In order to improve fortress administration, and dispel any airs that I intend to act as a King, I have decided to try and share the burden of administrating this succession thread a bit more. Besides myself and DoctorMcTaalik acting as "co-consuls" (DoctorMcTaalik, I expect you'll try and take a more active role in the future if possible) of this fortress, I am looking for somebody to fill the following five positions (all named after positions in the Roman Republic)
Censor- Will be responsible for monitoring players to make sure they take their turns at appropriate times, and empowered to skip delinquent players and hand the turn off to the next player in the turn order (though myself and DoctorMcTaalik will still act as backups to the Censor). As a reward for putting forth the effort, the Censor will be given two votes in any issues the fortress decides to vote upon as a group.
Aedile- Will be responsible for monitoring the state of fortress supplies and stockpiles (including food/drink, stone, wood, and fuel stockpiles), and advise players on their use. Can call a vote upon, and will be empowered with two votes, on any issue regarding fortress production/trade.
Quaestor- Will act as both an assistant to the fortress Aedile (it can become rather tiring constantly bugging players about what they are producing, or where they are storing things), and the official Fortress Artist (both the go-to person for player-created art, and responsible for monitoring the aesthetic of the actual fortress). Can call a vote on any issue regarding fortress administration, but will receive no votes in the decision, unless it pertains to artwork/aesthetics.
Tribunes- The two Tribunes (singular, Tribunus) will be responsible for overseeing the fortress military. This means (1) ensuring that players are engaged in active training, equipment, and cross-training programs for the military; and (2) overseeing and advising in the actual use of the fortress military (including ensuring that players are NOT engaging in unnecessary battles). Each Tribunus will be endowed with two votes regarding all fortress military issues, the ability to call votes on such issues, and limited executive power to oversee the military (this includes the ability to order players to revert saves after unwise and unnecessary military engagements that went badly, and the ability to dispense punishments if players ignore common sense and endanger the military/fortress against all reason...)
Please PM me if you are interested in one of these positions, and I will discuss the candidates (privately) with DoctorMcTaalik.
Regards,
Northstar
