wow, one day in hospital (don't worry, i'm fine again, just should try a healthier style of life. so hand me a beer, some fat burgers and a havanna mr.barkeeper!) and 3 new pages filled in the café. so here we go:
about running for a position: well, i haven't checked yet , who is running so far, but i guess i will paint some more landscapes, grow a mustache and will be running after we lost the big war and have an economic crisis ;-)
about st: i share locutus opinion on ds9, i really love the longterm political shifts fetaured there, for the same reason i didn't like the first seasons of voyager at all, that was just hopping from planet to planet with no longtime story at all. but of course i like the dr. one of the best st-characters ever. nevertheless that increased treatment of politics for several episodes already began somewhere in TNG. sometimes i think most of TNG and DS9 shouldn't be called StarTrek but "the fall and the rerise of the house of .. (what was worf's family name again? sorry)
btw, though i liked a lot of what came later, and i don't have any sympathy with the dominion, i really would have liked the dominion to quickly invade the alpha sector and put a dramatic end to ST just shortly after they first appeared. but of course they wouldn't have been able to make a lot of money from that. boy, what could i have done with all that time i spent watching startrek. perhaps playing some more ctp 
i only watched a fiew episodes of bab5, cause it didn't fit in my time shedule, when it was first shown on german tv, so i don't know, if the story is good, but i didn't like the graphics, i mean, computers are a good way nowadays to get great views for low costs, but they shouldn't explicitly try to look like computer graphics, if you know what i mean.
for neon evangelion, my opinion is of course biased, because i don't like mangas at all. but i had to watch some episodes when staying with some of my rpg-friends. i always wonder, why japanese mangamakers (i really love a lot of japanese "real" movies) always take the bible, the story of frankenstein and music from beethoven and wagner, (iirc the neon evangelion soundtrack featured a lot of bach as well) stuff it inside a cocktailmixer and whirl it till nothing makes any sense anymore. well, just my two cents.
about the impeachment of the server: i like the idea, but you have to remember who is really responsible, some people created that server, maybe something went wrong during their genetic and social creation, somebody was responsible for that and so on. so this leads to: IMPEACH GOD!
... hmm, maybe thats a postion i would like, where are the election threads again?

just don't forget that nominations end in 4 and a half hours!! I would certainly be looking forward to some contested executive positions!

how is it that a president running uncontested has more votes in that election than the three way election for judge?

Hey, Switzerland's got about 8 parties in its parliament. There's a big difference between a majority election where just one can win and a proportional election, where everybody gets seats according to the percentage of votes.
If e.g. I've got a majority election for just one executive position and three candidates, a left-wing, centrist and a right-wing one, I know that the left-wing one doesn't have a chance in my conservative canton, so I'm giving my vote to the centrist which is more suitable to me than the right-wing one. Otherwise the right-wing one might get elected with lets say 40% of the votes... do I make myself clear? (because it's actually quite late here...)

yeah, you are up pretty late tonight. i was just trying to say that your theory on voting kind of makes it impossible for any candidate who is losing to get back in the race. i'm sorry it came off a little harsh.

The court's being called to action quite a lot...
Dale's complaints have been answered and Martin's complaint is in public hearing now.
Please read the polling article's before posting one and when in doubt ask H Tower or me or any member of the court before doing so...

The CtP2DG CivGroup has 40 members. If even half of us would vote for CtPers in this month's edition of the Apolyton Hall of Fame, I'm sure we'd be able to get 2 or 3 CtPers in in no time (and at present 0 out of 43 HoFers are CtPers, so it's very much needed). Vote for CD, Wes, Nordicus, skorpion59, Harlan, Hex, IW, Martin, Peter, Pedrunn, all the CtPers you've grown to love!
Vote in the HoF now!
