NOMINATIONS FOR MARSHAL

[H Tower]

Well, FMK is gone for good it seems, and his proposed successor isn't willing, we need to start all over again. Nominate yourself for the position of Marshal. It really shouldn't be as hard of a job as people think, you need to have coordination skills more than anything else in my opinion. That and you need to be able to pick good commanders of the front.

I'd like to leave Henrik in charge when i go on spring break this next week. If only one person wants the job give it to him. If two want the job, hold a 3 day election. But that's just my opinion.

So nominate yourselves for marshal. I know there are several hopeful front commanders out there who were bragging about their skills at Red Front, step forward!

fmk is away? what a pity we had a carismatic leader.
I don't think I'm good enough to be marshall but guys, we need one soon!!

Are you sure FMK is u/s I would have thought he would post an apology if he was unavailable?

As I see it the Marsal will co-ordinate the game but not take moves, I think this is what is turning some people off. How about giving the marshall a small role say in managaging the partisans.

As for the front commanders please post your renewed interest here so we can see who is still activelty interested and the marshal should consider giving every vollenteer a command of some sort.

If within say 48 hours the person doesn't post their move its given to the nearest other commander. After a while i'm sure the numbers will drop but it would make selection fair rather than mate(s) of the Marshall.

Colwyn requests a command along the black sea cities.

[The ANZAC]

I mentioned I would like to control the north-west front near Kalinin, etc.

I will nominate myself for marshal BUT ONLY if no one more qualified can be found. And I'm only doing make sure the Democracy game doesn't die

Edit: we could institute the CEC as I suggested in the main thread and that might help deal with this better.

I've talked with him personally, he has completely given up on civ

How about NOT? this thread is for nominating marshals, when we have one he can select from those who have already said they are willing.

All the sudden you're in charge?

H, a lot of us are shocked/surprised that FMK would absent himself so suddenly. He had been one of the major driving forces (if not THE major force) in getting this game started.

I don't want to see the game die, but I am in no way qualified to be more than a citizen at this point. In any event, if YOU are in charge, or modding this game in any event, please say so. Otherwise people will start interjecting suggestions like Colwyn did, and I'm doing now.

Right now I'm pretty confused as to where the game goes next.

none more so than I

In any event, if YOU are in charge, or modding this game in any event, please say so.

While I am mod, I would expect anyone else to respond the same way I did. Threadjacking

Otherwise people will start interjecting suggestions like Colwyn did, and I'm doing now.

i thought we had already figured out how play was going to go. why change it before it has even begun?

[Colwyn]

Not so comradely HT

I was just posting my views no need to attack me over it and get worked up about so called "thread jacking".

I agree with 3000yo there was confusion and a comment made by you re going too. As people will read that post I wanted to show that I was still commited to help out and thought it would be helpfull for people to show their continued support in the game in the same thread as all the bad news.

I had no idea that you were any more snr in this project than the rest of us.

i don't like to bethought of as above anyone else, but it seems people have put me up there. remember this thread where everyone was talking about how FMK and I got this game off the ground? http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=80405

I'm not attacking you, I'm just a bit peeved right now that FMK walked out on us. so let me apologize, I didn't mean to take it out on you.

[Ben Kenobi]

HTower-

We accepted you as mod, so if anybody has problems, they've had their chance to discuss them.

As for FMK?

I'll say that I'm still active, still enjoying civ2. I want to get a crack at this game, which is why I volunteered for one of the fronts.

I'll go wherever the Marshal puts me, though I do not feel qualified to take on the position myself, especially since I have never played 'RED FRONT' before.

[The ANZAC]

I throw my hat into the ring only as a last resort if no marshal can be found.

H Tower: would you be willing to take up the marshalship? I would support you and help with anything you need to make things run more smoothly

[H Tower]

normally I would volunteer for the position, even though I have little to no experience with the scenario, but I'm leaving for spring break tommorow afternoon and will be gone for 9 days, not returning until the 30th

[Dr. Nick]

Fabulous, well, is this supposed to be representative of Stalin's shock?

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

If we have a Marshal or many Generals with little/no experience with the scenario, we could be in trouble. We have to do a lot of selling and rushbuying in the right places, and husband the units you do have so that they're not wiped out in the initial German attack. At least, that's the approach I took after my earliest RF games went VERY badly

I don't want to deter anyone from nominating themselves, but I for one would like to see a steady hand to guide us during the early part of the game. I'd like to see a Marshal who could give advice/tips to front commanders who seek it. I'd like to see a Marshal who has been successful at RF, so when we're getting creamed (and we will at the start), he can offer meaningful suggestions as to how to recover the situation.

My 2 cents. As I stated, I have played RF before, but haven't finished it, so I am by no means qualified to be Marshal.

Perhaps the nominees could give us an idea of their RF experience... or how they will approach the role?

@H - I know you have put a lot into this game. We're all readjusting here, and I didn't mean to come across as trying to challenge you. My apologies.

[Colwyn]

Glad no one was sent to the Gulags!

Thanks for the update and clarification HT, i'm glad your only gone for 9 days (I thought spring break mean't all of spring!)

I propose HT as the Mashall and whoever he thinks should be his dep when he's away esp if Henrik's not availablea(not determined yet)

As for the marshal's experience I think we will manage if we have some experienced stavka reps offering advice to the marshal. This could be what Anzec, I and others offer in additional support. Maybe this would cover some of Y2000mans valid points.

I have played and done a lot of Mod work with Redfront including creating a RF1.5 (much harder) so I'm happy to take on some responsibilities if so selected by the marshall.
