These are the traditional duties and powers of all councilmembers:

Post polls and discussions to determine citizen desires for departmental policies, plans and agendas.
Cast a tie-breaking vote in the polls determining their departmental policies, plans and agendas.
Formulate departmental policies, plans and agendas based on citizen feedback.
Formulate departmental policies, plans and agendas of their own in the absence of citizen feedback (forum outage, low participation, etc).
Convey these policies, plans and agendas to the President for play in the game.
Call Legislative and Override Council Votes.
Vote in Council Votes of all types

These are the duties assigned to the culture leader:

Can supercede a provincial build queue with cultural improvements under certain circumstances.

Please Accept or Decline any nominations you receive.

Yours,
The Election Office

I doubt this is the correct place to put this, but I would like to petition for the retirement of this position. I nominate no one. It should be left vacant.

If someone feels that this post should be deleted, I gladly will. Let's face it, Plexus didn't really have anything to do this term and no one seemed to notice.

Plexus · Aug 25, 2003, 02:38 PM

I concurr. The culture ministry is obsolete.

deshelbr · Aug 25, 2003, 11:55 PM

Wow, I'm getting a lot less resistance that I thought I would. By the way, Plexus, I just now realized that you were the one that made the Japan 1583 scenario. My girlfriend who grew up in Japan and I love it!! I was trying to create the same scenario off that same website's maps and everything. When you released yours I realized that mine sucked. Thanks for making such a great mod.

(once again, this probably didn't belong here.)

Rik Meleet · Aug 26, 2003, 01:48 AM

Deshelbr: It's culture ... I am going to try to Install it and use it tonight.
Plexus: I think the ToKugawa kwanto (8 provinces) where more East; around where the Hojo is in this map; but I coul be wrong. ( http://forums.civfanatics.com/attach...&postid=688411 )
[ontopic] What has the culture department ever done for us ?

Plexus · Aug 26, 2003, 02:54 AM

@deshelbr- Thanks, and no it didn't belong here...

@Rik- Tokugawa is positioned accurately. Many of the diversions from that map are either for gameplay purposes or other historical or political reasons.

Culture has not served a puropse in this game, true, but it was very useful in DGs 1&2.

Bacon King · Aug 26, 2003, 07:28 AM

Then we should change the Culture Department to how it was in DG1 and 2, or get rid of it.
Or we could all just play Plexus' Japan Scenario

(speaking of which, I'm downloading it now

)

CivGeneral · Aug 26, 2003, 01:19 PM

I would like to nominate Gainy Bo and ChairmanYang to this possition

.

Bacon King · Aug 26, 2003, 01:20 PM

I'll second them both.

To make this office come to use, they should calculate culture flip propabilities in addition to the regular duties.

Aug 26, 2003, 01:26 PM

Thanks CG and Bacon, but i'll have to Decline. I'm happy being a mere Mayor

, and don't think I could handle the huge resposibility of this role

Bootstoots · Aug 26, 2003, 02:28 PM

Wasn't deshelbr's point that it didn't have any responsibilities?

Bacon King · Aug 26, 2003, 02:39 PM

exactly, it'd just be a way of forcing them to pay attention to the demogame more

zorven · Aug 26, 2003, 02:49 PM

While it seems there is nothing for this position to do, I believe that the position is what you make of it. If nothing else, this Leader has the opprotunity to keep the citizens up to date on a variety of statistics and information. That is a valuable role for someone to fill.
