Delegates

[Wise Ass]

Well, I know that IW was considering running for my position so if he will accept I would gladly have him as my delegate.

Thanks Pedrunn. I may spare you the executioner’s axe when I’m King.

Jee thanks Pedrunn, you managed to pick all ministers, a judge and even some citizens before me

I think judges should be able to appoint delegates so we don't have the problem with Gilgamensch in Term 1 re-appering.

If everyone agrees, then I wish to appoint Devil of Truth as my delegate, pending his acceptance.

I would have chosen H Tower, had he not been leaving us, but I think Devil of Truth will do just as fine a job.

There's nothing in the con that allows judges to appoint delegates and it wasn't meant that way either. In my term as senior justice I won't accept it.
Judges are elected for 3 months for the simple reason to have some consistency in the court (I can't see no other) - delegates can cause the court to swing around all the time. Furthermore - the court doesn't have to act as fast as ministers.
If someone doesn't have the time to act as judge - especially be ready to be present a lot as senior justice (no vacation during that month!) then he shouldn't take the office.

As we are playing a Democracy game, in the future shouldn't the Delegate be elected with the President and the Ministers when we are voting for the various positions.

For example, someone presenting himself to be president shoud indicate who he would name as delegate if he is elected.

Thanks Frozzy. I’m honoured.

However, I have already been deputised by Ãskallin and his ministry of infrastructure; I’m also on Pedrunn’s list; and now I’m seconding you. There is nothing in the connie regarding delegates and they merely serve a "what if" purpose – but what if I have to serve both the court and the ministry of infrastructure? Mapfi, any thoughts here?

When Locutus asked me to be his delegate I was thinking about if I'm really allowed to. However the con describes delegates pretty clear and it doesn't say that it's a government office. It's not that clear to me so I also accepted hoping to provoke a case if someone didn't agree. It seems like everybody is fine with this.
As I said, the con only allows delegates for executive officers. Judges can not have delegates for good reasons. I don't think that someone running for office has to announce his delegates bindingly in advance. It would be preferrable if he did so though. Anyway, they should be chosen wisely by the ministers. After all - they are the ones responsible for their delegates' actions! So actually, I think Pedrunn shouldn't make such a list - after all, his delegate is going to be playing the game.

[Pedrunn]

I have updated my delegate list!

[J Bytheway]

Thanks for the confidence you seem to have in me.

[HuangShang]

just repost it on this page next time people.......

[Pedrunn]

Several lists in this thread can make things confused, I rather edit.
In case you want to know how i edited:

-Everyone dropped a position except mapfi so that J Bytheway could be the second of it. And in which was above Locutus now is below Iskallin!

J, we all know you deserved. Several of my delegates were in the cht but you were the one who keep up.

[Pedrunn]

uploaded the list for the last chat

mrbaggins is the third delegate now. Iskallins is out and Locutus gets way down!

My delegates for term 3 of MoDA (and greatful thanks to Locutus for a better form of delegation)

I appoint, in priority:

Turambar
Tamerliin
Martin Gühmann

for my delegates this term.

They shall have all the powers that I as Minister of Domestic Affairs have, including the power to appoint delegates.

This power only applies:
* during turnchats where I myself am absent;
* during periods of announced absense;
* during periods of unannounced absence longer than 36 hours.

If none of these situations occur, my delegates will not have any ministerial powers on the areas of my position.

I do not expect absences to make delegation necessary, but acknowledge that unforseen events can happen. I think this shall, as in Locutus' delegation, hopefully remove questions of proper delegation, especially during turn chats.
