There are only three more citizens registered who haven't voted. THREE MORE VOTES POSSIBLE.

This is good.

so we did say that if this ends in a tie that the cabinet would vote on the president, right? i think we seriously need to consider this

when did i get charged with tallying the votes of cabinet members? lets get this figured out before we start sending emails of whos voting for who. We first need to see if this is acceptable to people first

Another tie.
I think H Tower would be a fair person to tally our votes.

I also agree that this is how the tie should be decided.

I see we are about to decide by a vote of the PolitBureau, as in a Soviet regime !
Another solution may be more democratic : why about a turning presidency (as that acts in EEC ?) : half a month Hydey, the other half DE ?
... up to the next tie at the 1st of december ?

Before they announce the result I would like to wish Darkness' Edge the best of luck.

I would also like to remind the Ministers that Many amazonian Virgins will be at the victory party should I win and you are all invited.

In the US, a Presidential election tie is sent to the Congress for resolution. It seems to me that the Cabinet is the closest thing we have to that.

Both candidates have indicated they would be satisfied with a vote by the November High Council. Let's get it done!

I think those votes should be cast privately by PM to BOTH H Tower and Cavebear (to eliminate any doubts of accuracy). Those 2 can then publish a results thread (which presumably would show identical results).

Any minister sending different votes to the 2 tally masters would lose their rights to Amazonian virgins and any other political plunder.

Let's try to get this done in the next 24 hours. We've already lost nearly a week...

Oops, I forgot that cavebear is a Nov. minister.

But with H Tower being a trusted Apolyton Jr. Admin (non-banning rod dvision),
it should be OK for him to handle it.

Well, if everyone's ok with this, and i really haven't heard otherwise, except for JCP, i guess all of the november ministers should PM or email me their votes.

The next question I have is, am I supposed to release who voted for who? or is that to be a secret kept in the vault for a period of time, say, the end of the term, or do the ministers want the vote out in the open?

Releasing the individual votes might cause hard feelings and should be kept secret, permanently. I think just announcing the winning candidate would be sufficient.

I'm totally cool with this being out in the open. If my candidate doesn't win, I feel confident I'd be able to work well with the one who did.

Heck, both candidates know full well that half the ppl don't prefer them.

I say, be a mensch -- stand up and be counted!!!

the poll is closed, it seems we're going to let the cabinet decide on who becomes president. Three cabinet members have already pm'ed or emailed me their votes. Still waiting on 123John321 and atomant



And the vote will remain sealed

So, no matter who wins, I think the entire High Council should all say we voted for them.

No, seriously, this arrangement is fine. We all know that H Tower is trustworthy.
