No, he is the only one sofar to express an interest in the job.

If there are no other candidates I suggest we give it to him

No, it isn't.

Just fill me in on the responsibilities of the job and I'd be happy to take it if you want.

you get to advocate warlike plans if you feel they are justified, your responsible for the making sure that are units are at least close to being modern, and if the AI takes one of our cities, your the one who is responsible. Well, thats how I look at it anyways

What he means is:

[cavebear]

First of all, I mean no offense whatever to DinoDoc, who may be a skilled player and perfect for the job. Or not, as I know nothing about him, good or bad. Far be it from me to discourage any Citizen, new or old, from volunteering for higher office and public service

Second, doesn't the President usually fill vacancies, or we at least get to vote on candidates?

I am asking about this only because the President is supposed to implement the recommendations of the Ministers, and I have no sense of DinoDoc's knowledge of our gameplan or what he might recommend. Plus, I don't want us to step on Presidential toes.

If President Hydey would express his opinion on this subject, it would be helpful (and something more illuminative than "f*ck off" would be everlastingly appreciated).

But if President Hydey does not deal with the Minister of War vacancy, then I hope the VP will post an election poll to settle the matter.

Do we *have* a VP? Darkess's Edge retired from politics. Does that make ixnay the VP? Or does President Hydey choose someone?

The administration of the game seems to be a bit "unsettled" at the moment.

Sorry, I didn't know. I just heard that the position was vacant and offered my name for consideration not knowing how people were chosen around here.

It's limited at best. Hence the questions about what you expected a War minister to do since we are going for a non-aggressive victory.

No problem, I heartily welcome your willingness to serve, and I am glad you have joined our game. I'm just asking the question in general terms and your offer happens to be an example of a specific question we really should resolve.

We tend to reslove questions as they arise, rather than trying to have a detailed set of rules ahead of time. Personally, I enjoy the discussion when these questions arise.

It's not personal. We actually encourage new people to become Ministers after posting and seeing how the game works. My concern is for letting the President have the rights the position has had in the past and I don't want to seem to be taking things away that the President has done in the past.

Is Hydey sober enough to decide this?

Looking at hist posts lately I would say we've elected a second Boris Jeltsin

I agree. President Hydey's comments so far have varied between nasty and bizarre.

You aint seen nothing yet.

I would have no problem of Dinodoc as SMC

As for VP, I would hope Darkness'edge would reconsider and fill that roll but if not perhaps Ixnay could help us out.

Clearly and succinctly stated, Hydey.

Hoping your RL allows a game session soon.
