Minister of Domestic Affairs
Nimrod

Minister of Infastructure and Foreign Affairs
Pave

Minister of Defence
Frozzy

Junior Judge (3 months)

Nimrod · July 6, 2003, 17:23

Id say term X for the unknown

Frozzy · July 6, 2003, 19:31

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 · July 7, 2003, 06:59

Me MoIFA, me MoIFA again!

checkMate · July 8, 2003, 19:30

I'm I still a judge?

Method · July 8, 2003, 21:14

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

Frozzy · July 8, 2003, 22:11

I don't trust having my nomination by an ISer

*inside joke*

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

pacman · July 9, 2003, 03:16

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.

Frozzy · July 9, 2003, 04:11

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 · July 9, 2003, 17:11

You still have to find me first

Frozzy · July 9, 2003, 17:36

Besides, that IS was a typo.

MrWhereItsAt · July 10, 2003, 09:26

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 · July 10, 2003, 21:55

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!

Method · July 10, 2003, 22:09

having been involved with about a gillion demogames already, i think MWIA knows how they work, just that this one in particular runs differently than any others i've seen, in that there's only about 5 people playing

all games are different so i think his questions are about the intricacies of this one specifically

Grandpa Troll · July 11, 2003, 21:33

Looks like fun, although I have never played. I am willing to learn! Let me know?

Peace

Grandpa Troll

Frozzy · July 11, 2003, 21:41

Troll! We could use an experienced hand like you

There is an FAQ here( http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=73783), but I'll give you a brief run down:

We all work as a democracy, like in Real Life (US, UK, Canada etc.) with our own constitution. These postions are the Government positions.

The President physically plays the turn and moves the men etc. He takes "orders" from the Ministers (Defence, Infrastructure and Foreign Affairs, and Domestic Affairs). The Ministers may a) go by their judgement and advise the president or b) poll the people to see what they want.

After the president has recieved orders, he plays the turn. He can do whatever he wants, but may lose his reelection in one month if he doesn't listen to the people.

Grandpa Troll · July 11, 2003, 21:47

Ok!

Count me in!!

Ugh..

what do I do next?..vote in a poll,seek (or nominate myself?) for an election to a certain post?

Let me know!

I am ready to be a dictator..I mean a democrat!

Peace

Grandpa Troll

Frozzy · July 11, 2003, 21:53

At present, we are struggling to fill positions

So feel free to nominate yourself in this thread for any of the positions in the opening post!

We should get a full restart after these elections

Then there will be polls and such to vote in and tamper with

Grandpa Troll · July 11, 2003, 22:03

Well, I feel since an opening IS I shall nominate myself to fill it!

I nominate Troll Two Feathers of The Native Americans.(I can choose native Americans cant I?)..or do I have to choose a certain civ...??)

There it is..President Troll!

More Chickens in every pot of stew!

More gold per turn in the coffer!

More exploration than Lewis and Clark!

A very stern Hand in dealing with Rebel Rousers!!

Peace

Grandpa Troll

Frozzy · July 11, 2003, 22:11

Troll, as we all control the same civilisation, we are all "Atlantians", citizens of the Atlantis civilisation.

At the moment, we are at war with Greece, and have recently met the Thai nation.

Frozzy · July 11, 2003, 22:13

I find it rather funny that this thread has probably the most amount of people posting in it since we started the game

Grandpa Troll · July 11, 2003, 22:14

Ok..President Troll of the Atlantians it is!

Now, is my Limo enroute or are there some chads to count?

Peace

Grandpa Troll

Frozzy · July 11, 2003, 22:17

The next stage is to wait for Method/TKG/whatever he is calling himself (the overseer of these elections) to post the Election threads.

However, we really need a Minister of Domestic Affairs

Well, as Presidente'..I..ugh mean Mr.President, I would declare a state of national emergency, thus "incorporating" dual leadership positions and thusly moving forward onto our growth!

I mean, whats the harm, I "feel" the pulse of the people and know what they need?

Peace
