I decided I'll run. I will just keep track of everything Domestic Minister here I come!

Well, since it's earlier in the game, I'll go ahead and usurp power by running for President.

I am sorry to have to bring this up, Octavian, but the President of the SP DG is given mod status on this forum. By the way the forums are set up, that means that person gets mod power to the ISDG sub forum (I do not think authorisation by Beta is required for access).

Could you either...

A: Assure us that you will not receive mod powers of this forum if you become President (let the VP have that), or...

B. Withdraw from running for this position.

I would prefer A. However, I would like the admins alerted to this before hand so that there is not for a moment even the hope of an appearance of potential for a problem. To paraphrase, it is the appearance of the potential for a problem that is worse than a real problem itself.

DOH! Good point nye. OctX - if you still want to go ahead and be Prez, I can certainly mod whatever you want, or if we find a VP then we can get the spellZ to them. Or maybe, if I don't need to ever play (at most once or twice and only on weekends), then I could be VP?

[Tassadar500]

Easy answer to this problem. Assign the powers to the DM or VP. The top two in the chain of command.

[Torkkeli]

I'll run for the Supreme Military Commander also.

C) Move the ISDG Forum so that the MOD power from this Forum does not carry over automatically.

[mrboo123]

I going to run for Foreign Affairs.

Is that possible without creating a new forum and moving all of the threads to it? Then you'd have to set up the permissions for that all over again too.

I have no idea.

[GodKing]

Oh heck - VP. Not that they have to do anything this term. Unless some newbee wants it. In which case I will gladly withdrawl.

I hate to say this Oct, but you will probably be better off to either not run or not accept the Mod Powers. Even if you never misuse your powers people will acuse you of it.

Just basing this on our history.

What the heck - I have some time, I'll nominate myself for Veep (the mostly looking pretty job ^_^ V

[Epistax]

I dunno I think for the first term, the foreign affairs is the most sitting pretty job. Won't even be any map trading (until possibly the very end).

Or you kidding? We start the game in contact with the Spamish.

This time, you might be mistaken... :wink:
