I am a retired politician who has a long history of public service. I'm not campaigning for the leadership role, but I am throwing that skill out there.
|
I have to wonder if the skills at important for the roles rather than any actions the person may actually contribute. If that is the case then I am thinking I may be best as lead scientist... For what it is worth.

At equals are.

Hello, compatriots. Checking in for the evening.
Given the discussion, but lack of voting, I think I should emphasize my (incorrect?) understanding that these leadership positions and our D1 goal need to be decided tonight. |
Quote:
I could essentially have made this post, verbatim. I have law enforcement experience on Earth, and I doubt that there is anyone on this mission that would be better equipped to carry out the sometimes physical nature of enforcing whatever laws we decide upon than myself. That said, my record isn't perfect, and my physical capability can sometimes cloud higher-order processes. So I would implore the group to 1) focus on constructing government first, 2) electing me as sheriff, and 3) checking my enforcement of the rules we establish. |

Requoting and reordering the candidate list. Leader: Zinto, CrimsonFox, DanGarion, Grover, fontisian, Thomkal Scientist: timmae, Raven Engineer: Grover, CrimsonFox Sheriff: Shoveler, Thomkal, DanGarion, JAG, britrock88 Doctor: Autumn, Rum Project: government, biodome, scientific research center, medical center |
Leader - CrimsonFox
Scientist - timmae Engineer - Grover Sheriff - britrock88 Doctor - Autumn Project - Government |

Not much to reason among the candidates at this point; just making choices based on people whose work I am familiar with and avoiding multiple officeholders. |
I think the votes are due Tuesday night at 10pm est... right?

In case I didn't make myself clear, my talents lie best in a leadership role, though no doubt I could help with law enforcement as well. So I thank Mr. Crimson Fox for the nomination there. My primary concerns for us as a group continues to be safety-both in a physical sense-a sheriff chosen and people chosen to patrol the immediate area, and a survival sense-the biodome being constructed as quickly as possible. |

May I ask why or did I miss you stating the reason? |

Martial Law has been much needed at times in humanity's history Mr. Dangarion, and may be needed here depending on how events unfold. But no it would not be wise I feel for us to start out that way. |
Had a power outage today. Actually for 2 days. Squirrels chewed through wires. :( Caused our furnace and appliances not to work.
anyway fixed now. thankfully cause we're in the midst of a freezing snowstorm |
Quote:
thanks mr rock. i think i'd like ntndeacon to be nominated for doctor as well if he's got said skillz to pay the medical billz. |
Quote:
YES. Just rechecked the first page to clarify that Day Zero is tomorrow (rather than Day One). |
Well, then, let this just be the first time I've been a first voter and give me crap for that. :p

how cute, mr dan doesn't want mashall law on mars. there must be a punch line in here at least a song... When I fight authority, authority always wins... When I fight authority, authority always wins... |
Quote:
meaning our votes for positions yes? so the other stuff involving what we build affects day one or day zero? |
Quote:
I shot the....JUST KIDDING! |
Here is just a quick rundown on players past careers...
Autumn-Chief of Staff Zinto- CEO DanGarion- Leading Successful People? Grover- ISS Engineer Shoveler- Enforcing Justice? Timmae- Science Field? Thomkal- General Grover- Lived in Space? NTN- Medical Field? CF- Auto mechanic? Raven- Farmer Suicane- Politician Chief- ER Font- History Professor Brit- Law Enforcement Experience? |

:) He did pretty well as humanity's savior I think. |
Quote:
Nice work, Zinto. I was a police officer. |
I will state once again that I would be a very successful leader in these circumstances. I have the ability and the experience to help run a colony.

and I can fix your moonbuggy |

Yes |
Hi there, sexy FOFCers. ;)

so like, grover is a space monkey? |
Leader -
Scientist - Engineer - Sheriff - Doctor - Autumn Project - Biodome |
Quote:
Hahah I guess. Also, I have no idea if you are joking about being a mechanic or not so you got a question mark too! |
Quote:
I fought the law and the law won. |
So that I don't forget...
Scientist: timmae Sheriff: Thomkal Leader: CrimsonFox Doctor: ntndeacon Engineer: Grover Project: Pauly Sh--I mean Biodome |
Quote:
I wanted to hear from everyone if possible, as otherwise there are some folks that wouldn't be up for a vote, if it would be helpful. Schmidt and Danny haven't offered themselves anywhere, not sure if I missed anyone else. |
I voted for Autumn, because his experience as a chief of staff mirrors mine as a general very much I think. A lot of leadership skill, knowledge in many different fields, ability to discipline fairly when called for, etc. I would be looking to vote for people in the other areas with similar qualities as well. So I think it would helpful for those running for a position to be specific about what position(s) they held on Earth if at all possible.
QUESTION FOR EF: ARE WE ALLOWED TO VOTE FOR OURSELF FOR A POSITION? |
Lots of vagueness in those past careers. Many of them could mean anything... I thought we were settlers trying to create a new civilization here?
Suppose Thomkal (a military General?) becomes our leader, and Timmae (a "scientist") becomes our primary scientist. Then what do we become? A military space station? |
Quote:
Yes you may. |
At this point I'm inclined to vote timmae as Scientist, I like how he's dug into things so far and probably go for government given more support for that than research. Other than those, still undecided to this point.

I was a private investigator on Earth, a skill set that is likely more useful in a group of 21 colonists + 1 unknown stowaway. With this small of a group we most likely wont need your run of the mill speed trap enforcing police officer. The first order of business for our sheriff may be to identify this stowaway, and there is no one better suited for this task than myself. |
Quote:
i'd be okay with you being either leader or biodome altho i like britrock for biodome too as he threw a nice vote my way. I'm a sucker for my constituents. |
hahaha i mean sheriff, not biodome. hahaha Thomkal is SUCH a biodome.

I was a military (Army) general who lead during a time of war. I had to make difficult decisions that were not always popular, but I feel were the correct ones. I am retired now, thus not an active member of the military-so I would not be calling for a draft or martial law or something like that unless the situation here suddenly warranted it. I would not become a dictator if elected, but rather a leader of a democracy. |
Quote:
yes yes I am such a biodome :) |
Personal preference here, but I'm not much in favor or having our leader be influenced by past ties to big business, or to the military. Our resident History Professor is intriguing though.

Leader - Fontisian

So a man who has spent his life making military decisions, and telling others what to do, will suddenly allow others to make the decisions democratically? I'm not buying it. |
