My leige, may I draw your attention to my forum organization proposal, posted for review and comment in
The Royal House of W - post #13.
I am soliciting the opinion of every Nobel in Merlot, but we all know that there's really only one opinion that truly matters!
This is a welcome, well though suggestion W! However I think you misunderstood my intensions on creating the positions of the various imperial specialists. The purpose of creating the imperial specialist positions is
not to create a closed circle of nobles who will run the Merlot empire, but rather to split the necessary work into several nobles instead of concentrating it to 1-2 persons.
The specialists will not report to a closed circle only visible to the King but in open threads for all the people of Merlot.
For example the Imperial spy will need to take screens of demographics every turn and analyze what he sees in demographics. All these screens will be posted in a separate thread visible to all.
So each Imperial specialist will be in charge of one thread, your suggestions for names seem generally good, I made some slight modifications.
"
The Gateway" is indeed a proper place to welcome our people and guests and to keep sticky info. The Merlot lounge can be renamed for that use.
"
The Great Hall" is indeed a proper place for our Imperial general who will be our turn player and it can be used as a sticky thread to post all the screens and info from played turns.
For the purposes of the King communicating with the nobles we will use this thread "
The Royal court".
The East tower will be renamed to the "
All seeing tower" and will be the home of the Imperial spy. We will use this thread to post demographic screens and in game intelligence from every turn.
"
The west tower" is indeed a proper place for planning the empire and thus a home of the Imperial strategist and the Imperial mathematician. It is there where all the strategic planning of the empire will be done.
The ante room will be renamed to the "
global foyer" and will be the home of our Imperial diplomat, our voice to the outside world. We will use this thread for all diplomatic planning and activity.
Finally the "
King's chambers" will be used by the domestic advisor. this will be the only private room of the King and one that only the Imperial domestic advisor will be allowed to enter. The role of the Imperial domestic advisor will be to inform the King of the will of the people of Merlot.
