[Donovan Zoi]

I enthusiastically second Peri for this position. I also nominate Ravensfire.

 

[Sarevok]

I will also enthusiastically third Peri

 

[ybbor]

[Strider]

I'll second CivGeneral

 

[GenMarshall]

I will be willing to accept my nomination

 

[Sarevok]

is Peri going to accept?

 

[Chieftess]

I accept my future nomination by Peri.

 

[Peri]

I nominate CT for this position and decline my nomination because I won't have the time to do the position justice. However Chieftess will make a first rate leader of this department. She is a sound strategist and excellent tactician.

 

[Sarevok]

in that case I support CT, my former deputy.

CG, don't forget to erase every trace of your fleet-footed acceptance of the Berry nomination, now that you have changed your mind again.

DZ's pet peeve #3: people who edit posts to remove the obvious.

I already removed my acceptance to that election

 

[Sarevok]

I sense i missed something rather large. I will not ask about it as I already have a hint of what it is considering who was involved.

 

[Sarevok]

Alright, Im going to ask the candidates a few questions concerning this department. This is unofficial, and I expect Ravensfire or someone equivalent to do the formal one.

1. How would you organize Fanatica's armed forces at this point?

2. Who is our greatest threat, and what should be done about them?

3. Do you advocate war, or is it a last resort?

4. If Faced with a 2-front war, lets say... Egypt and Babylon, how would you conduct your operations in this war in order to win?

5. What armed category is your primary area where you would want to develop? (Cavalry, Artillery, Infantry, Sea) How would you use these units?

6. From a militaristic point of view, what is the main thing that Fanatica needs?
