Regional Administrators : the thread

Spiffor · December 12, 2002, 13:32

OK, since I'm the only one running for Domestic Minister, I have fair chances to be elected

, so I guess I should get to work right now.

I won't be able to show the same dedication as E_T did, and I will be unable to manage all our cities of our huge country by myself. I am in dire need of assistance, and I ran because I knew many of you want to help the DM.
Since we didn't decide yet if Regional Administrators (RAs) should be elected or appointed, I will appoint them as my aides.
RAs will be responsible for city planning in their regions as well as worker orders. If regionally managed workers prove unpracticable, I'll look for a deputy specialized in public works nationwide.

Here are my requests :

1. If you're interested in being a RA / aide to the Domestic Minister in any way, please say so.
2. If you can provide me with a map of the provinces, please do so. I didn't find the latest provincial maps.
3. If you can post a comprehensive and complete report on the situation of one/several cities, you'd be more than welcome.

Thanks for the help !

Edit :

Potential RAs :
- GhengisFarb
- Meshelic
- Dejon
- Togas
- Panzer32
- Kloreep
- Donegeal

Potential PW aides :
- Meshelic

I would have worked on some potential provence borders but here doesn't appear to be a recent save anywhere.

Spiffor · December 12, 2002, 13:45

Here's the latest save at this point

Meshelic · December 12, 2002, 14:02

I was going to make the regional maps, according to E_T's old "regional administrators" thread long ago...but then again, Ghengis is MUCH better at such things than I....

are the regions staying the same or being rewritten? alot has happened since then...

And I'd be interested in either the Public Works deputy job, or a regional administrative job if it's taken already.

(I;m doubting my chances against E_T in the SMC election, so this is probably the way to go. I'd almost rather do one of the above than SMC, but don't tell the voters that... Dammit, I just did!!! oh well)

Spiffor · December 12, 2002, 14:08

If the latest province divisions are obsolete, I will come up with a plan until tomorrow (a written plan, not a map), or maybe someone will come up with a better plan than I before that.

GhengisFarb™ · December 12, 2002, 14:26

I think Uber Island is an obvious Region also here is my first choice for regional governorship:

(Name is a work in progress

)

Hot Mustard · December 12, 2002, 15:08

That's great, GhengisFarb! It also fits my suggestion for regions perfectly.

Central Apolyton
~ Apolyton
~ Termina
~ Tassagrad
~ Gotham
~ Banana HQ
~ Chartes
~ Timeline
~ Opiadom
~ Rheims
~ Port Rouge

Old Persia (GhengLand)
~ Susa
~ Bacteria
~ Muncie
~ Tarsus
~ Arbela
~ The Forbidden City
~ Antioch
~ Willsbury
~ Port of Malignance
~ GhengisTown

Upper Apolyton
~ Loveshack
~ Gaia
~ Geofront
~ Ubergorsk
~ Oak Ridge
~ Seeberg
~ New York
~ Del Monte
~ Chiquita
~ San Cortes

Old France
~ Macross City
~ Jerusalem
~ Here It Is
~ Heliopolis
~ Lhasa
~ Port of Where It's At
~ Avignon (El Duderino?)
~ Arcadia
~ Hole in the Wall
~ Dijon

Uber Island
~ Another Glorius City
~ Neon Uber City
~ Boomtown
~ Shiberport
~ Solace
~ Whelsh Coast

I would like to volunteer to be the RA for Old France. With four RA's everyone would have ten or eleven cities, and the DM could run Uber Island.

GhengisFarb™ · December 12, 2002, 15:49

Ghengland's arch nemesis, Olde France:

"Stupid Frenchies!"
"Snobby Ghenglish!"

Hot Mustard · December 12, 2002, 15:54

At least there's much better skiing in Olde France than GhengLand!

Excellent graphics, Ghengis...
As always.

Togas · December 12, 2002, 17:57

I'd like to volunteer to manage one of the regions. Perhaps Central Apolyton?

--Togas

Aro · December 12, 2002, 18:08

It's slightly off topic, but...
I'm watching the posts, the campaign, the return of old friends, our best citizens engaged...
Is just me or our Days of Glory are coming back?

Panzer32 · December 12, 2002, 18:42

Spiffor- I said I could be an RA also.

Kloreep · December 12, 2002, 18:53

Definitely count me in.

It looks like no one wants poor Upper Apolyton, so I could take that province.

Donegeal · December 12, 2002, 19:44

I would be interested in a RA position. I have even done it before. I was a RA for three terms. I would

to do this again. I would perfer Piña Colada, as that was where I was before (that would be Upper Apolyton), but wherever you can fit me in is great.

Hot Mustard · December 12, 2002, 19:49

Looks like there's a healthy number of prospective RA's - feel free to slice and dice my region suggestion folks. We can carve it into smaller chunks.

Kloreep · December 12, 2002, 20:05

Well, I think that just about covers Apolyton. Dejon's regions are going to have to be cut up at this point.

Nice contrast to last term.

I'm happy pretty much anywhere, as long as it isn't Uber Island.

I don't like the sea that much.

Donegeal · December 12, 2002, 20:07

Here is the Region list from two terms ago. Its a little out dated, but I could fix it up you guys would like.

current Provinces

Edit: Current Provinces thread is updated.

=OttomusCeasar= · December 12, 2002, 20:22

Wow, look at the people coming out of the woodwork. At least Lux holding the PTW game hostage (or have they simply killed it?) had some postiive side effects.

Spiffor · December 12, 2002, 21:08

Bad news :
I will have no or very little internet time this weekend (starting Friday until Monday). I will still have Civ3, to study the situation, but cannot make it in a turnchat if we hold any.
Please continue to post here whatever you would find helpful, I'll sure read it when I'm back

Meshelic · December 12, 2002, 21:13

Lets just hope that nobody who really wants to be an official RA or Governor get screwed into administrating any small, backwater areas of our country....
...although this has happened before in real life so I'd probably expect the same here....

Spiffor should draw names out of a hat or something. Or appoint based on first come first serve....

(which in that case I'd be first, muwahaha)
just kidding,....sorta.....

And Aro, you're right, the unification of Apolyton is beginning....

....Thanks to the Labor Party....

THis is a very good point and needs to be addressed, not for just this City, but for all of the new Regions. So, on that note....

Domestic Ministries Executive Order #1 (tenitive):
The Redistricting of the Provences will have the following restriction - Cities that have tiles that overlap with another city will be part of the same district/provence.

E_T

Panzer32 · December 13, 2002, 00:46

that will probably totally reshape the provinces! Also, would it result in one big province dealing with most of the country?

Well, I had some time and I figured out what the provinces would look like with this directive:

Region I
Hole in Wall
Arcadia
Dijon
El Duderino
Port of Where It's At
Heliopolis
Lhasa
Here It Is

Region II
Jerusalem
Port Rouge
Marcoss City
Rheims
Opiadem
Chartues
Timeline
Gothem
Termina
Apolyton
Tassagrad
Bannana HQ
Loveshack
Oak Ridge
Geofront
Ubergrosk
Ghengistown
Port of Malignance
Willsbury
Antioch
Seeburg
Neopolyton
New York

Region III
Forbidden City
Muncie
Basteria
Susa
Tarsus
Arbela

Region IV
San Cortez
Chiquita
Del Monte
Gaia

Region V
Anorther Glorious City
Neon Uber City
Boomtown
Shiberport
Solace
Whelsh Coast

Hmmmm... I don't think thats going to work...

PS- I don't have the game right now. I made this list up from the maps ET posted at this thread.

E_T · December 13, 2002, 02:22

I don't really know. I do know that you need to have some way of dealing with that.

If you have a City that has overlaps with 2, maybe 3 provence cities, how do you decide the allocation of those Resources? Who gets them and when?

If they are all in the same Provence, you only have the one person to deal with that issue. That's why my order is tenitive, to address that and make sure that things run smoothly, before it's too late.

E_T · December 13, 2002, 02:26

Donegeal, don't forget that we plan on expanding in the future, atleast into German lands over the next term.
