[Lemmy]

Could you include the general job descriptions in your first post?

I'm also nominating myself for the Secretary of Factional Defense position.

/me likes the exploring bit...drawing all kinds of routes over screenshots

[Maniac]

General Secretary seems a nice job...

[Snowflake]

Does the General Secretary uses a secretary?

[Octavian X]

bah.

I will also announce my own candidacy for the General Secretary position.

[Snowflake]

Shouldn't you include Maniac as another candidate for the General Secretary position?

[Makahlua]

I'm thinking about the economic policies post, myself - could you explain 'makes 5 year plans' more?

[Octavian X]

I thought Maniac was compleamenting my amazing spelling abilities.

As for the five year plans, I'd assume it just means coming up with plans for energy allocation (ie 10% to econ, 20% to pysch, etc.)

[Nubclear]

I announce my candidacy for General Secretary.

[Maniac]

I thought Maniac was compleamenting my amazing spelling abilities.

I wasn't. I would like to announce my candidacy for General Secretary.

Does the General Secretary uses a secretary?

I presume. I guess it could be called Assistant General Secretary?? Do you perhaps want to apply for the job?

[Makahlua]

Well list me as a candidate for economic policies then

*starts plotting the forming of her own little region to retire as a governor to (as all good ministers should. ) *

[Drogue]

I have a couple of questions.

Can the General Secretary hold any other position, if it is mostly RP? Can, like the last game, an official also be a governor?

Put me down for Secretary of Foreign Affairs either way

[MrWhereItsAt]

I am tempted, despite my other enormous responsibilities, but need some time to think.

How long will this be here for, before polls?

[GeneralTacticus]

Put me down for Chairman of the Council of Ministers.

[Maniac]

If my constitutional proposal would be accepted, it would be like this:

Officials can be divided in four groups:
1. General Secretary
2. Politburo members and Judges
3. Chairman and all-union Secretaries
4. First Secretaries of Union Republics
It is not allowed to run for two positions in the same group. Nor is it allowed to combine the position of General Secretary with a position in group three or four. All other combinations are allowed.

So the General Secretary cannot have any executive position, except for the Politburo duties of possibly being Judge, and vetoing a decision (but that requires a majority of the entire (present) Politburo).
All-union Secretaries can also be First Secretaries of Union Republics.
