    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    Director Branch

    All directors will have to post their general strategies in the 'office' thread. This will outline possible situations where the commissioner can not ask for orders from the directors but will have to act on the general orders.

    Directors must poll all major decisions, such as deciding what science advance to pursue, what to build in a city, or where to place the workers in a particular city. However, they can act on minor decisions without polling the people, such as what to do in the event of a mindworm attack.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    Director of Peacekeeping Operations:
    Has the right of:
    *Starting polls to ask the people what there wishes are in his area
    *Ordering the commissioner to move military units
    *Ordering the commissioner to design military new units, disband old military units and upgrade current military units.
    *Advising any other part of the government
    *Requesting buildings and military units with the Director of buildings productions.
    *Polling Planetary Council decisions on Atrocity Bans

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Director of Foreign Affairs

    Has the right of:
    *Starting polls to ask the people what there wishes are in his area
    *Ordering the commissioner on talks with foreign factions
    *Advising any other part of the government
    *Polling on Planetary Election and Supreme Leader decisions

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Director of Energy and Industry:

    Has the right of:
    *Starting polls to ask the people what there wishes are in his area
    *Ordering the commissioner to rushbuild, use money in trades, change worker placements, and move crawlers
    *Advising any other part of the government
    *Requesting crawlers and buildings with the Director of buildings productions.

    Article II: Government Policy

    Playing ahead:
    No person is allowed to play ahead to:
    *Gain information about foreign factions

    No person is allowed to play ahead for any reason.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Article III: Polls

    Elections:

    No-confidence votes

    * The word abstain is hereby stricken from the constitution, and replaced with the term 'xenobanana'. This replaces the abstain option in all official polls and elections. This then follows the time-honored precedent where a banana vote signifies disagreement with all choices on offer, or, to put it more negatively, a no-confidence vote in the poll or candidate being voted on.


    Official polls:

    Poll:
    *Xenobanana
    *Write-in-option
    *Minimum of 3 days
    *Minimum of 2 days
    *Maximum of 7 days
    *Clear and not biased question and answers

    Unofficial:

    May be started by all members of the faction. They are purely information gathering polls

    Poll:
    *Minimum of 3 days

    First Post:
    *Expire date (if any)
    *Link to discussion thread (if any)
    14
    Yes
    78.57%
    11
    No
    21.43%
    3
    Abstain
    0.00%
    0

    The poll is expired.

      That's already in the constitution - I'm not adding it, nor am I removing it. It's only listed here because I'm making changes in that section of the constitution.

      The issue's been raised, and I'll probably put it in a future amendment. Or, someone else can get off their butt and write their own amendment.

                well, i don't imagine bananas grow on chiron, so we'd have to prepare them synthetically. besides we already have synthmetal and stuff
