Role of Non-ministers

[CiverDan]

What role will non-ministers have?

Trip, please clarify please.

First, let me ask: are there any non-ministers? Or better put: are there any members not in Office?

[WarriorPoet]

I firmly believe that non-ministers should form advisory councils under the ministers.

Each ministry will perhaps determine how it opperates. If I am voted in by majority as a minister, then I'd expect to have no less than three advisors. Not only will these individuals assist in my absence, but they will also allow me to gather more insight into my decisions. As the game advances, each ministry will most likely end up parcelling out control of regions and/or sub-functions.

In short, I foresee all team members having at least one job function.

Also, to add to BFM's questions:

Will ministers be allowed to serve as advisors to other ministries?

[Jon Shafer]

Senate and unofficial council. Some for of advisory cabinet for each ministry will most likely be established at some point, and most of the discussion will go on here in the forum, which will give our ministers an idea on what they need to do.

[WarriorPoet]

Good, hope we get the leadership firmed up soon...

[BigFurryMonster]

Let's see how it goes and evaluate after 50 turns or so.

Ministers should appoint their own personal advisors..

[WarriorPoet]

Yes, as soon as the ministers are chosen one of their first tasks should be choosing their advisors.
