Thank you to all those who have accepted positions so far. You’ve undertaken a journey which may be characterised by hardship, decorated with slings and arrows or may just turn out ot be a fly by night thing. Regardless you now have accepted a respsonsibility, and hopefully that won’t get in the way of much partying… \*\*Gun: \*\*you’re hereby appointed Chief in charge of putting down coups and uprisings. I’m sorry about racin going away too mate. ☹ **Ad Noctum:** I’ll offer you an espionage role so you can actually be a triple agent. It may get confusing who you’re actually working for but just remember that you’ll get a better salary and benefits here. Ssskuuugi and hyper for starters… \*\*Tripler: \*\* if Spoofe has no objections you can take the unclaimed armies. Lead them wisely and without fear. For fear leads to… **MikeG:** report to monster for your assignment. We were thinking special agent (with cool gadgets of course) or profiler. **Tristan:** you can be the Minister of Bumping. **FairyChatMom:** How could I have forgotten you?? Sheesh! Ambassador and diplomat? You got it! **Guinastasia:** I think we already have enough pretensiousness without adding to it with nobility but there IS a supreme court judge spare if you’re interested… \*\*adam yax: \*\* Your plea will be considered. Please provide us with a full and complete list of all your members so we can… um… cross-reference and make sure we’ve addressed your concerns. I still need a minister of Propaganda and health. Any takers? And don’t worry wyldelf. It didn’t actually hit you. Spoofe has initiated the NEW Star Wars defence program and we’re perfectly safe with star detroyers in orbit and force shields taking care of cow pies. ---

Just wanted to check in and state that I’m doing absolutely nothing. Just like a good VP should… I also want to reafirm the promise that I _will not_ run for the presidency after dpr’s term has expired. 😉 ---

now, to properly bump, I’m afraid you will have to fill out these forms in Triplicate, and operate this simple punch card device… In the meantime, if you can guess the number of Chads in this garbage bin, you can win a free toaster… ---

DRY: flirting is such an important part of the SDMB that you of course receive a very large budget. You can apply for a PA but they will have to submit an application (including photo) to the committe which will be made up of demo, and you and I. As for who you should flirt with first… well I’m not a boss who’s going to sit over your shoulder. I believe in you and your ability mate. Go with your instincts. Actually I need a treasurer to distribute the dopedollars. Any volunteers/suggestions? ---

Hey, as **Female Flrting Whatever** I need to get in on this committee. I need my own PA, too. Of course, I AM a PA, but I’m wearing a couple of hats here. I need a PA just to help me flirt. Don’t wanna slack on any of my duties here. ---

Feh. Your government is nothing but a house of cards built on a foundation of sand. I can topple it with the mere click of the mouse. Consider this to be the first threat to your little “nation”. [sup]Can you hear that? I’m banging my shoe on the table as I type.[/sup] ---

_shrugs_ Easy come, easy go… Hey UncleBeer, do you want to be Treasurer and weild even more executive power? You get to distribute DopeDollars and if you feel like it can even release a budget. Or not depending on the mood. And it’s not ‘my’ little nation: it’s ‘ours.’ ---

Actually, I could be bought off with the directorship of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. I think I’ve got _plenty_ of experience in those areas. ---
