Ah I see that you have education, just not any general one. I guess you do not need to know how to get along with others.

I may be an intelligent sword, but I had no formal edumication. How does that line go Jamski?

I think the spelling is kind of the point...

Incidentally, poor spellers are severely punished in Sparta. Military orders must be spelled correctly to be understood, after all.

Why should we, as a superior trained and superior race, debase ourselves with mundane activities when there are lesser beings to do these lesser tasks?

Silly weakling.

Now start doing pushups, because when we do round you up we expect no less than 18 hr days (out of 20 hr Chiron days) of physical labor.

Actually, IIRC, Chiron days are only 18 hours long... they'd also do well to learn to work in their sleep.

We'll make more than a man outta ya! We'll make you into a Morgan weenie-puchin', Gaian clobberin', Data Angel dominatin' elite infantry man! Complete with your own personal round of nerve gas pods and a target practice poster of Morgan Industries- for when you're not dragging a scout rover 20 miles in the mud, or doing 200 push-ups with a missle launcher on your back - in the mud!

Wow, it *is* muddy around here! Must be those mischievious Gaian formers changing the weather patterns again! Which reminds me, I better get back to shoveling those 50 tons of mud out of the Sparta Command parking lot. We've gotta have somewhere to park our immense legions of hovertanks, after all!

Btw, we never finished the discussion on how to call our government officials.

For the turnplayer I think about everyone liked "Commander in Chief".
For the more organizational, bureaucratic "Alpha Talent-Second Function" tasks some options suggested were Secretary-General, Major-General, or Second-in-Command IIRC.
For the other members of the Joint Chief of Staffs (the minister-director positions) suggestions were to call them all Chiefs or Generals in their particular fields.

What to pick?

That would be mindworm larvae. This was not attempt to assasin you, wine is better when you put several larvae in it. It adds great aroma. But ofcourse you have to take them out before drinking or accidents happen.

Generals is better than Chiefs, but I prefer Captains, myself.

The C-in-C would be Colonel Maniac, or Colonel Jamski etc, the second-in-command would be Lt.Col. Skanky etc..

Then the people in charge of particular depts. would be Capts.

Hmm. We could do that in the beginning, and around MY 2140 when we have half the Planet, we could all rise in rank, like the Colonel wound end up a General, and so on, as we'd have to add ladders to the hierarchy to make things work with bigger and bigger amounts of soldiers.

I agree that the top rank initially should be Colonel, and ranks later in the game are open for discussion. And I quite like the position Jam gave me.

Well, I never thought of the Spartans as going in for long titles...

Anyway, given the non-miltiary nature of the position, the Spartans would likely give it a very mundane title, like Quartermaster or similar.
