[Zarn]

Chieftess has already accepted nomination for President I believe

I've just noticed and have thrown my support there, too.

 

[Chieftess]

I nominate DZ and his crazy size 12/20 plans! And also Zarn.

 

[BCLG100]

i nominate zarn, i heard he wanted to run here, ohwait CT nvm, errr and i'll throw my weighty support behind noldy and provo and sir donald.

 

[Provolution]

After due consideration, and the fact that many good candidates run for the Military Advisor, I decided to accept the nomination for Domestic Minister. I really like the FA job, and hope that by laying the base now, will make it easier for the next FA to have a better situation in office. However, I see that candidates are cautious about challenging the FA position as they may have considered me entrenched well into that position, and I think that is not healthy for democracy, so I will for the sake of the democracy game leave the Foreign Affairs position open.

I also considered the Military Advisor position, but since there are so many good candidates there, and that Rik Meleet and DZ are both thirsty for the position, I will let them go. I am also glad to see that Zarn will complete the creation of Zarnia, which will be a fully fledged province next term and will of course back his accepted nomination there. I will later present a program platform for the vision of the Domestic Ministry, by the closing of the nominations.

Beyond being a man of the people, meaning I will integrate your wishes in kind in the grand plan, I will also seek to improve certain features of Japanatica, now that we are in the smithing forge and about to let loose the dogs of war.

Based on these golden reasons, I accept.

 

[Gregski]

I support Provolution.

 

[Noldodan]

I hereby accept my nomination for the post of Domestic Affairs Minister. Unlike Provo there, I'm not good at speeches, so I'll cut myself off there before waxing eloquent.

 

[blackheart]

Before and after reading Provolution's grand speech, I wholeheartedly support his run for candidacy.

 

[Zarn]

I'll decline here, since I'm running for governor (of Zarnia) again, and it seems I have alot of support there.

A Request Of The Candidates

Can each of the candidates display a map of the current city placement sites here in this thread? I personally would like to see if you can make it a width of 800 pixels. That way no one has to scroll over to read the gargantuan text posted with it. It's easy to tell if it's 800 pixels, as the post with the map on it would be the same size as all the other posts with no map. Can you also turn the grid on?

The map can be posted as an attachment to your post, but that makes it a lot more difficult for you. If you want to post it to the upload server, and then post the image in your post, that would be fine. Good luck. The one with the best map gets my vote.

800 width would make the map crap. The names would be unreadable and everything would be so condensed it would well... just not be good. Here is an example

 

[Cyc]

That's fine for me. I know the map by heart, I don't need to read the names. Scrolling over on an oversized map is a pain in the ass. If you're not going to make your maps the above size, you just lost my vote, Blackheart.

 

[DaveShack]

Hmm, the names don't look all that scrunched to me.

Here are some more questions for the candidates:

1. In the map posted by Blackheart, how much of the unclaimed area do you think we need to acquire to get a comfortable lead in the game?

2. In this situation, which is more important, grabbing the most land we can, or focusing on specific high value locations?

3. How do you plan to handle requests for funds such as upgrades and cash rushes?

 

[Provolution]

Honorable Chief Justice and Honorable President, I will sum up questions at a later stage when I have more ample time, as I am about to wrap up another IRL deadline.

I will be back with a detailed answer within reasonable time.
