MIC - Military/Expansion Council

[Kuciwalker]

EDIT: Sorry, I got the words "Imperial" and "Expansion" mixed up

This is my proposal:

If I am elected Imperial Expansion Minister, I will establish, on a so far temporary basis, a Military/Expansion Council to coordinate the Army with our expansion plans for the upcoming war with France. This will be headed by the Vice President, and will have the War Minister, UberKruX, and the Imperial Expansion Minister (undecided).

MIC?? What does that stand for???

[Kuciwalker]

oops

[Kingof the Apes]

Good idea.

Possibly the Science minister, to coordinate things with Military advisor?

[jdd2007]

excellent. this gives the VP some powers...

[Ninot]

good for VP powers.. and good for war-time (as we are in now). But will this role be kept in peacetime?

I only have one problem with it tho. It's (seems to be) just as usefull as the SMC and the IEM getting together in a chat.

What will be its proposed powers and purposes?

BTW, if it does have powers, its gotta be ammended to the constitution by a vote, right?

But, I can see this role being very usefull, especially in an environment like the one we are in now... wartime

Skywalker, always trying to secure more votes by promising useless "vapor" candy .

This office is unneeded, and it would be far better to merge the SMC into CTED (City Planner, IE, Public Works). After all, the SMC is going to need to talk to the City Planner just as much (if not more) than the Imperial Expansion Minister. This also prevents us from making what would be a useless office, and at the same time making the one we have stronger and more efficient.

I agree with Timeline. The last thing we need is more little councils

[Kuciwalker]

Actually, more councils is my idea. They could be two-person councils with the VP heading them. This really expands the power of the VP. They don't have any official powers - just like the CTED - so Constitutional amendments are unneeded. The MEC will end at the completion of the war, but might be resurrected if/when needed.

I disagree to the fact that we need more councils, all of us have been playing Civ 3 for some time, and probably ar old Civ 2 veterans as well. The point being we don´t need to debate every little issue, it would merely slow down the game.
Though it would add to the feel and flavour of just how democratic this game is.

[Kuciwalker]

I didn't say that we need more councils. It's meant to enhance the democratic part of the game, not gameplay. Just like parties.

by Skywalker:
IE can control the rest of the CTED. Moreover, I can dissolve the CTED, getting rid of that DIA bastion (after breaching the walls with my election), and set up a MIC - Military/Expansion Coucil.

The UFC are known for their anti power for the people policy. Skywalker forgets the CTED was voting for by the people, but will blatantly ignore their wishes by dissolving this so far efficient council in favor of one he can't even spell the name of or abbreviate properly. Good work Skywalker, shows alot of promise!

Furthermore, he is shamelessly showing us that he will simply use his position as a tool for his party, is this the kind of man you will vote for?

We want to build an efficient democracy, not a blundering bureaucracy. Keep what works trash what doesn't! Vote for Jonny and vote for better government!

[Kuciwalker]

CTED was voted for by the people? I though it was just created. If the people want it, I'll keep it. If they don't, I'll get rid of it. We haven't seen much of Jonny, so we don't know what the heck he would do.
