That why I say vote in a thread.

Match up the post vs citizenship, then count the vote.

It takes me 5 seconds to vote.

Sample post:

"I vote for Harmony Party"

You are done.

As opposed to I have to send a PM to three or four people.

Lets say I spell one login name wrong, what happens then when only two of three judges get my vote? What if only one of three get my vote?

Like I said if you guys want some convoluted PM system to vote then I wont be the election judge (even though the president should), simple as that. Its gonna take way to much time and aggravation for me and I have already expended my quota of aggravation in this PBEM.

And quite frankly we are doing this because of a cheater, and I dont waste my time on cheaters, because they aint worth it. Thats my opinion and I aint changing it. And I aint discussing this topic any further either. (Cheating that is)

Enough said, I told you guys what I want to do, its simple easy and to the point.

If the group wants to do something else fine, Im just NOT going to be one of the election judges then, simple as that.

There was some discussion that my position should be in charge of the election earllier.

So I just wanted to make my position clear on this issue.

In either case since convoluted and cumbersome seems to be what people want I suggest you all reach a conclusion on HOW exactly the election shall be done and WHO (plural) is going to administer it.

The April turn is starting shortly and not only do we have to do elections but we then have to form a coalition governement, and you all know how long that took last time.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

First of all, I clearly prefer emails over PM, because an email is easier to send to four people than PM (you need to send 4 PMs). Second, the system IMHO should be agreed by Emugod, Ben Kenobi and PinkyGen. I've no problem with posting in a thread (in fact, it's easier) but some people could complain about privacy.

I don't know what is the best solution... I'd like to see a deal between the three parties, because it's a MAJOR issue.

OK lets try this:

We have an election thread that you can vote in. Its simple you just post in that thread which party you vote for.

If an individual is concerned about privacy they send an email to the three or four "election judges" you have to have at least one judge from each party. You post in the thread that you have emailed your vote.

The only people that are eligable to vote are persons that are on the official party list of the three parties.

At the close of the election the "head Judge" tabulates the posted and the emailed votes and then posts them in the election thread.

The other judges then post either concurrance or non concurrance with the results in the election thread.

The Election thread is ONLY for:

1. Announcing the election with a brief description of how it works.
2. Posting your vote.
3. Posting that you emailed your vote.
4. The Head Judges results
5. Concurrance or non concurrance from the other judges.
6. If non concurrance repeat steps 4 and 5 until concurrance (unanimous) or the election results are declared invalid.
7. Any posts not filling one of these requirements is deleated by one of the mini mods.

I am calling for a KNESSET vote on this topic!

For the first six months in game time, here is the Knesset based on the memberlists in the Party Threads of our three parties:

Lets hope we can get all the Knesset members to vote this time.

I like the mixing of the two system's. I vote yes.

I assume judges are appointed by the parties. If we adopt this system, I'll be the judge for One Israel. Centre and Harmony should select their judges, but please be quick. And make sure your e-mail is posted!!!

Con pointed out to me over AIM that since he is President, he should probably be the 4th "Head Judge."

Correct but it is a Presidential responsibility, not a conmcb25 responsibility.

So whomever is Pres next would also do that.

But thats the next step. Lets get the resolution passed and if someone else has an idea we can talk about it then.

But with reps from all parties it makes it kind of hard to do "Chicago Style" politics.

Sorry for the delay.

I don't want the job. I understand the desire to count votes, to make sure that no one votes twice, but I don't like the implication of guilt. We should trust the people who vote on our polls, otherwise I see little reason to have polls.

Position of leader of the Harmony party will also be up for anyone interested, because of personal problems that I am sorting through make me a poor candidate for the job at this point in time.

So please anyone interested should post in the party thread.

As for this vote, I vote nay. I thank you for the compliment in asking me to count the votes, but no thank you.

Ok two for and one against although Im not sure BK understood.

BK if you check back here you dont have to count votes, just someone in your party.

We are voting on whether this ia an OK propoasal or not.

Well if he cant check back then we have to count the vote as a nay.

I wonder where Center Party is.

I'm going to have to vote "no" unless the part about only people who are members of parties being eligible to vote is removed. We got two new members who never joined a party. Accoridng to this proposal they cannot vote which is unfair, as they specifically requested to join.

Emu just pointed this out to me on AIM, I must have missed it the first time reading. I think this has to go, you need not be in a party to vote. In fact, it seems silly to hold elections if only party men can vote.

It should be you must be a member of the demo-group to vote.

Can we change it to that.

Good point.

But I assumed all the demo group members were in a party but that is probably a wrong assumption.

I say Emu votes no and the proposal is defeated.

Next up whoever wants to figure out how to hold elections.

Now if Emu would have voted yes as long as we agreed to change that one word to Demo Game CIVGROUP members then we would have had something to work with.

Wake me up if we ever have elections. I have already over-expended my allocation of energy and time to this election.

Members of the civgroup is good enough, IMHO.

Emu voted no because of the requirement you needed to be a member of a party. Since you agreed to waive that requirement he may very now vote yes.

I hereby ask to Emugod to re-vote, now that Con and I have agreed that being in the demo-group suffices for eligibility in voting.

Also, Stalin II has yet to vote.

Once the proposal is already in the voting stages, it is too late to change it. Also, I cannot change my vote unless the entire proposal is re-posted with the appropriate changes so that there is no confusion for anyone.

I am going to give it a day or two before I get the election thread going. To give Harmony a chance to figure out who will lead them in BK's absence.

In the meantime if you want to get electioneering threads up to promote your party platforms go ahead.
