A recommendation for a new kind of citizen group

[Methos]

On an other note, in reference to a query in the Naming thread, about (funnily enough) naming and re-naming cities, proposals to rename cities have to be vetted by the Domestic Affairs committee to ensure that no-one can use up the 'one name change per term poll' with a silly name.

Not necessarily. It's my understanding that these committees don't really have any power, but are only an area (thread) for those who have that type of interest to discuss them. It's my understanding that these groups are not able to hold any powers at all.

Now if the official is influenced by the committee, or starts agreeing to the committees decisions they would gain power by this influence, but that's only at the officers will.

I really like the idea, especially if they have no real power, but rather power through influence. One thing I've noticed from lurking other demogames is that there was a lack of concentration on separate areas of the game; it seemed like everyone was just all over the place and it was a bit overwhelming. I think this will help people "specialize," which would be a good thing.

So who is going to start the other committees? I really like the idea of committees but I only found 1 sofar.

I think two more comities must be created now, because, probably, they will
be among the first ones needed: Military and Domestic.

May I suggest Lockesdonkey to start them, not caring if he intents to stay
or not?

Best regards,

Since this is your baby Locke I'd like to ask if you care to be the one who creates the committee threads or do you mind if the citizens do?

I encourage others to create the other committees. I won't be creating a committee thread for a topic area if I'm not particularly interested in it.

I do, however, suggest the following titles for threads for the military and domestic affairs:

Legislative Committee: The Committee on the Armed Services
Legislative Committee: The Committee on Domestic Affairs
