Troll

Minister of Domestic Affairs
Nimrod

Minister of Infastructure and Foreign Affairs
Pave

Minister of Defence
Frozzy

Junior Judge (3 months)


this will close at the end of time (because that's how long it'll take to fill these positions)

[Nimrod]

Id say term X for the unknown

[Frozzy]

I am willing to continue the game. However, perhaps we could ask the court to postpone the game until such a time we can fill these positions, as per the constitution? In the mean time, we should "advertise", as it were, in the other major CtP forum, CtP-Multiplaying, so we can bring back some of the supposed 50-odd members.

[Pave]

Me MoIFA, me MoIFA again!

[checkMate]

I'm I still a judge?

[Method]

yea, i think we were elected (for 3 months) last term, weren't you?

[Frozzy]

I don't trust having my nomination by an ISer *inside joke*

I may as well take control of your safety, in defenCe.

[pacman]

a little question.
What do you have to do for these posts.
Like Junoir Judge. What is that.
And what is the job of the Minister of Infastructure and Foreign Affairs. I don't see what infrastructure has to do with foreign affairs.
and also the jobs of other posts.
Maybe I'll participate.

OSer frozzy, OS. sphereoid if you like....but anyways, i wouldn't recommend electing frozzy. he might mysteriously be eaten midway through the term

[Frozzy]

You still have to find me first

[Frozzy]

Besides, that IS was a typo.

[MrWhereItsAt]

OK, let's say I put my name down for something (or anyone else with absolutely minimal CtP experience), and, due to lack of competition, I "won". Then what? Would I be expected to make decent calls, to know what exactly to poll on and the options to make, any exploits/ clever tactics? Would anyone help me with this? Would the recriminations abound when I screwed up? What is the workload? Is this place full of absolutist Democrats or the Democrats who yell at you for making non-polled decisions?

I think you get the picture - I have plenty more questions where they came from if you like.

Forget about tactics. Give general options and if necessary specify in a later poll. I would be more than happy to aid you in anyway possible, and I am sure the same applies to the others. No one gives a crap if you screw up Workload is next to nothing the way we are at the moment.

[Nimrod]

I wouldnt worry about screwing up. The biggest problem will come from the most experienced players, if they ever show up, bickering about the course of action.

Workload? Depends. What position are you interested in? The president, when he plays the game, should ask his ministers what he feels needs addressed the most. They make a few polls and the citizens will debate it. Then the minister gives thier final orders. And the process starts again. Viola!
