Minister of War and Vice President Decision to make

[H Tower]

We have a government crisis and the game has not even started yet! No one is running for Minister of War and there will be no losers in any of the elections (unless a write in wins) to choose a fill in minister from. Admittedly the VP is only around to be a safeguard if the president dissapears and to make the elections for the next month, and his function can be easily be taken on by another member of the cabinet. I'm not trying to make the VP position seem worthless, however, the Mar Minister position is much more vital and having a minister perform both his normal duties in addition to the war ministry is too much. It is probably also too much to ask the president to perform that task too. So we need suggestions on what we can do to fill in the gap.

I consider these possible options:
1)Have the president ask for someone to volunteer
2)perhaps have ALL the cabinet members cover an area of the map on military options. example: science covers the southern quadrant, expansion the east, foriegn the west and city planner the north. Sort of a War cabinet.
3)The foriegn minister perform both duties, we aren't going to meet anyone very soon or have embassies that we can build yet.
4)The president performs the requirements of office.
5)Citizens make up plans based upon detailed map postings by the president with help from other ministers. (I volunteer to help post pictures)
6)???

6. Someone nominates themself in order to keep the Civ2 Demo game going.

/me puts up his hand as a nominee for SMC once again.

I may not want to be stuck in this as a permanent obligation, but I reckon I owe it to everyone, at least for one term.

I was just got to nominate you Mr.WIA.

Now about VP, the only reason why I would be gone for a while is, if the computer brakes.

I'd be happy to throw my hand up for either role, if no one else is interested.

So there is a solution.
In any case, what's a military planning in the beginning... I wait for colours arrows on the dark part of the map !
The world beeing discovered during playing, military advice is only the preview attitude in front of a hut or in contact with another civ (on a large or giga map, we may explore many turns before meeting other people ! )
without forgetting barbs, of course...
