Citizen's,

This initiative define the Designated Player pool. By putting it separate from the other initiatives, they can be changed without affecting the DP pool. Discussion has been in this thread

Do you approve of this initiative?
Yes - You approve of this initiative
No - You do not approve of this initiative
Abstain - You have no preference about this initiative

Section 1
During each regular election cycle, a separate thread will be created during the nomination process for Designated Player (DP) Candidates. Any citizen that wishes to be a DP must declare so in a post in this thread. When the election polls are posted, a separate poll, in multi-choice format, listing each candidate will be posted. Citizens will vote their approval for a candidate by selecting their name.

A citizen may run for an elected office and apply to be a DP in the same term. The DP Pool does not count as an elected office.

Each candidate that receives a vote from more than 60% of the citizens that vote in the poll will be accepted as a DP for that term. The Election Office will put together a list of the Designated Players, ordered by the number of votes in support for that term. In the event of a tie, the order of posting in the nomination thread will be used. All DPs that actually ran a game session in the previous term will be put below those that did not, regardless of the number of votes. This list will determine the order that the DPs will be used for game sessions. If there are more game sessions than DPs, start again from the top of the list.

The DP Pool Manager is responsible for organizing the DP Pool, and tracking the schedule of DP's. Should the DP pool be empty, the DP Pool Manager is responsible for determining who will be the DP for each game session, using any citizen to serve as DP. The DP Manager may also post a poll requesting that DP be removed from the pool. This is a private poll, lasting 4 days. If more than 60% of citizen vote in favor of removal, the citizen is removed from the DP pool immediately.

Members of the DP pool may exchange places as they desire, so long as all citizens involved agree.

Interpretation: If there are more Yes votes than No votes at the close of the poll, the initiative is accepted.
 
I am quite critical on the 60% or greater for the needed votes to be elected. So I would vote no.
 
3/5 is fine i think
 
Might have to vote no or abstain on this one. Can't figure out where the DP poll manager comes from. :confused:
 
Well.....

Tribal Government Law said:
The Chieftain is the supreme leader of our nation. They control all units and have all powers not granted to another official. This includes overseeing Elections and the Designated Player pool.

DP Pool Manager would be the Chieftain, with our current government...... however.... there's a bit of a conflict in terminology....
 
Ahh, thanks for clearing that up for me General. I don't think the terminology is that conflicting.

donsig,

As Falcon02 pointed out, it's the Chieftain. I did something similar with the Election Office.

I did it like that so that these initiatives are separate from each other. The Government could change without affecting this. Likewise, this could change without affecting the Government. All this does is say that this initiative creates a duty - the DP Manager. The Government structure says who gets that duty.

I think all my time dealing with OO coding is starting to influence the DG!

Makes sense Ravensfire (and I voted for the initiative once the General explained about the Chieftan). I almost made a post suggesting it would have been better to sync this initiative with the government but then realized it is better to have stand alone intiatives.

You've done a great job on these intiatives and you deserve alot of credit. You deserve my vote for CJ - and you'd get it if I weren't running against you. :D
