Democracy in Action: A Governmental NRP

[Byrd Man]

It would. If we can get people in the key roles ( VP, Sec. State, Def, etc) and at least a few legislators I'd be up to having a high-ranking member of some federal agency like the Director of National Intelligence or the EPA.

Like I said earlier I'd be happy to play the Secretary of Defence. :)

[MrShoe]

Well since Thorgil is out we can hold elections now.

[Byrd Man]

Alright. Everyone who's still here and interested go ahead and sound off so I get an idea on how many votes to expect.

[Wernher]

I obviously vote for myself lol

[Byrd Man]

I figure we can do this secret ballot style, or out in the open to keep things nice and clean. Up to you guys.

[Rare]

Well Mr.Shoe is my pick. And I'll take the Vice President role.

[Byrd Man]

That's if Mr. Shoe wins. If Wernher wins he may not like having a VP who voted against him...

[Heyitsjiwon]

You know. Sec. of Homeland Security sounds awfully interesting now. That or the head of the House Rules Committee would be very interesting as well.

Yeah, you're right. I shall not vote because of my spot, that I'm going to be. Sorry both Shoe and Wernher.

[Byrd Man]

You should still vote. But just remember to choose carefully. Gotta play the game and remember this sagely proverb: Be careful of the toes you step on today because they may be connected to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow.

You're right, again I shall keep my vote for Shoe, either know Wernher will win most likely ;-; I shall risk it!

[Byrd Man]

Vote count so far:

Mr. Shoe 1
Wernher 1

[MrShoe]

Who voted for Wernher?

[Byrd Man]

He voted for himself, Rare voted for you, and you haven't voted yet.

[Byrd Man]

Here's a link to their answers for anyone needing read and decide who to vote for:

Wernher

Mr. Shoe

[MrShoe]

Oh, I didn't think that would actually count. I vote for myself.

[Byrd Man]

I went ahead and compiled a Supreme Court for use in the game. With both presidential candidates hovering around moderate, I compiled a moderate to liberal court.

Supreme Court

Current lineup, tenure, and political leanings:

Chief Justice Emmerson Finley (20 years), liberal
Samuel Irving (25 years), conservative
John Everard (22 years) liberal
William Jeffrey (19 years) moderate, slightly leaning liberal
Jessica Edison (15 years) moderately liberal
Robert Alberto (12 years) conservative
Miriam Humphrey (10 years) conservative
Jacob Jordan (8 years) liberal
Edna Dixon (2 years) moderate, slightly leaning conservative

How much they'll feature into the game, I'm not sure at this point, but I wanted my bases covered.

[The Nexerus]

I'll be joining the roleplay and voting firmly in favour of Wernher.

Secretary of the Treasury sounds like the role that would best fit me.
