Official Nomination

[ZargonX]

I know this was discussed and essentially decided on back in the main forum, but I thought that for the benefit of our new members, as well as for the record, we should make this official.

All those in favor of appointing Jack_www as the first President of Legoland, say "aye." All opposed, "nay."

Zargon's response: Aye!

[redstar1]

I second the nomination as the founder to be first president. I also nominate Spiffor for Vice-president.

[Spiffor]

Aye !

[ZargonX]

Ah, I'll second that vice-presidential nomination for Spiffor as well! Though, while we're on the subject, how do you all feel we should handle elections and appointments? Do we want to do general concensus, or go by strict votes. Since we're a small team, I think discussion and general agreement should work out just fine.

[Spiffor]

ZargonX : I also think discussion should be enough, and polls should be used if no consensus can be found.

[ZargonX]

Spiffor: glad we're in agreement. I think that will be the most efficient method of getting things done.

As for other matters, I suppose we should also take the opportunity now to nominate for the other positions.

To recap, one more time, the ministerial positions (as I believe we all agreed on?)

Minister of the Interior
Defense Minister
Minister of Labor
Minister of Science/Budget

To begin, I'd like to officially nominate myself for the Minister of the Interior. I can put forth a campaign speech, if anyone wants one

[Spiffor]

I am honored to accept being the VP of the Legoland Team !

[Nimitz]

Are we going to have ambassidors if so I'd like to be the one to the Roleplaying team.

[Jack_www]

thanks for nominating me President of the Legoland team. I know that togather we can stand up against the war mongers and win the PTW demo game!!

[Jack_www]

Nimitz, you can be the ambassidor to RP team. I think it is a good idea to have ambassidors to the other teams.
How does anyone feel about having a foreign minister as well?

One thing about who ever will be the Abassidor to the Glory of War team. I would like to have someone in that possition that is very skilled diplomate and has a strong backbone, we need someone who will not cave in, even when our destruction seems near. Does anyone here feel like they are up to that??

[Jack_www]

about vice president

Spiffor I would like it very much if you could be the vp, but there might be a problem. Usually the main funiction of the vp is too play the game when the president is not there to play the game. So if you dont have ptw that might be a problem.

Also I think we should come up with a consitution for our team, so everyone knows how things will be runned. We dont need one that is 100 pages long, but simple and to the point. I know that you might say that this is uneccessary, but I am thinking into the future when problems might come up.

[ZargonX]

Jack: Good point about the VP. Though, I believe Spiffor said he should PTW sometime in the next week? But, if not, perhaps we should reconsider on purely practical grounds.

As for a Foreign Minister, I think that with ambassadors to each team, a Foreign Minister would be kind of redundant. If an ambassador has a problem, he can bring it to the team. No need to create an extra level of bueracracy.

As for an ambassador to the Glory of War... well, I was thinking that I might like to be the one to Gathering Storm, but I'd be willing to consider GW. The only thing is, I don't really know some of those people as well as the rest of you. Though, I suppose that could be advantageous...

[Jack_www]

Well for the Foreign Minister I was thinking that the person could keep track of all the deal we have with all other civs. They can make reports for the rest of us taken form info from ambassadors, and the Foreign Minister can be a ambassador to anther team too.
I dont know, I just like having one arround since most countries have one, and just wanted to do it for fun.
But if you guys dont want it I wont force it on you. Just ideas I have.

[ZargonX]

Oh, I hadn't thought of it in that context. That actually makes quite a bit of sense. Someone really should keep track of all the deals, and have the ambassadors report into them centrally. I stand corrected!

[Spiffor]

I don't have PtW, and I may not have it for a long time (this Infogrames m*******s just postponed its release in the UK to Dec. 6, and I deel they'll postpone it more )
So, being VP is currently impossible for me. I don't know what function to play... I'm not enough of a diplomat to be assigned to the Glory of War (I'm too straight to the point for diplomacy), so I might be budget + science minister if nobody else wants to.
