Domestic Department - Term 1

[Chieftess]

World Size: huge
Landmass: medium to large continents (possibly 60-70% water). We have met the Aztecs early on. Culturally-linked-starts is also on, so this leaves me to believe that the Aztecs, Americans, and Iroquois are all to the south, or southwest, if not on close-by islands.
Climate: Warm
Temperature: Normal most likely.
Age: 3 billion? 4 billion?
Barbarians: No guess as of yet.

It is with my most deepest regrets that I must forward my resignation as Domestic Advisor for Term 1. I very much enjoyed helping shape the early beginnings of our great (well, 1 or 2 city) nation.

RL has crept up behind and grabbed me. Unfortunately, it didn't find me until after the elections were finished and I was already elected. I tried to give it a go but it's a bit much at the moment. I will definitely not be able to keep up to my leadership standards over the rest of this term. So I thank my colleagues for working together with me and the citizens who supported me. I'll still be around as much as I can and hopefully things will settle down so I can contribute more in the future.

Good luck,
cp

 

[Danke]

CP, I am sorry to hear you are resigning, though thoroughly understand. I hope you find the time to continue to contribute as you can.

Sorry to see you go, cp. You've made a definite good impression on the game.

chiefpaco's resignation rasies a few questions. Chieftess is the deuty of this department. If she choses not to quit the presidency for this position, a new domestic leader shall have to be appointed.

 

[Cyc]

Oh, no, cp! It's the retirement home home for sure this time! You're probably just going back to see Nurse Rita. j/k

Well, bummer for us, good for you that R/L has become the dominant force in your day. We will miss your constant input and your Leadership. I hope you'll still attend an occasional turn chat.

I would think that Toasty would get the Deputy spot and then if Chieftess didn't want to give up the Presidency for the Domestic Dept. Leader, Toasty would become the new D/L.

Sorry to see you go, cp.

 

[Octavian X]

That's not how it works. 3rd place in the elections gets you absoulutly nothing. I do think that Toasty would make a good domestic leader.

Actually, I've been eyeing a council position (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

 

[eyrei]

I believe that an emergency election must take place?

Sorry you have to resign, CP. I hope you will at least have time to continue as a citizen.

 

[Octavian X]

Chieftess could use an informational one to make a choice, but no. According the CoL, when a leader vacates, and the deputy is unwilling to give up his/her current position in favor for the new one, the President appoints a new leader, who then needs to be approved by a majority of the council.

Sorry to see you go CP!

I was thinking Fionn.. But, I'll think about it.

 

[Chieftess]

Anyway, back to the domestic front. Our landmass seems to be growing, judging from the amount of time it took the Japanese to reach us (about twice as long as the Aztecs). If we are on a coninent, I'm starting to think that it's rather empty, with a few nations on our continent. So far, contact has been made from the SSW, and the W. Due to culturally linked starting locations, it seems as though we are on the edge of a cultural area. That is, the Japanese might have China and India, the Aztecs might have America and Iroquois. We almost border these nations. If we are on a panagaea, then the other nations (England, Rome, France etc. - we're starting with 15 other nations) must be somewhere to the east. It's still possible that they could be stuck on another island just off the coast. (I've seen that happen in a game I played).

The sparsness of nations is both positive and negative. While our contacts might be rare, we have a great source of land (food and resources) surrounding us. We should have no problem expanding.

Now that CP resigned, who is domestic leader?

 

[Chieftess]

Please vote in the Council Vote for Domestic Leader.

(I actually wonder who's going to vote from here. )

 

[Shaitan]

You should be able to vote, CT. You're the deputy so you are acting leader during CP's absence. I think resigning can definitely be considered being absent.

 

[Eklektikos]

Would Fionn care to post a description of where he stands on the issue of whether Fanatika should adopt a policy of military aggression? I would find it very helpful in deciding how to vote

hehe..
ohh, the power! I feel it coursing through my viens! muwahahahah!
j/k!

Ok, I'll vote, but it does feel odd being president and deputy. (Didn't Eyrei have to do that?)

 

[Shaitan]

Yes, he had to do it, but the other way around. He was Domestic Leader and VP when Grey Fox resigned the presidency.

A note about voting in the Council Vote - as our rules prohibit a single person voting twice on the same measure, you will not be able to cast the tie-breaking vote if it comes down to that.
