Well, it's long overdue. I have been content running things (but not so content with EVERYthing ), but in mid Jan I am overseas for a month and unable to play. Thus, we need a new President, VP, and Ministers.
Play has been very slow when we have had turnchats recently, and that is because EVERYTHING has to have been discussed in chat before carrying out. This is difficult, and play would be much sped up if the Ministers (or even a concerned citizen) spent a little time examining the save and planning for the next 5-6 turns. Then, if the orders/ideas are posted ahead of any chat, they can be discussed and refined, meaning that everything can go much more smoothly in the chat. Unseen circumstances can always crop up, but there are always predictable elements to plan ahead for eg workers.
At this early stage, we have little enough that it would not take too long to plan a few steps ahead. I have done this in some cases, but the President cannot cover FAM, military, Domestic Matters and colonisation alone. We need Ministers/posting citizens able to spend a scant hour or two per week planning, posting and responding to posts. You don't even need to be in the chat if the orders are there!
This is the perfect time, before all the others come rushing back from holidays - act now and grab yourself some of the fun. You might just learn something about civ too
Nominations are for all positions and will close around Jan 5. I leave Jan 12, so we must have a new Government by then! As ever I am friendly and approachable so if there are any questions, ideas or concerns that you don't feel like posting publically, please feel welcome to PM me. If you feel like you could take on responsibility for something smaller than one of these positions, maybe one city, let me know and we can always create a position for you
