Midwesterners Look Here

[ilikeverin]

Hmm, let's do it more informally than the South... none of that whereas stuff...

Who do we want to send to the Convention?

[Gustaf]

No idea...

...

Seriously, what are the restrictions? Office holders aren't allowed? Most of the people I would think of here are currently holding office. I guess Texasgurl or John Dibble perhaps? Please remind me if there are other eligible people out there...

[PBrunsel]

I vote that we send former President Gustaf to the Convention as our sole delegate.

I do not want to be a delegate though.

[Peter]

You get 2 delegates; I don't think there should be restrictions on present office holders. Neither Texasgurl nor John Dibble live within the Midwest Region.

[Gabu]

If I were Midwest governor, my choices would probably be Gustaf and Alcon.

[KEmperor]

Northeasterner walks in......

.....looks around.....

"Hi"

.....is kind of bored.....


Leaves......

[King]

WMS and Alcon, I say. WMS and Alcon!

[DanielX]

WMS and Alcon, I say. WMS and Alcon!

Words, mouth,  taken out of, my!!!!

[ilikeverin]

WMS is an abandoner

[Alcon]

I'd love to do this if you all want me to. It would be an honor to represent the midwestern region.

[King]

WMS is an abandoner

WMS supports a map that will double your population, I think you need him.

[ilikeverin]

Here are the possibilities, with notations:

Midwest
Alcon D SD ---
BRTD UL MN --- Not active enough in fantasy elections
Clay I IA --- See BRTD
Dabeav L MN --- Scary Libertarian Nah, see BRTD
English* D MN --- has a *
Fritz D MN --- Would be supremo excellente, but is not active
Gustaf AF MN --- Ex-president:
ILikeVerin FL MN --- [sarcasm]Quite obviously the best candidate for the job on the list[/sarcasm]
J-Mann AF KS --- Too much of a n00b, otherwise a solid choice
John EP IA --- "I say we do amendemtn that will bring Light to the forum and ban guy people"
Karl EP IA --- Too new, too inactive
Owl I ND --- Inactive
PBrunsel R IA --- Another soon-to-be-ex-barring-some-unforseen-thing-happening-president
Polkergeist I ND --- Not active enough
WMS AF NM --- Abandoner

[Gabu]

If you're not going to send yourself, I still think that Gustaf is the best choice, with WMS being a close runner-up, but I doubt you plan to go with WMS, so I'll go with Gustaf.

[ilikeverin]

If you're not going to send yourself,

I'm not sure if I am, though :S

I have ideas, but I feel like old blood (and other people have good ideas, too )

[ilikeverin]

Wait a sec... does the Midwest have one or two delegates to the convention?

[Gabu]

I'm not sure if I am, though :S

Well, I would say that there's nothing wrong with that.  Ernest decided to be one of the people to go from his region.

Wait a sec... does the Midwest have one or two delegates to the convention?

Two.  At least I think it's two.  Let me look it up.

[Akno21]

if you could convince Fritz to be active for a few weeks, he'd be a great choice. He's still alive and well, he posted on AFDNC forums last week.

[Gabu]

Two.  At least I think it's two.  Let me look it up.

Never mind; I just checked and it is actually just one.

[ilikeverin]

I just checked and it's two! (there was an amendement to it)

Hmm...

[Gabu]

I just checked and it's two! (there was an amendement to it)

Hmm...

Oh, well, there you go, then, back to the drawing board.

[minionofmidas]

It's 6-3-3-3-2. I guess everybody knows enough to know which regions have 6 and 2 delegates.

[WMS]

WMS is an abandoner

Yep. And that issue got me all the way to the Senate, much to my surprise.

[Platypus]

It's 6-3-3-3-2. I guess everybody knows enough to know which regions have 6 and 2 delegates.

thats not terribly different from the real US population, is it?

Oh yes it is.
Having a quick count of our region's seats in the House of Reps...(including one for DC)
84 NE- 97 ME -120 SE - 87 P - 38 MW
The Northeast is overrepresented on the Forum, so is the Midwest actually. The Southeast is underrepresented.

[Platypus]

4-5-6-4-4, if you round to closest 20.

you are right
