As much as I hated certain circumstances at the time (Tongue), I must say I loved Polnut's term as President. Everything was so much easier and less combative, especially with the major Parties all gone. True you had Nappy and the boys getting into fights and the usual nonsense but the game was peaceful in a way that it has not been since.

You're welcome. Wink



Also, a poll in which 41% disapprove of Nathan is entirely indicative of this poll being saturated by conservatives and trolls alike, and there are other trends for other Presidents that indicate the same. As such, I don't put much stock in these results.

I'd fully ignore the Napoleon result, as I'd bet that a good deal of the "disapprovals" are just disapproving of his general fact that he was Mercado.

Not really. Nappy's second term was god awfull.

For a while, it looked like he really wanted to be impeached and he went right up to the brink on that matter.

Yeah, but I was talking about Nathan. Napoleon was hated toward the end of his presidency (but still had enough electoral influence to beat me in an at-large special), but yes: looking at his numbers compared to Nathan's (who was in office all of one week to fill the remainder of Napoleon's term after he won that at-large special) is another indicator of wackery and a skewed voting pool.

Good Times! Tongue

I'm sorry but Averroes was one of the greatest presidents of all time!

He was active, but variably engaged. He was also rather disingenous at times. He was a member of the Senate when I started the Duke-Yankee Mental health bill debate, and posted an endorsement of the project. He also knew it was a blank sheet of paper when it began. However, upon becoming President he completely disengaged from the debate, only to come back at the end and veto it and blame his lack of engagement on the length. Which was of course bull sh..t because he had ample opportunity to state what he was willing to support and what he would not, whilst the bill was still a blank slate. Whether you agree with his actions or not, it is impossible to say that he placed a priority on this issue.

He also made it part of the Presidential agenda to abolish the Senate committees, and pushed for a Partisan Senate administration, both of which were the exclusive responsibility of the Senate. He also like so many other IRC regulars knew about Rimjob ahead of time and like the other Laborites who knew, preffered to blindside Marokai as opposed to giving their own President a heads up. Lastly, his plan for a post consolidation gov't plan was supplanted by Duke's approach.

He was probably good over all, but he was not the greatest, not by a longshot.

I still think Marokai is grossly unappreciated. I had the most fun during his presidency in this game than I have had in years. That was also the time of the original TPP, and that just added to the experience.

Indeed, I liked Maroduke a lot. Smiley Though Duke/Cincy was better.
