---

Anyway, I'll directly announce my candidacy for Prime Function.
If in three days not all positions are filled, I'd suggest holding multiple positions is allowed.

/me rages helplessly across the Tasman again, yet is oddly comforted by the thought we will soon have a position known as DAD.

[GeoModder]

I go for one of the internal slots. DAD or IAF.

Further more, to confuse outsiders with acronyms and inside clarification, I propose to name the IAF, CIA (Consciousness Internal Affairs and for the fellow office in PUT, I suggest PUB (Planetary University Bureau)

Could be fun to watch members of other factions comment on titles in our signatories like PUB, CIA and MAF.

'Ok, guys, time to go to the PUB.'
I can't, CIA is taking all my time.'
A what, just leave that to the MAF.

[Drogue]

I'll go for Foreign Affairs. Although tempted with Military Affairs. If someone particularly wants one of them, I'll take the other. If not then put me down for Foreign Affairs.

[Archaic]

May I suggest for Foreign Affairs, "Human Affairs Liaison"?

Now if only I could think of an appropriate name for the "DAD" position, with a good abbreviation....

[Maniac]

Updated with Drogue and Geo.

Lets guess for what postion I am gonna run for. Count me in.
BTW HAL function for diplomacy?

It would make other factions confused at least.

[Drogue]

It's funny, but I'd be against it for RP reasons. logic dictates a logical system, and one whereby all officials are "xxxxxx Function" is logical.

What are the names for our and PUTs islands? Should we also have a function in charge of former PEACE colonies? Then it could be like governors. They would all be "[name of territory] Governing Function"s.

[Archaic]

Yes, but we've been lied to, just like HAL, ne? It's confusing the department's logic subroutines.

The PUT island was never really named.

[Illuminatus]

Hmm - governing function sounds nice

I agree about a consistent "function" naming system when it's about the Consciousness. However not when we're talking about naming new PUT government positions. The CPU federation of PUT and CyCon is one between equally valued partners. Due to no other active PUTers besides Archaic, much of the actions are in reality decided by cyborgs, but at least in roleplay there should IMHO remain an autonomous PUT regional government, and we shouldn't call the guy responsible for PUT domestic affairs a "governing function", as that indicates we would have taken over complete control in a hostile way and appointed our own men.

What are the names for our and PUTs islands?

"Trantor" for CC main continent with Apolyton Prime on it. And IIRC "Solaris" for the southern part of our continent, which is seperated from Trantor by the Boolean Bay.
Perhaps PUT's island could be called "Campus Island"?

[Archaic]

Campus Island? Bah, too plain. Perhaps.....Alecrast? ^^;

I don't think it means hostile. It means equal, since it's named the same as the governoing funtion of our island. However I do see your point. We could allow PUT members (or just Archaic) to decide? However Foreign Affairs is not a PUT position. Also, remember we are not one government, effectively one nation. CyCons can run for PUT positions, and vice versa. We are unified. Therefore one system would seem logical, for all of them. I don't see a distinction between PUT positions/members and CyCon positions/members, since we're all one government.

Alecrast is better, IMHO. I'd go for Alecrast Governing Function, but I'd say let PUT decide. Or vote for it. Or let the first inhabitant of the position decide.

And that's supposed to be my slot
I still suggest PUB (Planetary University Bureau). Would hate to feel like a DAD to all those Alecrast inhabitants

And for CC lands. Are they already named in the beginning? Otherwise I suggest 'Centrus' for the main body, Solaris looks ok, and let's call the former PEACE territoria 'Aquaria'

[Illuminatus]

Just a minor suggestion - change the name of 3D editor function to informations function.
