Term 4 Nominations

[Jayne]

I accept my nomination for Science Advisor

 

[GenMarshall]

I accept my nomination for Military Advisor. Hmm... Time to move my Imperialism mod off of Civ2 .

 

[Rout]

I accept the science advisor nomination, but will NOT serve both Sci and foreign, I will abdicate one in the event of getting both (like thats goin to happen )

 

[Octavian X]

I'm rather disappointed that I wasn't nominated to serve as some sort of perpetual Vice President...

Aw, heck, I'll run for the presidency (again), and accept the newspaper nomination...

 

[Serutan]

I fear that I will have to resign my Governor's position starting
with the first turn of the new administration (i.e. I will stay on
through the end of this week). So if anyone is interested in
the Boreum job, let it be known.

 

[GaryNemo]

Arghh. Our two governors, very qualified, one heading to the top, the other may resign. I was hoping many others would come forward for Domestic Advisor. It's a fun job, really.

I throw my hat in the ring. I accept my nomination for Domestic.

Let's here it! "F4 in Term 4!" Louder! Filler, Filler, FILLER!

If I win, my office in Regia Civitas will be taking applications for governor as soon as the election is completed. Citizens that disagree with me are welcome to apply. I am principally interested that you show interest in our Land of NUF, and have posted some ideas. Oh, and for now, let's extend Chrshe Province to include what may become a Forth Province.

I have just come across a very interesting book, "The Peter Principle". Should I reread it?

 

[MonkE]

Thank you GaryNemo. I accept the nomination for President. It could be a tough campaign, though, because I must run against the ever-popular Dell19.

 

[Dell19]

Don't forget the doughnut king!

Thanks Duke I accept.

Up against some tough competition though


Runs off to think up a catchy campaign slogan

 

[GaryNemo]

Reviewing the list of Candidates, I see many distinguished individuals, some new possibilities, and even some unknowns. You Citizens who post, you can not all win.

Take Dell19, MonkE and Jayne, for example. You know I respect each of you very highly, yet am likely to vote for MonkE. He has given us excellent plans, and deserves an elected position. Regarding doughnuts, I'd like to eat one right now!

If I am the elected Domestic Advisor, I hope many of you step forward and offer yourselves for Governor positions, via PM or ICQ if you wish. I am thinking of a new way to Govern the Provinces, which I'll outline now since our duke has declined to run elections for these positions. We are playing two turns per week, which is good, but a frantic pace.

I will appoint a pool of Governors. When the new turn thread is posted, any one of you may post that you will handle a particular Province. That way, I'm hoping we can have analysis and polling promptly, without so much uncertainty due to everyone's busy schedules. Comments?

 

[Jayne]

I like this idea - unless anyone strongly wants to have their own province. A mixture maybe?

How about having the residents of the provinces post as governors? (kind of a local government/council). The place of residence you post would have to be constant - no changing to vote all over the place.
Obviously we may need to spread out the residencies over time as the civ expands, but it would give people a limited say in how their 'local area' was ran.
It also should be limited to non-advisors, but to keep numbers up this may not be possible.

 

[Leowind]

Back after an extende absence over the weekend, and I'm nominated for President That'll teach me to leave town I am deeply touched someone thinks me worthy of running our glorious nation, but as there are other very-qualified candidates and my free time is measured in minutes not hours, I will respectfully decline this time around. I also noted I was NOT nominated for Science Advisor again , which is actually fine by me . MonkE mentioned some interest in that position, and even though he has accepted some other nominations, I would like to nominate him for Science Advisor.

I may consider doing some Governor work when I have a better idea of how much work it might entail...

 

[Elsaak]

The idea of belonging to a single Province is quite ambigous :
that's right that, as in the real democraty, the power is closer to the commun citizens, but we are in an open game, that's mean that people like me, who didn't contribute a lot, won't be able to give there opinion for others Provinces decision....
This solutions is not very participative....

Polls for every one, elections only for residents, OK...?

This seems a good idea, and I am willing to be part of
the pool. May I suggest that we require that a person
who wants to do the Governor's duties for a particular
turn claim that duty in the turn thread, to prevent possible
duplicate threads for the same province?
