Who should control the empire sliders?

Pedrunn · November 23, 2002, 01:45

Several people voted in the poll to decide the ministers the governement our DG will have.

But some stuff is being discusses and our dividing our community.
One of this stuff is to decide who should control the Empire settings, pw-rate. sliders, sci-rate. (In another words the empire manage screen).

Here is a summary of the ministery of our government and their function (I have propositaly not adde the empire slider in any of the positions) so that you can decide in which position we should add the control of the Empire settings, , pw-rate. sliders, sci-rate.

President
- government type
- Running the game

Minister of Defense
- Military Units
- Special units, except settlers

Minister of Domestic Affairs
- City build orders
- City Management, specialists
- City placement/naming, settlers

Minister of Infrastructure
- Terraforming/Infrastructure

Minister of Trade, Science and Diplomacy
- Trade
- Science
- Diplomacy

Domestic Affairs. IMO, its a Domestic Affair.

the pres, as long as he won't get any veto-powers let's give him some other stuff to decide - government is likely to always be decided by a vote

President needs more stuff to do.

I agree but the Domestic Affair Minister has already too much work deciding what to build in every city. But i do belive that having the infrastructure minister with this functions also makes sense. After all to decide Work hours, Wages, PW rate, Science rate has something to do with infrastructure planning.

Pedrunn, Empire sliders don't require a lot of changing, only every 10 turns, say

HuangShang · November 24, 2002, 23:21

yo man i thought this would have been decided long ago

to show how i feel about this a abstained

and also b/c i dont really no

I voted Pres, but under the assumption, he has to place a poll, before changing.

I just don't want to work more or pay more

About positive effect, no poll needed

Well, it is a domestic affair, so then obviously the Minister of Domestic Affairs should handle it. (Otherwise we could always rename the post to Minister of Some Domestic Affairs.

)

Don’t worry too much about the president not doing too much – I don’t know many president’s around the world in RL that do much anyway.

In a few hours this thread will reach 72 hours!

Should i start a run off poll President X Minister of Infrastructure?
Or wait other people votes? Tomorrow i will see what has been decided.

Gilgamensch · November 26, 2002, 02:43

Run-off poll with three options?

It is only decided that it will not be the Supreme Commander and the Minister of Science........

Devil of Truth · November 26, 2002, 04:48

Give it another day... Hopefully more people will vote!

Pedrunn · November 26, 2002, 22:08

*Bump*

Pedrunn · November 27, 2002, 06:15

Now what do we do?

Make a poll with the three positions?

Gilgamensch · November 27, 2002, 06:36

As there hasn't been a major change, I think we should run a run-off poll with those three options.......

Devil of Truth · November 27, 2002, 09:05

As much as I hate voting on a vote

– there’s not much choice here. Play it again, Pedrunn.
