Could you include the general job descriptions in your first post?

I'm also nominating myself for the Secretary of Factional Defense position.

/me likes the exploring bit...drawing all kinds of routes over screenshots

Maniac · September 26, 2003, 08:07

General Secretary seems a nice job...

Snowflake · September 26, 2003, 10:16

Does the General Secretary uses a secretary?

Octavian X · September 26, 2003, 16:56

bah.

I will also announce my own candidacy for the General Secretary position.

Snowflake · September 26, 2003, 17:50

Shouldn't you include Maniac as another candidate for the General Secretary position?

Makahlua · September 26, 2003, 19:44

I'm thinking about the economic policies post, myself - could you explain 'makes 5 year plans' more?

Octavian X · September 26, 2003, 23:05

I thought Maniac was compleamenting my amazing spelling abilities.

As for the five year plans, I'd assume it just means coming up with plans for energy allocation (ie 10% to econ, 20% to pysch, etc.)

Nubclear · September 26, 2003, 23:18

I announce my candidacy for General Secretary.

I wasn't. I would like to announce my candidacy for General Secretary.

I presume. I guess it could be called Assistant General Secretary?? Do you perhaps want to apply for the job?

Makahlua · September 27, 2003, 11:56

Well list me as a candidate for economic policies then

*starts plotting the forming of her own little region to retire as a governor to (as all good ministers should.

) *

Drogue · September 28, 2003, 16:11

I have a couple of questions.

Can the General Secretary hold any other position, if it is mostly RP? Can, like the last game, an official also be a governor?

Put me down for Secretary of Foreign Affairs either way

MrWhereItsAt · September 29, 2003, 03:11

I am tempted, despite my other enormous responsibilities, but need some time to think.

How long will this be here for, before polls?

GeneralTacticus · September 29, 2003, 04:19

Put me down for Chairman of the Council of Ministers.

If my constitutional proposal would be accepted, it would be like this:

Quote:

Officials can be divided in four groups:
1. General Secretary
2. Politburo members and Judges
3. Chairman and all-union Secretaries
4. First Secretaries of Union Republics
It is not allowed to run for two positions in the same group. Nor is it allowed to combine the position of General Secretary with a position in group three or four. All other combinations are allowed.

So the General Secretary cannot have any executive position, except for the Politburo duties of possibly being Judge, and vetoing a decision (but that requires a majority of the entire (present) Politburo).
All-union Secretaries can also be First Secretaries of Union Republics.

It sounds like fun. Get to play without the serious responsibility.

Hercules · September 29, 2003, 13:23

Can I be a politburo member. Head of the secret police. Inspector Hercules Headsov.

Drogue · September 29, 2003, 14:08

Herc: Politburo members are decided by the General Secretary.

Thanks Maniac, in that case, put me down for First Secretary of (the capital) Republic too

And Octavian: It's Drogue

In my constitutional proposal you would have to be a Politburo member to be able to volunteer for Judge when a court case arises. I could of course make them elected officials like the Secretaries if people want that. But in the previous ACDG judges were elected, and when a court case arises, a few of the elected judges had already become inactive. Therefore I thought it was better to let judges come from the Politburo, which should consist of the most active members (besides other criteria).

Drogue · September 29, 2003, 16:15

I agree completely. Sorry, my misunderstanding. Have edited.

Lemmy · September 29, 2003, 17:06

Maniac, i'll vote for you if you make me a member of the politburo

Snowflake · September 29, 2003, 17:14

General Secretary can appoint people to Poliburto anytime and remove them anytime right?

Drogue · September 29, 2003, 17:18

Dammit, that was my line

I mean how could you try such blatant subtefuge ~~at least PM discretely~~

Octavian X · September 29, 2003, 17:24

Looking at the current list of candidates, I'm rather disappointed that there are few actual races going on. I'd jump for another position, but I don't currently have a functioning copy of SMAC.

Still, after someone announces an intention to run for the Science spot, I'll open the polls 24 hours after that announcement. We want to have a full cabinet before things get underway.

Hercules · September 29, 2003, 17:39

The head of the secret police is decided by 'the Head of the Secret Police'.

Oh and the head of the secret police is always on the politburo because he/she has wonderful files on everyone, and video tapes.

The previous post was just to see who would suggest that proposal inappropriate, thereby indicating a certain misunderstanding of the way things really operate in the Hive state.

Now let's go over it again. repeat after me.

'I (whoever is current General Secretary) appoint Inspector Hercules Headsov to the Politburo'

Corellion · September 29, 2003, 17:40

What the hell. I'll put myself up for Secretary of Science and Social Engineering.

I Tassadar appoint Inspector Hercules Headsov to the Politburo, providing he give me access to his files. Mainly on women. For national security reasons, of course

Octavian X · September 29, 2003, 18:17

With candidates for all positions now ready, we will hold elections in around 24 hours.

Octavian X · September 29, 2003, 18:19

Tass, you've got it all wrong. It's:

I, Octavian X appoint Inspector Hercules Headsov to the Politburo, provided Octavian is supplied with enough xenodoughnuts on a monthly basis.

Hercules · September 29, 2003, 19:58

Now we're beginning to understand.

Files on commodity XX which contain the salient output features from the 5 year plan draft version, 36-24-36, on their way to Comrade Tassadar.

A sizable sample of the sweetly derivative from our collective farming processing plant is being directed to a special 'quality assurance' inspectorate, well what else, for quality assurance testing according to Directive D-014-uts.

Meanwhile new material has been added to files on some comrades.

Oh and our camera's caught that little incident in the gallery, Drogue. you know the one with the Boar, say no more.
