Just for clarity...you mean Game Manager, correct?

Yes, I do.

I nominate Shaitan as Game Manager and Item Manager

I nominate Eyrei as Bank Manager and Price Manager

(just to get some new flavor in here... will that be allowed?)

If not allowed i will second nominations of anybody and decline any nomination of me.

A point here which needs clarification:
As the RPG Managers become leaders (At least financially), they will not be able to hold other leader positions... Right or wrong?

Wrong. The RPG is totally outside of the normal COC and the RPG managers are not leaders in the Demo game.

Thanks, dis, but I am declining all nominations. I would be stretched too far as I am already a mod, active citizen and associate at A, P & N.

Im accepting bank nominations and head nominations-
remember- i created the bank, its price system and everything else related to it.

non-related math note-
i scored a 91 on my Math A regents, normally a 10th grade test that i took in 8th grade

so i may be rpg leader and head banker? possibly science leader, too.
thx god this isnt part of the COC.

You will only get money for the leader position though :-P
14gpt will it be. no more shall it be.

i nominate strider for manager after all it was his idea and he has put most planning into it

also people who are departmenet managers and sub managers and organizers just carry on as normal right

PROPOSAL:
these elections may end in chaos.
i have 3 proposals as alternatives:

1) only the main rpg manager is elected termly
he appoints his "submanagers". they only run thru acceptance polls. they can then found offices at will like all other leaders can.
payments: 4gpt for main manager, 3gpt for submanager, 2gpt for office head, 1gpt for office helper

2) main manager appointed
he main manager is appointed by the president. he runs thru an acceptance poll. he then appoints his submanagers as office heads, and they hire helpers.
payments: main manager 3gpt. office heads=submanagers=2gpt, helpers=1gpt

3) nobody gets elected or runs thru acceptance polls
this would limit all rpg-positions to a max pay of 2gpt.
payments: managers (main+sub)=2gpt, helpers=1gpt

i go with number 3 at the moment this is only adding confusion
at a later date with it all set up we can go to number 2 but this is only adding confusion

i think we need to hold off election thigns until we decide which off disis choices we are gonna use

i would prefer #2, as this would honour the main leader and will only clutter a single acceptance poll into the forums without interfering with any existing guidelines (i know the rpg is not in the rules, but we should treat it as if it was! the rules ensure democracy, and we can not live without this in here without risking to loose participants or having massive confrontation with the citizens)

it would also be possible to do this fast and without risking to have to move people from their existing positions.

The nominations and elections will continue. This discussion would have been appropriate when I was asking for feedback when designing the rules. It is not appropriate at this late date.

where did you ask for feedback apart from in the monster thread which most people wont read because of its so long if you started a thread sorry for having a o andd do you have a link

how many things can you be nominated for?

All of them. There are no restrictions in place.

i dont wanna be manager but can i be sub manager?
and i accept my nomination for thingy which i got npominated for

bcld- looks like i may become manager, so if i do, ill make you sub manager

Thanks dis, but I must decline my nomination.

i think strider has gone a way for a few days so can we postpone this cos no offense saam but it was his idea and he did quite a lot of work for it so its only fair he should run for it

i nominate bclg as manager of the rpg :-) just to get some competition into this election.

but i would still prefer no election mechanism or at least hold off until strider comes back!

okay i accept my nomination for item keeper and game manager

i would also like to nominate curufinwe for the bank manager

Strider is assumed to have accepted.

oh good as it was him that had the idea for it

I have updated the nomination synopse in the first post and PM'd curufinwe, Danke and VHS. Elections will be posted later today.

You can still nominate other people but I encourage you to contact them to accept the nomination asap.

I decline the nomination for game manager, but thanks. I have already made commitments to other potential responsibilities in the game and don't want to be unrealistic about what I can take on.

i guess il go for price manager. It would help alot w/ the exchange.

thx josh.

this is probably a bit late to be asking but what does an item keeper actually do i dont totall understand it do i just have a list of names and everything they have?

Yup. The Item Manager needs to check the posted transactions as they occur and update everybody's official inventories.

so in the end they will haver 1 long list or do some stuff wear out like food clothes and the such like

That's mostly going to be up to the first Item Manager. How detailed do they want to keep records? Add a date stamp to each item and depreciate it? Add a Term number to each record? Have a progressive "failure chance" the older an item gets? Go with the simple approach and assume an item is good forever? These are all questions that will need to be addressed by the Item Manager.

I'm closing this thread now as the nomination phase is over. Feel free to post more questions/discussion to the rule discussion thread.

Elections have been opened in the main forum for Game Manager and Price Manager. SAAM and BCLG100 are the confirmed winners in their uncontested contests for Bank Manager and Item Manager, respectively.

uhm if this thread is closed how come i can stil post?

Either you're a mod and didn't know it or i forgot to close the thread. ;)
