Even though I only registered for the demogame about two hours ago, I nominate myself for the position of Public Defender, since nobody else has been nominated. I'll probably need assistance if anything comes up. I think that this will be a good introduction to the demogame for me.

(BTW, I accept my nomination )

I second the nomination. Welcome, and Good luck!

Congratulations and welcome to the Demogame. I hope you find it as enjoyable to play as many of us have.

As far as receiving help goes... you'll likely get tons of it if something does come up. So much so in fact, that you'll probably have a hard time figuring out which help to pay attention to...

I would suggest that you familiarize yourself with the demogame constitution, particularly the portion which deals with the responsibilities of this position. Other than that, try to get involved as much as possible, and if you can attend a turn chat, do so.

Welcome aboard!
