I just as soon see her loose her position. Now.
Hmm. Just checked, and it's Mr Feb who is the Chief Medical Dwarf. I'm supposing that's who you were talking about?
OK, who would you see being his replacement as Chief Medical Dwarf? She's not got any skill in Diagnosing anyway, so the city wouldn't lose a valuable doctor.
Once everyone puts their own candidates forward, I'll stick a poll up and we can vote to see who gets put into the office. Any Dwarf can be a candidate for public service, including ones that normally are part of a District's founding family. Those big bedrooms and private offices are something to aspire to. (Well, there's also the "noble requirements" that everyone has to fulfill but that the noble's family District gets to keep as well...)
Edit: 26Jan16Whomever controls the Mayor's position gets to appoint some of the other noble positions, like CMO, broker and book-keeper. Once the position is available, there will be an annual election for Mayor every in-game year.
Ok, I loaded the save.
Which dorfs are available for the picking?
I kinda like the Ast family
Every dwarf except the "Light" dwarves
and anyone in a noble position (but just like Mrs Feb, those nobles can be voted out of office during the upcoming year.) Looks like the position of Chief Medical Dwarf might become available very soon.
Actually, we have 5 people who want a District right now, and a current population of 33. 7 x 5 = 35, so maybe we make it that the nobles can be chosen as founders, but have the run of the city because they're public servants to the city? That seems more logical. We're still 2-short, in a first-posted, first claimed manner, one District will have to wait to be started until the next wave of migrants. (edit: nobles can be Founders, but can move around the city at will)
