going to stick to my original plan of having the candidates post their manifestos in the polls for the relevant office. You can find out what people are like there.

Ainwood, shouldn't it be 129 days today? You know, until the mystery event that will change the lives of millions. Or two.

 

[duke o' york]

Right - I've now posted the polls for the moment. Duke said that he'll decide whether or not to run for President and post as soon as he can get back here, and with the other nominations unacknowledged, then Gary Nemo is automatically Domestic Advisor for the second term of the Fanatica government!
I'll post a poll for President if Duke wants to stand against civ1-addict but otherwise then we've got another landslide victory.
Please post your manifestos in the appropriate threads - ainwood has done his alreayd and it seems convincing - and vote for your chosen candidate. The polls will close on Tuesday morning (GMT) which should allow those Labor Day celebrations and voting. In the same weekend!

Sorry for the absence, but I must decline my nominations for exploration and foreign minister due to lack of time available at the moment

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

I'm declining any positions. So, we have two winners already!

The winners of these elections will take office on September 4th.
