Sparta Command HQ

[Maniac]

Btw, we never finished the discussion on how to call our government officials.

For the turnplayer I think about everyone liked "Commander in Chief".
For the more organizational, bureaucratic "Alpha Talent-Second Function" tasks some options suggested were Secretary-General, Major-General, or Second-in-Command IIRC.
For the other members of the Joint Chief of Staffs (the minister-director positions) suggestions were to call them all Chiefs or Generals in their particular fields.

What to pick?

I have to say, even a Spartan can learn. He is actually starting to demand bribes from the Morgans politely.

And for Tassadar, is there something that isn't rated 5/5 on Morganlink Magazine?

Gaian planet wine. given the creepy crawlies in the batch they sent us we assumed it was an assassination attempt, the stuffs good once cooked though, and its rated 3.5/5.

Wow, it *is* muddy around here! Must be those mischievious Gaian formers changing the weather patterns again! Which reminds me, I better get back to shoveling those 50 tons of mud out of the Sparta Command parking lot. We've gotta have somewhere to park our immense legions of hovertanks, after all!

I thought you asked us to make your teritory more rainy? OK, we shall dry you out, so that there isn`t any more mud.

That would be mindworm larvae. This was not attempt to assasin you, wine is better when you put several larvae in it. It adds great aroma. But ofcourse you have to take them out before drinking or accidents happen.

Generals is better than Chiefs, but I prefer Captains, myself.

The C-in-C would be Colonel Maniac, or Colonel Jamski etc, the second-in-command would be Lt.Col. Skanky etc..

Then the people in charge of particular depts. would be Capts.

Hmm. We could do that in the beginning, and around MY 2140 when we have half the Planet, we could all rise in rank, like the Colonel wound end up a General, and so on, as we'd have to add ladders to the hierarchy to make things work with bigger and bigger amounts of soldiers.

[Skanky Burns]

I agree that the top rank initially should be Colonel, and ranks later in the game are open for discussion. And I quite like the position Jam gave me.

[Jamski]

What, Lt. Col. S. Burns?

Yeah, it sounds like a real soldier actually. Burns is such a military name.

Luke, on the other hand...

Captain of Industry?

Btw, Jamski, why do you never visit our Barracks?

I didn't forget to send you the password right?

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

Major Burns eats worms.

No offense Skanky.

[Kassiopeia]

Captain of Industry?

Captain of (War) Production, silly. Or maybe Captain of Supply Operations. "Industry" sounds so... Morganite. Yuck.

[Whoha]

Captain of the Military-Industrial Complex? nothing wrong with inflating titles.

Now now, James.

I, the Chairman of the People's Democratic Revolutionary Party of the Morgan Empire, would like to start a cultural exchange program.
We will build an embassy in your capital....complete with courses on how to shoot capitalists!

Well, I never thought of the Spartans as going in for long titles...

Anyway, given the non-miltiary nature of the position, the Spartans would likely give it a very mundane title, like Quartermaster or similar.
