Procedures for GS

[DeepO]

Very true... we need some kind of PR manager here... which falls under the diplo school, I guess

1. Election procedures: can we vote in any school, including those we don't belong to? What is the length of the term, start and end dates for the term?

Voting in polls - there's nothing to stop anyone on this team from voting in any poll they like, but I think that if everyone votes outside of their Schola then what is the purpose of the Schola in the first place?

What if we give two votes to scola members.
(if the subject belongs to their territory off-cousre, duh)

ASAP!!!

He could independent too (even better?).
I certainly wouldn't mind seeing FP come forward for this job

Heh... the issue has been resolved, it seems... no further Prez action needed. NYE, you get my full support as Prez, but remind me I will never vote on you for being the diplo head, we need someone who can, at certain times, asskiss his way into the best possible deal

Sorry. I thought I sent him a 'nice' PM. flash is a bit of a loose canon with a definite edge to him. He used to be known as Charmon1. Some of you may remember him.

/Edit. Here is an indication...

I prefer this thread

re the other matters. I am happy to watch you guys thrash things out. On 3 though...

Yes, there should be a mechanism for a vote of 'No Confidence' in the players, and maybe the Chiefs.

Beyond that there is bad behaviour of a grievous nature. Cheating, deceit within the team, betrayal of the team to outsiders... I can't think of anything else at the moment. These might be considered 'high crimes' and might merit banishment.

Yeah, I'm not too upset that he's not on our team, I think there is a decent probability he would betray us.

I know! I posed that question in this thread

[Meshelic]

I will vote no on flash on the team. no no no. I don't particularly want someone who is as immature as that on this team; it will not lead to good things....

As far as PR manager, I'm pretty sure that would fall under the Diplomacy Schola jurisdiction. And on top of that, I suppose that's another thing the Diplomats need to vote on besides their Chief; they need to vote on whether to have the Chief act as ambassador to EVERY nation, or to vote for another person to act as ambassador to 1/2 of more/less of the nations out there.

Although I am willing to bend both ways; I think although any ministers (chief I mean) should be allowed to voice their opinion (and have it be representative of general feelings amongst the GS), I also think that the head of the Diplomacy Schola, or Chief Diplomat I mean, should technically be the official representative of our team. Regardless of whether that's me or not (although I'm the only one running so far, c'mon someone run against me) I still think the duties of that post should be as sole representative of the whole nation, unless the Grand Poobah decides to make a speech to all the nations.

The Diplomats are here because they are not only for strategy and intelligence, but for representation of the nation. Otherwise our job would be dull.

The way I see it, is that with different representatives, at least everyone has some responsibility.
And so also feels usefull, wich is needed for a game that will take along time.
They have to feel comitted to the team.
If all someone has to do, is say 'yeay' or 'ney' every 6 weeks, boredom will set in very soon.

[alva]

forgot:

I don't think leaders( be it ministers or Poobah's ) should communicate to other teams directly. Except on very important occasion maybe.

Re: Flash: I knew I knew the guy, that thread with his identity crisis made me ROFL when I first read it. Nah, good thing he isn't on the team. Although, he could make things a bit more interesting

As to ambassadors: so far I don't think there will be a lot of candidates, but if wanted it would be a good idea to split the resonsibilities up. However, I strongly favor some kind of hierarchical structure, to avoid having the anarchy of the RPGers where everyone is his own king.

You're determined to force some kind of executive position on me, aren't you?
