Term 1 President : The Great Experiment Begins

[DaveShack]

DaveShack steps up on a fallen log, looks over the assembled crowd, and says to himself "sure hope this works".

My fellow ... turns to aide and asks "What are we called?" to which the aide replies "we don't know that yet sir, just keep going" ... whatever we decide to call ourselves. I stand before you as we embark on this great experiment of organizing a "government" to say that I'm proud to lead our great -- um, nation, in building a new civilization which will stand the test of time. Mumbles, even if you selected me by taking a step back.

After our elections are done we can send out people a short distance in each direction to see what the surrounding land looks like, and then start planning our future. For now go on with your business, and choose your leaders wisely.

This brief message brought to you via my 2,000th post -- would have waited but didn't want to waste the commemorative edition.

To be updated with office information once the office has been organized.

Score in 2900 BC. We're dead last of the 4 civs we know, but this is not yet a cause for alarm given that the AIs start with a large advantage.

Congrats, DaveShack!

I'm looking forward to another productive first term!

[Black_Hole]

I agree that DZ would be an excellent Vice President

 

[Nobody]

[Black_Hole]

no blackheart, you mean nobody. not donovan, nobody

well if you want to get my support, first you shouldnt mix me up with blackheart

 

[Provolution]

For some odd reason, Black_hole and Blackheart are mixed up

 

[Chieftess]

And I thought CivRules and CivCube were confusing...

 

[blackheart]

I think nobody is a little schizophrenic...

But I'll nominate myself! Of course, I have no C3C so that may be a problem.

 

[DaveShack]

VP applications will be taken by PM, please include at least the following information:

• Do you support the alternative government experiment?
• What is the highest level you win on regularly?
• Are you willing and able to conduct play sessions in the event I'm not available?
  • If yes, what dates and times are you available?
• Do you think the Vice President should have specified, regular resopnsibilities?
• Are you planning to take on any other responsibilities this term?
• What qualities make you a better candidate than others who may apply?
• What do you think are your weaknesses, in the forum and in the game?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I am pleased to announce that Donovan Zoi is appointed to lead the Naming Office.

His consistent support of citizens rights and Demogame traditions, as well as proven record of hard work and dedication to the game, make him the perfect choice to handle this very important aspect of Demogame culture.

As one of his first tasks, I would like to ask DZ to name the naming office and organize its affairs. The naming office will oversee all citizen-originated naming activities, including both city and unit names. The head of the naming office may accept citizen volunteers and delegate subsets of the office's duties as needed.

So if Donovan is in naming does nobody become VP

I serve at the pleasure of the President.

That said, I would like to thank President DaveShack for granting me the responsibilty of bringing order to some of the intangibles of this game. The Notary of Names and Titles will open tomorrow morning, with a City Naming Order list coming once the elections have finished. I will also be consulting our Constitution for my exact duties, and will work hard to correct any conflicting laws that may exist regarding this office. I also plan to open a discussion thread for other ideas I have that I think would make the game more fun, but would require the public's support.

I have also noticed my name being thrown about as a possible Vice-Presidential candidate. While I am honored by the nominations, I had made a decision some time ago that my main focus of DG6 would be to work as a citizen to bring more information to the forums. I am not ruling out a possible run for office in the future, but first things first. Hopefully, the NNT is only the beginning.

Respectfully,

Donovan Zoi
Notary of Names and Titles

• Do you support the alternative government experiment?

Hmm, I am curious on why this question is being asked .

 

[DaveShack]

Hmm, I am curious on why this question is being asked .

If an answer is inconsistent with other publically available info then I would know something is fishy.

No bias on my part, if that's what you're worried about.
