Good to see you using some Aussie slang!!
I don't see a problem with mayorial positions being discussed here, but the issue HAS gotten big enough to warrant a thread.
A sugesstion,
I think that the workers of Phonatica should be pooled as a collective resource controled by the senate. Currently each governor controls the worker's in thier own province, which is VERY inefficiant sometimes. Furthermore, during a turnchat the pres often has to make unaided judgements about worker activity. I propose that the senate establish a series of guiding rules which always apply and turn-chat specific priority tasks, heres an embryonic idea:
Whenever possible, the President will order workers to complete land improvements in the folloing fashion:
1. Clearing pollution in NP
2. Clearing pollution elsewhere
3. Road links between cities
4. Rail links between cities
5. Irrigation near growing cities
6. Mineing near non-growth cities in non mountains
7. Rail over worked land not directly in links
8. Clearing Jungle
9. Clearing forest where appropriate
10. Mineing mountains
11. Other work, including developing tiles for use in the nera future.
This is very preliminary
In a turn, it may be that tasks further down this list are more pressing, or special issues need to be brought to the president's attention. Like this:
Turn chat instructions for workers:
1. Stop all work in the new national park
2. Clear jungle near Enke as the citizens diseased
3. Irrigate land around Seattle as the citizens are starving
4. Mine hills around Khavotar do it can complete wonder quickly
5. All the deserts of Istar need work
Some are specific, some are general, all are important (note I made these up as examples).
Thoughts?
