Nominations

H Tower · March 12, 2003, 15:20

I haven't seen anyone proposing a government structure other than FMK, and his proposal calls for electing a few officials, most of them civilian.

So nominate yourself for Marshal, Armaments Minister, Economic Minister and Propoganda Minister. The military positions are to be filled by whoever the Marshal selects. Following is a description of what each minister does...

Marshal In charge, defines the different fronts of battle and who commands them. Controls where reinforcements and labour brigades go. He is the first and last person to play the game in a turn. Reports enemy movements upon new turns.

Armaments Minster In charge of the Ural Mountains Industrial Complex of cities and the production of those not directly under control of a Front commander (these western cities like Tula and Orel etc will eventually be occupied by Commanders, negating duty). Controls what is produced. Controls workers and labor brigades within the region for maximum output. Must gain the agreement of the Economic Minister to spend money out of the national treasury. Reports to the Marshal.

Economic Minister In Charge of the Science, tax, lux rate. In charge of assigning specialists to all cities. Controls the Caucauses Oil Fields. Must give approval for use of the rubles in rush buying by the Front Commanders and Armaments Minister. Controls the movement of Lend-Lease Program freight once they land in Murmansk. Reports to the Marshal.

Propaganda Minstry Consists of a Minister position (editor) and and newspaper (Pravda). Creates a map of the current war, records historical events and human intrest/ patriotic stories. These are several open positions for those who would like to be various types of journalists, though there is the chief editor of the newspaper, as Minister of Prop. Reports to the Marshal.

Candidates
Marshal: FMK
Armaments Minster: Iron Chancellor, curtsibling
Economic Minister: greeny
Propoganda Minister: H Tower, Pevonian

Oh yeah, I want to be propoganda minister

Iron Chancellor · March 12, 2003, 15:27

I announce my candidacy for Armaments Minister.

By the way, HTower, if I lose, count me in as a contributor to Pravda.

greeny · March 12, 2003, 18:03

I nominate myself for consideraiton for the post of Economic Minister.

I have a plan; and I want to get my grubby mitts on the Soviet tresury

I'm good at maths too, which always helps

H Tower · March 12, 2003, 18:06

updated, still no one willing to take on Marshal yet. *cough*where's FMK?*cough*

klesh · March 12, 2003, 18:38

I am here! This is great huh HTower? Pretty much just what was needed, a little place all our own to kick things off rite.

I would be greatly honoured if I were allowed to submit myself as a canidate for the Marshal position.

Honestly, the economic minister then the armaments minister have jobs of higher importance than any of the Front Commanders. Both of these positions will require Ubernerd-like skills to be able to get us techs in a few turns as well as the humungous industrialization we'll need to strike back. Dont anyone underestimate these positions!

HTower, get your lowsy away message off. :doitnow:

-FMK.

greeny · March 12, 2003, 19:18

I know the score on technology in Red Front: We will need to max out science in the first few turns to get
KV-1s and them rush-build them in huge numbers if we hope to slow the Axis advance down.

FMKs got my vote

The ANZAC · March 12, 2003, 20:11

I support FMK for the marshallery

And myself as a front commander

Iron Chancellor · March 12, 2003, 20:58

I believe we should have an election thread just to keep things neat.

klesh · March 12, 2003, 21:05

We need more than one canidate per Catagory before we can vote. At least in some cases.

-FMK.

curtsibling · March 12, 2003, 21:34

I support FMK as Marshall!

Since I was one of the first 3 posters in the glorious revolutionary first thread, I would like to command a great industrial city!

So I can get 'to show my quality!'

curtsibling · March 12, 2003, 21:35

To make things fun, I will run for Armaments Minster too!

Iron Chancellor · March 12, 2003, 23:56

Bah, we don't need any Democracy here, uh, as long as I'm elected, that is...

Pap1723 · March 13, 2003, 00:15

I would like to nominate myself as a front commander and I second FMK's nomination as General Secretary.

front commanders are selected by the Marshal, and we don't have a General Secretary, we have a Marshal

Shaka Naldur · March 13, 2003, 07:45

so the marshal will choose the front comanders??
i don´t like that idea

fairline · March 13, 2003, 08:47

This isn't a democracy, people, its the Soviet Union. Excecute that counter revolutionary now

/me sticks up hands

Can we have a campaign speech FMK? I don't think I can vote for someone whom I know nothing about.

/me regains seat in the commissar, nervously looking at the armed Chekists.

H Tower · March 14, 2003, 10:21

NOMINATIONS ARE CLOSED, ELECTIONS HAVE BEEN POSTED

Dr. Nick · March 14, 2003, 23:18

Damn, well, I'll just go off to the front and fight for the Rodina so that, well, erm, my own sergeants don't shoot me in the back. Yes, I love my sergeant, and my trusty T-34 as well.

CivGeneral · March 15, 2003, 01:06

I wish to nominate myself for a possition. But I am afraid I came too late since the Elections have started

curtsibling · March 17, 2003, 11:11

There is a nice border patrol position on the Kiev front if you want it!!!

Colwyn · March 17, 2003, 17:34

that once elected they must elect Colwyn as the Black sea commander if they they don't want Stalin finding out about their little bit on the side.

If it can help me advance, then I shall take it

H Tower · March 19, 2003, 01:29

no such elected position exists, which means that this is the wrong thread to be discussing it in. All military positions are being selected from this thread: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=80403

Marshal of the Soviet Union Field Marshal Klesh will select willing commanders of the fronts from those who show interest.

As nominations for the elected positions are over, (indeed the elections themselves are over) this thread need not remain open.

In the immortal words of my favorite mod:

CASE CLOSED.
